The day I was sick

It was just a light rain when school was over. Despite feeling cold, I decided to
continue my journey home. Unfortunately, as I reached home, it started raining
heavily. When I was going to bed, I felt tired and weak, so my mother gave me
some fever medicine.

The next day, I was not getting any better so my mother brought me to the
hospital. The doctor said I fell sick from the rain and gave me flu tablets and some
candies to make me feel better. I was also advised to drink more water and eat fresh
fruits. My mother also suggested that I should get enough rest and eat some
vitamins.

When we reached home, I felt so weak that my mother had to carry my meals
and medicine to my bed. For lunch, my mother made me a delicious chicken soup.
After eating the healthy meal, I went to sleep. Later, she also cooked my favourite
chicken curry but I was not up to it.

In the evening, Sari came to my house with a fruit basket. She mentioned that
Dira sent her regards as she could not come to see me. However, they promised me
a bar of chocolate when we meet later. They also told me some funny things that
happened in school to make me laugh.

That night, I felt better and could not wait to go to school.

PART 4
You should spend about 20 minutes in this part.

Read the text and answer the questions that follow.

Choose no more than five words and/or a number from the text for each answer.

Giving back

Sam came from a poor family. His parents had a hard time feeding the family
because he had four younger brothers. Although Sam felt tired after school, he
decided to help his parents put food on the table.

He wanted to do part-time jobs. At first, his friend suggested that he clear the
neighbours' lawns but he did not have any tools. After much thought, he washed
cars instead. He gave most of the money he earned to his parents and saved the rest
to start his own business.

He began by selling packs of banana chips through some local supermarkets.

However, his banana chip business failed when he could not get enough banana
supply. Then, Sam started an ice cream business. Over the years, he has had five
shops in town. His banana chip business failed when he could not get enough
bananas.

He never forgot the difficulties he faced as a teenager. He wanted to help other

teenagers. Sam started a free skill training programme for teenagers who needed
help. He did not just want to give them financial help; he wanted them to be
independent. He knew how hard it was to start from nothing. Therefore, the
training programme might help them start a business in the future.

Thanks to Sam's help, many young people gained knowledge and experience
from the programme. They went on and gave back to society when they were able
to, just as Sam did.

The story about Sam teaches us to dream big. No matter what your background
is, if you work hard, you can achieve something in life. It is also important to
remember where you came from when you are already successful.
