The World Cup might have been a focus in the past month, but for many

around the world, an only team that mattered was the

“

Wild Boars

”

. The

burst of joy when the young team emerges safe and sound from the flood

cave in Thailand matched any World Cup final. It was not surprising that

the social media was filled with praises to not only the rescue team but also

the “

swarm of men and women

” from Thailand and around the world.

There was small business owners of diving gear and oxygen cylinders

whose gave their equipment for free to the rescue team, and farmers who

sacrificed their crops so that water could be pump out from the caves. Then,

there were these who cycled hundreds of kilometres every day to the cave

site to cook and caring for the rescue team.

(j).

Mohamed Salah Ghaly is an Egyptian footballer who plays as a forward for the Egyptian national

team as well as Premier League Club Liverpool. Born in Nagrig, he is a gifted footballer since his

childhood. He came from a sporty family in which football was the game his father and uncles

played at a youth club in Nagrig.

Initially, football was just a leisure activity for Salah but he started taking it as a serious career

opportunity when he joined a local youth club ‘El Mokawloon’ in Cairo

at the age of eighteen.

The journey from his hometown to Cairo was tiring and time consuming where he had to change

five buses to reach his training centre. That had never discouraged him from becoming a successful

footballer.

As time went by, Salah made his way to play for famous clubs namely, Fiorentina and Chelsea

but his biggest success came when he was offered a contract by Liverpool in 2017. Since then, he

has been scoring many important goals for both the club and his home country. He is much loved

by his fans and due to his goal scoring feat

, they dubbed him as ‘The Pharaoh’.

As a result of his outstanding performances, he won numerous prestigious awards which includes

Premier League Player of the Month, Football Writers’ Player of the Year and African Footballer

of the Year.

Question 4

Read the article below. Then answer questions (a) to (h).

Travelling is the act of going on a visit to another place either for sightseeing or

business. Most people like to travel and they travel for different reasons. In the past, during the

days of exploration, people travelled by land and sea to look for things like spices and tea and

to discover new land.

For many people nowadays, going to a new place means getting to know the culture

and the way of life of the inhabitants there. To be fluent in a foreign language, the best step

would be to make a visit to the country and reside there for some time. Food, especially exotic

food attracts people to foreign countries. Nowadays, there are some specialists in food such as

chocolates and cheese and even modern food such as pastas and pizzas. They are called food

connoisseurs.

There are people who travel to make new friends. They find it rewarding to get to know

someone who has different ways of life. They take the opportunity to experience how they lead

their lives so as to become more knowledgeable. Some even go to big events such as the World

Cup just to watch a match whilst making new friends. New Zealand and Australia are ranked

the

top 3 friendliest countries by the Men’s Health magazine

. Malaysia makes it to the top 10

list as well as Brazil, Spain and Sweden.

Poisoned Talk

Who killed cock robin?

I, said the worm,

I did him great harm.

He died on the branch of a withered tree

From the acid soil that poisoned me.

Who killed the heron?

I, mouthed the fish,

With my tainted flesh

I killed tern, duck and drake,

All the birds of the lake.

Who killed the lake?

I, boasted Industry,

I poisoned with mercury

Fish, plant and weed

To pamper mens’ greed.

Who killed the flowers?

I, moaned the wind.

I prowl unconfined,

Blowing acid rain

Over field, flood and fen.

Who killed the forest?

I ensured that it died,

Said sulphur dioxide.

All all life within it,

from earthworm to linnet.
