TEXT 1

In this story, Dora Ward remembers how, as a little girl, she was given a very special

Christmas present.

My family wasnt used to hard times. Daddy had been an assistant postmaster,

and we had lived comfortably. But, after loosing his position, Daddy had to take what

jobs he could get. He lost his savings, our home was sold, and we moved into a

dilapidated house on a dirt road.

Mama! I called, one winter afternoon, as I ran into the house. We wrote letters

to Santa Claus today! Look mine.

Mama hugged me, then read my letter. It is short because there was only one

thing I wanted. She took a long time to read it. I bet a lot of little girls want a Shirley

Temple doll, Mama finally said. If there arent enough to go around, Im sure youll get

a doll youll like just as so much.

It was our custom to have Christmas before anyone was permitted to open their

presents. At last, we finished, and I tore into the living room with only one thought. I

stopped short when I saw a doll leaning stiffly against the arm of our couch. I moved

closer. The doll was the right size, but she had no golden curls framing her face. A

chipped spot on one hand had been painted over. I picked her up awkwardly, as if she

had been put in my house by mistake. Frantically I scanned the room, my eyes filming

with tears. There was no Shirley Temple anyway.

Unable to hold back my sobs, I ran to my bedroom, where I threw the doll into

chair and fell across my bed. Mama was right behind me. Sit up, Dora, she

commanded.

Why, Mama? I asked. Why did get this doll instead of the only dolly in the world

that I really want?

For some time I had suspected Santa was not real, and Mamas next words

confirmed this.

We couldnt afford the doll you wanted, Dora. So we dressed up a second-hand

one to be just as pretty. I studied the dolls blue print dress with buttons down the front.

Her shoes were fancy white snap-ons, her socks trimmed lace. A black-and-white knit

sweater with cap to match topped of the outfit.

Mama put her arms around me. Your brother, Len, had been saving to buy a

radio, but he decided to use that money for the dolls clothes. Betty spent hours to

knitting, and Annie sewed on the lace. Look! Even the underwear has lace on it!

They did all that for me?


6/23

We love you, Dora. And your love for us is the sweetest of all because you give

it so naturally. Remember when Betty got a free perm at the beauty school and it came

out frizzy? You told her she still the prettiest girl in town. One day, when Annie was

lonely, you told her she was your favorite friend. And the way you rush into Lens arms

when he comes from work Now thats love. You are able to love because you are

loved.

Mama watched me snap and unsnap the doll shoes. Now Im going to ask you

to give the nicest gift you can give them, she said. Put aside your disappointment.

Make them believe you are grateful for the doll and all their hard work. She reached

over to take my hand.

Bravely, I marched back to the living room.

The tree shone in the middle of the room, my family all around it. My brother ran

his fingers over a pair of new socks. I thought of the radio that he wasnt going to get. I

remembered how Betty had taken me to the beach an awful lot that summer, instead of

going with her latest boyfriend, of the times Annie had let me tag along with her and her

friends, the endless piggyback rides Daddy gave me

Daddy reached up to fix an ornament on the tree. He must have felt me staring

and looked over his shoulder. His blue eyes seemed unusually tired as he turned and

softly smiled. Hey, Honeybun, he said. Weve been waiting for you.

I wiped my eyes. Thank you for the doll! I blurted, running to Daddys arms.

Shell always be my favorite. Suddenly we were all mingled around the tree, kissing

and hugging. I hadnt hard to make-believe after all.

Eventually, things got better for Daddy and my family, but that Christmas I

received a gift of inestimable value. I learned Christmas is not about presents or Santa,

but about love, the greatest gift of all.

TEXT 2

The boarders who had parent were busy preparing to go home, while we

orphans got ready our belongings for inspection. We were allowed a week in which to

get our bits and pieces together and we spent a great deal of time ironing and mending.

Then, on the appointed morning, we took our suitcases and all we possessed to the

play hall which was in the main building and there we spread everything out on the floor.

Miss Lane and Miss Kilgour began the inspection from the senior students downwards

and each article was carefully examined, the torn clothing condemned, the suitable and

usable ones passed from one to the other. A list of each students clothes was kept by

Miss Lane and when there was nothing, she could find to fit a particular girl, new clothes

had to be brought.

