SECTION B: HISTORICAL RESEARCH

❖ Search for life history of The King Norodom Sihanouk and his achievements summarily.

Norodom Sihanouk was the only child born of the union between Norodom Suramarit and Sisowath
Kossamak. His parents, who heeded the royal court astrologer's advice that he risked dying at a young age
if he was raised under parental care, placed him under the care of Kossamak's grandmother, Pat. When Pat
died, Kossamak brought Sihanouk to live with his paternal grandfather, Norodom Sutharot. Sutharot
delegated parenting responsibilities to his daughter, Norodom Ket Kanyamom. Sihanouk received his
primary education at the Francois Baudoin school and Nuon Moniram school in Phnom Penh. During this
time, he received financial support from his maternal grandfather, Sisowath Monivong, to head an
amateur performance troupe and soccer team. In 1936 Sihanouk was sent to Saigon, where he pursued his
secondary education at Lycée Chasseloup Laubat, a boarding school.

When the reigning king Monivong died on 23 April 1941, the Governor-General of French Indochina,
Jean Decoux chose Sihanouk to succeed him. Sihanouk's appointment as king was formalised the
following day by the Cambodian crown council, and his coronation ceremony took place on 3 May 1941.
During the Japanese occupation of Cambodia, he dedicated most of his time to sports, filming, and the
occasional tour to the countryside. In March 1945 the Japanese military, which had occupied Cambodia
since August 1941, dissolved the nominal French colonial administration. Under pressure from the
Japanese, Sihanouk proclaimed Cambodia's independence and assumed the position of prime minister
while serving as king at the same time.

As prime minister, Sihanouk revoked a decree issued by the last resident superior of Cambodia,
Georges Gautier, to romanise the Khmer alphabet. Following the Surrender of Japan in August 1945,
nationalist forces loyal to Son Ngoc Thanh launched a coup, which led to Thanh becoming prime minister.
When the French returned to Cambodia in October 1945, Thanh was dismissed and replaced by
Sihanouk's uncle Sisowath Monireth. Monireth negotiated for greater autonomy in managing Cambodia's

Norton University Core English 2

internal affairs. A Modus Vivendi was signed in January 1946 whereby Cambodia was granted full
autonomy within the French Union. A joint French-Cambodian commission was set up after that to draft
Cambodia's constitution, and in April 1946, Sihanouk introduced clauses which provided for an elected
parliament on the basis of universal male suffrage as well as press freedom. The first constitution was
signed into effect by Sihanouk in May 1947. Around this time, Sihanouk made two trips to Saumur,
France where he attended military training at the Armoured Cavalry Branch Training School in 1946, and
again in 1948. He was made a reserve captain for the French army.

Sihanouk in his coronation regalia, November 1941

In early 1949 Sihanouk traveled to Paris with his parents to negotiate with the French government for
more autonomy over Cambodia. The Modus Vivendi was replaced by a new Franco-Khmer treaty, which
recognised Cambodia as "independent" within the French Union. In practice, the treaty granted only
limited self-rule to Cambodia. While Cambodia was given free rein in managing its foreign ministry and
to a lesser extent, its defence, most of the other ministries remained under French control. Meanwhile,
dissenting legislators from the national assembly started attacking the government led by prime minister
Penn Nouth over its failure to resolve deepening financial and corruption problems plaguing the country.
The dissenting legislators, led by Yem Sambaur, who had defected from the Democrat party in November
1948, deposed Penn Nouth. Yem Sambaur replaced him, but his appointment did not sit well with the
Democrats, who in turn pressured Sihanouk to dissolve the national assembly and hold elections.

Sihanouk, who by now had tired of the political squabbling, dissolved the assembly in September 1949,
but opted to rule by decree for the next two years before general elections were held, which the Democrats
won. In October 1951 Thanh returned to Cambodia and was received by 100,000 supporters, a spectacle
which Sihanouk saw as an affront to his regal authority. Thanh disappeared six months later, presumably
to join the Khmer Issarak. Sihanouk ordered the Democrat-led government to arrest Thanh but was
ignored. Subsequently, civil demonstrations rallying against the monarchy and the French broke out in the
countryside, alarming Sihanouk, who began to suspect that the Democrats had played a complicit role in
them. In June 1952 Sihanouk dismissed the Democrat nominee Huy Kanthoul and made himself prime
minister. A few days later, Sihanouk privately confided in exasperation to the US chargéd'affaires,
Thomas Gardiner Corcoran, that parliamentary democracy was unsuitable for Cambodia.

Norton University Core English 2
College of Arts, Humanities, and Languages Year II, Semester II

In January 1952 Sihanouk re-appointed Penn Nouth as prime minister before leaving for France.
Once there, Sihanouk wrote to French president Vincent Auriol requesting that he grant Cambodia full
independence, citing widespread anti-French sentiment among the Cambodian populace. Auriol deferred
Sihanouk's request to the French commissioner for overseas territories, Jean Letourneau, who promptly
rejected it. Subsequently, Sihanouk traveled to Canada and the United States, where he gave radio
interviews to present his case. He took advantage of the prevailing anti-communist sentiment in those
countries, arguing that Cambodia faced a Communist threat similar to that of the Viet Minh in Vietnam,
and that the solution was to grant full independence to Cambodia. Sihanouk returned to Cambodia in June
1953, taking up residence in Siem Reap. He organised public rallies calling for Cambodians to fight for
independence, and formed a citizenry militia which attracted about 130,000 recruits.

