Words in bolded pink = comments about the homework that you should take note of.

1. Compose an original short story entitled ‘The Frightened Child’.

2. Jealousy.

* You could comment on the plot, characters, themes, style of writing, lesson(s) learnt, etc.

PHRASE BOOK - VOCABULARY

At the end of each book review, write down 20 new words/phrases which you came across in the book. Write down the meaning of each word as used in the context of the book and write down one original sentence for each word to show that you understand the meaning of the word.

You may refer to the dictionary for the meaning of the words but you are NOT to copy the sentences from the book or the dictionary.

Book review: Typed or written (up to you)

Phrase book: Remember to categorize your phrases/words THE SAME WAY YOU CATEGORIZED YOUR OLD PHRASE BOOK. Then write in the words/phrases from the books.

PART III

(2) The traditional roles (Men as breadwinners and women as house-carers) in the family is no longer relevant.
