Questions 26-31
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.

The whispers and giggles woke me up early in the morning. Across


the room, curious children peeked over the open window's edge. Feeling
a liule embarrassed to be caught sleeping on the table, I waved them off
and got myself together. Refugee camp or not, I still needed the first few
minutes of the day to myself. 5
Half an hour later I presented myself to the Red Crescent office. I
was ready to begin work as the Social Care Coordinator at the Pulau
Bidong Vietnamese Boat People (VBP) Carnp off the coast of Terengganu,
Malaysia. It was June 1979. As a fresh sociology grad, I was bent on
changing the world, or at least the world of the 46,000 refugees crowded t0
onto 100 hectares of land.
The Red Crescent Office and store was one of the few real buildings
in the camp. The others were a camp hospital, the offices for the third
country delegations, and the Joint Malaysian Army & Navy Base Head
quarters. There was also a church, which the refugees had built with the 15
wood found on the island.
I was brought to see the chairman of the VBP Carnp Committee.
He was delighted. "Finally! Something more than the basic necessities was
in sight," he said. He wanted activities for the women and children to be
organized. Supplies and clothing to enable the running of English classes. 20
Work groups and other sessions that would help to sustain life in the camp
and prepare the refugees for their new lives in countries such as the United
States, Australia and Germany. I was expected to help coordinate the move-
ment of these supplies and work with the camp Committee to ensure they
were used appropriately. 25
I learnt all this over breakfast with the committee. Our meal caught
me by surprise-delicious freshly baked French loaves with butter and hot
tea. They told me if I stayed at the camp long enough, I would come to
know the places where I could eat delicious Vietnamese food, courtesy of
camp residents who could cook. 30
Then I met the delegates from different countries, the people who
decided who would be accepted to which countries. Finally I was assigned
a translator. His name was Lam Van Dai. We toured the rest of the camp
and I saw that most of the refugees Iived in tents or shacks built with scrap
wood, tarpaulin bags and anything else that was available. Long houses 35
were being built to provide better accommodation, but until they were
ready, it was up to each family's ingenuity to find the best accommodation
they could.
Indeed, the island's natural vegetation had long been stripped to
make temporary housing. Water sources were no longer potable. Daily 40
ferries brought in water, two buckets per household. People waited patiently
in queues that snaked up and down the shoreline near the makeshift jetty
to collect it.

8 After the tour, Lam invited me home for dinner with his wife
and four kids. "Home was a makeshift, one-room shelter of tarpaulins 45
supported by sticks. Over the course of the evening, they not only shared
their ration of instant noodles and sardines with me, but also their hopes
and dreams. He was among the lucky ones on the camps because he
had worked for the Americans and he could speak English. Mostly he spoke
of the terrible journey across the South China Sea, the fear of being killed 50
by the pirates and the long days in the sea without water, and how they
had to hold on to the hope that they would reach safety.
9 That night, I took a few minutes to look back over my day as I
stared at the zinc walls. There was so much to do. I really did not know
how I was going to do it. 55

32 Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.

Nature
We have neither Summer nor Winter
Neither Autumn nor Spring.
We have instead the days
When the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields -
Magnificently.
The days when the rain beats like bullets on the roofs
And there is no sound but the swish of water in the
gullies
And trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds.
Also there are the days when the leaves fade from off
guango trees
And the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun.
But best of all there are the days when the mango and
the logwood blossom
When the bushes are full of the sound of bees and the
scent of honey,
When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest
breath of air,
When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow
stars
And beauty comes suddenly and the rains have gone.
