SAMPLE QUESTION (1)Based on one of the novels, write about a character you like most.
SAMPLE ANSWER 1Based on the novels above, I would like to choose Around The World In 80 Days
written by Jules Verne . The story is about an adventure around the world which has to becompleted in 80 days. In the novel, a character that I like most is Phileas Fogg, the maincharacter.
I like him the most because he has a really calm characteristic. It is proven when hedoes not even nag to anyone although he was imprisoned. He just sits there and looks at hiswatch without saying a word to anyone. If I were him I would have cried as loudly as I could,
knowing that I am accused in robbing a bank.I also like him because he is really brave to help Auoda who is going to be killed bybandits. He also fights with the bandits when they try to catch Auoda once again on the train.This shows that he is very brave.
I think, with all the good and positive qualities portrayed in the character of PhileasFogg, it is undeniable that he is a likeable character in the story.
SAMPLE QUESTION 2Based on one of the novels, write about a character you find interesting. Give
evidence from the novel to support your answer
SAMPLE ANSWER 2
Based on the novel Around The World In 80 Days written by Jules Verne, thecharacter which I find interesting is the main character, Phileas Fogg.
He is said to have an interesting character because he is a very calm person.He did not even nag to anyone when he was imprisoned. He just sat there and looked at hiswatch without saying a word to anyone. If I were him, I would have cried as loudly as I couldknowing that I am accused in robbing a bank.
Brave is also his characteristic that I find interesting as he helped Auoda whowas going to be killed by the bandits and also bravely fought the bandits when they tried tocatch Auoda once again on the train.
So these are some of the reasons why I said that Phileas Fogg is aninteresting character.

SAMPLE QUESTION 3Based on one of the novels, write about any event that you find interesting in the
story.. Give evidence from the novel to support your answer.
SAMPLE ANSWER 3Jules Verne has portrayed many interesting events in the novel Around The World In
80 Days and I find the part where Philea Fogg fights with the bandits on the train is the mostinteresting.
It started when the train suddenly stopped but not long after that it startedmoving again. However, a loud shouts and noises were heard from the outside. As it turnedout, a gang of close one hundred men had attacked the train. They moved from car to carand took whatever they could from the poor travellers. The train was going to crash. Luckily,Passerpartout managed to pull the brakes and the train stopped but unfortunately he wastaken away with other passengers by the bandits.
It was an excitement part as Philleas Fogg wanted to save Passepartout alone by
himself and that had proven that he was really brave. If I were him I would think twice asthere are so many bandits and I am really sure that I could not handle them by my own.At last the captain offered Phileas thirty volunteers to help him to fight the bandits. On
the next day, at dawn Phileas Fogg and Passepartout were seen otheir way back and theywere safe.
This event actually has captured my interest throughout the story as it really showsthe bravery of Phileas Fogg and Passepartout.

During a card-playing session at the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in a discussionabout a bank robbery and the possibility of travelling around the world in 80 days. His wager
of twenty thousand pound, with Andrew starts his journey around the world. Of course, back
then, this would have been near to impossible, for they did not have the technology we have
today. If he fails to make it back to the club in exactly 80 days, he will lose half of his
fortune. It is evident that Fogg is a very brave/determine person when he agrees to wager

