Read the text below and answer questions 1 to 8.

Kelvin Doe

Kelvin Doe was born in Sierra Leone. This 17-year-old is a self-taught engineer. When
he was 11 years old, he looked through waste bins in his neighbourhood to look for scrap
electronic parts.

At 13, he made his own battery. He put acid, soda and metal in a tin can. He waited for
the mixture to dry and then wrapped tape around it.

Doe then decided to build a generator to tackle the lack of constant electricity supply
to his neighbourhood. He used parts that he made himself or had found in waste bins. The
generator he built helped power a community radio station too.

In fact, the radio station was another one of Doe’s creation. He built that using recycled
materials. He is known as DJ Focus. He plays music at the radio station while his friends work as
journalists and station managers.

Doe had never been more than 10 miles from his home but in 2012, he went to the
United States of America. He spoke to the Meet the Young Makers panel in New York,
presented his inventions to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) students and
lectured to engineering students at Harvard University.

Kelvin Doe is an inspiration to teenagers all over the world.

NATURAL WONDERS OF MALAYSIA

DEER CAVE

Located in Mulu National Park, this world’s largest cave passage is over 2 kilometres
long and 174 metres high. Two to three million bats from over 12 different species live
here.

MOUNT KINABALU

This is the highest mountain in Malaysia and is part of the Kinabalu Park. It is a haven
for unique and beautiful plants. Apart from conquering the mountain, you get to see
oak, chestnut and laurel trees. There are also many varieties of orchids and pitcher-
plants around the park.

MANGROVES

These trees grow along coastlines ad help prevent erosion. They can adapt to the
changing mix of salt water and fresh water. Mangroves are an important sanctuary for
various species of animals that live among their roots. Mangrove swamps can be
found in Langkawi Island, Bako National park and Kuching Wetlands National Park.

RAFFLESIA

This parasite flower is up to one meter in diameter but does not have any roots,
leaves or stem. If that doesn’t make it unique, here is another fascinating fact. It only
blooms for three to five days before it rots. The best place to see the world’s largest
flower is in Gunung Gading National Park in Sarawak. You can also head to Taman
Negara or other parks in East Malaysia to see them.

ENDANGERED TURTLES

There are seven types of turtle species in the world and amazingly, four of them are
found in Malaysia. The hawksbill and the green turtle nest within the Turtle Islands
National Park in Sabah. These species as well as the olive Ridley and the giant
leatherback can be found in the waters of Peninsular Malaysia. If diving is your
passion, head to Redang Island to see green and hawksbill turtles as well as colourful
corals and tropical fishes.

Dear Ann Li,

How was your holiday? I hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed mine.
This time around, my parents thought of doing something different. (1 / ). The home
encourages families to foster a child for weekends or holidays. My dad and I thought it was
a good idea. (2 / ). One Saturday morning, we drove to the home. The children were of all
ages, from babies to teenagers. Despite the circumstances that led them of being in the
home, they did not seem resentful at all. (3 / ).

Jane was sent to live with us. (4 / ). The things I took for granted like having my
own room, a big, comfortable house and a well-stocked fridge excites her. We got to know
Jane. She was friendly and cheerful. (5 / ).

As the holiday ended, I felt sad that Jane would have to go back to the Shelter
House. (6 / ). Write to me and tell me how you spent the last two months. Take care and
bye.
Your friend,

Mei Mei
