When we had a holiday last year, we went to a place at the seaside and borrowed a boat from one of our friends. Then we sailed and fished in the sea all day. We also had races against other boats. When the sea was rough, we sailed on a small lake near the sea instead.There were a lot of sharp rocks, and the water was shallow, so we must be careful because we did not want to damage our friends boat. There were not many fish in the lake, but we caught a lot when we sailed to the sea. The fish were not very big, but they tasted very good. We sailed to the land at lunch time, collected pieces of dry wood and fried or grilled our fish at the beach. All of us enjoyed our meals. It was the most wonderful day for my family.

The following text is for questions 24 to 28 HERMIT Many years ago, there lived a hermit in a forest in Sumatra. He did not grow food but depended on the jungle fruit to survive. Soon, there was a drought, and all the plants and fruit trees in the jungle died. The old man had nothing to eat now, so he turned to become a beggar. He went to a nearby village trying

to get food. At first, the villagers were happy to help him. However, when he came regularly, they refused to give him any more food. They told him to grow his own food. One day, while the hermit was sitting in his hut, sad and hungry, he began to think about growing his own food. Just then, a boatman stopped by and took a pity on the hermit.Then he gave him some paddy seeds. Before the boatman went away, he said, These seeds will grow and give you everlasting harvest if you work very hard. If you are tired of the work, the paddy plants will turn into weeds. The old hermit worked hard to clear the land and sowed the seeds before the rain came. Strangely, after a short period of time, the paddy was ready for harvesting. The old man got a lot of rice from the harvest. After each harvest, the plants grew again right away. When the villagers heard about the hermit and his wonderful paddy, they flocked to his paddy field and took home as much paddy as they could. One day, being very tired of harvesting the paddy, he shouted, Oh stop growing, you wretched thing! As soon as he had said this, the paddy plants turned into weeds.
