QuestionSoalan 10

Life Above the Trees

Aiman Rashid is a ranger at a rainforest park in Pahang. Every day he walks along a canopy bridge forty metres above the ground. He has worked at the park for nine years. "When I was a boy, I used to climb the rubber trees behind my house," he says. "I have never wanted to sit at a desk all day."

Aiman's day starts at 6 a.m. First, he checks the ropes and the wooden boards, because the bridge is checked every morning for safety. Then he counts the birds in the tall trees. Last month he found a baby gibbon alone on the bridge and carried it to the park's vet.

Aiman says that the job is challenging. A storm can arrive in minutes, and then he must bring the visitors down quickly. "The best part is the view," he says. "On a clear morning, it is the most beautiful scenery in the country!" He has already seen a rare hornbill, but he hasn't seen a tiger yet. Many visitors ask, "Have you ever felt afraid up here?" Aiman only smiles and says, "Not yet."

What does Aiman do first every morning?
Show answerTunjuk jawapanHide answerSembunyi jawapan
B
The second paragraph says: 'First, he checks the ropes and the wooden boards.' A first question needs the sequence word (Academy Stars Year 6, Unit 4, p.50: scan for key words).

QuestionSoalan 15

A: Sara, diving instructorB: Raju, travel writerC: Ben, mountain guide
I teach diving at a resort on Tioman. I have taught more than 300 people, and nobody has ever been hurt, because we check every tank before each dive. I have lived on the island for six years and I have never wanted to move to a city. I haven't seen a whale shark yet, but I hope to this year. I write about my trips for a travel magazine. I have visited 28 countries and I have already published two books. I have kept a blog about my adventures since 2019. Next month I am flying to Peru, so I haven't packed my bag yet. The hardest part of my job is being away from my family. I am a guide on Mount Kinabalu. I have climbed it over 200 times, but the sunrise at the top still takes my breath away. I have worked with the same team since I was nineteen. Many visitors have never climbed a mountain before, so I walk slowly and encourage them. Last week I carried a tired boy's rucksack to the top.
