Places of interest in the district of Air Jernih

There are many scenic waterfalls and lakes in the district of
Air Jernih.
Seurut
To reach Seurut, take a 20-minutes boat ride from Jati Jetty.
Listen to the loud roars of the water that falls into a flat and
sandy area at the ground level. This area makes a perfect spot
for picnics. Many families with children come here early to
get the best picnic spot. But this place lacks dustbins.
Sembat
The water flows swiftly over a few slopes with rocks. It is
popular among those who like camping. There is a large area
for setting up the tents.
Sebewah
There are a few good fishing spots around the huge lake. It is
usually very crowded during weekends and public holidays.

Question 3
Read the text below.
Good morning students of SMK Taman Ehsan. Examination is
important and as such, you have to be well-prepared to perform your best. As
the examination period is approaching, some of you may have butterflies in
your stomach. But, do not worry. Today, I would like to share some tips on how
you can perform well in your examination.
Firstly, it is a bad habit to stay up late to catch up on your television
programme. Another bad habit is to revise at the eleventh hour. These bad
habits should not be encouraged. Always revise consistently, especially after
the lesson is taught.
Dont be afraid to ask questions in class. Talk to your teachers as
they can provide you with the necessary guidance. Besides, you can form a
study group. Group study enables you and your friends to share ideas and
opinions. This can be a valuable source of information, especially in the area
you are weak in.
Dont forget to bring along your identity card on the day of the
examination. Always arrive early, at least half an hour before the examination
starts. Never arrive just in time or late for the examination.
During examination, listen to the instructions attentively given by the
invigilator. He will tell you the time allocated to answer the questions and will
ask you to check the printed pages of the paper.
Use time given to you wisely in the examination. If you are unable to
answer a difficult question, do not waste your time on it. You can come back to
it later. Move on to do easier ones first. Once you have finished, do not leave
the hall. Read what you have answered and check your work. There may be
some errors which can be corrected.
These are the tips you can follow to prepare yourself for the
examination. Remember, our performance in the examination depends on our
efforts. Good luck.
Questions (a) (i):

Read the speech above and answer the questions below.

(a) State one bad habit to avoid when doing revision.
