Question 2
Read the following text. Then, answer questions (a) - (j).

1
 There are many kinds of hobbies that we can spend our time on. There are indoor hobbies and
outdoor hobbies. As for me, I like to go on camping trips during my free time. I usually go with my
father and elder brother on weekends. We have gone camping to many places such as in the forest near
our housing area, near rivers and at several national parks. I usually wear a T-shirt, knee-length
shorts, socks and a good pair of hiking boots.
There are a few important items that my father always reminds us to bring when going on
camping trips. Each of us will bring our own sleeping bag, basic toiletries and a change of clothes.
My father will fill in his knapsack with the first-aid kit while my brother and I will bring torches. An
item that we must not forget is a compass in case we get lost.
If we plan to go camping near a river, my father and brother will bring their fishing rods. They
would spend a couple of hours fishing at the river, while I start a campfire. If they are lucky, they
would catch a fish or two and we would grill them on the campfire. My favourite activity during these
camping trips is sitting around the campfire. We would gather around, drink hot chocolate and just
chat among ourselves. It is good family bonding. Besides that, I also learn to appreciate nature. We
always make sure the campsite is clean before leaving.

Question 4
Read the passage below about Dahlia’s idol.

6
Read the passage carefully and answer questions (a) -(i).

My idol is not a celebrity, a movie star or a singer like most teenagers. My idol is someone who is close
to my heart. She is my guardian angel who has been around since I was born. She took care of me, protected
me from the world and guided me throughout my teenage life.
I still remember when I was little, she adored me so much and would hug and kiss me all the
time. However, as time passed and I grew up, the hugs and kisses were not as frequent as they used
to be. At the beginning, I wondered why. Didn’t she love me anymore? Didn’t she care for me
anymore? Then I realised that she wanted to give me space and to treat me like an adult, as I was
already a teenager by that time. Nonetheless, she never stop loving me and taking care of me when
I was hospitalised for dengue fever; she gave me support and encouragement when I did not win
any chess tournaments; and she lent her shoulder to cry on when I had a tiff with my best friend.
It was from her that I found my passion, that is cooking. When I was little, I used to watch her
cook various dishes for the family. On special occasions like birthdays and festivals, she would go
an extra length in preparing special dishes for relatives and guests. At first, I only sat at the dining
table as I watch her go about the kitchen. As I grew older, she allowed me to help with the peeling,
slicing and cutting. My favourite part was when we prepared the various cookies for Hari Raya. We
would spend hours in the kitchen; mixing batter and kneading dough for the cookies. During these
special moments that I dreamed of becoming a baker and opening my own bakery. She was very
proud and gave full support when I told her of my ambition.
Now, fifteen years later, I am the proud owner of Sweet Delights Bakery. Most of the cookies
in my bakery are secret recipes I learnt from her. Unfortunately, she is not here to celebrate my
success. She drew her last breath a couple of years ago. Grandma, you’ll always be my idol, no
matter where you are.
