II. Read the text and answer the questions carefully! I am Novela, as student of Cemerlang Junior High School, Singapore. Let me tell you my experience in having a trip with my classmates. During the June holidays, my class organized a picnic. We decided to go to Sentosa, 'one of Singapore's well-developed island resorts. Each student had to pay sixty cents for transport. Also every student taking part had to get a letter of consent from his or her parents. On the day of the picnic, I woke up early and packed all the necessary things in a bag and went to school. Punctually at 9 o'clock, the school bus picked us up and we were soon on our way to the harbor. We crossed over to Sentosa by ferry. As it was a weekend, the island was crowded with merry picnickers and tourists. We walked to the stretch of beach fringing the lagoon. It was an ideal picnic spot. The green atmosphere was most relaxing. We spent the rest of the morning swimming and playing in the cool water. At noon, we decided to have lunch. We unpacked our picnic baskets and started eating. The food disappeared very quickly. It was lovely sitting there on the sunny beach with the sea water lapping at our feet as we ate. After lunch, we sang several songs and played some exciting games. All too soon, it was time to leave. We packed all the litter into paper bags, for we did not want to spoil the lovely beach. At 4 p.m., we left Sentosa by ferry and were soon homeward bound. Questions: 1. What is Sentosa? 2. Where did the students have an ideal picnic spot? 3. What did the students do in the beach before lunch? 4. Why did the students pack all the litter? 5.
