Question 4
Read
the letter from Aida to Shaheera
Hi Shaheera,
Thank you so much for sharing some tips on digital cameras and
photography. I really appreciate your help. Now I have a photograph of my pride
and joy, Della, on my home desktop as a screen saver. I even showed it to Della
and guess what she did? She put her paw on the screen and tried to catch the
mouse that she saw!
I have just completed my Science project on our universe this morning so
now I have some time to myself. You know how I always complain about how hot
the afternoon are but now I have a better understanding of it. Well, I found out
that the Sun began to shine 4 500 million years ago. Experts believe it will
continue to produce heat for the next 6000 million years. It is true that it is a
very long time but what will happen to life on Earth if the Sun finally stops
shining? I am sure the green plants will die. What about your school Science
project? What topic have you chosen?
Anyway, do you remember Elfie, my neighbor? We certainly had a
wonderful time when you came here during the last school holidays. Well, his
father has been promoted and transferred to Kelantan. Elfie and his family will
leave at the end of the month. I must admit that I feel unhappy about this.
Will you be here again during the next school holidays? I hope you can
stay here for a couple of days. I am looking forward to seeing you again. You
always make me laugh with your jokes and interesting stories.

Read the poem below carefully and answer questions (a) - (d).

I Wonder
I wonder why the grass is green,
And why the wind is never seen?
Who taught the birds to build a
nest,
And told the trees to take a rest?
O, when the moon is not quite
round,
Where can the missing bit be
found?
Who lights the stars, when they
blow out,
And makes the lightning flash
about?
Who paints the rainbow in the sky,
And hangs the fluffy clouds so
high?

see?
