Question 4 Read the passage below about gorillas.
My uncle, Sam, is almost 70 years old. He wears a pair of round spectacles that look large for his small wrinkled face. He has a short but thick beard. It is partially grey. How large is his family? He does not have a family at all. He is a bachelor and a happy one too. He stays in a small house in a calm village by the Mada River in Kedah. He has been staying there for almost thirty years. In the morning, he takes a short walk around the neighbourhood enjoying the cool fresh air. He likes to listen to birds’ chirping in the morning as it makes him very happy. Then after a simple breakfast, he goes to work in the paddy fields a short distance awa y from his house. He works until 11 a.m. Despite his age, he is never resting. From noon onwards, he works in his vegetable farm. He grows many types of vegetables. When they are harvested, he sells some of them. He gives away the rest free to several poor families in the neighbourhood. He feels happy to be of help to them.

Sad I Ams I am the ring from an empty Cola can the scrapings from an unwashed porridge pan the severed arm of last year's Action Man.

I am the battery in which no charge is left the starter motor which remains inert the tyre on which the tread is worn the sparking plug which shows no sign of spark the carburettor chocked by bits of dirt the chromium trim from which the shine has gone. I am a garden overgrown with weeds a library book that no one ever reads a stray which no one thinks to feed the piece of good advice which no one seems to need.
