Read the diary entry and answer questions 25 to 34.
Aiman got me a new phone case. That was a surprise. He always bought
me the usual chocolate bar as he constantly had the same excuse, he is broke! I
really like the case as it glows in the dark. So, you don’t need to switch on the
lights to find your phone and we can save the electricity. Aiman always knew that I
keep on misplacing things.
Song and Ina, my best friends, bought me a diary. That will come in useful
soon. Anyway, there’s not much space left in this one.
My favourite present is the set of six corner bookmarks that Devi made
herself. To make the bookmark, she learnt from a video. I think they are extra
special because my dear friend took the time to make them for me. Devi is not
crazy of arts and crafts, so I really appreciate her effort. The bookmarks are funny-
looking and well made. I will use them to mark pages of homework from textbooks.
It has been a great day. I feel so loved, thanks to my beloved family and
friends.

Among the many interesting creatures on our planet, one of the most unique animals is the
glass frogs. It received its name as the lower part of the body is clear, making it possible
for a clear view of its 35 insides.
Primarily lime green in colour, the frog’s stomach is so clear that it looks almost as if
they melt into the leaves and become one with 36 them.
Coupled with the fact that glass frogs are 20 to 30 millimetres in length
and could stay quietly at your fingertip, they are impossible to 37 be spotted
by predators.
Glass frogs live in and among trees and plants of the moist mountain forests in Central
and South 38 America. While most of their lives are spent up on
trees, they breed closer to rivers.
The parents will stay to guard the eggs however as there is still the risk of them
being eaten by maggots and larvae of 39 wasps. They fall into the water below
after few months and the parents return to the trees. Scientists are interested in the frogs as
they give clues on the health of the environment.
40 In 2004, the International Union for Conservation of Nature
A. The trees higher up in the mountain are almost covered by white clouds.
B. As of now, there are 134 types of glass frogs with 60 of them are in danger of extinction.
C. If you shine a light on a tree frog at night, all you will see is its eyes and the tiny skull.
E. The tadpoles formed in the eggs have strong fins and tails.
H. The liver, intestines, right down to its heart can be seen through its clear skin.
and Natural Resources (IUCN) Red List declared the glass frog as an endangered
species. Fewer than 5,000 exist in the wild today.