With sixty cent pocket money a month, it was rather difficult to save. I, for

instance, was always tempted to buy sweets and ice-cream and yet there were soap

and toilet articles and shoe polished to be brought. One of the boarders, a good friend

of mine, was rather rich and she found washing and ironing very tiresome. I helped to

clean her shoes and do her washing and ironing. In return, she gave me one dollar a

month, with which the matron was able to buy a pretty new red Chinese suit for me.

We orphans did not like school holidays because then we were very lonely; most

of the boarders went home and only a handful of us remained. It was always during

school holidays that I thought of my parents most; perhaps it was when I saw the

boarders go away with their parents that I felt most lost, unwanted and homeless.


9/23

I remember that one such holiday fell on a Chinese New Year, and that the

thoughts of all of us went back to those happy New Years, which we had spent with our

parents, but we pretended to be happy all the same. As usual, during school vacations,

there was not much to do and Miss Lane, realising this, sent a few yards of calico for us

to sew. Looking at the material, someone remarked: This is used only for mourning.

However, we cut it up and, before beginning to sew, I suggested that we should play a

funeral game. We pretended that it was my fathers funeral and we each tied a piece

of the material round our heads as chief mourners do and pretended to cry. As orphans,

we had all known some such tragedy in our homes so, of course, this brought sad

memories back to us and, from being a mere game, it turned into a truly tragic scene

when we all started wailing loudly. Miss Lane, hearing this, came to investigate. The

scene must have touched her; girls were sobbing on the floor; some rested theirs heads

on tables, others just stood; even the matron, who accompanied Miss Lane, wept. The

wise principal said nothing but gathered up the material and told the matron to take us

for a walk. We felt terribly ashamed.


10/23

One evening we went to bed early and suddenly, in the dead of night, someone

screamed. I knew that voice, the light switch was near my bed but my courage had

gone. I covered my self with my blanket and sank deeper into bed. No one stirred in the

room; the scream came again, louder and more terrifying. Someone shouted: Janet,

switch on the light quickly! When I heard my name, it seemed to give me courage. I

switched on the light and all the boarders sat up in theirs beds. The girl opposite me

was sobbing and, between her sob, she said: There was a man in my bed. We were

shocked and horrified. The missionaries must have heard the scream for they were

soon with us. Miss Lane wore a long nightgown and her hair was loose. At that point we

were more interested in Miss Lanes appearance than in the man. She look younger

and even kinder like this. The police were informed and men were posted in every

corner of the building but the intruder was not caught. We were unhappy and terrified,

and dreaded the time when darkness would come.

TEXT 3

In this account, a former drug addict, recalls how he become hooked on drugs.

Andrew was waiting for me at the prison gates, said Samuel. If he hadnt been

there, I would probably be on Death Row today. 15 years of my life- the best years- all

wasted on drugs. He sighed mournfully over the loss of those years. I was 20 when it

began and 35 when I stopped.

Samuel grew up in a large Indian family, the fourth of six boys and five girls. His

parents were happily married, although his father suffered from an inferiority complex

causing him to stammer, an impediment which Samuel inherited. In this close and

rather boisterous family, he grew up a shy boy, rarely venturing to express an opinion in

case he was laughed at.

Failing his From Five examination, Samuel joined the Royal Malaysian Air Force

(RMAF) at 18, and immediately felt an affinity with his job as a trainee radar operator.

He enjoyed his work, did well, and was sent for a years training in Darwin.

On his return, he was posted to Butterworth. Work was fine- but what does a 20-

year-old young man do in the evenings? Stay on the base and read? Watch television?

Why dont we go to Penang? he and his friend felt sure there would be something

going on over on the island, and they began to go regularly. His friend introduced him

to two other friends but, unknown to Samuel, they were drug pushers.


12/23

12

A cigarette was offered in the friendliest of gestures, and Samuel, used to smoking

though never to excess, innocently accepted it. But this cigarette was different- it was

spiked with marijuana. (one tube of marijuana may be spiked into three or four

cigarettes.) the effect on Samuel was immediate. Not only did he feel good, but his

stammering tongue was loosened, and his fear of being failure in a crowd evaporated.

