Questions 16 to 20

Read the letter below carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Dear Peter,

Thanks for your letter which I received yesterday. I had fun reading about how you celebrate Christmas in New Zealand.

In Malaysia, I celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri. It falls on the first day of Syawal, which is the tenth month in the Muslim calendr. It marks the Muslim’s success in fasting for a month in Ramadan.

The festival is a joyous occasion. On this day, the Muslims put on their best clothes and go to the mosque to perform prayers. Before leaving the mosque, we ask for forgiveness from each other.

Then, we go home for a lovely meal with our families. We often have ketupat, a special Hari Raya dish. It is rice cooked in a case made of woven coconut leaves. Ketupat is usually taken with peanut sauce and rending, which is meat cooked in thick, spicy gravy.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about Hari Raya Aidilfitri. It would be wonderful if we could celebrate the festival together. Bye!

Your pen pal, Amir

Too many cooks spoil the brothCut your coat according to your clothDon’t count your chickens before they are hatched

[1 mark]

A milkmaid had been out to milk the cows and was returning from the field with a shiny milk pail balanced nicely on her head. As she walked along, her pretty head was busy with plans for the days to come.

“This good, rich milk,” she mused, “will give me plenty of cream to churn. I will take the butter which I made to the market, and with the money I get for it, I will buy a lot of eggs for hatching. How nice it will be when they are all hatched and the yard is full of cute, little chicks. Then when the right time comes I will sell them, and with the money, I will buy a lovely new dress to wear to the fair. All the young men will be attracted to me. They will come and try to date me….”

As she thought of how she would settle that matter, she tossed her head scornfully, and down fell the pail of milk. Suddenly, all the milk flowed out, and with it vanished the butter and eggs and chicks and new dress and all the milkmaid’s pride. So she had to go home and tell her mother what had happened.
