(v) A sender needs feedback to know if the message was received and understood [2]
correctly. It helps improve communication.

SECTION B

Question 4
(i) Stress is your body's natural reaction to any demand or challenge. It happens when [5]
you feel worried, pressured, or overwhelmed by something. Stress can make your
heart beat faster, make you feel tense, or make it hard to focus. Some stress is normal
and can help you stay alert, but too much stress can be harmful.
1. Identify Stressors: The first step to managing stress is recognizing what
causes it. Keep a journal or note when you feel stressed and what triggered it.
This awareness can help you anticipate and plan how to deal with stressful
situations.
2. Practice Relaxation Techniques: Techniques such as deep breathing
exercises, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, or mindfulness can calm
your mind and reduce physical symptoms of stress. Regular practice can make
you more resilient when stress occurs.

T26 751 – SPECIMEN 2 of 12

Page 14

3. Exercise Regularly: Physical activity helps reduce stress hormones and
triggers the release of endorphins, chemicals that improve mood. Even a daily
30-minute walk can make a big difference.
4. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep,
and avoiding excessive caffeine or alcohol can strengthen your body’s ability
to cope with stress.
5. Time Management: Organize your tasks, set priorities, and break large
projects into smaller steps. Effective planning can prevent last-minute rushes
and reduce feelings of being overwhelmed.
6. Build Strong Social Support: Talking to friends, family, or support groups
can provide emotional comfort and practical help. Sometimes just sharing your
feelings can lighten your stress load.
7. Set Realistic Goals and Expectations: Don’t try to do everything perfectly
or take on more than you can handle. Learn to say no and delegate tasks when
possible.
8. Develop Healthy Coping Skills: Engage in hobbies, creative activities, or
other enjoyable pursuits that distract from stress. Avoid negative coping
behaviours like smoking, overeating, or substance abuse, which may worsen
stress in the long run.
9. Seek Professional Help if Needed: If stress becomes unmanageable, causing
anxiety or depression, consulting a mental health professional like a counsellor
or therapist can be very beneficial.
(Any five)

(ii) SMART Method to Set Goals: [5]
The SMART method is a widely used framework for setting effective and
achievable goals, especially in sports. It ensures that athletes set goals that are clear,
realistic, and motivating. SMART stands for:
S – Specific: Goals should be clear and well-defined. Instead of saying “I want to
be better at basketball,” a specific goal would be “I want to improve my free throw
percentage by 10%.”
M – Measurable: Progress should be trackable. Measurable goals help athletes
know when they’ve achieved success. For example, “Run 5 kilometres in under 25
minutes.”
A – Achievable: Goals should be challenging but realistic, based on the athlete’s
current abilities. Setting overly ambitious goals can lead to frustration and burnout.
R – Relevant: The goal must be meaningful and aligned with the athlete’s personal
or team objectives. A swimmer focusing on sprint events should not set a goal
related to long-distance performance unless it supports their main focus.
T – Time-bound: Every goal needs a deadline to create urgency and focus. For
instance, “Increase my bench press by 10 kg in 8 weeks.”

T26 751 – SPECIMEN 3 of 12

Page 15

(iii) (a) 1. Install Antivirus Software: Antivirus software detects and removes [2+3]
viruses, malware, and spyware. Keeping it updated ensures better
protection.
2. Use Strong Passwords: Use passwords that are hard to guess. A strong
password includes letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and
special characters.
3. Enable a Firewall: A firewall acts as a barrier between your computer
and external threats. It blocks suspicious activity and prevents
unauthorized access.
4. Regular Software Updates: Always keep your operating system,
antivirus, and software updated. Updates often fix security holes that can
be exploited by hackers.
5. Backup Your Data: Keep copies of your important files on external hard
drives or cloud storage. This helps you recover your data in case of theft
or virus attacks.
6. Avoid Suspicious Emails and Links: Do not open emails or click on
links from unknown sources. They may contain harmful viruses or
phishing attempts.
7. Use Encryption: Encrypting your data ensures that even if someone gets
access to your files, they won’t be able to read them without a password.
8. Secure Wi-Fi Networks: Use a password-protected Wi-Fi connection to
prevent unauthorized users from accessing your data.
(Any two)

(b) Non-verbal communication is the way we send messages and express
ourselves without using words. It includes body language, facial expressions,
gestures, posture, eye contact, and tone of voice. Sometimes, non-verbal
signals are stronger than spoken words.
Types of Non-Verbal Communication with Examples:
1. Facial Expressions: The face shows emotions like happiness, sadness,
anger, and surprise.
Example: A smile shows friendliness, while a frown may show
displeasure.
2. Gestures: Movements of hands and arms to express thoughts.
Example: Nodding your head to say “yes” or waving your hand to say
“hello.
3. Posture: The way you stand or sit can show confidence or nervousness.
Example: Standing tall with shoulders back shows confidence, while
slouching may show lack of interest.
4. Eye Contact: Making eye contact shows attention and honesty.
Example: Looking someone in the eye during a conversation shows you
are listening and interested.
5. Body Movements: Movements like shaking legs or tapping fingers can
show nervousness or impatience.
Example: Crossing arms may show defensiveness or disagreement.

