Polish man invents edible tableware in bid to help reduce waste.

ZAMBROV Poland): Polish inventor and entrepreneur, Jerzy Wysocki, catches a brown plate – still warm – as
it drops out of a machine and he begin to eat the crunchy tableware. ‘A steak will always be more delectable
on this wheat bran plate than on plastic, ‘says Wysocki with a large grin at the Bioterm factory in Zambrov in
northeast Poland.

Taking a bite, the plate does not have much of a flavour. It calls to mind dry cereal flakes or maybe
what you would imagine, cardboard, to taste like. But, Jerzy says what matters is the tableware is
biodegradable. The sexagenarian invented the plate some fifteen years ago, and today Bioterm makes
around 15 million of them a year. That figure would soon skyrocket thanks to a decision to ban plastic plates
and cutlery starting 2021. Jerzy got the idea when he was looking to use up the leftovers of flour production
which take up a lot of space. He is also driven by the desire to help for a good cause: the amount of rubbish
that pollutes oceans is huge and frightening.

To make the plate, we only use wheat bran which we compress at a precise pressure point and
temperature, using a machine made specifically for that purpose. At Euro 0.15(RM 0.70) a pop or 20% more
for exports, wheat bran plates are more expensive than their plastic counterparts. The plates are distributed
to Asia, North America and Australia.

Read the text below and answer questions 25 to 34.

One of the best things about having your own money is that you get to choose how
to use it. Your first step in handling money is to be financially literate and think about your
short-term and long-term goals. Financially literate is the wisdom or know-how of handling
your money. Everyone knows that money is exchanged for goods and services. However, it
is not infinite and must be earned and well-managed.
Aspects of financial literacy include budgeting, amount to save and spend,
understanding needs and wants and controlling impulse buying. It takes a bit of practice to
master your money. But, once you get the hang of it, you will be ready to manage any
money-related problems. Budgeting is perhaps the most important aspect of money
management. Without proper budgeting, you can run out of money before the next
allowance or next earning. Decide how much you want to save and how much to spend.
Set an incentive-saving plan.
Make a distinction between what you need and what you want. A need is
something necessary while a want is something that you love to have but not immediately
necessary. Put your needs before your wants. Impulse buying or going overboard with
spending is showing irresponsibility. You might want to ask for a raise in your allowance.
Rather than asking for a raise, earn some extra pocket money by offering to do extra
chores within the community. Do not make it a standing order that your parents should
give you extra pocket money for helping around the house.
So, learn to earn, save, budget, spend and help properly and you will be financially
literate.

You are going to read an article about a diving experience in Weh Island.

Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences (A-H) to fit each gap
(35-40). There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. For each question, mark the
correct answer (A-H).

Weh Island in Bandar Acheh, Indonesia is well known for its beautiful dive sites.
The island is surrounded by vibrant and friendly people.
35 So, we went to
look for something to eat.
Once we reach the island, we settled in our comfortable hut. 36

Together with our dive master, Ben, we went to our dive site, about twenty
minutes away by boat. The water was crystal37clear. The underwater
current was strong but still manageable. The dive lasted 15 minutes and I reached
the maximum depth of 25m.
39
We saw a few moray eels, lion fishes and nudibranch
molluscs, as well as huge rocks that seemed to form a cave. I followed a large
moray ell to take a video of it swimming within the corals. Wonderful! Later that
day, we went out for our third dive, but swimming against the strong undercurrent
was exhausting.
38

Back on the island, we40rented a scooter to explore the place.

The next day, we experienced drift diving. For our final dive, we went
to the middle of the sea. Here, the dive was done by following the rope attached to
the boat’s anchor.

A The dive equipment went missing on the first dive.

B We drifted about 100m away with the current in just a few minutes.
C We saw many types of fish in various colours, sizes and shapes.
D We arrived at Acheh in the morning in the morning but our ferry to Weh Island was only at
4.00 p.m.
E Our second dive was at another site where the underwater current was great.
F So, we decided to call it quits for the day after just a few minutes.
G The dive took us out of the middle of the ocean.
H The next morning, we woke up early for our dive.
