Test 2 China has put in huge and consistent efforts in reforestation to deal with soil erosion,
air pollution and climate change. About eight years ago, nearly one-tenth of China’s territory
was occupied by desert in the north and northwest. This means that it was almost impossible
to eliminate the source of sandstorms through manpower. However, the country hardly
experience sandstorms now. The absence of sandstorms means that the country’s efforts
in reforestation have led to remarkable achievements.

A new study using data from NASA satellites shows that China and India, the two
most populous countries in the world, are leading the increase in greening on land. The
researchers found that the global green leaf area has increased by 5 percent since the early
2000s. The increased area is around the size of the Amazon rainforests.

China initiated its reforestation programme of “Grain for Green” in 1999 to mitigate
and prevent flooding and soil erosion. This programme, which involved 124 million people,
is the largest ecological project in human history. According to the website of the National
Forestry and Grassland Administration of China, from 2013 to 2018, China planted 338,000
square kilometres of forests at a cost of $82.88 billion. China aims to increase the forest
coverage to 23.04 percent by 2020, and to 26 percent by 2035.

The Malayan tapir is a large mammal. It has distinctive black and white stripes. The Test 2
Malayan tapir’s colouring is a camouflage to protect them from their enemies. It lives in
the jungles and forest regions of the southern and central parts of Sumatra (Indonesia),
Peninsular Malaysia, Thailand and Myanmar. The Malayan tapir has a stubby, vestigial tail
and a flexible proboscis. Furthermore, it has four hooves on its front feet and three hooves
on its rear feet.

The Malayan tapir can grow to an average of 2.15 m in length. It can stand an
average of 100 cm tall. The Malayan tapir usually weighs an average of 285 kg, although
some adults have been known to weigh up to 540 kg. The females are usually larger than
the males. The Malayan tapir is a herbivore. It eats leaves, twigs, branches, buds, shoots,
berries, fruits and aquatic plants.

The Malayan tapir was first listed as endangered in 1986. This is due to loss of
available habitat and also because they are increasingly being hunted. After 36 years, its
population has been estimated to have declined by 50%. It is therefore important that
something should be done to protect this animal from going extinct.

Li Wen Liang was an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital. On 31 December Test 2
2019, Li was sitting in his room in the hospital, flipping through the patients’ reports. The
patients were the stall owners at Huanan Seafood Market. Li was shocked to see a high level
of similarity between the symptoms shown by the patients and SARS, the disease which led
to a global epidemic in 2003.

“This situation is critical! I must let my friends know this shocking news!” Li thought to
himself. He whipped out his phone and typed a message – “Seven confirmed cases of SARS
have been reported to the hospital from Huanan Seafood Market. Please remind your family
members and friends to take protective measures!” Without hesitation, he hit the button and
sent the alarming message to everyone in a private WeChat group of his medical school
classmates.

Catching a whiff of danger, Li’s classmates immediately shared the information with
other medical staff. Within days, the screenshots of Li’s WeChat messages had gone viral
on Chinese online forums. Consequently, the police interrogated Li for the leaked information
online. After investigation, the police found that Li did not have enough evidence to back up
his claim. Therefore, they wrongly concluded that Li’s messages for his friends were not true.
As a punishment, they made Li sign a letter of admonition.

After that, Li returned to work in the hospital as usual. On 8 January 2020, a patient was
assigned to Li. That patient had a fever and cough. Coincidentally, he was a storekeeper at
Huanan Seafood Market. Seeing the symptoms, Li had a bad feeling about the what was lying
ahead. “Send him to Ward F for further observation,” said Li to a nurse. Li was frustrated that
he did not have enough evidence to convince everyone that the scary epidemic was about
to break out. All he could do was to wait for the other shoe to drop.

The inevitable tragedy finally happened. Li developed a fever and a cough. His condition
was so severe that he was admitted to the intensive care unit at Houhu Hospital immediately.
Around the same time, the court in Wuhan ruled that Li had been unfairly punished and Li was
relieved to hear the news. Unfortunately, Li’s condition became critical on 7 February 2020.
He had been having breathing difficulty since his infection and oxygen saturation in his blood
had dropped to 85%. Due to the sudden health worsening, Li was sent to the emergency room.
Despite the efforts by the hospital, Li succumbed to Coronavirus infection eventually. His
heartbeat stopped at 9:30 p.m. on the same day. Due to Li’s contribution in whistle-blowing,
he was hailed as the hero of China during the hard times of Coronavirus epidemic.