with her still sleeping soundly. Last but not least, to make sure Aouda is safe, Fogg offers to
take Aouda to Hong Kong, his next destination.
Fogg shows great bravery/determination when he never gives up, despite the odds.
He embarks on journey which is full of adventures and surprises.He hired boats, rides on an
elephant, takes over a ship, rides on a sled with sails and even hires a train in order to
achieve his goal.
In conclusion, Fogg has succeeded in many things. He wins the wager and proves that
man can travel around the world in 80 days. Most importantly he saves Aouda, confesseshis love and marries her; and everything is because of his bravery/strong determination.
2. Lesson Learnt / Moral Value
a) We must be a brave/determine person
Jules Verne, the writer of "Around the World in 80 Days" has taught us many valuable
lessons through his story. One of the lessons is that we must be a brave/determine person.
This lesson can be seen in the main character, Phileas Fogg. He is indeed a very brave
/ determine person when he agrees to wager half of his fortune just to prove that he will be
back on Saturday, December 21st at 8.45 p.m. It has all begun during a card-playing session
at the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in a discussion about a bank robbery and the
possibility of travelling around the world in 80 days. His wager of twenty thousand pound,
with Andrew starts his journey around the world. Of course, back then, this would have been
near to impossible, for they did not have the technology we have today. If he fails to make it
back to the club in exactly 80 days, he will lose half of his fortune. Thus, from this event it is
evident that Fogg is a very brave/determine person.
In another event, we also learn to be a brave/determine person from Fogg. He shows
his bravery/determination in the adventures to save Aouda. He is brave/determined to
save Aouda by risking his life and freedom to rescue Aouda. Fogg is willing to do whatever
is within his reach to free her from her kidnappers. First and foremost, Fogg waits until it is

Fogg safely tucks Aouda in one of the howdahs with her still sleeping soundly. Last but not
least, to make sure Aouda is safe, Fogg offers to take Aouda to Hong Kong, his next
destination.
Passepartout also teaches us to be a very brave / determine person. This is clearly
portrayed during the train journey across America, the train that brings Fogg and his
companion is attacked by the outlaws. They swarm the carriages and fight with thepassengers. The conductor, who is attacked, cries that if the train is not stopped, it will surely
crash. Passepartout hears this too and bravely/with determination he slips under the train
carriages. He removes the safety chains and a violent jolt separates the train and the
engine. The train comes to a standstill near Kearney Fort station. The soldiers of the fort
hear firing and rush to help. The outlaws run away. This event has proven the bravery /
determination of Passepartout.
In a nutshell, we must be brave / determine in taking such a risk to save other people's
lives.
b) We must be a caring/concern person
Jules Verne, the writer of "Around the World in 80 Days" has taught us many valuable
lessons through his story. One of the lessons is that we must be a caring/concern person.

Allahabad on the elephant's back through the forest. Suddenly they meet a group of bandits
who have kidnapped the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Phileas Fogg is indeed a brave
man and not afraid to risk his life to save someone from harm. He decides to save Aouda,

3. Major Themes
a) The journey around th e world in the chal lenged eighty d ays.
The novel "Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne highlights many themes. One
of the themes is the journey aroun d the world in th e chal lenged eighty days.This is the main theme of the novel and connected to it, is the main character, the hero
of the story. Phileas Fogg is challenged by fellow whist players as to whether he can
complete a journey around the world in the short span of eighty days. Fogg is extremely
excited to take up this challenge, as he believes that if one is precise and efficient enough
can make this journey possible. So he takes up the task and starts a hurried journey around
the world. He has many ups and downs in this strenuous journey but he has a never say die
attitude that sees him through. Entwined with the story of his travels is the one character
who proves to be an obstacle once too often. He is the detective Fix and he suspects that,
Fogg is a bank robber and that the hurried travel from one place to another is just a means
of covering up the crime. So apart from natural hurdles and obstacles that Fogg has to face,
he has the further machinations of detective Fix to circumvent. What is surprising is that
Fogg does not suspect Fix and never smells a rat. In fact, Fogg helps Fix at more than one
occasion.
During the journey the focus of the author remains Fogg, his companions and their
experiences. While the places that they pass through are described briefly they are not given
any outstanding reference. They just form the background to the activities of the hero Fogg
with his insurmountable, incorrigible will.
The fact is that Fogg finds the love of his life-Aouda only because of this trip. At the end,
Verne seems to be putting across a moral lesson-that challenges are not as important as
finding true, abiding love and affection. Verne says that the heroic Fogg would not have
attained as much from worldly accomplishments, as he does from finding lasting love with
the charming Aouda.
Fogg does win the challenge but only after an interesting episode. He himself thinks that
he has reached a little late and has lost. But he and his group are unaware that they have
actually reached a whole day earlier. Fortunately for them, even after they have given up, by
a stroke of luck Fogg, Passepartout and Aouda find out that they still have a few minutes to
reach the Reform Club and Fogg does! We are all glad that Fogg is the winner at the end.
b) The suspic ion that Fogg might be the bank robberJules Verne is an intelligent writer of the novel "Around the World in 80 Days" who must
have known how to sustain the readers interest. Knowing that Foggs hurried journey
around the world would not be interesting enough without entwined sub themes. Verne adds
the theme of Fixs suspicion that Fogg is a bank robber.
The narrator relates how a well-dressed gentleman was responsible for a huge robbery
at the Bank of England. If we combine that fact with the knowledge of Foggs eccentricities,
even we as readers get a little curious as to whether Fogg could be a robber. After all Fogg
could have readily accepted the challenge merely because it gave him a chance to flee
London and to set out on a wild journey that would make him untraceable. This suspicion
keeps us interested too, though we do realize that Fogg is an honorable man and would notcommit such an attack. What Verne does manage to do is to create a mysterious aura