He found himself chatting and laughing freely with his new friends in a way he had

never been able to before. A whole hour passed thus and Samuel felt elated and happy.

He was a social success after all! But now the truth come out- there was something in

the cigarette. Recklessly Samuel paid RM3 and bought a tube. After the first

exhilarating hour, however, Samuel realized he was reverting to his normal self- the flow

of chatter began too dry up and he became silent and ill at ease. As the hours wore on,

the realization swept over him with increasing tension that not only had he returned to

normal- he was now feeling shyer and even more inadequate. He smoked a second

cigarette.


13/23

13

In the days following, he found he needed a whole tube daily, and after two

weeks he had come to the end of his money. Disillusioned and miserable, he wandered

along the beach wondering what had happened to him. His friend found him and

explained that the way he felt was due to the drugs he was taking. There was no doubt

about it, he was an addict. But I can stop any time I want to! he cried, the familiar and

self-deceiving cry of every drug addict.

Samuels pay was soon insufficient to support his habit and he began to do some

careful thinking. He thought out a plan which worked very well for a whole year. As soon

as he received his pay, he went across to Penang and bought a packet of marijuana for

RM60. This he converted into 100 tubes which he sold for RM3 each but half of this

amount he needed for his own consumption. Samuel had become a pusher. Only later,

much later- 15 years later in fact- would he fully appreciate, with profound regret, the

harm he had done to others. But a man on drugs has no concern for anyone except

himself. The driving force above all others is How and where can I get the next fix? In

next to no time at all his friends were also hooked, and everyone knew Samuel was the

source of the supply. It was only a question of time before he was caught.

Answer

COURSE WORK 2

i. My personal respons from 3 texts are given

In the three text I have read, I found a comman theme. The comman theme is

love. The definition of love from verb transitive is to become more equal with something

due to understanding. From noun, love is the process of equalization through

understanding and the condition of felling something to be extraordinary intimate to

oneself, is an end state to love as a process. As I seen, the primary definition of love

what I want conclude is considered an emotion or an action. Note that is specifically

excludes equalization through a vehicle other than understanding, and also excludes

understanding without achieving equalization.

Now, my first personal response from the text given. From what Im reading in

text 1, I thought the theme from this text is family love. Love between the main character

and her friends. The characters name are Dora Ward. She is a little girl who wished for

a doll from Santa Claus on Christmas. The conflict is when Dora Wards dream did not

come true and her wishes are unfulfilled. She sad but when she know the truth, she

realize that love from her family are more important from other. The moral value is love

brings absolute satisfaction and happiness.


15/23

15

For the next text, the theme is more to friends love. Friends love meaning that u

and your friend circle which born from the need and makes a part of heart to bound us

together in the main character situation. Janet are an orphan who stay in an orphanage

with her friends. Janet dont have a parents, siblings or relatives. The conflict is Janet

wishes having own family and longing for parental love. In the end from this text story,

we get the lesson is friendship also meaningful in our life when we dont have no one.

Sometimes friends love can give a way replace familys love .

The theme from the third text is also friends love. But this love make a different

presence. For this text situation, the friend must have a kind heart and slow talk person.

This is the strongest fell and dedications from one toward others. The character is

Samuel and his friends name are Andrew. Samuel grew up in a large Indian family. He

is RMAF soldier. He also a former drug addict and pusher. The conflict from this text are

when Samuel try smoking the different types of cigarette, it was added with marijuana.

Samuel become a drug addict and at last, he was caught by police and after that he

was into the jail. The moral value is we can trust our new friend and a friend in need is a

friend indeed.


16/23

16

The conclusion from the text given that I get is love is the more important things

in our life because we cant life if we dont have love in our heart. Then, love does not

exist in a vacuum, and influence from cultural and circumstantial forces will cause its

manifestation to differ in any scenario. The last but not the least, I conclude that we

must appreciate any kind of love that we have.

ii. Reflection

From this work, what I get from prepare for the Oral Presentation and Writing

Assignment is I can improve my English language. Before this, my language quite
