Questions 17-24
Read the text below and answer questions 25-34.

Haze

Haze can affect our health through irritation and inflammation of the eyes, nose and throat in
addition to dizziness, stress and headaches. Those who have low immunity and already suffer from
heart or lung conditions and asthma will find their health worsening.

One way of protecting your health during the haze is by staying indoors. You should only go out
if it absolutely necessary. If you have air conditioners, make sure that you clean the filters as often
as possible. You also get an air purifier which will maintain the air quality in your home.

In the event that you have to go out during the haze, try not to do anything strenuous that
requires you to inhale deeply. For example, you can go to school but don’t go for a run. Another way
to protect yourself is by wearing a N95 mask. The mask will filter out airborne particles from the air
you are about to inhale. You should also increase your water intake. The water will help your kidneys
flush away the toxins and keep you hydrated.

Make sure to always wash your hands and face as soon as you’re home. This will help to minimize
any infections. If your immune system is good, you are less likely to fall sick during the haze.
Therefore, eat lots fresh fruits and vegetables as they will boost your immunity and strengthen your
lungs. If your experience respiratory or other health issues, immediately visit your doctor. It may not
be serious but it is better to get it checked out. After visiting the doctor, make sure your listen to the
advice given. For example, take all the medications that is prescribed.

Follow these simple precautions and should be fine.

Dear Jasmine,

Hope you are fine. As for me…… well! I would like to narrate a frightening experience I went
through last week.

That Saturday morning, the weather was good. It was sunny and bright. (27) We

wanted to have fun time since the weather was great. We shared the expenses and also booked a

budget chalet overlooking the sea. (28) The beach town looked more like a “bazaar”

with stalls everywhere. All kinds of food and other things were sold there.
(29)
In the afternoon, we changed into our swimming wear and swam happily.

Everyone stopped their beach activities and ran to their accommodations. My friends and I did the

same. Then, it started raining heavily. (30) The sea waves began to become fiercer and

wilder. We could see them from our chalets. We were warned no to go out.

All of sudden, the whole chalet was in total darkness. (31) We had no torchlights

or even candles with us. We used the light from our handphones and sat together closely.

(32) I called my uncle. He came by van and sent all of us home. It was 8.00p.m. when

we reached home. The weather in Malaysia is really unpredictable.

A. There was a short circuit and the electricity supply was disconnected,
B. We built sandcastles and collected seashells on the beach.
C. Loud thunders and flashing lightening could be seen and heard.
D. We sat in one of the stalls and had hot drinks.
E. After two hours, everything was normal again.
F. Two friends of mine and I decided to go to the beach.
G. We did not swim immediately and decided to look around.
H. Then suddenly from a bright day, the clouds began to get dark.