around Fogg. We learn that he has been a sailor too in the way that he handles the ship to
Liverpool.
Fix follows Fogg through the world after being completely convinced that the latter is the
culprit. It is Fix who delays the journey innumerable times. These delays are challenges to
Fogg who deals with them brilliantly, adding further interest value to the narrative.
When Fix finally manages to arrest Fogg he finds out that his conviction was completelywrong. Fogg is innocent and is so angry that he gives Fix an amazing blow on his face.
Later, Fogg feels sorry for Fixs unfortunate luck and gives him some money. The manner in
which Fogg deals with Fix is truly gentleman like.
c) Fogg and Aoudas love
The novel "Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne highlights many themes. Oneof the themes is love.
When Fogg and his group are traveling through India, they come across a princess, who
is being forced to commit suttee (suicide) for the sake of her dead husband. It is quite
uncharacteristic of Fogg to get involved in others affairs but he reiterates that he has some
time to spare, which can be used in an effort to save the princess Aouda. The others agree
to Foggs idea and it is Passepartout who comes up with the winning trick that makes their
effort successful. When Aouda comes to her senses, after the effect of opium has worn
away she expresses her extreme gratefulness to her saviors. But the reader notices later
that Aoudas gratitude is combined with deep affection in the case of Fogg. She starts loving
him for his nobility and his courage. Moreover, he is a handsome man. While Fogg takesutmost care of Aouda one does not know whether it is out of love, or merely for dutys sake.
He is extremely careful with her and is concerned about her safety. Passepartout can
recognize Aoudas affection for Fogg but he too is not sure whether Fogg would feel the
same as Auoda. The fact is that Fogg does have feelings for Aouda but he places his duty
above his love.
It is only at the end of their journey, at London that he confesses his love for her and
they decide to get married. It is their decision to marry that enables Fogg to win the bet. For
it is through the priest that they learn that they had actually reached London a whole day
earlier. Fogg rushes to the Reform Club and is just in time for winning the challenge. Later,
Verne underlines the fact that attaining Aoudas love was more important than winning a
challenge.
The theme of Fogg and Aoudas love adds romantic interest to the story. And, we learn
the lesson that love conquers all and that is why it must be placed higher than material
attainments.

