Question 22Read the diary below and answer the questions that follow.

My Diary8 June

I’m so happy to be in Langkawi. My room overlooks the ocean and the view is simply beautiful!

Today, we visited a house called the Root House. It looks like a giant ginseng root! Its owner, Abang Zul, greeted us cheerfully.

Abang Zul collected pieces of old wood that people threw away when they renovated their houses. He thought the wood looked unique and began to use it to build his own house. Besides that, he also used tree roots, ship rope and carpets.

The Root House is so unique that Abang Zul has been receiving daily visits from tourists who want to take photographs of the house.

We watched a tourist from Canada paint a picture of the house. The picture was almost identical to the house!

We said goodbye to Abang Zul before heading to the Batik Village. He said he would keep on adding to his house to make it more comfortable.

I hope to see the changes when Father brings me back to this beautiful island.

Question 23Read the text below and answer the questions that follow.

Chester Greenwood was a 15-year-old boy who lived in Maine, United States. One winter day in 1873, he was trying out his new ice skates that he received for his birthday. As he was having fun, his ears began to hurt from the cold. He tried to cover his ears with his scarf but it did not help.

Then, Greenwood had an idea. He made a pair of earmuffs by using a wire and beaver skin pads. First, he moulded the wire to form a frame. After that, he asked his grandmother to sew beaver skin pads onto the frame. The earmuffs were able to keep his ears warm and Greenwood was over the moon that he had solved the problem. That was how the world’s first earmuffs were created. At first, the boys in his neighbourhood made fun of his earmuffs. Then, they all started to ask for one of their own.

Over the years, Greenwood went on to invent more things and became a celebrated inventor. In 1977, the Maine State Legislature officially declared 21 December, the first day of winter, as Chester Greenwood Day.
