He Had Such Quiet Eyes
by Bibsy Soenharjo

They were two pools of lies
Layered with thinnest ice
To her, those quiet eyes
Were breathing desolate sighs
Imploring her to be nice
And to render him paradise
If only she’d been wise
And had listened to the advice
Never to compromise

Are You Still Playing The Flute?
by Zurinah Hassan
Are you still playing your flute?
When there is hardly time for our love
I am feeling guilty
To be longing for your song
The melody concealed in the slim hollow of the bamboo
Uncovered by the breath of an artist
Composed by his fingers
Blown by the wind
To the depth of my heart.
Are you still playing your flute?
In the village so quiet and deserted
Amidst the sick rice fields
While here it has become a luxury
To spend time watching the rain
Gazing at the evening rays
Collecting dew drops
Or enjoying the fragrance of flowers.
Are you still playing your flute?
The more it disturbs my conscience
to be thinking of you
in the hazard of you
my younger brothers unemployed and desperate
my people disunited by politics
my friend slaughtered mercilessly
this world is too old and bleeding.

Nature
by HD Carberry
We have neither Summer nor Winter
Neither Autumn nor Spring.
We have instead the days
When the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields-
Magnificently.
The days when the rain beats like bullets on the roofs
And there is no sound but the swish of water in the gullies
And trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds.
Also there are the days when leaves fade from off guango trees
And the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun.
But best of all there are the days when the mango and the
logwood blossom
When the bushes are full of the sound of bees and the scent of
honey,
When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of
air,
When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow stars
And beauty comes suddenly and the rains have gone.

Sample of A Narrative Writing
Write a story with the title : An Unexpected visitor (SPM 2005)
It was comfortably warm in the living room and the fire crackling in the grate bathed the room in gold. He was quite comfortably seated in the old over – stuffed wingchair, a cup of tea at his side and the mornings newspaper on his lap. It was quite understandable then that when the doorbell rang, he groaned in resignation and very reluctantly left his nest.
The doorbell rang again, the person at the door punching the ringer repeatedly as if there was some urgency to the matter of the visit.
“Oh, alright! Hold on, will you? I am coming!” he called irritatedly, hurrying along the hallway. He opened the door, prepared to give whoever was on the other side a good telling off. His words died on his tongue when he saw the small face framed in the all-tag familiar chestnut curls. She smiled tentatively at him and he felt his earlier irritation return and he scowled.
“What are you doing here?”, he demanded stiffly, making no move to allow her to enter his abode. The soft smile on her lips faltered and she reached up to brush her hair behind her ears.
“Well, I ………..” She tapered off and frowned severely at him, ‘I see that you have not learned any manners at all.”
“I do apologise,” he replied just as sneakily, “I was in the bathroom when they were handing out manners and etiquettes.”
“Are you not going to invite me in? It is cold out here, Dravian.
“What are you doing here?” he repeated, blocking the doorway with his bulk and crossing his arms across his chest.
“We will talk about it over tea,” she snapped back and pushed him aside roughly. He scowled at her back as she carefully dusted the snow off her coat and hung it in the closet. She turned and caught his eye. She grinned teasingly at him and lifted an eloquent eyebrow. “The usual then”
His features settled into a neutral expression and he stared back at her silently. She laughed and shook her head and headed for the kitchen. He stood motionless for a moment as a small spark of forgotten longing tugged his heart. He ran a hand distractedly through his dark hair and sighed.
He went to tidy his study, putting away the scattered books and closing the drawer of his desk properly. He smiled when he thought back on her aggravation on his half-open drawers. He glanced at the clock and exited the room, closing the door firmly behind him.
Dravian stirred his drink moodily and they both kept their silence. At last he put aside teaspoon and cleared his throat. “I presume you wanted to see me for something?”
She nursed her drink before answering, “I had quite a shock yesterday, Dravian. I know our marriage has long been over and annulled, but I still have to know; do you really plan on marrying that girl?”
He sat up straighter in his seat. “Marry whom?” he demanded very surprised. As far as he knows he is not engaged to anyone. He did not relish being bagged down by a wife or something similar.
She searched his face, looking surprised, “Heather Biglow, of course!”
“That mindless twist? You have to be joking!”
Cosatte frowned and sipped her Earl Grey again, “This is all very confusing business, Dravian. An attorney visited me last night and told me” She stopped herself. “I had better show you the letter,” she said at last and dug into her purse.
He leaned forward to take the envelope from her and as he did, his fingers brushed hers and it was a disconcerting moment for him. He felt the jolt of electricity run down his spine. He masked his awkwardness by coughing.
Dravian pulled several sheets of paper from within the envelope and began scanning them. His eyes grew steadily wider at each line and at last, he threw the stock onto the table. “An arranged marriage?” he spluttered indignantly, his face red. “I cannot believe it!”
“He did it before, “ she said dryly.
He took a steadily breath. Yes, she was right. His father had done this before. Silently, he cursed the old man’s will. His father had arranged a marriage for him. The terms of the contract was simple; marry the woman Dravian Senior had chosen or lose the estate.
He grabbed the papers again and began riffling through them in desperation. “There has to be something we can do!”
He missed the small smile on Cosette’s lips. “Well, yes. There is one thing…..”.
He turned questioning eyes to her. She pushed back her chair and stood, brushing off the crumbs from her dress before making her way over to him. Gently, she pulled the documents from his trembling fingers. She silently selected a page and handed it to him. Quickly, he read the page. “What?” he asked blankly.
“Dravian, read this line. It says that you have to marry the woman your father chose for you”.
“Yes; Heather Biglow,” he said glumly.
“Her name is not printed here. Think, Dravian,” she emphasised “think”’,
“Your father was an intelligent man and a horribly good schemer. “The woman”, Dravian, not “Heather Biglow”.
He stared at her as comprehension downed. She smiled at him and nodded. His father had caught him in a similar trap before. Dravian was forced to marry. Dravian Senior had chosen his first wife, and it was Cosette.
“I did not think he even liked you .”