RALAT SLOT 1 AROUND THE WORLD
GUIDELINES TO ANSWER Identify requirements of the question.
Name the novel and writer/author. State a character that you admire. Give at least 2 evidence (from the text) Personalize your answer by stating your feelings and responses, if necessary. Check for errors in grammar, spelling and punctuation. Remember your answer should be more than 50 words.
Sample question 1:
Based on ONE of the novel above, write on a character that is determined to achievesuccess. Give evidence from the novel to support your answer.
Sample answer 1 (a)
Based on the novel Around the world in 80 Days by Jules Verne, there are many
characters portray in it and I think a character that is determined to achieve success is
Phileas Fogg. He is a fourty-year-old man and lives in Saville Row, London. He is very
punctual person and he is also one of the Reform Club members.
Andrew Stuart, his club member, had wager with him about travelling the world only
in 80 days. Through his reading and general knowledge, it was not possible to carry out the
journey, so he accepted the wager. His determination to make his dream comes true has
captured my interest.
Not only that, we knew that his success will be fruitful if he could move around theworld in certain duration. Although he had met many obstacles along the journey, he still
focused his mind to be a successful man. So he moved through the obstacles well. For
example, he decided to save Auoda from the bandits. It can be classified as his success
since he managed to save her.
Besides, his journey had stopped suddenly in India because of the unfinished railway
track. So he found out the alternative way. He rode the elephant with his butler, Auoda and
Ali. This event shows that he is really determined to achieve success.
In conclusion, Phileas Fogg has captured my interest to label him as a character that
is determined to achieve success.
Sample Answer 1 (b)
Based on the novel Around the world in 80 Days by Jules Verne, there are many
characters portray in it and I think a character that is determined to achieve success is
Phileas Fogg. He is a fourty-year-old man and lives in Saville Row, London. He is very
punctual person and he is also one of the Reform Club members.
Phileas Fogg is really a brave person and willing to do anything to get what he wants.
This proves that without high determination we could not achieve any goal in our lives. He is
said a character that is determined to achieve success when he bravely fought with the
outlaws on the train by the time they were attacked. It started when the train suddenlystopped but not long after that it started moving again. As it turned out, a gang of close one

11
hundred men had attacked the train. They moved from car to car and took whatever they
could from the poor passengers. Phileas Fogg tried his best to fight the bandits to save his
friends as well as other passengers and at last he succeeded.
High determination is also clearly portrayed by Phileas Fogg when he attempted to
save Passepartout alone after knowing that Passepartout was taken away by the outlaws
with other passengers. Phileas Fogg did not even think of himself, what borthering him wasthe safety of his butler. Realizing that Phileas Fogg was really determined to save
Passepartout, the captain then offered thirty volunteers to help him along the mission. At last
they managed to bring back Passepartout safely. I really amazed with Phileas Foggs
determination in saving his butler.
The reasons above really support my choice and because of that it is undeniable that
Phileas Fogg is the only character that is determined to achieve success. I hope I will also
be like him in facing difficulties in my life.
Sample question 2:
Based on one novel above, write about an event that you think is the most
meaningful. Provide evidence from the text to support your answer.
Sample answer:
Based on the novel Around The World In 80 Days, written by Jules Verne, I think
that the event where Phileas Fogg fights with the outlaws on the train is the most
meaningful.
I said so since the event really teaches me to be a brave person. I realized that
without high determination I could not achieve any goal in my life. The action of Phileas Fogg
and his friends fight with the outlaws on the train is the best example of bravery. It started
when the train suddenly stopped but not long after that it started moving again. As it turned
out, a gang of close one hundred men had attacked the train. They moved from car to car
and took whatever they could from the poor passengers. The train was out of controlled and
could crash anytime. Passepartout then tried to stop the train. He used all his acrobatic skills
and with his bravery at last he managed to pull out the brakes and the train stopped in front
of the Fort Kearney Station.
I also noticed that this good attitude is portrayed by Phileas Fogg when he attempted
to save Passepartout alone after knowing that Passepartout was taken away by the outlaws
with other passengers. Phileas Fogg did not even think of himself, what bothering him was
the safety of his butler. Realizing that Phileas Fogg was really determined to savePassepartout, the captain then offered thirty volunteers to help him along the mission. At last
they managed to bring back Passepartout safely. I really amazed with Phileas Foggs
bravery in saving his butler.
The event of fighting the outlaws on the train has captured my interest throughout the
story. That is why I choose this event as the most meaningful event for me.
Note: Try to compare the response in sample answer 1(b) and sample answer 2. It is clearly
seen that the evidence used is taken from the same event that is fight with the outlaws on
the train. What important here is the three items which proves the task is fulfilled should be

