Phileas Fogg was from London, England. Passepartout was his new butler.
A gentleman robbed ₤55,000 from the bank of England. Phileas Fogg wagered ₤20,000 or half his fortune with
Andrew Stuart. Mr Fix saw them in Egypt. Mr Fix believed that Phileas
Fogg was the robber. Mr Fix followed them. In Bombay, Passepartout entered a temple with his
shoes on. The Indians kicked him out & took his shoes. The railroad from Bombay to Calcutta was not finished.
Phileas Fogg paid ₤2000 for an elephant, Kiouni. They hired a guide, Ali.
Ali took them through the forest. They met bandits who kidnapped Aouda. They saved Aouda by digging a hole in the wall of her mud hut.
They went to Allahabad where the railroad continues to Calcutta. Phileas Fogg gave Kiouni to Ali.

Passepartout was arrested for wearing shoes into the temple in Bombay. Phileas Fogg paid the ₤2000 bail for Passepartout’s freedom.
Aouda joined their journey. They went to Hong Kong on a ship.
In Hong Kong, Mr Fix told Passepartout the truth. Passepartout was loyal and did not believe Mr Fix. Mr Fix knocked out Passepartout.
The next day, Mr Fix told Phileas Fogg and Aouda they missed the Carnatic to Yokohama. Phileas Fogg found another boat to take them to Shanghai. They could catch the Carnatic there. Mr Fix joined the journey. They successfully caught the Carnatic.
Phileas Fogg and Aouda met Passepartout in a circus in Yokohama. They took the General Grant to San Francisco. Mr Fix apologised to Passerpartout on the ship. They continued the journey together.

In San Francisco, they took a train to New York. During the train ride, Phileas Fogg told the engineer to speed over an old bridge. They succeeded in crossing safely.
Outlaws attacked their train. They saved the train but the outlaws kidnapped Passepartout. Phileas Fogg and a company of soldiers rescued Passepartout.
In New York, they missed the ship to Liverpool. Phileas Fogg hired a boat to take them to Liverpool.
During the journey, the boat ran out of fuel. Phileas Fogg gave the Captain enough money to buy two boats. They burned the boat’s wood as fuel.
In Liverpool, Mr Fix arrested Phileas Fogg. He went to jail.
Soon, Mr Fix released him because the police had already caught the real robber.

Phileas Fogg, Passepartout and Aouda rushed to the train station. They took a train to London but arrived 5 minutes too late. They went home.
Phileas Fogg was a poor man. Aouda loved him & suggested they get married. He agreed.
Passepartout found out they were 1 day early. They quickly rushed to the Reform Club and won the wager. Phileas Fogg was rich again.
Aouda asked him if he still wanted to marry her. He said yes.
Key Events

Q: Describe a character you learned moral values from.
A: I choose Around the world in 80 Days by Jules Verne. I think a character I learned moral values from is Phileas Fogg.
Firstly, I learned to be generous like him. He paid for Mr Fix and Aouda’s travel expenses when they joined him. He also paid for Passepartout’s ₤2000 bail in India. He also gave his ₤2000 elephant to his guide in India.
Model Answer #1: Character
![Page 17: PMR English Language Examination Seminar (Paper 2: Section B)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554dd8acb4c905d10e8b4ec8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Then, I learned to be brave like him. He risked his life to save Aouda from the bandits in India. There were many bandits and they had weapons. He was brave to go into their camp without any weapons. He also fought outlaws to save Passepartout in America.
Finally, I learned to be determined like him. He never gave up even though many bad things happened to him on his journey. When his boat to Liverpool ran out of fuel, he gave the captain enough money for two boats. Then, he cut the wood on the ship for fuel.
![Page 18: PMR English Language Examination Seminar (Paper 2: Section B)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554dd8acb4c905d10e8b4ec8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In conclusion, the examples above show that a character I learned moral values from is Phileas Fogg. Phileas Fogg is my role model. When I grow up, I want to be just like him.
![Page 19: PMR English Language Examination Seminar (Paper 2: Section B)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554dd8acb4c905d10e8b4ec8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Q: Describe a lesson you have learned from a good character.
A: I choose Around the world in 80 Days by Jules Verne. I think a lesson I have learned from a good character is be determined for success. (Lesson/Value/Quality = be determined for success. Theme = determination for success) Phileas Fogg is an excellent example of this.
Firstly, Phileas Fogg was determined for success. He was willing to sacrifice his money. He paid ₤2000 for an elephant to Calcutta in India. He also paid for Passepartout’s ₤2000 bail in India. When his boat to Liverpool ran out of fuel, he gave the captain enough money for two boats. Then, he cut the wood on the ship for fuel.
Model Ans #2: Lesson/Value/Theme
![Page 20: PMR English Language Examination Seminar (Paper 2: Section B)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554dd8acb4c905d10e8b4ec8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Then, Phileas Fogg always adapted to unexpected things. He was determined for success so he always looked for ways to continue his journey. When he missed his ship to Yokohama, he hired another boat to catch it in Shanghai. When he missed his boat to Liverpool, he hired a boat too.
Finally, Phileas Fogg never give up even though many bad things happened to him on his journey. Even at the last minute when Mr Fix arrested him and put him in jail, he never gave up. When Mr Fix apologised and released him, he did not waste time. He was determined for success and quickly continued his journey.

In conclusion, the examples above show that a lesson I have learned from a good character is be determined for success. Phileas Fogg is my role model. When I grow up, I want to be just like him.

Q: Describe an event that taught you important lessons.
A: I choose Around the world in 80 Days by Jules Verne. I think an event that taught me important lessons is in the end when Phileas Fogg lost his wager.
Firstly, I learned to be generous like him. He was kind to his friends during the journey. He paid for Mr Fix and Aouda’s travel expenses when they joined him. He also paid for Passepartout’s ₤2000 bail in India. In the end when he lost his money, his friends stayed with him and was generous to him. Mr Fix allowed Phileas Fogg to punch him. Passepartout continued to serve him even though he did not have money to pay his wages. Aouda even wanted to marry him when he was poor.
Model Ans #3: Event/Incident/Ending
![Page 23: PMR English Language Examination Seminar (Paper 2: Section B)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554dd8acb4c905d10e8b4ec8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Then, I learned to be brave like him. He risked his life to save his friends. He saved Aouda from the bandits in India. He also fought outlaws to save Passepartout in America. In the end, they were around to support him when he was weak. Aouda agreed to marry him and start over together. Passepartout agreed to help them get married.
Finally, I learned to be determined like him. When he found out that there was still time, he rushed to the Reform Club. He got there in the nick of time and won his wager. He got his fortune back, a wonderful woman to marry and a faithful friend as a butler. A perfect ending.
