Speaking Test Part 2

Talk about a holiday you had recently. You should say:

– Where did you go?

– Who did you go with?
– How was it?
– Is it important to have a holiday? Why/Why not?

I am going to share a holiday trip that I recently had. To begin with, my parents decided to bring me over to one of
the tourist spots in Malaysia – Melaka as they know that I am a history enthusiast! Frankly speaking, I was so excited
as we went to a couple of places including Jonker Street, A Famosa and Christ Church Melaka. Personally, I loved this
trip incredibly. One thing that amazed me is that the different building structures in this city recorded the journey on
how our ancestors fought for independence!

Certainly, taking a holiday is important. Without a doubt, it is necessary to take a break every now and then to help
you unwind and recharge your batteries. Additionally, traveling to different destinations can be a fantastic experience
that provides new perspectives and experiences that cannot be learned from books.

Describe a wild animal.

You should say:

– where the animal lives
– what it looks like
– how it behaves
– is this animal special? (Why/ Why not)?

The panda is something I’d like to talk about. Pandas are native to central China and can be found in the mountainous
forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces. They are easily recognise by their distinctive black and white fur,
with black fur around their eyes, ears, and legs, and white fur on their body and face. They have a round face and a
large body, which makes them look like they are always smiling.

Pandas are generally solitary animals. They are shy and tend to avoid contact with humans, but they are active during
the day and can be seen foraging for food. Pandas are beloved by people all over the world for their distinctive black
and white fur, and their playful personalities. They are considered special because of their population declining due
to habitat loss and low reproductive rates. They only eat certain kinds of bamboo.

Talk about your neighbour. You should say:

– Who is your neighbour?

– How long has he/she been your neighbour?
– What sort of person this neighbour is?
– Is it important to have a neighbour? Why/Why not?

Let’s chat about my next-door neighbour.

My neighbour is a friendly middle-aged couple. They have been my neighbours for the past 5 years since I moved into
this house. My neighbour is a very warm and friendly person. They are both retired and enjoy spending their time
gardening, spending time with their grandchildren, and interacting with their neighbours. They are kind-hearted
individuals with a great sense of humour and a positive outlook on life. I feel lucky to have them as my neighbours.

Having a good neighbour can be important for various reasons. A neighbour can provide a sense of community and
security, and can be a valuable source of support in times of need. On the other hand, a difficult neighbour can lead
to tensions and disputes, making the home environment less enjoyable. In conclusion, it is important to have a good
relationship with one’s neighbours, as it can greatly enhance the quality of life in the neighbourhood.
Describe your experience eating out.

– how often you eat out? – who you usually eat out with?
– if you enjoy eating out (why/why not?)
– why some people prefer to eat out?

Eating out is a frequent activity for me. I usually eat out once or twice a week, as it provides a break from cooking
and allows me to try different restaurants and cuisines. I usually dine out with friends or family, as we enjoy trying
new places and sharing a meal together.

I personally enjoy eating out as it gives me a chance to try new foods and have a different dining experience. The
social aspect of eating out is also enjoyable, as it’s a great opportunity to catch up with friends or family. Some
people prefer eating out because it provides convenience and ease. It eliminates the need for cooking and cleaning,
freeing up time for other activities. Additionally, eating out offers the opportunity to try new foods and dining
experiences, making it a fun and enjoyable activity.

For those who live alone or do not have the time or resources to cook at home, eating out is a convenient solution.
Whether for convenience or enjoyment, eating out can be a great way to enjoy a meal.

Describe your experience in a performance.

– where it was – what you did there

– if you had enjoyed yourself (why/why not?)
– do you think people should watch live performance?

I recently attended a musical theatre performance at my school. The atmosphere was electric, with students and
teachers alike buzzing with excitement. The stage was set with intricate details and the lighting was perfectly
arranged to enhance the overall effect. The musical was about a group of students who band together to save their
school from closing down.

I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. The singing and dancing were fantastic and the storyline was engaging and
well executed. The actors did a great job of bringing the characters to life, and I found myself invested in their journey
throughout the show. The live music accompaniment also added to the overall energy of the performance, making it
even more enjoyable.

I absolutely think people should watch live performances. There’s something special about being in the same room
as the performers, feeling the energy of the audience and being fully immersed in the experience. It’s a unique and
unforgettable experience that can’t be replicated through watching a movie or a recorded performance.

