APPENDIX 4
Listening audio texts
Speaker A: I will only be sitting for my SPM examination next year but my parents are already
putting a lot of pressure on me to do well in the exam. They told me that I must do
just as well as my elder sister who scored 9As in her SPM two years ago. They have
arranged so many tuition classes for me. Sometimes, I have to go from one class to
another without any break. To ensure that I attend all of them, my mother shuttles me
from one Centre to the next. I know they mean well, but sometimes I get too tired that
I can hardly concentrate on the lesson being taught. I wish they are not so demanding
and give me some breathing space. I have contemplated talking to my parents and
telling them that I dont need so much tuition and that they should give me some time
to go out with my friends. I do not wish to bury myself under piles of books every
day. They get very annoyed with me if I spend some time on recreation. But then
again, if they continue to put pressure on me, I think I might suffer from a nervous
breakdown. What should I do?
Speaker B: I am very unhappy with my physique. I am very thin so some people call me a
walking skeleton. This is cruel. They dont know how much it hurts to be tagged as
such. It isnt my fault that I am thin. I have tried ways to put on weight but all my
efforts have come to nothing. Despite having begun a high protein diet and indulging
in food that is rich in fat, I have yet to see any significant increase in my weight. I
have heard of a new drug that helps people like me to gain weight. It claims to have
worked wonders for anorexics and bulimics but that drug is very expensive and
should be taken after medical advice. I have not spoken to my parents about using it.
My other worry is its cost. Im not sure if they can afford to put aside a few hundred
ringgits for me. Should I speak to them?
Speaker C: I am 15 years old and the only child. I simply cannot live with my parents any more.
My parents are always quarrelling, and this has been going on for months. Each time
they yell at each other, divorce always comes up and that has affected my life and
my studies. Im also the target of their quarrels. They always find fault with me and
stop me from meeting my friends. This frustrates me. They keep telling me that they
are doing this for my own good. I know they care for me but sometimes I really feel
lonely and miserable.