Sample of A Report
To : The Principal of SM Dato’ Lela Bendahara
From : Mohd Rahman Isa, Secretary of Students Council
A REPORT ON THE LACK OF INTEREST IN SPORTS AMONG THE STUDENTS OF SMK DATO’ LELA BENDAHARA
I have recently conducted a survey among the students of SMK Dato’ Lela Bendahara. The result of my survey show that among 500 students only 50 would choose sports as their preferred leisure activity during their sports time. That number is only 10% of the students population.
Among the reasons cited by the students is their own attitude towards sports. Many of them assume that playing sports involves getting, hot, dirty and sweaty as well as being occasionally sunburned. Also, the students complained about their lack of time. Many of them commented that this was caused by the longer school hours and also because many-co-curricular society such as uniform bodies, hold extra meetings on weekend.
Not only that, many of the students complained about parental factors. According to them, their parents place an exercise amount of attention on academics. Many of them have stated that it has become an obsession with their parents to make them excellent in academics with their parents sending them for tuition classes, workshops and seminars at every possible opportunity, it has become very difficult for them to make time for leisure, let alone sports.
Other students complained that the school field and sports equipment are not at a reasonable level. Since the school field is the most accessible, the students expect it to be at its level best. However, they have said that the opposite is often true. There is insufficient sports equipment in the school storage room with only two soccer balls. The school’s hockey equipment is also in very bad condition with several broken hockey sticks that have not been replaced. The poor condition of the school fields and the badminton courts have also drawn the ire of students. Many students submitted complaints that the school field is very wet and muddy after it rains while the badminton courts’ floors are heavily damaged.
Due to the overwhelming lack of interest in sports among the students, I have formulated a few suggestions for consideration. Among my suggestions is that the school authorities, such as the Head of Students Affairs, should stress the importance of sports to the students. The message would be have a much greater impact on the students if delivered by a person of authority.
Moreover, the school authorities could hold a dialogue with the parents during the next PTA meeting. During the dialogue, the school authorities could explain to the parents about the importance of a balanced life for the students through sport.
On top of that, the school could improve the sporting facilities for the students and employ qualified trainers. Both steps would go along way towards attracting the interest of the students to get involve in sports. The presence of the trainers would be an added bonus for the students because the students could receive proper training on the rules and regulations in sports.
Last but not least, the school authorities could organise more competition related to sports and offer attractive prizes to the winners. This would act as an incentive for students who have talent in sports to come forth and compete.

A REPORT ON THE LACK OF INTEREST IN SPORTS AMONG THE STUDENTS OF SMK DATO’ LELA BENDAHARA
I have recently conducted a survey among the students of SMK Dato’ Lela Bendahara. The result of my survey show that among 500 students only 50 would choose sports as their preferred leisure activity during their sports time. That number is only 10% of the students population.
Among the reasons cited by the students is their own attitude towards sports. Many of them assume that playing sports involves getting, hot, dirty and sweaty as well as being occasionally sunburned. Also, the students complained about their lack of time. Many of them commented that this was caused by the longer school hours and also because many-co-curricular society such as uniform bodies, hold extra meetings on weekend.
Not only that, many of the students complained about parental factors. According to them, their parents place an exercise amount of attention on academics. Many of them have stated that it has become an obsession with their parents to make them excellent in academics with their parents sending them for tuition classes, workshops and seminars at every possible opportunity, it has become very difficult for them to make time for leisure, let alone sports.

Nature
Nature by HD Carberry
We have neither Summer nor Winter
Neither Autumn nor Spring.
We have instead the days
When the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields-
Magnificently.
The days when the rain beats like bullets on the roofs
And there is no sound but the swish of water in the gullies
And trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds.
Also there are the days when leaves fade from off guango trees
And the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun.
But best of all there are the days when the mango and the
logwood blossom
When the bushes are full of the sound of bees and the scent of
honey,
When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of
air,
When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow stars
And beauty comes suddenly and the rains have gone.
1. Which seasons mention in the poem?
2. Which line tells about heavy rain?
3. List out three lines that describe the situation at the poet’s country.
4. In your opinion, does the poet love his country? Give a reason for your answer.
5. In your opinion, why does the poet say:
a. “But best of all there are the days when the mango and the logwood blossom”.
6. Which line describes about heavy wind?
7. In your own words, describe the poet’s country.
8. Which line suggests on a sense of touch?
9. Which line describes on the intensity of the rain?
10. Which line explains that the land lies idle and unproductive?
