[1 mark]
(a)On Saturdays she ______ up at seven o'clock.

Bandar Seri
Hafiz and his sister Sofia live in a small village, but today they are visiting Bandar Seri with their uncle. It is a big, busy town. There is a new shopping centre next to the bus station, and there are a lot of shops and cafes in the old streets.

After lunch, Uncle asks a policeman, "Is the museum far from here?" "No, it isn't," says the policeman. "It's only ten minutes on foot." At the museum there are many old photos and a big model of the town. It is quiet and cool there. Sofia isn't tired, but Hafiz is. They go home by bus at five o'clock.
