To avoid getting a scolding, she told her mother a cock and bull story about how she got her toothache. However, her mother knew that she was lying. She has fully aware of Sues weakness for sweets and chocolates. The next day, Sues mother took her to the dentist. Sues mother told her to bear in mind the consequences of eating too many sweets. True enough, the doctor recommended extracting a badly decayed tooth. Sue had learned a lesson. She decided to turn over a new leaf.

Tom was a healthy young man but he was a simpleton. When it was time for him to earn a living, his father could not get him any work. Finally, he became a herdsman, looking after his fathers three buffaloes.

Tom found it difficult to distinguish one buffalo from another. Once he had put his fathers buffaloes in the field, he could not trace them among the buffaloes of other herdsmen. The other herdsmen knew this and they took advantage of it. They just lazed on the grass, laughing and joking, and whenever they saw a buffalo wandering out of the field, they shouted, Tom, Tom, there goes your buffalo! Tom, thinking every buffalo that wandered out was his, spent the whole day chasing and catching the buffaloes. When evening came, he had to wait till the other herdsmen had taken away all their buffaloes before he could leave with his buffaloes. As a result, he arrived home late. This happened for many days until his anxious father found out the trick played on his son. So the next day the father tied some leaves on the horns of his three buffaloes and said, Now, my son, look at the buffaloes carefully and remember that only a buffalo which has leaves round its horns is your responsibility. Do not tire yourself by herding all the buffaloes in the field. That morning, whenever the other herdsmen shouted, Hey, Tom, there goes your animal, Tom glanced at the buffalos horns, and if he saw no leaves on its horns, he just sat down and took no further notice. However, by afternoon, Toms secret had been discovered by his companions. They at once tied leaves onto the horns of their buffaloes, too. As a result, poor Tom again spent the entire afternoon chasing all the stray buffaloes. He arrived home late again. His anxious father had been waiting for him at the gate of his farm. Tom complained, Father, all was well in the morning but by afternoon, leaves have grown on the horns of the other buffaloes too.
Why did Tom usually go home late? (1) He had to wait for the rest to collect their buffaloes. (2) He was tired after wandering all over the field. (3) He had to chase and catch his buffaloes first. (4) He needed more time to trace his buffaloes. Why did Toms father tie the leaves on the horns? (1) The buffaloes would be well hidden in the field. (2) The other herdsmen would not recognize Toms buffaloes. (3) Tom would be able to distinguish his own buffaloes. (4) The buffaloes would not stray again. Which of these statements is correct? (1) Tom knew the others used leaves to trick him. (2) Tom thought leaves were growing on the horns. (3) Tom did not believe that horns could bear leaves. (4) Tom felt that only his buffaloes could grow leaves.

Evaluating an algebraic expression When the value of a letter is known, we substitute it into the algebraic expression to get the answer. Example: Find the value of 23z + 39 when z = 7. 23z + 39 = 23 7 + 39 = 200 Simplifying an algebraic expression 1. Group the algebra together. Bear in mind the arithmetic operators (+, , , ) in front of each variable. When the variable has to be moved, that arithmetic operator will follow. 2. Perform the arithmetic operation as usual. Example: Simplify 6x + 20 + 3x 15. 6x + 20 + 3x 15 = 6x + 3x + 20 15 = 9x + 5 Unit 2 Angles The properties of angles are summarised below.

Living things are made up of many parts. Each part of a living thing that helps it to function properly is known as an organ. Our human body is made up of many different organs. Some organs in our body are shown below.
The brain is our bodys control centre. It sends out signals to control many of our bodily functions, such as the voluntary movements of our muscles. Our brain also controls our mental functions, such as our ability to think and make decisions. Our heart helps to pump blood all around our body. Our stomach is a muscular bag which helps to break down the food we eat so that it can be converted into useful energy which can be used by our body. These are some common organs in the human body.
Our ve sense organs: eyes, nose, tongue, ears, skin.
Our lungs help us to breathe.
Different organs perform different functions. Some organs group together to form a system. Each organ in the system has its own role to play to enable the whole system to carry out its particular function.