Describe your experience of an interesting holiday

– where you went

– what you did there
– if you had enjoyed yourself (why/why not?
– how one can plan a successful holiday

I recently went on a holiday to Bali, Indonesia and it was an amazing experience. I spent my time exploring the local
temples, beaches, and participating in water sports like surfing and snorkelling. The scenery was breathtaking and
the local culture was rich and fascinating. I loved trying new foods and meeting new people.

To have a successful holiday, one should research their destination and interests to make the most of their time.
Budget and accommodation are also important factors to consider. Being flexible and open to new experiences can
lead to making lasting memories.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Bali, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great holiday. The
hospitality of the local people was fantastic and they went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time.
Overall, my holiday was a memorable experience filled with relaxation, exploration, and creating new memories.
A sport you would like to try.

– what sport it is – where you would do it

– if it would be easy or difficult
– why you want to learn it

I would like to try rock climbing as a sport. I’ve always been interested in it, and I think it would be a great way to
challenge myself both physically and mentally. I would like to try it at a climbing gym or an indoor climbing wall, as
they offer a safe and controlled environment for beginners like myself to learn and practice.

I think rock climbing would be both challenging and rewarding. The physical aspect of climbing and maintaining
balance on the wall would be difficult, but with practice and perseverance, I am confident I could improve. The
mental aspect of planning each move and staying focused is also an exciting challenge that I am looking forward to.

I want to learn rock climbing because it is a unique and exciting sport that offers a great workout and a sense of
accomplishment. I also think it would be a great opportunity to push myself out of my comfort zone and try
something new. Overall, I believe that rock climbing would be a fantastic and fulfilling sport to try, and I can’t wait to
give it a try.

Talk about your favourite band.

– how you found out about them?

– what kind of music do they play?
– when you usually listen to their songs?
– why you like them so much?

Bon Jovi is my favourite band. I first heard their music when I was in middle school, and I was immediately drawn to
their catchy rock anthems and upbeat energy. Bon Jovi is known for playing rock music and their sound is both
timeless and energetic.

I usually listen to Bon Jovi when I’m looking for something uplifting and energetic. Their music is characterized by
powerful and catchy guitar riffs, soaring vocals, and memorable hooks that always get stuck in my head. I find that
their music is the perfect soundtrack for road trips, workout sessions, and any other activity that requires a boost of
energy and positivity.

I like Bon Jovi so much because they have been a constant source of inspiration and motivation throughout my life.
Their music has the ability to bring people together and evoke feelings of hope, joy, and optimism, and it has been a
source of comfort and positivity for me in times of both happiness and sadness.

A movie that had a strong impact on you.

– what movie it was

– when you watched the movie
– how it influenced you
– if you liked it and why

“Star Wars” is a movie that had a strong impact on me. I first watched it when I was a child and I remember being
completely fascinated by the epic story and memorable characters. The imaginative world and special effects left a
lasting impression on me.

What really stood out to me was the themes of hope and the fight against oppression, which have resonated with me
throughout my life. The characters, particularly the rebels, showed me the importance of standing up for what’s right
even in the face of insurmountable odds. The film also taught me that even the most ordinary people can make a
difference and change the world.
In terms of enjoyment, I definitely loved the film. The blend of science fiction, action, and adventure made for an
unforgettable experience. The iconic score and memorable quotes only added to the impact it had on me.

A journey you enjoyed.

– where you went – how you travelled

– why you went on that journey
– why you remember that journey so well.

I recently went on a journey to visit my grandparents who live in a small town near Alor Setar. I travelled by car and
the journey took about 4 hours from my hometown. I went on this journey because I wanted to spend some quality
time with my grandparents and also to escape the city life for a while.

The visit to my grandparents was really enjoyable and I will never forget it. Firstly, the small town was peaceful and
surrounded by beautiful greenery which was a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the city. Secondly, my
grandparents were overjoyed to see me and they cooked all of my favourite foods which was really touching.

Lastly, we went on a walk in the local park and I got to see how the people in the small town live. They were friendly
and welcomed me with open arms. I was also able to try some local foods which I had never tried before and they
were delicious.

Public Transport in Malaysia.

– what are the public transports available

– when do you use public transport?
– why you use public transport?
– should people be encouraged to use public transport? (why/why not?)

As a student in Malaysia, I have access to a variety of public transportation options, including buses and the Light Rail
Transit (LRT) system. I usually use public transport when I need to go to school or meet friends. Using public transport
is convenient and cost-effective compared to driving or taking private taxis. It saves me time and money, and I don’t
have to worry about finding parking or navigating busy traffic.

