Last Friday, a friend of mine asked me to accompany him to buy a new shirt at a department
store. We left home at 03.00 p.m. by motorcycle. As soon as we arrived there, we went to the clothes
section. I let him choose one. An hour later, I got bored watching him confused in choosing a shirt.
So I left him and went to the cassette counter. Thirty minutes later, I went back to the clothes section
but I couldn’t find him there. My cell phone was broken so I couldn’t call him. I went to the parking
area. I saw his motorcycle was there but I couldn’t find him. I waited for him for a few moments then
finally I gave up and decided to go home.
When I arrived home, my mother told me that my friend called. She said that he was in the
department store looking for me. My mother asked me to come back to the department store.
Reluctantly, I walked to the department store and you know what? When I arrived there his
motorcycle was not in the parking area. He just went home. I was very tired. There was no other
choice, I had to walk home again. When I arrived home, I was so tired. I was very angry but when I
saw my friend’s broad smile greet me in front of the door, I just could not help laughing.

The following text is for questions 7 to 9.

I’ll never forget May 3, 1990, the dat Tien- Tien came into our lives. Ahong , the wife of my
youngest brother Ajing, gave birth after a very difficult labour of five hours. We already had a name
for the baby before she was born. She would be called Tien-Tien which meant ‘sweetness’.
As we waited at the hospital, our joy quickly turned to grief when the attending physician
announced that he could detect no signs of life in Tien-Tien. There was no breathing, no heartbeat, so
he finally declared the baby dead.
Ajing decide to lay the body next to the Taizi River. To outsiders, this might be strange: to us,
a Chinese family with almost no money or resources, the prospect of encouraging the baby’s spirit
slip away to a better world in a beautiful setting made a great deal of sense. We planned to return
later to bury Tien-Tien’s remains and pay honour to her.
Ajing wrapped his child in a red floral quilt and set off for the river. He gently laid his baby
in a patch of grass along the bank of the river.
A week later, while I was walking home from work, I overheard several women talking about
one of her friends. They said their friend heard a baby crying and the sound came from a patch of
grass along the river bank. They further explained that the baby had been placed in a local
orphanage.
Something inside me said it must have been Tien-Tien. Without waiting any longer, I ran to
the orphanage. In the room I saw Tien-Tien in a crib covered in dirt but very much alive.

D. The baby’s spirit would go to a better life

The following text is for questions 10 and 12.

I usually woke up at 8 a.m. and went to the press center to check the daily schedule of
briefings and press conferences, usually held by the United Nations officials or disaster mitigation
team chief, Alwi Shihab.
It was challenging to visit different refugee camps to find soft stories, human interest stories.
Then, I went back to the press center in between to cover the press conferences of the day.
It was heart breaking when I saw these survivors fight for food and secondhand clothing,
which they said were limited and inadequate. Emerging to a glaring, full noon, it was time to go back
to the press center to write stories and race against time, always fearing that the internet connection
would come crashing down.
And after everything was done, only then I remembered to eat. Most times, I only ate once a
day because you always had to rush and it was difficult to find food. You had to travel quite far,
about a 30-to 45-minute trip by car to find fresh food.
