the museum? the museum.

An Accident at the Park

Last Saturday, Ming and Razak went to the park because they wanted to
fly their kites. While they were flying their kites, a sudden gust of wind
blew Ming’s kite away. His kite then landed in a tree.

Ming and Razak saw that the kite was stuck between some tree
branches. However, the kite was too high up in the tree for them to
reach it. Just then, Ming said he would climb the tree and get it. He
started to climb the tree. Razak nervously watched Ming and told him to
be careful.

Soon, Ming was high up in the tree. He tried to reach for the kite.
Suddenly, his foot slipped. Ming fell to the ground with a loud yell. His leg
was bleeding and he cried out in pain. Razak shouted for help and a
passer-by rushed over. The passer-by took out his phone to make a call.

Section Five: Reading Comprehension 61

©SECTION FIVE: READING COMPREHENSION

Introduction to Reading Comprehension

In the Bahasa Inggeris UPSR SJKC - Pemahaman (023), Questions 16
to 20 and Questions 22 to 25 are reading comprehension questions.

Questions

There are a few types of questions that they can ask you:
Wh-questions – like ‘what’, ‘who’, ‘when’, ‘where’, ‘why’ and ‘how’.

Sequencing questions, which ask you to arrange what happened in
the text in the right order.

Meaning from context questions, which ask you about the
meaning of a word or phrase.

HOTS questions, which will test you on your thinking skills,
such as:
 opinion questions, which ask you to give opinions.
 inference questions, which ask you to draw a conclusion based

on your own knowledge and the information in the text.
 prediction questions, which ask you to use the information in a

text to make a guess about something.

Types of Text

The reading comprehension questions are based on:
Linear text – Stories, letters, emails, dialogues, etc.
Non-linear text – Posters, advertisements, etc.

Section Five: Reading Comprehension 49

Wh-questions

Many of the questions that you will be asked are wh-questions. Let’s do a
quick revision.

These questions are used to ask about certain types of information. They all
start with ‘wh’ (except for the word ‘how’). Imagine that you are asking
questions like a police officer:

1.What happened?
‘What’ asks you to look for information about people, things and animals.

2.How did they get away?
‘How’ asks you to look for the way something was done.

3.Who is the criminal?
‘Who’ asks you to look for a person.

4.When did it happen?
‘When’ asks you to look for a time or date.

5.Why did this happen?
‘Why’ asks you to look for a reason.
©

6.Which person could be a witness?
‘Which’ asks you to make a choice.

7.Where did he go?
‘Where’ asks for a place.

Vocabulary Kit: 3. reason: 原因
1. certain: 某些 4. witness: 证人
2. criminal: 罪犯

50 Section Five: Reading Comprehension

Sequencing Questions

A sequence is the order of events or words. Sequencing questions test on
the order of things that happen.

5.30 p.m. Play basketball with
friends

7.00 p.m. Have dinner

8.30 p.m. Watch television

10.00 p.m. Go to bed

©
Sometimes you may be asked questions about who or what a word like
‘she’, ‘it’ or ‘them’ refers to. For example:

The word ‘she’ in the text refers to __________.

Step 1: The She had just left the bookshop when Answer:
word in the she saw Daniel walking by. Nancy The word
question waved at him. ‘she’ refers
refers to a to Nancy.
female. Step 2: Read the sentences
around the word and look for a
female in the text.

Section Five: Reading Comprehension 51

Meaning from Context Questions

Another type of question is where you get asked about the meaning of a
word or phrase. Sometimes, you will be asked to replace the word or phrase
with another one that has a similar meaning.

Context

It is important that you read widely and learn new words to help you
understand texts. When you aren’t sure about the meaning of a word, you
can look at the phrases or sentences around the word to help you find
out the meaning. This is called context.

The word ‘poultry’ in the sentence means ______.

Introduction to Writing

The Bahasa Inggeris UPSR SJKC – Penulisan (024) will test your writing
skills. The paper is divided into three sections. Each section has different
types of questions. Let’s find out what they are.

Section A: Information Transfer

You will be given a stimulus (a poster, an advertisement, a passage,
etc). Then, you must complete a text (a letter, an email, a
dialogue, etc.) using the information provided in the stimulus.

Section B: Giving Opinions

In this section, you will be given one or two stimuli. The first
question tests your ability to find specific information in the
stimuli. The second question tests your skill in writing an opinion
based on the stimuli given. You may be asked to give your opinion
in the form of a linear text (a letter, an email, a simple
paragraph, etc.)

Section C: Note Expansion

This section has two questions, but you only need to answer one
question. You will be given a picture or a series of pictures,
along with some helping words. You must write a story based on
the given picture or pictures. You may use the helping words in
your story.

Don’t forget to check your answers for spelling,
punctuation and grammatical mistakes! You can lose
marks for making those mistakes.

him decide which handbag he should choose. Give two reasons to
support your choice.
You answer should be between 50 and 80 words.

To: Kamal 2 May 2020

I think you should buy the Solace Handbag. It is cheaper than the

canvas so it is durable and light. Besides that, I think the free
shoulder pad for the strap will be useful for your mother. She can
carry the bag around comfortably with it.
