Question 2

Read the passage and complete the following task.

Kangaroos live in groups called ‘mobs’, which usually consist of one adult male and two or three females and their young. If a baby kangaroo is lost in the crowd, the mother kangaroo cannot call it by name because she has no voice and can only make a variety of grunts, coughs and sucking sounds. However, even if she could call her baby name, it would not help much because all kangaroo babies, male or female, have the same name. They are called joeys.

So what happens when a dangerous dingo, a native Australian dog, approaches and a joey needs to find its mother quickly? Well, it does not bother. It just jumps into the nearest pouch. Even if it is the wrong one, the mother will not reject it unless her pouch is already full.

PAPER 2

SECTION A

Encik Rusli lived in a house near a river. He would usually go to the river bank every evening and sit on the bench there to read the newspapers

One evening while he was reading his newspapers, he saw one children playing hide-and-seek near the river.

As he went back to reading his newspapers, he suddenly hears a shout, “Help, help”. He looked around and saw that a blind-folded girl had fallen into the river. She was not able to swim and was struggling to stay afloat.

Without wasting any time, Encik Rusli dived into the river. He managed to pull the frightened girl out of the water. The girl, Susan, was grateful to Encik Rusli for saving her life. The rest of the children also thanked him. Encik Rusli warned them not to play hide-and-seek near the river again.

SECTION B

Kangaroo live in groups of one adult male, two or three females and their young. Kangaroos have no voices, so a mother kangaroo calls its young by a variety of grunts, coughs and sucking sounds. The young kangaroo is called a joey. When a dangerous dingo approaches, the joey will jump into the nearest kangaroo pouch.

SECTION C

The character I would like to meet is Robinson Crusoe himself. I want to meet him because of his amazing qualities. When Crusoe was stranded on the island, he did not panic. Instead, he remained calm and was very methodical. He swam back to the ship to get supplies. Then, he worked on setting up a place to live in. Since he was pretty intelligent, he was able to figure out how to make things like furniture and jars on his own.

In the book, Crusoe proves to be a courageous man. He was alone but he was able to successfully rescue Friday. He then took the trouble to teach Friday how to communicate and about God. His kindness was repaid as Friday turned out to be a good companion. I have never met anypne with so many wonderful qualities, which is why I would like to meet Crusoe.
