My friend Rahim, who works as a forest ranger, took me along on one of his trips into the jungle. I had wanted to experience for myself first-hand what he had always spoken about.

Why Ali followed his friend Rahim?

• had the opportunity

• to experience for first-hand

• took him along

The moment we entered the jungle, a sort of semi-darkness enveloped us. The sky was almost completely shut out by the canopy of leaves high above us. At ground level, thick vegetation grew in every direction. The air was damp and had a peculiar smell to it.

All these happened when we entered into the jungle accept

• semi-darkness

• thick vegetation grew in every direction

• The air was dry

All around us were the sounds of insects, birds and animals. Though we could not see them, except for some birds, we knew they were there. The sounds echoed all over, making the jungle feel eerie and strange.

What made the jungle feel eerie and strange?

• the sounds of insects, birds and animals

• the sounds of insects, birds and animals echoed all over

• the sounds echoed all over

Nevertheless I followed Rahim as we trudged along slowly. The most uncomfortable thing about being in the jungle were the leeches. These little bloodsuckers never gave up. Despite thick boots and clothes, they still managed to bite me.

The most uncomfortable thing about being the jungle

• were the leeches

• were the little bloodsuckers

• were the insects

Nothing extraordinary happened last weekend. It was just like any other ordinary weekend.

I got up later than usual on Saturday morning. After breakfast I went over to my friend Arul's house and spent some time reading comics there. Arul has tons of comics. His father buys the latest for him. Being his friend, I get to read them too.

After breakfast, I went over to my friend's house to

• spent some time reading comics there

• spent some time with Arul

• spent some time doing homework

We read comics till lunch-time. Then I went home, had lunch and took an afternoon nap. Taking an afternoon nap is a pleasure that I can indulge in only on weekends. On weekdays I do not have time for it.

The rest of the afternoon I helped my father in the garden uprooting weeds and trimming the hedge. We continued until darkness fell. After that I had my bath and dinner. After dinner I watched television until it was time for bed.

I got up late too on Sunday morning. For breakfast I had cornflakes with milk while listening to the radio. Then I spent the rest of the morning doing homework.

On Sunday, along with breakfast Siti also

• watches TV

• listens to the radio

• does her homework

Again I took a nap after lunch. Then I finished up my homework.

By the time I was done with the homework it was already evening. So I took a stroll around the neighbourhood. It was a great feeling to be able to relax after all the homework had been done.

After dinner, I packed my books in my bag and went to bed early. I had to get enough sleep otherwise I would fall asleep in school the next day. Thus ended yet another weekend.

How does a stroll around neighbourhood makes Siti feel?

• a great feeling to be able to relax after homework

• feeling relax after school