In my opinion, people should definitely be encouraged to use public transport. It is an environmentally friendly way
to travel and reduces traffic congestion, making it easier for everyone on the road. Additionally, using public
transport can help to reduce air pollution and create more lively cities.

However, the availability and quality of public transport can vary greatly in Malaysia, and some areas may not have
good access to the LRT or other forms of transportation. For this reason, it is important for the government to invest
in improving public transportation and making it accessible to everyone, so that people can rely on it as a convenient
and sustainable way to travel.

A memorable day

– how the day started

– how things went right/wrong
– who was around you
– why it was such a marvellous day

My graduation day was a memorable day that I will never forget. The day started with a feeling of excitement and
nerves as I prepared to walk across the stage and receive my high school certificate. I woke up early, got dressed in
my graduation gown and cap, and headed to the ceremony with my family.

As I walked across the stage, I felt a rush of emotions. All of my hard work and dedication had paid off and I was now
officially a college graduate. It was a proud moment for me and my family, who were all in attendance to support me.
After the ceremony, I took a lot of photos with my family and friends, capturing the special moment.
The rest of the day went smoothly, with a celebratory lunch with my family and a night out with my friends. It was a
day filled with happiness, laughter, and memories that I will cherish forever.

A famous person I admire.

– who the person is?

– how you knew about this person?
– why would you admire the person?
– if being famous changes a person’s way of living

A famous person I admire is Elon Musk. I first learned about him through his work with PayPal, and then became
interested in his other ventures such as Tesla Motors and SpaceX.

I admire Elon Musk because of his visionary thinking. Elon Musk has a unique ability to think about the future in a
way that is both ambitious and practical. He has a vision for a better world and is not afraid to pursue it, even if it
seems impossible to others.

Being famous can certainly change a person’s way of living, especially if they are as high-profile as Elon Musk. It can
bring both positive and negative attention, and it can be challenging to maintain privacy and lead a normal life.
However, it can also provide opportunities for influence and impact that might not otherwise be available.

Talk about a pet that you or someone you know had.

– What kind of pet it was?

– It is a popular type of pet?
– What kind of care it needed?
– What you liked or disliked about the pet?

I would like to talk about a dog. Dogs are a popular type of pet among many people due to their loyal and the ability
to provide comfort and security. They are highly trainable and can perform a variety of tasks.

However, owning a dog requires a significant amount of time and effort. Dogs need to be fed, exercised, groomed,
and trained regularly. They also need plenty of love and attention to stay happy and healthy.

Personally, I think dogs are amazing pets. I love their loyalty and affectionate nature, as well as their ability to
become a entertaining companion. They are always there to offer a comforting presence and they can bring so much
joy to people’s lives.

Talk about a festival you had celebrated recently.

– What festival it was?

– how you celebrated it?
– if you enjoyed yourself (why/why not?)
– why celebrating festivals is important in Malaysia?

Recently, I celebrate the Chinese New Year. It is an important festival celebrated by millions of people around the
world, particularly in China and other Asian countries.

I celebrated the Chinese New Year with my family by decorating our home with red and gold decorations, lighting
firecrackers, and received red envelopes from my parents. We also visited relatives and friends, and enjoyed delicious
traditional food.

I enjoyed celebrating the Chinese New Year. The atmosphere was bright and festive, and the festival is full of joy and
excitement. It is a time for people to come together, have fun, and celebrate the cultural traditions.

Celebrating festivals is important in Malaysia because it brings people together. Festivals help to strengthen the
bonds between friends and families. They also provide a way for people to connect with others who share similar
beliefs and values. Celebrating festivals is a way to celebrate cultural traditions and heritage, and to pass them down
to future generations.

Talk about a memorable holiday you had at a local destination.

– Where you went for that holiday – What you did then
– why the holiday was so memorable – Do you think it is good for people to go on holiday at a local destination?

I recently went on a holiday to Langkawi, a beautiful island which is known for its stunning beaches and unique green
jungles.

During my holiday, I spent my days exploring the island and experiencing its unique culture. I visited a number of
beautiful beaches, including Tanjung Rhu and Pantai Cenang, and took a boat tour of the famous Langkawi Sky
Bridge.

The holiday was so memorable because of the breathtaking natural beauty of Langkawi, as well as its rich cultural
heritage. I was struck by the peacefulness of the island, which provided a break from the study life.

