MUET CEFR READING PAPER WORKSHEET PART 2 AND 3

Part 2

Read an email from a university lecturer.


Answer questions 5 to 9 based on the email.

To: learners@university.my
From : Faizal@university.my
Subject: A sample Job Application email

Dear students,

I have attached a sample Job Application email write up. Do read and refer as you need to
construct your very own Job Application email as a part of your assignment task.

A Sample Job Application Email:

“I am interested in this job because I am currently looking for an opportunity to use the skills I
learnt in my university. I have recently completed a 23-week part-time Accounting course (Basic
Level 2 Certificate).  The course covered book-keeping, recording income and receipts and basic
costing. We used a wide range of computer packages, and I picked up the Accounting skills easily. I
was able to work alone with very little extra help. I passed the course with merit. I believe my
success was due to my thorough work, my numeracy skills and my attention to detail. During the
course, I had experience of working to deadlines and working under pressure.  Although this was
sometimes stressful, I always completed my work on time.
Unfortunately, the course did not include a work placement, so I have not practised my skills in a
business setting, and I am now looking for an opportunity to do so.  I am particularly looking for a
job in a small company such as yours, as I believe I will be able to interact with a wider range of
people, and as a result, learn more skills.  I would like to progress within a company and gain more
responsibilities over the years.
Although I do not have work experience in Finance field, I have experience in working in an office
environment.  Before starting the Accounting course, I worked for 11 months in a recruitment
office as a receptionist. My duties involved meeting and greeting clients and visitors, taking phone
calls, audio and copy typing and checking stock. I also had to keep the petty cash and mail records.  
Through this work, I developed my verbal and written communication skills. I had to speak English
confidently to strangers and deliver clear messages.  I enjoyed working in a team environment.  I
believe the office appreciated my friendly manner and efficient work.”

If you have any questions about the task, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.Leave your
questions in the QA box . Open only for weekdays. Good luck in completing your assignment.

Kind regards,
Jamiliah Kasim

Part 3
Read an extract from a novel.
Answer questions 10 to 14 based on the extract.

Monday
As I woke up, I don’t know if what I remember is what happened or just how I imagine it happened
now I’m old enough to tell stories. I’ve read about this thing called childhood amnesia.

It means we can’t remember anything from when we were really small because before three years
old we haven’t practised the skill of remembering enough to be able to do it very well. That’s the
theory, but I’m not convinced. I have one memory from that time. It never changes, and if I wanted
to make up memories, wouldn’t they be good ones? Wouldn’t all my childhood stories have happy
endings?

Tuesday

I woke up crying. I could hear angry voices downstairs and thunder outside. I got up and stumbled
on to the landing. A white gate was attached to the newel post to stop me tumbling down the
stairs. I couldn’t figure out how to open it, no matter how hard I tried. I wasn’t wearing socks. My
feet were cold. I carried a white blanket that dragged across the floor.

Two figures stood by the front door under a sprig of mistletoe, their faces in shadow. I whimpered.
Nana looked up. ‘Back to bed, pet,’ she said. ‘Go on now.’ ‘Can’t sleep,’ I said. Nana nodded. ‘I
know. I could never sleep before Christmas Day either.’ I shook my head. It was nothing to do with
Christmas. I just didn’t want to go back to bed. The thunder sounded like it might blast through my
bedroom window. And why was everyone shouting? I started to cry again. I wanted the person in
the green coat next to Nana to turn around because although I could tell from her long hair and
narrow waist she was a woman, I couldn’t see her face.

Mummy,’ I whispered. ‘Mummy’s gone, pet,’ Nana said. She climbed the stairs, opened the gate at
the top and lifted me into her arms. She was shaking. Her eyes were wet.

‘It’s you and me now. You and me, OK?’ ‘Mummy,’ I repeated.

‘Let’s go to bed,’ Nana said. ‘And in the morning we’ll see what Santa brought you.’ But I didn’t
care about Santa’s presents. All I could think about was what had been taken away.
