RECOUNT TEXT

Last Friday, a friend of mine asked me to accompany him to buy a new shirt at a
department store. We left home at 03.00 p.m. by motorcycle. As soon as we arrived there,
we went to the clothes section. I let him choose one. An hour later, I got bored watching
him confused in choosing a shirt. So I left him and went to the cassette counter. Thirty
minutes later, I went back to the clothes section but I couldn’t find him there. My cell phone
was broken so I couldn’t call him. I went to the parking area. I saw his motorcycle was there
but I couldn’t find him. I waited for him for a few moments then finally I gave up and
decided to go home.
When I arrived home, my mother told me that my friend called. She said that he was in the
department store looking for me. My mother asked me to come back to the department
store. Reluctantly, I walked to the department store and you know what? When I arrived
there his motorcycle was not in the parking area. He just went home. I was very tired. There
was no other choice, I had to walk home again. When I arrived home, I was so tired. I was
very angry but when I saw my friend’s broad smile greet me in front of the door, I just could
not help laughing.

EXPLANATION TEXT

The following text is for questions 1 to 4.

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells
and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into
substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process
is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small
pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth.
Saliva contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach.
Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours.
Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are
squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi
(microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.