In my opinion, it is a good idea for people to go on holiday at a local destination because it allows them to explore
the beauty and culture of their own country. By visiting local destinations, people can learn more about their own
history and heritage, and develop a deeper appreciation for the unique qualities of their own culture. Additionally,
visiting local destinations helps to support the local economy and can contribute to sustainable tourism
development.

Talk about e-wallet.

– what is e-wallet? – why it is better than cash?

– Would you like to use e-wallet? [why/why not?] – why people in Malaysia should use them wisely?

E-wallet is a digital wallet that allows users to store and manage their money electronically. E-wallets can be used to
make purchases, pay bills, and transfer money to other people instantly.

E-wallets are better than cash because they offer added convenience and security. E-wallets can be used from
anywhere with an internet connection, and they offer added security features such as fraud protection. Besides that,
e-wallets also offer rewards and discounts for using the service.

I would definitely like to use an e-wallet because of their convenience. E-wallets make it easy to manage my finances
and make purchases. I also enjoy the rewards from e-wallets.

People in Malaysia should use e-wallets wisely because it is important to be mindful of their spending and to manage
their finances responsibly. E-wallets can be a useful tool for managing money, but it is important to be aware of the
potential risks, such as fraud and overspending.

Talk about a new invention

– what is the invention you like to make? – why do you want to make it?
– how it can help you – why people need modern invention at home?

I would like to create a smart home assistant device that makes household more convenient. This device can control
lights, fan, and other household appliances.

The purpose of this invention would be to make household tasks more efficient and convenient, and to help people
save time and effort.

The smart home assistant can help me in several ways. For example, instead of manually turn on the lights, I could
simply give a voice command. When I leave the room, it could automatically turn off the lights. This would help me
save money on utility bills.
People need modern inventions like this because they make daily tasks easier and save time. The modern technology
is important to help us manage our time and resources more effectively. It would also be able to learn your habits
and adjust to your needs, making your life easier.

A best Birthday Present given to you.

– what the present was? – who gave you the present?

– why it was special? – what happened to it?

The best birthday present I ever received is a laptop. The laptop was given to me by my parents who wanted to
support my academic goals. They understand how important it is to have a good computer and wanted to help me
achieve my dreams.

As a student, having a reliable and powerful computer is crucial for my academic success. With this laptop, I can
complete school assignments, research online, and even engage in creative pursuits like photography and music
production. It has made my life so much easier and I’m grateful to have received it.

The laptop is still in my possession and it is in great condition. I take good care of it and use it regularly for various
tasks and activities. The laptop has been a reliable companion and I look forward to using it for many years to come.
It truly was the best birthday present I’ve ever received!

A family celebration

– What the event was? – What you did there?

– If you enjoyed yourself (why/why not)?
– Why family celebrations are important?

I recently attended a family celebration for my cousin’s wedding. During the event, I had the opportunity to catch up
with relatives I hadn’t seen in a while. The highlight of the event for me was watching my cousin and her partner
exchange the ring and become husband and wife. It was a heartwarming moment and I was so happy for them.

I certainly enjoyed myself at the celebration. Spending time with family is always a special experience and being a
part of such an important milestone in my cousin’s life made it even more memorable. The event was held at a
beautiful venue and it was filled with joy and laughter.

Family celebrations are important because they bring people together and create a sense of community. They
provide an opportunity for families to bond and make new memories, which can last a lifetime. This helps to
strengthen relationships and reinforces the sense of belonging within a family.

The Best Friend in Your Life.

– What your best friend looks like?

– How you met?
– What you have in common?
– What activities you do together?

My best friend is someone who is always there for me and supports me. My best friend has a warm smile, bright eyes
and a kind heart. My best friend and I met in high school. We were both in the same class and quickly became friends
because of our shared interests in music and sports. I remember being struck by her warm smile and friendly
personality.

We started hanging out more and more, and soon we discovered we had a lot in common. We both loved exploring
new places, trying new things and helping others. We also had a shared passion for music and sports, and we would
spend hours discussing our favourite bands and athletes.
We have many things in common, such as a love for adventure and trying new things. We also share a passion for
helping others and giving back to our community. We both believe in the importance of hard work and dedication to
achieve our goals.

An indoor game I like

– what this game is?

– how this game is played
– why do you enjoy this game
– If you think it is important for people to play indoor games (why / why not?)

One indoor game that I really like is chess. Chess is a two-player strategy board game that is played on a checkered
gameboard.

