Underwater Photography

Hello! My name is Serena (0) but I love taking photos underwater.

Underwater photography (9) allowing me to see the world from a completely
different viewpoint. It is (10) an great way of creating fantastic pictures. I started
doing this when I (11) is ten. My uncle showed me a picture of a turtle that he
took while diving. It was beautiful so I (12) asks my uncle to take me along on his
next trip. Soon after that, I went to Redang Island with (13) he. Now,
I (14) had a collection of pictures showing 35 different underwater creatures.
One of the biggest challenges for me is to (15) holding my breath underwater.
I also need to stay still and take as many (16) photo as I can. However, I truly enjoy
the experience. I think that everyone should try diving at least once in their lifetime.

Read the text below and answer questions 17 to 24.

FAMILY GRILLED CHICKEN

The famous Family Grilled Chicken is my favourite restaurant. I will always

find myself chewing clean a drumstick and licking my fingers every time I eat the
grilled chicken bought from the restaurant. Secret spices are mixed and rubbed all
over the chicken before it is grilled over a charcoal fire for hours. It is then served
with black pepper sauce.

The Family Grilled Chicken restaurant is only open on weekends. You can
find it on Tempurung Road. It’s fastest to use the short-cut along Rimbun Road. The
restaurant’s doors are closed until 5 p.m., but some loyal customers will even start
queuing up as early as 4.30 p.m. A whole fresh chicken at the food market would
usually cost between RM15 and RM20, but here I can enjoy a cooked one for only
RM16! It’s a great deal.

As the chickens are cooked in batches and left on the grill, there is always
piping hot, tender chicken to be enjoyed. For just RM5, you can add on fried rice.
It’s a shame that they don’t do my favourite dish – mashed potato – but salad is
another option if you prefer something healthier.

The owner started the stall because he loved grilled chicken. He was an
engineer before becoming the successful businessman that he is now. He first
learned the recipe from his uncle in 2010. He spent the following year trying out the
recipe before opening his stall in 2011. He has been grilling delicious chicken and
filling people’s stomachs ever since!

SPORTS AND ME

My parents encouraged me to play lots of sports while I was growing up. I was far better at
some than others!
When I was five years old, my mother signed me up for tennis classes. 35. During
my first lesson, the coach sent a tennis ball flying into my cheek by mistake! That was when I started
to have a fear of tennis balls. That ended my mother’s dream of seeing me become a tennis star.
When I was seven, my father bought badminton rackets for my brother and me.
36. Despite my best efforts, I just couldn’t get my serve right. It was no surprise that the
practice sessions ended shortly after that.
37. I tried another sport, netball. It was one of the few that I really enjoyed playing.
I even got selected for the school team at the age of 11. From there on, I spent hours learning the
correct way to pass and catch the ball.
Even though I was very short, I played in ‘goal defence’ position in competitions. At one
competition, I tried very hard to block an extremely tall goal shooter. 38. This defeat
made me question if netball was the right sport for me.
The only sport that I’m interested in now is taekwondo. I was 12 years old when I first joined
my taekwondo club. I was the smallest in the class, but I enjoyed the activities every
week. There were times when I got injured and hurt my ankle during training sessions. 39.
I attended all the weekly taekwondo classes and passed all the tests.
With time and effort, I finally received my black belt and managed to win several prizes in
competitions. 40. I hope one day I’ll be able to join the Malaysian team and make my
country proud.
