Question 4
Read the article.
Hamsters make wonderful pets. These furry lovable animals are
easy and inexpensive to keep. With proper attention and care,
hamsters can live up to five years.
When getting a hamster from a pet shop, you need to know which
hamster to choose. An ideal hamster is between 4 and 7 weeks old.
Hamsters are easier to tame when they are young. Choose a hamster
that is in good physical condition as they are more likely to be
healthy.
Next, place the cage in a location away from direct sunlight. A
hamster is a nocturnal animal. They need to sleep and rest during
the day. You should also pick a spot in the house where you will
frequently visit your hamster. Fill the cage with a 4-cm layer of
pine chips.
Keep the pine chips dry. If the chips get wet, they may rot and
cause your hamster to get sick. Keep a filled, clean water bottles
attached to the cage at a height where the spout is reachable by
the hamster. Wash and refill the water bottle daily. Hamsters eat
variety of food. However, it is recommended that you feed your
hamster seeds prepared with the vitamins and minerals they need to
stay healthy.
Do not bathe your hamster. Hamsters clean themselves. If you
think your hamster smells bad, the odour is probably coming from
dirty bedding. This means that you need to clean the cage more
often.
Hamsters need plenty of exercise. Put an exercise wheel in your
hamsters cage. Close the doors to your bedroom take your hamster
out of its cage and let it run around. Hamsters are curious animals
and like to explore their surroundings.
Finally, do not put two hamsters in a cage together. They will
either breed immediately or fight, which often leads to death.

Convention Hall this morning. After reading it carefully just now,
I realized that the famous indoor Family Carnival is back! The
carnival is held annually atthe Perdana Convention Hall and this
time it will be from 5 to 7September.
It will be open to the public from 10.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m.
According to the brochure, the activities likea colouring contest
and a dental check-up will be held on the second day of the
carnival. Then, there will be a talk for parents and a fire safety
workshop for children on the last day. Other than that,activities
such as a piano recital and fun games will be held at scheduled
times throughout the carnival.
I am very interested to go to the carnival. There are special
door gifts for thefirst 300 visitors as well as attractive
promotions from the companies involved in thecarnival. Besides
that, there are no admission charges to the event. I think I will
ask my parents to go there with me.It isa family day carnival,

THE
FAMILY CARNIVAL
How to Take Good Photographs
1 Hold your camera steadily
Grip the camera as firmly as possible. It often helps if you
stand with your feet apart.
Squeeze the shutter button gently.
2 Compose your picture with care
Look very carefully through the viewfinder before you press the
shutter.
Is the most interesting part of your picture in the centre?
Try to fill the frame with your subject.
Never have the sun shining directly into your eyes. Have the sun
shining from the side.
3 Photograph people in an interesting way
How many photographs show friends and family just standing
stiffly before the camera, with artificial smiles on their faces?
Why not show them doing something they normally do, something that
tells us more about them?
If possible, photograph them when they do not know you are doing
it.
4 Use flash sensibly
The flash on your camera cannot illuminate objects beyond three
metres. It certainly cannot light up large groups or a whole
room!
Beware of red eye! People should not look straight at the camera
when you are using a flash.
5 Read books
There are many books published to help beginners. Maybe you can
find one or two in your library or bookshop. A few hours reading
will enhance your skills.
6 Study interesting photographs
Carefully study photographs that you find pleasing. What can you
learn from them?