Each player starts with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The
objective of the game is to checkmate your opponent’s king, which means the king is in a position to be captured and
there is no way to move the king out.

I enjoy playing chess because it requires a lot of critical thinking and strategy. I like trying to think ahead and
anticipate my opponent’s moves, and it’s very satisfying when I successfully execute a well-planned attack.

I do think it is important for people to play indoor games like chess. Playing indoor games is a great way to exercise
your brain and improve your problem-solving skills. It’s also a fun and social activity that can be enjoyed with family
and friends.

An outdoor game I like

– what this game is – how this game is played

– why do you enjoy this game
– If you think it is important for people to play outdoor games [why / why not]

One of my favourite outdoor games is soccer. It is a sport that is played by two teams with eleven players on each
side. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team by kicking the ball into the opposing
team’s goal post.

I enjoy playing soccer because it is a fast-paced and physically demanding sport that requires teamwork and
communication. It also allows me to stay active and improve my physical fitness.

I believe that playing outdoor games is important because it allows people to stay physically active and improve their
overall health. Outdoor games also provide a fun way for people to socialize and bond with others. Moreover, playing
sports outdoors can help improve mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety.

The local food you like the most.

– what is the food – where do you get the food

– why do you like this food
– If you think it is alright to love western food more than the local food

My favourite local food is Nasi Lemak. Nasi Lemak is a popular dish in Malaysia that is considered to be the country’s
national dish. It consists of rice cooked in coconut milk, served with a variety of accompaniments such as fried
anchovies, peanuts, boiled eggs, and a spicy sambal sauce. I usually get my nasi lemak from the food court near my
house, where it is sold at affordable prices.
I love nasi lemak because of its delicious taste and the various textures and flavours it offers. The fragrant coconut
milk-infused rice is paired perfectly with the crunchy peanuts, savoury anchovies, and spicy sambal sauce, making for
a truly satisfying meal.

I don’t think it is alright to love western food more than local food. Every country has its own unique cuisine that is
reflective of its culture and history, and it is important to appreciate and respect these foods. We should preserve our
local cuisine and traditions, as it is a part of our cultural heritage.

My favourite international artist.

– who is the artist? – why do you like him/her?

– what does your artist do?
– If you think it is important for people to have artist as a role model.

My favourite international artist is Ed Sheeran. I like Ed Sheeran because of his unique voice and the way he writes
his own lyrics. I love listening to his songs, as they are very relatable and have meaningful lyrics.

Ed Sheeran is a singer-songwriter and musician from England. He writes and performs music that is relatable to many
people. He is known for his storytelling in his songs and for his ability to convey emotion through his music. He has
released several albums that have been commercially successful.

I think it is important for people to have artists as role models because they can inspire others to pursue their own
passions and dreams. Artists can also spread positive messages and bring people together through their music. In
today’s world, music has a great impact on people’s lives, and having a good role model can help individuals to strive
for their goals and make a positive impact on the world.

A useful gadget that I own.

– what this gadget is?

– what its functions are?
– why you think it is useful?
– if you think everyone needs to have one too (why/why not?)

A useful gadget that I like is my smartphone. This gadget has many functions such as making phone calls, sending
texts and emails, taking pictures and videos, accessing the internet, and using various apps for entertainment and
productivity.

I find it useful because it acts as a one-stop-shop for all my communication and information needs. With just one
device, I can stay connected with my friends and family, stay updated with news and events, and have access to
various resources and tools.

I think everyone should have smartphone because it can make our daily lives easier and more efficient. Having access
to the latest technology can help us stay organized, stay connected with our loved ones, and have access to
information at our fingertips. Having a smartphone also save us time and increase our productivity, allowing us to
complete tasks more efficiently.

A colourful event you went.

– what the event was – what you did there

– if you have enjoyed yourself (why/why not)
– how one can plan a successful event

Last week, I participate a fun run sport day organised in my school.

I participated in the event and ran the 3-kilometer course that went through the school’s campus. There were other
sports activities like obstacle courses and relay races that were held simultaneously. It was really enjoyable to be part
of the event and see everyone having a great time.

I enjoyed myself a lot because it was a perfect opportunity to get some exercise and spend time with my friends and
classmates. The event was also well-organized, with clear signage and plenty of volunteers on hand to help out. The
weather was also perfect for an outdoor activity, with a warm sun and a light breeze.

