Akmal Hakim
Once there was an Arab boy called Akmal Hakim. He
(1)lived with his parents in a village by the river.
Akmal Hakim was not like other boys in the village. In-
stead of playing games after school he spent most of his
time in the forest (2)gathering herbs and roots. When he
came home, he would boil these and make medicines.
Whenever anyone in the village was sick, Akmal Hakim
gave the person one of his medicines, and the person
immediately felt better.
Of course, some of (3)the villagers did not think
Akmal Hakim could cure their sicknesses. These villagers
whispered evil things about him.
But Akmal Hakim's parents told him not to mind.
“Some people are jealous,” they said. “But if these people
are ever sick, they too will come to see you.”
Years passed, and Akmal Hakim (4)grew into a
young man. He spent a good deal of time writing about his
herbs and roots in notebooks, and he carried these
notebooks with him everywhere. As he grew older, his
powers became even stronger, and people from all over
the countryside came to see him. But many of the
villagers still whispered about Akmal Hakim's evil power,
and he (5)behaved rudely towards them.
One day Akmal Hakim told his parents that he was
leavinghome. “These people in our village are
(6)ungrateful,” he said. “I will go across the sea to find
people who want my medicine.”
He wrapped his notebooks in a parcel, climbed into a
boat at the riverside, and waved goodbye to his parents.
As soon as the boat (7)reached the sea, it sank,
carrying Akmal Hakim and his precious herbs with it.
Unfortunately, Akmal Hakim could not swim.
But that is not the end of the story. Akmal Hakim's
notebooks (8)loated across the sea. They floated across
the oceans of the world and landed here and there in
distant countries. They were (9)found by holy men who
studied Akmal Hakim's books.
2 KUNCI STAR SMP/MTs BAHASA INGGRIS IX KUR 2013 PK-X-II
These holy men made (10)medicines by following Akmal
Hakim's instructions, and they became the world's first
doctors.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They
belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled group,
Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had
claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not slimy.
They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the
skin. Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the
snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather.

sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live
in tress, some live in water, but most live on the ground in
deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old
logs.
