 For those sending a printed file, cross the box/es for your answer.
 For those sending a handwritten file, write your answers only.

A B C D E F Statement
1) I remember that horrifying night: our bahay kubo was at the
mercy of the typhoon. Winds were wailing like eerie
ghosts, thunder was shaking the ground with its boom, the
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
nearby karayan was heavily roaring in torrent, and doors
and windows slightly clapped as the kubo fought hard to
stay anchored.
2) Once upon a time, where Magic is at now stood Imelda
Garden at the heart of Agoo. Although he ground looked
like a broken floor tiling of ground, grass, and granite
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
stepping stones, friendships, romance, and flowers
blossomed at the lush green peripheries. So many smiles
were present that the sun went shy from shining.
3) I rarely get to see my advisory class in the afternoon. But
whenever I drop by, I pick up three things. Girls had the
aromas of newly opened citrus fruits or a hundred dama
de noches in a cold December evening. Boys had the
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
musk of warriors who just came home from battling the evil
forces of Thanos. The classroom had the unmistakable
undisposed garbage odor mixed in the air. It was a strange
concoction.
4) She gave me a treat: a smooth scoop of ube ice cream
flavor exploded in my mouth. At the creamy pool of milk
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ swam slightly burnt bananas. The pinipig and shaved ice
crumbled like sweet, crunchy snowflakes as it touched my
sucker-for- sweets tongue.
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ 5) As I laid down, the cotton sheets made contact. My head
slowly sank in the comfy pillow. My bed must’ve
recognized me after months of being away. It embraced
me with the warmth and fuzz of its blanket that had always
tucked me in to sleep.
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ 6) He was in the middle of the room then. His fingers danced
around the ebony and ivory keys of the piano. His head
 rocked back and forth, left and right as he the sound
hypnotized him. He silently mouthed the lyrics of the song
he was playing. His fingers were then petrified, his
shoulders stiffened, and everything was still before he
faced towards my direction.
7) Could you believe it? One town in Benguet had houses
looking like disassembled and suspended in air rubik’s
cube pieces. As I passed by, the sky met the mountain of
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
colorful and towering residences. For a moment I thought
that that might be what the end of a rainbow looked like in
solid state.
8) It was an ordinary day. The electric fan incessantly buzzed,
not stopping to take a breath. Somewhere in the corner of
the house, “An enemy has been slain!” echoed within a
room. The kitchen kept hissing as something touched what
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
I assumed was a sizzling pan. A speaker blasted the
house with a TikTok groove playing “Oops, I got 99
problems singing bye bye bye, hold up…” Nothing but your
typical quarantine symphony of boredom.
9) You get to miss them sometime. I can only hope that I’d
get a chance again as Freedom would stand from his seat.
Will would catch my attention by rotating his seat back to
alignment. Ian, Jabez, Maria, Isabel, Ysabel, and Mae
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ would shoot their hands up when they’re feeling confident
to answer. Marie, Crisa, and Milton’s eyes would skate
across the room wherever I’d go. The others would turn
their head towards their seatmates – probably asking what
they would get for recess.
10) That candy surely packed a punch. At first, its hard shell
bombards your taste buds with citric sourness. Then, the
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ flavor would mix with sweetness as if an unripe mango just
became a marakunig in your mouth. Finally, it mellows
down to a synthetic sweet bubblegum.
