During the school holidays, the scouts of SMKA Tun Perak organised a

camping trip to Taman Negara. The bus departs at 10 a.m. sharp from their

school. Mr. Md Amin bin Sadi, the scout master accompanied us. The scouts

were excited as this was his first camping experience. On the way, the scouts

played the guitar and sang songs. When they reaching Taman Negara, three

guides were waited for them. The guides took them to their camping spot and

the scouts set down their camps. The scouts then made preparations to cook

lunch. It was fun cooking their own even although it was not as delicious

as their mother’s cooking. After doing cleaning up, the scout went to explore

the jungle with the guides. They had the opportunity to see much different

kinds of insects. They collected some species and takes many photographs.

That night after dinner, they sat above the portable lights. The guides told

them about their adventures while the scouts listened attentively. The next

morning, they packed and left the campsite. Everyone agreed that it had been

one of the best camping experience they had ever had.

Question 2

Read the following text. Then, answer question (a) – (j).

Family Holiday in Vietnam and Cambodia

2

The holidays are here! My family and I want to go on a family vacation. My parents love exotic holiday destinations. They want to visit Angkor Wat as it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We’ve checked out a few tour packages. Wow! There’s so many to choose from. There’s a six-day tour to Angkor Wat and Ho Chi Minh offered by Lotus Travel and Tours. At RM1649 per person, the tour highlights are Angkor Wat and Tonle Sap Floating Village. There is a boat cruise to visit the village. We get to see floating markets, floating houses and floating schools of Cambodian fishermen. That sounds interesting but my younger sister isn’t too keen on it.

I’m excited about the Ho Chi Minh City tour. The tour highlight is the Cu Chi Tunnel, a network of tunnels that were underground cities in the 1960’s. we also get to shop at Vietnam’s famous Ban Thanh market. My mum will enjoy it!

We can choose from 3 departure dates, 17 November, 25 November and 16 December. There’s also another 4-day tour to Ho Chi Minh City which costs less at RM 1249 per person. But we won’t get to see Angkor Wat. I’ll let my mum and dad decide, I’m so confused now.