The Earth is getting more polluted day by day. Therefore, humans, animals and plants are Test 2
getting sicker. Therefore, it is up to all of us to start saving the environment before it is too late.
One of the ways to save the environment is by using reusable bags. The plastic grocery
bags may be convenient but when they get thrown out, they end up in landfills or the sea. When
they end up in the sea, the sea creatures might think they are food and eat them. They then end
up getting sick, suffering and dying. These plastic bags take a while to decompose, too. Another
way to save the environment is by printing as few as possible. When you print a lot, you end up
using a lot of papers. This means more trees have to be unnecessarily cut down. Instead, print
on both sides of a sheet of paper to reduce the amount of papers used. You can also print on
recycled papers.
Recycling is another way to cut down our carbon footprints. Nowadays, there are recycling
centres in every town, therefore it is very easy to take your recyclable wastes there. Examples
of recyclable wastes are plastic bottles, papers, cardboards, metals, glass bottles and others.
Furthermore, try using a reusable beverage container instead of buying packaged drinks. This
will help you save the environment, and also help you save money.
Saving electricity can help us save the environment, too. Try using energy-efficient light
bulbs instead of regular bulbs. They will last longer and help you to save some money. Also make

Beaches strewn with rubbish are an eyesore to many eyes. Therefore, Nature Hero

Langkawi, a non-governmental organisation, is set up to return the beaches in Langkawi to

its previous beautiful state. (1) So, last week, I contacted the person-in-charge

of the organisation through Facebook and joined them in their next clean-up on the weekend.

On Saturday morning, I reached Pantai Tanjung Rhu at 7 a.m. Upon reaching the

beach, I saw a group of yellow shirt-clad volunteers at the roadside. (2) They

had different jobs and were of different age groups. However, they came together to make a

difference in Langkawi. The clean-up started at 8 a.m. in the morning. (3) We

found many types of rubbish there such as empty cans, plastic bags, Styrofoam boxes and

shards of glass.

When we were collecting the rubbish, we told each other jokes and interesting stories

in our life. (4) After three hours, the clean-up had come to an end. We had

collected around 200 kg of trash! (5) Then, we put it in plastic bags and sent
them to the recycling centre. (6) I will definitely join the clean-up in future
again.

A We divided the trash into different categories.
B The volunteers were from all walks of life.
C The little boy hurt his wrist while picking the broken glass bottle.
D The job of cleaning up the beach was not tedious and tiring at all when we were working

with a group of funny people!

E I have always wanted to join the noble cause of this organisation.
F It was a hot and breezy day.
G Looking at the sandy white beach, I felt honoured to be part of these amazing volunteers.
H After a short briefing by the leader, all of us started collecting rubbish on the beach.

Test 2 TURTLE WATCHING

Recently, my friends and I decided to go turtle watching at Rantau Abang, Terengganu.

We waited patiently together with a guide at a deserted children’s playground for almost

an hour. (1) Around 10 p.m., our guide was walking towards us excitedly.

(2)
All of us felt very excited as it was our first ever turtle watching experience.

(3) . He said that we were lucky because although we came at the end of
September, we were still able to watch a turtle lay eggs.

We all made our way quietly in the the light of the waning moon above. (4)
Our guide suddenly stopped and pointed to a spot under a large tree. He asked us if we could

see something crawling near some rocks. Since our surroundings were pitch black, it was
difficult for my friends and I to see anything. Our guide said that we could not turn on the

lights while the mother turtle was digging the egg chamber. (5)

At around 10.59 p.m., the first egg was laid and our guide shone some light on the

egg chamber. (6) At the end of the process, there were 119 eggs. After laying

the eggs, the mother turtle went back into the ocean.

It was indeed the most wonderful experience. My friends and I wish to come again

another time.

A She might feel threatened and just go back into the ocean without nesting.
B According to our guide, the peak months for turtle sightings are from May to July.
C We all felt very nervous as we waited together.
D We walked through large rocks and fallen tree branches on the sandy beach.
E We saw ping pong-sized eggs being quickly laid into a deep pit.
F While waiting, we swatted flies and mosquitoes with our hands.
G The mother turtle waddled towards a large tree.
H He said he saw a green turtle coming ashore to nest.

HOW I STAY STRESS-FREE Test 2

When I first started secondary school, I felt stressed. (1) Although I still
enjoyed going to school, at times I felt overwhelmed and stressed.

One day, I decided to talk to the school counsellor about my high stress levels.
(2) She then told me in order to reduce my stress levels, I first had to eat

healthily. I must cut down on junk food and not skip my meals. I realised she was right.

(3)
My counsellor then advised me to get enough sleep. This means cutting down on

screen time and not taking caffeine close to bedtime. (4) I also liked to drink

coffee around six in the evening. I decided to cut down on late night television watching.

I also decided not to drink coffee in the evenings.

I was also told to exercise more. (5) The truth was I was just too lazy to

exercise. My counsellor said I had to schedule at least half an hour a day for exercise. Apart

from that, my counsellor said I had to spend some time hanging out with friends or doing

things unrelated to my studies such as a hobby. (6)

After meeting my counsellor, I felt as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

I followed her tips and now I do not feel so stressed.

A I did like watching television until late at night.
B I did eat a lot of junk food and often skipped breakfast.
C She also gave me a lot of other tips to help me overcome my stress.
D My family liked eating home-cooked food
E I had so much more to study, a lot of projects to do and co-curricular activities to attend.
F I always played sports with my sister.
G I admitted I hardly exercised and often gave the excuse that I was too busy.
H My counsellor assured me that she could help me.