It is important to have a clear goal in mind and to involve as many people as possible in a successful event. You also
need to make sure that the event is well-organized, with clear instructions and plenty of volunteers on hand to help.

A place you can go and learn

– where the place is?

– how you know about the place?
– what kind of people go there?
– why people like to go there?

The place I like to go and learn is the library. I know about the library because my school often takes us there for
research projects and reading sessions.

The library is a popular place for students, researchers, and people who love to read and learn. It is a peaceful and
quiet environment, perfect for studying and focusing on your work. They have a wide range of books and resources
available, from fiction to non-fiction, as well as online resources such as academic journals and e-books.

People like to go to the library because it is a quiet and peaceful environment, perfect for studying and reading. They
also have a wide range of books and resources available, so you can always find something that interests you.
Additionally, the librarians are always there to help you if you need it.

Talk about a useful advice you received recently.

– when this happened?

– what the advice was?
– how you felt about the advice?
– If you think it is important for people to have useful advice from others?

Recently, I received a useful advice from my teacher. My teacher noticed that I was struggling with a particular
subject, so she took some time after class to talk to me.

The advice she gave me was to prioritize my studies and to focus on my weaknesses. She told me that I need to
spend more time on the subjects I find challenging. She also encouraged me to seek help from her or other teachers
if I need it.

I felt very grateful for the advice. Before that, I didn’t realize the importance of focusing on my weaknesses. I thought
that spending more time on my strong subjects would help me do well in exams. But my teacher’s advice made me
realize that it’s crucial to focus on my weaker areas if I want to achieve my goals.

I think it’s important to take advice from people who have more experience and knowledge, as they can help us see
things from a different perspective and guide us towards success.

A time of the day that you like

– what time of the day it is

– what you are doing at that time
– who you are with
– why you like it
The time of day I like the most is the evening, around 6 pm. During this time, I like to go for a jog in the park near my
house and watch the sunset. I find that the warm and glow of the sunset, combined with the peaceful atmosphere of
the park, creates a truly special moment of the day.

I usually go for a jog together with my friends. Jogging and watching the sunset with my friends is one of my favourite
ways to relieve stress and stay active.

I love the peace and beauty of the evening as it provides a chance to reflect on my day and appreciate the passage of
time. It’s a time that allows me to take care of both my physical and mental well-being, and I feel refreshed and ready
to enjoy the rest of my day.

Talk about an outing you went with your friends recently.

– where you went to?

– what you did there?
– if you enjoyed yourself there (why/why not?)
– The benefits of having friends in life

Last week, I went to Imago shopping mall in Kota Kinabalu with my friends. At the shopping mall, I watched a movie
entitled, “Spiderman”, with my friends. The movie was awesome and enjoyable. I love watching the main actor
rescuing the heroin every time she gets herself into trouble. After that, we also went shopping. We bought some t-
shirts and pants.

I enjoyed myself in the shopping mall because I could spend some quality time with my friends. Besides, I could
release my stress and be happy with them by doing some entertaining activities like playing bowling.

There are many benefits of having friends. Friends can provide emotional support during both good times and bad.
They can offer a shoulder to cry on when you need it and help you celebrate your victories and accomplishments.
Friendships also provide a sense of social connection and belonging. Having a strong network of friends can help
reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Talk about your future plans.

– what your plans are after the SPM? – reasons for your plans?
– who inspires you to have such plans?
– what you will have to do to fulfil your plans?

My future plan after completing the SPM is to continue my education and pursue a degree in computer science. I am
interested in this field because I love solving problems and working with technology. I wish to pursue a successful
career in this rapidly-growing industry.

I am inspired to have these plans by my parents, who have always encouraged me to pursue my passions and strive
for success. I am also inspired by the many successful tech entrepreneurs who have made a real impact on the world
through their work in the tech industry.

To fulfil my plans, I will need to work hard and be dedicated to my studies. I plan to take challenging courses and
actively participate in extracurricular activities related to computer science. I will also seek out internships and other
opportunities to gain practical experience and build my professional network.

Talk about your favourite sport.

You should say:

– What sport you like – Why it is your favourite
– Whether you prefer to watch or play the sport
– if you would choose sport as a career (why / why not)
The sport I like is badminton. It is my favourite sport because it needs great techniques and team cooperation. This
sport also requires a lot of extensive practice and high concentration during games. Choosing badminton is all about
enjoying the process, keeping me engaged, satisfied, and physically fit.

