Question 1
Have you ever been influenced by some important person that

helped you be the person that you are today? I have been. The
people that have had influence on me are the most important
e.g begin
humans beings, my family. But before I began talking about my

family, I want to describe to you the place that we spend most of the
time together which also means something important to me and my
family. This place is called the family room. This room is small but
cosy. It is painting in white and has
tree windows decorated with beautiful curtains. By the windows you
can appreciate a nice view of some beauty trees and a nice pool. On
the walls there are some family photos like the ones that show when

that includes a nice stereo and TV, and a new compact computer. But
this is not all, this room have some very comfortable furniture and I
can say that they are comfortable so I use them to watch TV, a
movie, or just sit and rest. Also the furniture is uses by my brothers
to sit and play Nintendo, to study, or play with the computer. But
from all this furniture this is one chair that is the cosiest chair that I
have ever sat upon and that is my father's chair. So this is our room,
which is very important to us and has a lot of special things, but the
most special part of this room is when it brings my family together

Section B
Tunku Abdul Rahman

Prime Minister (19031990)
A Malayan governmental figure since graduating from college, Tunku Abdul Rahman
became his countrys first prime minister and foreign minister after it gained its
independence, continuing in that post when the federation of Malaysia was formed in 1963.
Tunku Abdul Rahman was born February 8, 1903, in Alor Setar, Kedah, in Malaya, a
country then under British control. He was the twentieth child of Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim
Shah and Che Manjalara, the sultans fourth wife. In 1913, he went to study at Debsurin
School in Bangkok, and in 1919, he was awarded a scholarship to further his studies at
Cambridge University. After a lengthy trip from Singapore aboard a cargo ship, during which
he contracted malaria, Tunku disembarked in the village of Little Stukeley, England. He
graduated from Cambridge in 1925 and returned in 1926 for an honours degree in law. He
sat for the bar exam in 1930 but failed to complete a section of the test and therefore did not
pass on this first try.
In 1931, Tunku Abdul Rahman received an appointment as a cadet to the Kedah civil
service and was later an assistant district officer in Kulim. In 1933, he passed the cadet's law
exam on his first attempt, and finally, in 1939, he retook the English bar exam he had failed
nine years before and passed. In 1949, he was called to the bar and was then named
deputy public prosecutor in the Malayan Federal Legal Department, a position he left in 1951
to embark upon a political career.
Abdul Rahman became president of the United Malays National Organization
(UMNO) and spearheaded the alliance between the UMNO and the Malayan Chinese
Association (1951) and that of the UMNO and the Malayan Indian Congress (1955). His
Alliance Party won a sweeping majority in the election of 1955, and Abdul Rahman became
the first chief minister of Malaya. In August, he used his first broadcast as chief minister to
declare his determination in seeking independence from Britain without bloodshed.
In January 1956, Abdul Rahman led a mission to London to negotiate for Malayan
independence, in the end securing immediate self-government for Malaya and the promise
of independence by August 1957. That promise was kept, and Abdul Rahman became
independent Malayas first prime minister (a post he would retain when the Federation of
Malaysia, which consolidated the countries of Malaya, Singapore, Sabah, and Sarawak
under one umbrella, was formed in 1963). At midnight on August 30, he stood at the flagpole
in Merdeka Square, in Kuala Lumpur, when the Union Jack was lowered for the last time and
the new Federation flag was raised.
In September 1970, with his power slipping and Singapore gone from the Federation
for five years, Abdul Rahman relinquished his post as prime minister. He died in 1990 at the
age of 87.