In August 1953 France agreed to cede control over judicial and interior affairs to Cambodia, and
subsequently the defense ministry as well in October 1953. At the end of the month, Sihanouk went to
Phnom Penh, where he declared Cambodia's independence from France on 9 November 1953. In May
1954 Sihanouk sent two of his cabinet ministers, Nhiek Tioulong and Tep Phan, to represent Cambodia at
the Geneva Conference. The agreements signed for Cambodia affirmed the country's independence and
allowed it to seek military aid from any country without restrictions. At the same time, Sihanouk's
relations with the governing Democrat party remained strained, as they were wary of his growing
influence in politics. To counter Democrat opposition, Sihanouk held a national referendum to gauge
public approval for his efforts to seek national independence. While the results showed 99.8 percent
approval, Australian historian Milton Osborne noted that open balloting was carried out and voters were
cowed into casting an approval vote under police surveillance.

SECTION C : TRANSLATION
❖ Translate the reading text in Unit 7 (The Curse of Tutankhamen’s Tomb) into your own language.

Howard Carter, perhaps the most famous archaeologist of all time, started out as an artist

and in 1891 he set off for Egypt to paint the pyramids. However, he soon became Head Inspector

of Upper Egypt Monuments.

In 1908 he met Lord Carnarvon; who ut up the money for Carter’s biggest dream- the

search for Tutankhamen’s tomb. However, in 1922 Carnarvon wanted to call off the expedition.

He was beginning to believe the tomb would never be found Carter talked him into continuing the

search and on 4 November, 1922 Carter’s hard work paid off. Finally, he stood at the entrance to

the tomb.

With the discovery came stories of a curse. Above the entrance to the tomb Carter came

across an inscription- ‘Death Shall Come on Swift Wings To Him Who Disturbs the Peach of the

King. A few months later Carnarvon passed away after being bitten by an insect.

At exactly the same time as he died all the lights in Cairo went out. It was the first of

several mysterious deaths tied in with the discovery of the tomb

I. Uses
1. We use “Will” to express a voluntary action

"Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the
speaker offers to do for someone else. Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's complaint
or request for help. We also use "will" when we request that someone help us or volunteer to do
something for us. Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to voluntarily do
something.

Ex: I will send you the information when I get it.

I will translate the email, so Mr. Smith can read it.

Will you help me move this heavy table?

Will you make dinner?

I’ll not do your homework for you.

I won’t do all the housework myself!

2. We use “Will” to express a promise

"Will" is usually used in promises.

Ex: I will call you when I arrive.

I promise I will not tell him about surprise party.

Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.

I won’t tell anyone your secret.

3. “Be going to” to express a plan

"Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to
do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is realistic or not.

Ex: He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii.

She’s not going to spend her vacation in Hawaii.

I. Uses

1. Interrupted Action in the Future

Use the future continuous to indicate that a longer action in the future will be interrupted by
a shorter action in the future. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption
in time.
Ex: I will be watching TV when she arrives tonight.
I will be waiting for you when your bus arrives.
I am going to be staying at Madison if anything happens and you need to contact me.
He will be studying at the library tonight, so he will not see Jennifer when she arrives.
2. Specific Time as an Interruption in the Future

In USE 1, described above, the future continuous is interrupted by a short action in the
future. In addition to using short actions as interruptions, you can also use a specific time as
an interruption

Ex: Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to be eating dinner.

(I will be in the process of eating dinner.)
At midnight tonight, we will still be driving through the desert.
(We will be in the process of driving though the desert.)

3. Parallel Actions in the Future

When you use the future continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the
idea that both actions will be happening at the same time. The actions are parallel.

Ex: I am going to be studying and he is going to be making dinner.

Tonight, they will be eating dinner, discussing their plans, and having a good time.
When Ellen is reading, Tim will be watching television.
4. Atmosphere in the Future

In English, we often use a series of Parallel Actions to describe atmosphere at a specific

point in the future.
Ex: When I arrive at the party, everybody is going to be celebrating. Some will be
dancing. Others are going to be talking. A few people will be eating pizza, and several
people are going to be drinking beer. They always do the same thing.

SECTION E: WRITING
❖ Write a paragraph about 150-200 words with the topic: My favorite place

Everyone has their own favorite place according to their feeling some people like a quiet place or
exciting destination according to their favorite. But now I want to share something of my place and it was
Angkor Wat where it’s located in Siem Reap province. Many people mostly spend there for a week to
visit all those temples, but I went there during Chinese New Year so I only have 3 days to visit. On the
first day, I went through to Cultural Village which it is open on Saturday and Sunday, but how lucky I am
that I arrived there on Saturday and we only spent little money to enter and there are lot of amazing
artifacts, traditional shows and the horrible ghost house after we enjoy there and we came back to hotel.
On the second day, we continue to Angkor Thom to reach the top of it to see how amazing it is and some
foreigners feel amaze when they heard the history of Angkor Thom from guide. From Angkor Thom to
Bayon temple is a bit far so we need to go there by Tuk Tuk, in Bayon temple on the inscription shows
about how Khmer people live and fight against nearby country. On the last day, we went to Tonle Sap ride
on the boat and enjoy the stunning view and many people live on the boat; market and school are also on
the boat, so people there always use boat as their transportation after we left Siem Reap, we feel like we
left a paradise and one day we’ll visit there again.