I prefer to play this sport because the process is so exciting and enjoyable for me. I practice a lot and actively
participate in school tournaments. I believe that playing badminton is more than just a game. It’s a good way to
contribute to my overall health.

Even though I’m passionate about badminton, I don’t plan on pursuing a career in sports. My fitness may not meet
the standards required for a professional athlete. Nevertheless, badminton will remain a beloved hobby, providing a
healthy recreation for my life.

A dream job

You should say:

– What your dream job is
– Why you want this job
– What you will do to achieve it
– If teenagers should be selective in choosing a job in the future (why / why not)

My dream job is to be a photographer. I find this job interesting and challenging, especially because I’ve always been
fascinated by capturing the moment through taking pictures. I am eager to explore the art and skill behind it.

To achieve this dream, I plan to start taking more photos using my phone before investing in a professional camera.
Additionally, I want to enhance my photography skills by taking a course in it. There are a lot of free tutorials on
YouTube where I can learn various photography techniques from professional photographers.

I believe teenagers should be selective in choosing future jobs. It’s crucial to pick something they are passionate
about, so their job doesn’t feel burden or boring. Making thoughtful career choices helps them enjoy their work and
feel more satisfied.

Talk about your favourite subject.

You should say:

– what the subject is
– why you enjoy learning it
– how important the subject is
– how you can master the subject

My favourite subject in school is English, and it has always been enjoyable for me. Learning English is fascinating
because the subject is so interesting, and my English teacher, Miss Wong, plays a significant role in helping me
improve my understanding. She is consistently patient and friendly, and her teaching methods are very engaging.

The importance of this subject cannot be overstated, considering it is a language widely used worldwide. Learning
English allows effective communication with people from different countries. There is also a lot of knowledge written
in English that requires a better language ability to understand.

To master this subject, I try to read English newspapers, novels, and watch English TV shows such as BBC News, which
proves to be highly beneficial. Besides that, I also try to communicate using the English so that I can speak fluently.

Talk about a language you would like to learn.

You should say:

– what the language is – where it is spoken
– why you are interested to learn it
– the importance of learning a new/foreign language
The language I would like to learn is Japanese, the official language of Japan and the primary language spoken by the
majority of the population in the country.

I am interested in learning this language because I often watch Japanese anime. Sometimes, movie platforms don’t
provide subtitles, making it challenging for me to understand the plot. Consequently, I want to learn Japanese so I
can comprehend what the characters are saying even without subtitles.

Learning a foreign language is crucial as it allows us to communicate with foreigners. For instance, when we
encounter foreigners in our country who may not speak English or Malay well, knowing their language enables us to
assist them. Besides that, learning a foreign language also allows us to work in a different country, thereby enriching
our personal career path.

Talk about good food you enjoy.

You should say:

– what food makes you happy?
– why you enjoy the food?
– what special dish you wish to try. Why?
– what benefits students gain by eating good food?

Nasi lemak always brings joy to me as I enjoy eating it. This traditional Malaysian dish holds a special place in my
heart because of its unique combination of fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and the special ‘sambal’ sauce.

As for a special dish I wish to try, i will choose Nyonya dishes. Nyonya cuisine combines Chinese and Malay flavours,
offering a mix of spicy, sweet, and sour flavours that I’m wish to explore.

As a student, consuming good food will brings numerous benefits because it contributes to our overall health. Take
my favourite dish, nasi lemak, for example. Its well-balanced nutrition provides the energy and essential nutrients
necessary for students to prosper in their studies and daily activities.

Talk about a good habit you practise.

You should say:

– What the good habit is
– How you feel doing it
– Why you practise it
– Why it is important for students to have good habits

I maintain the good habit of writing a diary each night before bedtime. As I jot down my daily thoughts and
experiences, I feel relaxation and ease, allowing me to unwind from the day’s activities.

I practice this habit with the purpose of capturing all moments in my life, whether happy or sad. It serves as an
escape from the stress of daily life, and during times of sadness, reading my diary helps me relive those happy
memories.

I strongly encourage students to adopt good habits such as reading or writing. Engaging in such habits positively
influences academic performance and overall well-being. Reading, in particular, enhances vocabulary, critical thinking
skills, and imagination. Good habits contribute to students’ personal growth and giving a positive impact for success
in their future.

Describe the gadget you like the most.

You should say:

– What gadget you use on a daily basis.
– What you use it for.
– How much time you spend on it.
– How it makes your life better.

