perubahan watak = 人物的转变

Soalan ini bernilai tiga markah, jadi cari tiga perubahan pada Jùnjié dalam perenggan pertama selepas bapanya cedera. Perhatikan cara dia bercakap, kelakuannya di dalam kelas dan sikapnya terhadap kerja rumah. Tulis jawapan dalam ayat lengkap.

Contoh: Dia menjadi pendiam dan sering termenung memandang ke luar tingkap.

Awas: Perubahan layanan rakan sekelas ialah jawapan soalan seterusnya, bukan soalan ini.

change in a character = 人物的转变

This answer is worth three marks, so find three changes in Junjie in the first paragraph after his father is injured. Look at how he talks, how he behaves in class and what happens to his homework. Answer in complete sentences.

Example: He became very quiet and often stared out of the window in class.

Watch out: How his classmates treat him belongs to the next question, not this one.

layanan rakan = 别人的态度

Soalan dua markah ini memerlukan dua isi. Fikirkan pandangan rakan sekelas terhadap Jùnjié selepas dia berubah, dan apa yang mereka lakukan kerana pandangan itu. Kedua-dua isi berada pada hujung perenggan pertama, jadi tulis kedua-duanya dalam satu ayat.

Contoh: Rakan-rakan menganggap dia pelik, lalu mereka berhenti bermain dengannya.

Awas: Jangan tulis layanan rakan selepas dia berubah menjadi baik; itu bahagian kemudian.

how others treat him = 别人的态度

This two-mark question needs two points. Think about what the classmates thought of Junjie after he changed, and what they did because of it. Both points sit at the end of the first paragraph, so put them together in one sentence.

Example: His classmates found him strange, so they stopped playing with him.

Watch out: Do not describe how they treated him after he improved; that comes later.

tindakan guru = 老师的举动

Cari semua tindakan Cikgu Lín dalam perenggan kedua dan ketiga. Dia memberi sesuatu, mengucapkan kata-kata, dan kemudian melakukan sesuatu dengan lukisan Jùnjié. Setiap tindakan bernilai satu markah, jadi pastikan ketiga-tiganya ditulis.

Contoh: Cikgu memberikan sekotak krayon lama yang pernah dipakainya semasa kecil.

Awas: Jawapan yang hanya menyebut krayon akan kehilangan dua markah.

the teacher’s actions = 老师的举动

Find every action of Ms Lin in the second and third paragraphs. She gives something, says something encouraging, and later does something with Junjie’s drawing. Each action is one mark, so make sure all three are included.

Example: The teacher gives him a box of old crayons she used when she was a child.

Watch out: An answer that mentions only the crayons will lose two marks.

soalan KBAT = 推理题

Jawapan tidak tertulis terus dalam petikan; anda perlu membuat kesimpulan. Fikirkan keadaan Jùnjié ketika itu: sedih, tiada sesiapa mendekatinya. Kemudian fikirkan apa yang dirasainya apabila seorang guru mempercayainya dan memuji hasil kerjanya di hadapan kelas.

Contoh: Kepercayaan guru membuat dia merasa dirinya masih berharga.

Awas: Gunakan kata hubung kerana dan oleh itu supaya sebab dan akibat jelas.

higher-order question = 推理题

The answer is not written directly in the passage, so you must infer it. Think about Junjie’s situation at that time: sad, with nobody coming near him. Then think about how he felt when a teacher trusted him and praised his work in front of the class.

Example: The teacher’s trust made him feel he still mattered.

Watch out: Use because and therefore so that the cause and effect are clear.

pengajaran = 启示

Soalan empat markah ini meminta pengajaran cerita dan bagaimana anda akan menggunakannya. Nyatakan dahulu apa yang anda pelajari tentang kuasa galakan dan kepercayaan, kemudian kaitkan dengan kehidupan anda sendiri, contohnya cara melayan rakan yang sedang menghadapi masalah.

Contoh: Saya akan menegur rakan yang pendiam dan mengajaknya bermain bersama.

Awas: Jawapan yang hanya menulis kita mesti baik hati terlalu umum.

lesson learnt = 启示

This four-mark question asks for the lesson of the story and how you will use it. First say what you learnt about the power of encouragement and trust, then link it to your own life, for example how you would treat a classmate who is going through a hard time.

Example: I will talk to a quiet classmate and invite him to join our games.

Watch out: Writing only that we must be kind is too general.

karangan berpandu = 供料作文

Peta minda memberi lima cara menjaga kesihatan dan kelima-limanya mesti disebut. Mulakan dengan ayat pengenalan, kemudian kembangkan setiap cara dengan sedikit penjelasan. Gunakan perkataan penghubung seperti pertama, selain itu dan akhir sekali supaya perenggan mengalir dengan lancar.

Contoh: Pertama, kita perlu makan makanan seimbang dan kurangkan minuman manis.

Awas: Kira semula isi sebelum selesai; tertinggal satu cara akan kehilangan markah.

guided writing = 供料作文

The mind map gives five ways to stay healthy, and all five must be included. Start with an introductory sentence, then expand each way with a little explanation. Use linking words such as first, besides and finally so that the paragraph flows smoothly.

Example: First, we should eat a balanced diet and cut down on sweet drinks.

Watch out: Count your points before you finish; leaving one out costs marks.

melengkapkan karangan = 续写作文

Ayat pertama karangan sudah diberi; sambung karangan itu hingga lengkap. Perenggan pertama menerangkan pelajaran apa dan di mana ia berlaku. Perenggan tengah menceritakan peristiwa menarik dengan butiran yang jelas, seperti apa yang dilihat dan dilakukan. Perenggan akhir menyatakan perasaan atau pengajaran.

Contoh: Kami menangkap berudu di kolam ekologi dan melihatnya di bawah kanta pembesar.

Awas: Karangan mesti bermula dengan ayat yang diberi, jangan tukar ayat itu.

continuing an essay = 续写作文

The first sentence of the essay is given, so continue it to the end. The first paragraph says what the lesson was and where it took place. The middle paragraphs tell the interesting events with clear details of what you saw and did. The last paragraph gives your feelings or what you learnt.

Example: We caught tadpoles at the eco-pond and looked at them under a magnifying glass.

Watch out: Your essay must begin with the given sentence; do not change it.
