Read the passage beiow ar.d answer questions 71 to 80. (20 marks)
Our teacher had assigned each of us a "secret buddy" for the coming week. She
explained that the activity was organised to celebrate Friendship Week. We were asked to
write encouraging notes to our assigned buddies and ensure that our identities were not
revealed until the end of the week. Our teacher wrote all our names on pieces of paoer and
threw them into a bucket. Then, we closed our eyes and drew the name of the classmate 5
whom we were to secretly befriend and care for over the next five days.
Everyone, including me, started turning the assignment into a contest to see whose
secret buddy would give the best gift. Instead of encouraging notes, a few secret buddies left
gifts like stationery sets, sweets and even money. It seemed that everyone was receiving cool
gifts from their buddies. Everyone, except me. 10
My buddy followed the teacher's directions without a fault. I received handmade cards
with nice messages, proclaiming that I was one of the nicest pupils in the class. My buddy
seemed to think highly of me from the notes that were left, and I should have been pleased.
instead, it just made me feel somewhat disappointed.
On the last morning of our assignment, I walked into my cla�sroom and noticed a small 15
box on my des!<. At last, my buddy had grasped the idea that everyone else had! Not wanting
to waste another minute, I ripped open the box and my face fell. The gift was far from what I
had expected. It was a used handkerchief with my name sewn on it. Jane, who was sitting
near me, giggled and teased me about the "second hand" present I had received. "So cute!"
she said, her voice full of sarcasm, "Let me throw it away for you." Her shrill voice attracted a 20
group of classmates who gathered around my table to laugh at my 'gift'. My face turned red
as I looked at the handkerchief for the last time before it was tossed into the bin.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but during recess, Jane started
badmouthing my secret buddy and the gift. I quickly joined in. "How lame," I heard myself
saying. "What was my buddy trying to prove by giving me such a stupid gift? I wouldn't dare 25
to use it."
Jane laughed at my remarks and went for recess, leaving me in the classroom.
As I stood up, I saw Rachel. She walked towards me with tears streaming down her
cheeks and whispered, 'Tm your secret buddy. I'm sorry about the gift." Then, she ran out of
the classroom. Her sobs stayed with me long after she had left. 30
My secret buddy was a girl named Rachel, who came from a poor family. She had been
bullied at school by those who felt they were better just because their parents had money. Yet
through all the teasing and harassment, Rachel had never harboured a grudge against
anyone. She just took it all in her stride.