Advanced Dictionary of English Idioms

for Upper Primary and Secondary Levels
An idiom can be defined as a group of words strung together to assume a specific meaning different from the meaning of each individual word. Such an idiomatic meaning can normally be expressed through other means, but it is usually not done so with equal force and vividness. ENGLISH IDIOMS take different forms and are unclear in meaning on the surface structure. Generally speaking, they consist of the following six types: Phrasal verbs, such as call on, put off, do away with; Prepositional phrases, such as in a nutshell, from time to time, with a view to; Idioms with verbs as key words, such as come in handy, fight shy of, leave much to be desired; Idioms with nouns as key words, such as blessing in disguise, childs play, food for thought; Idioms with adjectives as key words, such as cold comfort, wishful thinking, plain sailing; Idiomatic pairs, such as safe and sound, aches and pains, sink or swim. In view of the importance of idioms for day-to-day English communication, this book has incorporated a large number of essential idioms and proverbs with explanations and illustrations. In fact, readers from all walks of life will find it easy to make use of these practical idioms in all spheres of their life. It is therefore certain that those using this book with tenacity will find it meaningful, purposeful, stimulating, rewarding, thus reaping the handsome reward of their great endeavours.

I was deeply offended when Patrice left my house that day even though we had barely spent an hour together. It was not so much her criticism of my cooking that made me wanted to pour the entire bowl of chicken stew over her head but her comments about our days in secondary school. Why had she have to remind me of those times when I had tried so hard to fit in to the cool crowd and was snubbed by them? I could not have been happy when Patrice received a call by her mother to return home urgently. I pretended to sound concern but I wondered if she noticed the gleam of delight in my eyes and the slightly twitch at the sides of my lips. I coughed to hide a smile. I ran around the house making sure that she had gathered everything that was her so that she would not take too long to pack up. I would not be speaking to her for a long time. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

There are two different types of water buffaloes. The Swamp can be found from the Philippines to West India and the River can be found in Egypt and Europe. The water 68 Examination 8 animal. Surprisingly, the water buffalo is not mean-tempered but aTrial docile and hardy buffalo is often tended to and ridden by young children. Most buffaloes are found in 10 countries where cultivated crops and pastures are limited. Forest fodder and waste residues make up the majority of a buffalos diet. By-products from food, grain and oilseed processing are usually in short supply, but the buffalo has been able to survive under fairly adverse conditions. The water buffalo has been associated with men since prehistoric times. Young water 15 buffalo teeth have been found with older erectus skulls. These fossils were discovered in the 1930s by a Dutch geologist. The buffalo was originally an Asian animal and it was only brought to Europe by crusaders who returned during the Middle Ages. Today, the buffalo can be found in America, China and Australia. These countries depend on it for their work and for its by-products. In America, buffaloes are 20 also hunted as trophies. The mortality rate of buffalo calves is high. In the first two months of its life, a calf is highly dependent on its mother milk. However, demand for this milk is on the rise. Without ample nutrition, buffalo calves suffer from virus and bacteria attacks. At present, more than 5% of the worlds milk comes from buffaloes. Compared to cows milk, it is 25 higher in fats and solids, which gives it a richer flavour. There is also more protein in buffalos milk. Many people are willing to pay more for buffalos milk than cows milk. Buffalos milk is used to make ice-cream, cheese, yoghurt, butter and evaporated milk. In India, buffalos milk is used in many recipes. Italian Mozzarella cheese also makes use of buffalos milk. Besides its taste, buffalos milk is also more economical 30 than cows milk as less of it is needed to make cheese. This demand for buffalos milk has caused more than ten thousand calves in India to die. Today, most buffaloes are kept for milk with only the males being used as tractors. If a buffalo manages to live, it is actually a healthy animal. Unlike other life stock that often succumbs to illnesses in hot and humid environments, the buffalo is not as susceptible to illnesses. 35 The water buffalo is also used as a source of meat. Previously, buffaloes were only slaughtered for their meat at the end of their productive lives. Today, many buffaloes are reared specifically for their meat. International demand for this tender and palatable meat has increased and buffaloes from India, Pakistan and Australia are exported to Hong Kong to be slaughtered. Today, markets are also opening up for 40 leather goods and horn products.

Wrote British philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell in his 1917 essay Mysticism and Logic:
Mathematics, when rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture.
Mathematics problems are not alike in the way they come to the students attention. As interesting as the diversified nature of Maths Olympiad questions is the constant curious nature of our minds. As a writer and coach of MO for many years, my curiosity intensifies each time I ask my students to present their solutions to problems as part of the training, that is, to articulate their thinking process and reasoning skills. In moments like these, I become the student my mind filled with childlike anticipation and my students, in turn, become the master. The verbalizations of their thoughts are so full of imagination, fantasy and creativity that this exchange becomes an enjoyment. Perhaps there is as much for me to learn from them as they from me. Two things are obvious how some students have arrived at this state of mastery. Firstly, their tremendous acquisition of knowledge and the ability to make connection through this knowledge is highly remarkable. Secondly, and quite evidently, they have interest in what they persevere and are apparently gifted. Which attribute precedes the other, though, I cannot be too sure. Psychologists over the years have agreed on one thing, the like of which Canadian journalist Malcolm Gladwell mentioned in his book Outliers: The Story of Success: To be exceptionally good, or to reach the state of professional, one must put in something like 10,000 hours of effort in the practice. Though not immediately and readily comparable, the moral is nevertheless the same: practice, practice, practice. This book is written specially for my students and others alike who also enjoy mathematics.

