My ambition is to be a lawyer. My father is a lawyer and I would like to follow in his footsteps. However, unlike my father who is a private lawyer, I would like to be a Public Prosecutor. I want to put criminals behind bars and bring justice to the innocent. I realise it will not be easy putting criminals behind bars. Those big time criminals will of course be able to afford to hire good criminal lawyers. I however, plan to be better than those criminal lawyers.

Becoming a lawyer is not easy. After doing my SPM, I will have to do A-Levels. Later on I will have to study law for the next four years. For my last year I plan to go to England. After coming back from England, I will have to take the CLP examination to be able to practise in Malaysia. I still have a long way to go before I become a lawyer. In order to make sure that my dreams of becoming a lawyer comes true, I have to study diligently. I wait excitedly for the day I will be called to the Bar.

Write a summary on my ambition and the ways to achieve it. Your summary must:

be in continuous writing (not in note form) be written in one paragraph not be more than 60 words, including the 6 words given below.

Use your own words as far as possible without changing its original meaning.

Synopsis

‘Flipping Fantastic’ by Jane Langford is a story about twin brothers and their mother. Tristan is an outstanding, brilliant and a capable boy but James is shy, nervous and lacks confidence. Both of them are about to finish their primary education at Peter Hill Primary soon and plan to begin their new school term in two different schools.

Their mother decides to enrol James in Highfields and Tristan who is physically challenged and wheelchair bound, in a special school (Chesterlea Grange). Both brothers are confused over the thought of being separated as they have never been apart from each other. Since they rely on each other, the twins are concerned about how they are going to cope in their new school environment.

The mother wants the twins to be independent. She is confident that Tristan would be able to cope well at Chesterlea Grange. However, she worries about James and wonders how he is going to manage all alone at Highfields. Tristan changes his mind about Chesterlea Grange, in order to be with James. Besides that, the school is far away from home and he would only be able to see James once a week. On the other hand, James manages to persuade him by reminding him of all the facilities and activities in his new school that Tristan dreamt of.

Knowing James cannot cope himself alone, Tristan calls on their friend Kiara Jones to help James in Highfields.  The twins at last realise that they have made the right decision and their new school environment is flipping fantastic.