T26 751 – SPECIMEN 4 of 12

Page 16

6. Tone of Voice: How something is said can change the meaning of words.
Example: Saying “I’m fine” in a sad tone may actually mean the person
is not fine.
(Any two)

Question 5
(i) Selection of right sports equipment is very important. It helps players play better [5]
and stay safe. Here are the main things to think about when selecting equipment:
1. Type of Sport: Different sports need different equipment.
Example: Football needs a ball and shoes with studs.
Cricket needs a bat, ball, pads, and helmet.
2. Age and Skill Level: Younger or new players need lighter and easier
equipment. Professional players use advanced equipment.
Example: A child uses a smaller bat than an adult.
3. Safety: Some equipment keeps players safe.
Example: Helmets, gloves, pads, and guards.
4. Quality and Durability: Good quality equipment lasts longer and works
better.
5. Cost or Budget: Some equipment is expensive. People choose based on how
much money they can spend.
6. Rules of the Game: Equipment must follow the rules of the sport.
Example: The size of a cricket bat must follow official rules.
7. Place of Play: Where you play (indoor or outdoor) also matters.
Example: Different shoes for grass and for hard ground.
8. Comfort and Fit: The equipment should feel good and fit well.
Example: Shoes that fit properly help you run better.
9. New Technology: Some equipment has new features that help improve your
game.
Example: Lightweight rackets or smart watches to track fitness.
10. Coach Advice: Coaches can help you choose the best equipment for your
needs.
Conclusion: Right equipment helps you play better and stay safe. Always choose
what fits your sport, age, skill, and comfort.
(Any five)

(ii) To keep a place safe, we must check for any risks. Here’s how I would do a physical [5]
security risk assessment:
1. Know What to Protect: First, I will make a list of important things like
people, buildings, machines, and documents.

T26 751 – SPECIMEN 5 of 12

Page 17

2. Find the Dangers: Then, I will think about what could go wrong – like theft,
fire, break-ins, or accidents.
3. Check Weak Areas: I will look for areas that are not safe – like broken doors,
no cameras, or dark places.
4. See What Security Is There: I will check what safety systems are already in
place – such as guards, cameras, lights, or alarms.
5. Decide the Risk Level: I will think about how big each risk is and how likely
it is to happen.
6. Suggest Better Safety Steps: I will give ideas to fix the weak points – like
adding locks, more lights, training staff, or improving emergency plans.
7. Write a Simple Plan: I will make a clear and simple plan to follow for safety.
(Any five)

(iii) A successful entrepreneur is someone who starts and grows a business by using [5]
smart ideas and hard work. To become successful, an entrepreneur needs some
special qualities. Here are five important ones:
1. Confidence: A good entrepreneur believes in themselves and their ideas. They
are not afraid to take risks or face problems. Confidence helps them take the
first step and keep going even when things get tough.
Example: If their first business idea fails, they still try again with a new one.
2. Hardworking: Success does not come overnight. Entrepreneurs work long
hours and do not give up easily. They keep trying until they reach their goal.
Example: They may work late nights or weekends to complete their business
tasks.
3. Creativity: Entrepreneurs think of new and smart ideas to solve problems or
make life easier. They often start businesses with fresh ideas that no one has
tried before.
Example: Creating a mobile app that helps people order food quickly.
4. Decision-Making Skills: Entrepreneurs have to make many decisions every
day, like hiring workers, buying materials, or choosing products. Good
decision-making helps the business grow.
Example: Choosing the right place to open a new shop.
5. Leadership: An entrepreneur is also a leader. They guide their team, motivate
them, and help them do better. A good leader keeps everyone working together
and focused on goals.
Example: Leading a team to complete a project on time.
To be a successful entrepreneur, a person must be confident, hardworking, creative,
a good decision-maker, and a strong leader. These qualities help them face
challenges and grow a successful business.