Clear and concise summary
normal r=90 refracted ray c ray box normal c weak reflected ray
When we increase i further until the r = 90, i is known as the critical angle, c.
Critical angle is defined as
the angle of incident in denser medium that results in refracted light ray in the less dense medium having r = 90.
i>c ray box
i reflected ray
Now, even when we increase i even further (i > c), there will be completely no refracted light ray in the less dense medium. This phenomenon is known as total internal reflection.

Source-based Questions
Source A: The Sejarah Melayu on Singapura
Whos Who
Munshi Abdullah was a famous Malay writer who also served as an interpreter to Raffles. Wang Dayuan was a well-known Chinese merchant who had visited Southeast Asia in the 14th century. He had written about Singapore as a thriving centre for trade. Sang Nila Utama was a ruler of Palembang who founded Singapura. Parameswara was a Palembang prince who killed the ruler of Singapore. He later founded Melaka which became the most important trading centre in this part of the world in the 15th century. Temagi was the ruler of Temasek who was killed by Parameswara.

The Sejarah Melayu, which is believed to have been written around the 16th century, has mentioned about Singapura being an important trading centre. This aroused the jealousy of the neighbouring Majapahit ruler who waged a war against Singapura. Source B: Wang Dayuans account on Temasek Wang Dayuan, a Chinese merchant who traveled to Southeast Asia in the 14th century, wrote about Temasek being an exporter of unique products and was a famous place visited by foreigners. However, traders faced piracy in this area.
1
Study Source A. What does the Source tell you about pre-1819 Singapore as mentioned in the Sejarah Melayu? Explain your answer.
Important Points
Artefacts, written accounts and visual evidence have been used to find out about pre-1819 Singapore. By cross-referencing the different sources historians are able to draw conclusions on pre-1819 Singapore. The Sejarah Melayu or the Malay Annals has an anecdote of the founding of Singapura by Sang Utama. This segment explains how Temasek became known as Singapura. The Sejarah Melayu has also mentioned that Singapura was a thriving trading centre in the 16th century. This even resulted in Majapahit waging a war on Singapura as the Majapahit ruler was envious about the growth of Singapura. Wang Dayuan was a Chinese merchant who traveled in this region during the 14th century. He wrote Dao Yi Zhi Lue, a book that has information on Singapore. He claims that Singapura was a busy trading centre in the 1330s and 1340s. Wang Dayuan wrote that many foreigners visited Temasek and there were some Chinese settlers. Singapore exported some unique products like hornbill casques. He also highlighted the problem of piracy in the waters around Singapore. Artefacts like old coins, stoneware and gold ornaments have been unearthed by archaeologists in Singapore. Fragments of blue and white porcelain show that Singapore had links with the Yuan and Ming dynasties. 15th century Vietnamese and Thai porcelain have also been unearthed showing Singapores contacts with Thailand and Vietnam. The old name for Singapore was Temasek. It means sea port. This shows that the information gathered from the various sources about Singapore being a thriving trading centre must be reliable.

Ministry of Education, Singapore Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE)
Past Examination Question (2009-2013)

THE PRIMARY SCHOOL LEAVING EXAMINATION (PSLE) is a national examination taken by all primary school students in Singapore near the end of the sixth year, before they leave for secondary school. It is administered by the Ministry of Education. This nationwide examination tests the English language, mother tongue languages (Chinese, Malay, or Tamil, but pupils can also offer some other South Asian languages too: Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu), Mathematics and Science. Each subject paper is around 2 hours long, with this time varying by fifteen minutes, except for certain components of language subjects. Multiple-choice questions are tested using a standardized optical answer sheet (OAS) that uses optical mark recognition for detecting answers. The PSLEs format and omnipresence in the Singapore education system itself not only make it an examination, but a national culture and system in itself. The PSLE is a culmination of primary education in Singapore, and its format can be found in primary school examinations besides the PSLE itself, even from primary one.
