Question 4
Read the text below.
Priyanka and her family spent the school holidays at a Malay village in Kedah. They joined a
homestay programme together with a few other families. When they arrived, they were given a warm
welcome. A few men played the kompang, a traditional Malay drum while several young boys put on a
silat performance. Silat is a traditional Malay martial art.
Then, the guests met their respective host families. They were invited to have lunch by the
river. They tried some Kedahan dishes such as kerabu, gulai masak pedas and laksa Kedah. After such
a hearty lunch, they went to their foster familys home to rest.
The following day, Priyanka woke up early. She went outside and saw some of the villagers in
their boats by the river. She hoped she would be able to try that. After breakfast, the family were taught
how to weave mats and baskets out of mengkuang leaves.
At 11.30 a.m., Priyanka and the other families went to a paddy field. There, she saw a boy
catching fish. He invited them to join him. With so many people in the paddy field, it soon became a
muddy mess. Priyanka learnt how to use a fish trap and caught two fish.
After a long bath, Priyanka and her family had dinner. The fish that was caught earlier was
grilled and served. As the families ate, they were entertained by a wayang kulit shadow theatre
performance. Although Priyanka was very tired, she fixed her gaze on the performance.