Question 6
(i) Free play refers to unstructured, spontaneous, and self-directed play where children [5]
choose their own activities without adult direction. It typically involves
imagination, creativity, and physical or social interaction.
Two Advantages of Free Play:
1. Promotes Creativity and Imagination: Children invent games, scenarios,
and rules, helping develop their creativity and problem-solving skills.
2. Enhances Social Skills: During free play with others, children learn to
cooperate, negotiate, and resolve conflicts, fostering strong social
development.
Two Disadvantages of Free Play:
1. Lack of Structure May Lead to Risky Behaviour: Without adult
supervision, children might engage in unsafe or inappropriate activities.
2. Unequal Participation: Some children may dominate play, while others may
feel excluded or unsure of how to join in, leading to social imbalance.

(ii) A social entrepreneur is a person who pursues innovative solutions to social [5]
problems. They use entrepreneurial principles to develop, fund, and implement
solutions that directly improve society. These individuals are often seen as change-
makers in their communities and beyond.
Characteristics of Social Entrepreneurship:
1. Mission-Driven: The central focus is to create social impact rather than
maximize profits.
2. Innovation: Social entrepreneurs think creatively to find unique solutions to
complex social issues.
3. Sustainability: Social enterprises aim to be financially self-sufficient, often
reinvesting profits into their mission.
4. Measurable Impact: Success is measured not just by financial returns, but by
the extent of social change created.

(iii) Activities conducted by Early Years Physical Activity Facilitator: [5]
• Gross Motor Activities: Obstacle courses, running games, ball games,
climbing.
• Fine Motor Activities: Threading beads, playdough, drawing building blocks.
• Movement and Dance: Action songs, creative movement, simple dance
routines.

development, promote positive attitude toward physical activity.)
(Any five)

Question 7
(i) The natural environment and artificial environment are two distinct types of [5]
surroundings that have different characteristics.
Natural Environment
The natural environment refers to the physical surroundings that occur naturally on
Earth, including:
1. Landscapes (forests, mountains, deserts)
2. Water bodies (oceans, rivers, lakes)
3. Atmosphere (air, weather, climate)
4. Living organisms (plants, animals, microorganisms)
Artificial Environment
The artificial environment, on the other hand, refers to the surroundings that are
created by humans, including:
1. Built structures (buildings, roads, bridges)
2. Urban areas (cities, towns)
3. Agricultural environments (farms, gardens)
4. Indoor environments (homes, offices)

(ii) Clean water and good sanitation are very important for building a better and [5]
healthier world. Here's why they matter for sustainable development:
1. Good Health: Clean water helps prevent diseases like diarrhoea and cholera.
When people have clean water to drink and good toilets to use, they stay
healthier.
2. More Time for School and Work: In many places, people, especially women
and children, spend hours collecting water. If clean water is nearby, they can
use that time to go to school or work instead.
3. Better Education: Schools with clean toilets and water help children stay in
school, especially girls who may miss school during their periods if there are
no proper facilities.
4. Protects the Environment: When toilets and waste are managed properly, it
keeps rivers, lakes, and land clean. This helps nature and wildlife too.
5. Fights Poverty: Healthy people can work and earn money. Clean water and
toilets help families save money on medicine and stay strong enough to work.
6. Prepares for the Future: Managing water wisely helps us deal with problems
like droughts and floods caused by climate change.
(Any five)

(iii) Five primary goals of sustainability are: [5]
1. Environmental protection
2. Economic growth
3. Social development
4. Efficient use of resource
5. Preservation of biodiversity
Explanation of Two Goals:
1. Environmental Protection: This goal focuses on keeping our air, water, and
land clean and safe. It includes reducing pollution, fighting climate change,
and protecting forests, oceans, and wildlife. A healthy environment is essential
for people to live well now and in the future.
2. Economic Growth: Sustainability supports growing the economy in a way
that creates jobs and improves lives, without harming the environment. It
means using resources wisely so that businesses and communities can thrive
long-term, not just for short-term profit.
3. Social development: Social development is the process of improving the well-
being of every individual in society so they can reach their full potential. It
focuses on creating conditions that allow people to lead healthy, productive,
and meaningful lives.
4. Efficient Use of Resources: Efficient use of resources means using natural
materials like water, energy, minerals, and raw materials in a way that
maximizes their value, reduces waste, and minimizes environmental impact.
5. Preservation of biodiversity: Prevention of biodiversity loss refers to the
actions and strategies taken to protect and preserve the variety of life forms on
Earth—including animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms and their natural
habitats.