I use my smartphone on a daily basis, and it’s the gadget I like the most. I use my smartphone for various purposes,
including communication, entertainment, and productivity. I spend a significant amount of time on my smartphone,
probably 5 hours each day.

My smartphone is a crucial gadget that enhances my life. I stay updated with information and news from around the
world every day through my smartphone. Whether I’m working on homework or learning new knowledge, I use my
smartphone to search for relevant materials. Besides that, it’s my primary tool for staying connected with family and
friends, enhancing the efficiency of our communication.

Talk about a disciplinary problem that happened in your school.

You should say:

– What the problem was? – Who were involved?
– The actions taken to solve the problem
– If it is important to have stricter rules in schools (why / why not)

In my school, there was a disciplinary problem involving bullying. Some Form 4 boys targeted a Form 1 student,
pouring water into his school bag and mocking him. This behaviour affected the victim emotionally and created an
unhealthy environment.

To solve the issue, the school took disciplinary actions against the Form 4 boys. The bullies received demerits,
punishments, and warning letters were sent to their parents. The intention is to help them understand that their
actions have a negative impact on the school and can cause emotional distress to other students. Informing their
parents about this issue is crucial, as it allows them to guide their children toward becoming better individuals.

In my opinion, having stricter rules in schools is important. It helps maintain discipline among students and ensures
everyone’s safety. When rules are in place, students are less likely to violate the school’s code of conduct,
contributing to a positive atmosphere for learning.

Talk about an environmental problem in your area.

You should say:

– What the problem is? – The cause of the problem?
– How it affects your daily life?
– How to promote environmental awareness among students?

Air pollution is a serious environmental problem in my living area which negatively impacts on human health. The
cause of air pollution include toxic gases released by factories and vehicles, illegal open burning and forest fires in
Indonesia.

To cope with the issue, I have to wear a mask whenever I go out to reduce the inhalation of toxic gases. Air pollution
will cause breathing difficulties for me due to my respiratory health and allergic condition.

Tackling air pollution requires a lot of effort. School authorities can organize environmental campaigns within schools
to raise awareness among students. Schools can play a crucial role in educating the younger generation about the
importance of protecting the environment and the consequences of air pollution.

Talk about an item you bought online.

You should say:

– What the item was
– Which platform you used to buy it
– Why you prefer to buy it online
– The cons of online shopping

I recently purchased a new pair of shoes from Shopee, an online shopping platform, on November 11th.

I prefer online shopping because it’s sometimes challenging to find the right size and my favorite color in physical
stores. During the November 11th shopping day, online shopping platforms offer significant discounts. Besides that,
the store provides free shipping, free returns, authentic guarantee, and other benefits.

However, online shopping does come with its drawbacks. There’s a potential risk of personal information being
hacked by cybercriminals and posing a threat to our safety. Additionally, there’s a concern about receiving items that
may not match the expectations.

Talk about your memorable holiday at a local destination.

You should say:

– where you went to
– how you travelled there
– what made the holiday memorable
– the benefits of going on a holiday in your country

One of my memorable holidays was a trip to Penang Island last year. I travelled to Penang by train from Kuala Lumpur
Sentral, and the experience was very exciting.

What made this holiday truly memorable was the rich cultural diversity of Penang, recognized by UNESCO as a World
Heritage Site. The historical building in Georgetown combine different cultures and reflecting the multicultural
history. Besides that, the local cuisine, especially the flavourful Laksa, became a highlight of my holiday.

As Malaysians, prioritizing domestic travel is important. Exploring our own country allows us to contribute to the
domestic economy. Moreover, domestic travel offers the advantage of affordable transportation and accommodation
fees, making it a more budget-friendly option. Furthermore, it presents a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the
beauty and culture of our homeland.

Talk about a person you respect most.

You should say:

– Who the person is
– What the person’s profession is
– Why you respect the person
– If it is important to have role models in our life? (why / why not?)

The person I respect the most is my mother. She’s a housewife who serves as the pillar of our family. Not only does
she drive me to school, but she also prepares delicious meals and takes care of our daily lives, making our house feel
like a home.

I respect my mother because she plays a vital role in our family. Without her, many aspects of our routine would be
difficult. Her ability to manage everything with a smile and dedication is truly admirable.

I believe having role models is important in life. My mother serves as my role model. Her courage in facing challenges
and her commitment to our family inspire me. I look up to her as a target, aspiring to be a better person in life, just
like she is. Her influence motivates me to set goals and make efforts to lead to success.