girl in Form 3 Al Batani who leads the Art Club actually drew it. Her teacher

the other female, walked nicelyin front of the crowd. The students and

Varying Sentence Structure
To make your writing more interesting, you should try to vary your sentences in terms of length and
structure. You can make some of your sentences long and others short.
Read the paragraphs below. Choose theparagraph that is more effective.
1) I love living in the city. I have a wonderful view of the entire city. I have an apartment. I cansee the Golden Gate Bridge. I can see many cargo ships pass under the bridge each day. I
like the restaurants in San Francisco. I can find wonderful food from just about every
country. I dont like the traffic in the city.
2) I love living in the city of San Francisco. I have a wonderful view of the entire city from my
apartment window. In addition, I can see the Golden Gate Bridge under which many cargo
ships pass each day. I also like San Francisco because I can find wonderful restaurants with
food from just about every country; however, I dont like the traffic in the city.
How do you vary sentence structure?
You will want to use a variety of sentence structures in your writing. There are three types of
sentences we will study in this lesson:
- Simple Sentence
- Compound Sentence
- Complex Sentence
1. The Simple Sentence
A simple sentence has one independent clause (one subject and a verb):
I live in San Francisco.
Subject verb
2. Compound Sentence
A compound sentence contains two independent clauses that are joined together.

She works in the city, but she lives in the suburbs.
Independent Clause Independent Clause
You can make a compound sentence by joining two logically related independent clauses by
using
1) a semicolon - ( Independent Clause ; Independent Clause )
Eg: I love living in the city ; there are so many things to do.
2) a coordinating conjunction
(Independent Clause ,coordinating conjunction Independent Clause)
Eg: He couldnt watch the show , so he decided to record it.
Independent Clause Independent Clause

Coordinating Conjunctions
Logical Relationship Coordinating Conjunction
Addition And
Contrast But, yet

### FANBOYS
CAUTION! Do NOT use a comma every time you use the words and, or, but, nor, for, so, yet. Use a
comma only when the coordinating conjunction joins two independent clauses
Eg: The necklace was beautiful but expensive. (Simple Sentence)
Independent Clause No comma- not an independent clause
3) a transition ( Independent Clause ; transition , Independent Clause )
Eg : I love San Francisco ; however, I hate the traffic

sentence
contains at least one independent clause and one dependent clause.

### Use a comma after a dependent clause if it begins the sentence.
Eg : When I first moved to the city , I was afraid to drive the steep and narrow streets.
Subordinating Conjunction Use a comma if the dependent clause Independent Clause
is the first part of the sentence.

Construction of the Passive Voice
The structure of the passive voice is very simple:subject + auxiliary verb (be) + main verb (past participle)
The main verb is always in its past participle form. Look at these examples:
Subject auxiliary verb (to be) main verb (past participle)
Water is Drunk by everyone.
100 people are Employed by this company.
I am Paid in euro.
We are not Paid in dollars.
Are they Paid in yen?
Use of the Passive Voice
We use the passive when:
we want to make the active object more important
we do not know the active subject
subject Verb object
give importance to active object President was killed by Lee Harvey

active subject unknown My wallethas been
stolen.?
Conjugation for the Passive Voice
We can form the passive in any tense. In fact, conjugation of verbs in the
passive tense is rather easy, as the main verb is always in past participle form
and the auxiliary verb is always be. To form the required tense, we conjugatethe auxiliary verb. So, for example:
present simple: It is made
present continuous: It is being made present perfect: It has been made
Here are some examples with most of the possible tenses:
Infinitive to be washed
Simple
present It is washed.
past It was washed.
future It will be washed.
conditional It would be washed.
Continuous
present It is being washed.
Past It was being washed.
Future It will be being washed.
conditional It would be being washed.
perfect simple
Present It has been washed.
Past It had been washed.
Future It will have been washed.
