Sections C [25 marks] suggested: 50 minutes] [Time Questions 26-31 Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. The whispers and giggles woke me up early in the morning. Across the room, curious children peeked over the open window's edge. Feeling a liule embarrassed to be caught sleeping on the table, I waved them off and got myself together. Refugee camp or not, I still needed the first few minutes of the day to myself. Half an hour later I presented myself to the Red Crescent office. I was ready to begin work as the Social Care Coordinator at the Pulau Bidong Vietnamese Boat People (VBP) Carnp off the coast of Terengganu, Malaysia. It was June 1979. As a fresh sociology grad, I was bent on changing the world, or at least the world of the 46,000 refugees crowded onto 100 hectares of land. The Red Crescent Office and store was one of the few real buildings in the camp. The others were a camp hospital, the offices for the third country delegations, and the Joint Malaysian Army & Navy Base Head quarters. There was also a church, which the refugees had built with the wood found on the island. I was brought to see the chairman of the VBP Carnp Committee. He was delighted. "Finally! Something more than the basic necessities was in sight," he said. He wanted activities for the women and children to be organized. Supplies and clothing to enable the running of English classes. Work groups and other sessions that would help to sustain life in the camp and prepare the refugees for their new lives in countries such as the United States, Australia and Germany. I was expected to help coordinate the movement of these supplies and work with the camp Committee to ensure they were used appropriately. I learnt all this over breakfast with the committee. Our meal caught me by surprise-delicious freshly baked French loaves with butter and hot tea. They told me if I stayed at the camp long enough, I would come to know the places where I could eat delicious Vietnamese food, courtesy of camp residents who could cook. Then I met the delegates from different countries, the people who decided who would be accepted to which countries. Finally I was assigned a translator. His name was Lam Van Dai. We toured the rest of the camp and I saw that most of the refugees Iived in tents or shacks built with scrap wood, tarpaulin bags and anything else that was available. Long houses were being built to provide better accommodation, but until they were ready, it was up to each family's ingenuity to find the best accommodation they could. Indeed, the island's natural vegetation had long been stripped to make temporary housing. Water sources were no longer potable. Daily ferries brought in water, two buckets per household. People waited patiently in queues that snaked up and down the shoreline near the makeshift jetty to collect it.

After the tour, Lam invited me home for dinner with his wife and four kids. "Home was a makeshift, one-room shelter of tarpaulins supported by sticks. Over the course of the evening, they not only shared their ration of instant noodles and sardines with me, but also their hopes and dreams. He was among the lucky ones on the camps because he
had worked for the Americans and he could speak English. Mostly he spoke of the terrible journey across the South China Sea, the fear of being killed by the pirates and the long days in the sea without water, and how they

had to hold on to the hope that they would reach safety. That night, I took a few minutes to look back over my day as I stared at the zinc walls. There was so much to do. I really did not know how I was going to do it.

Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.

Nature We have neither Summer nor Winter Neither Autumn nor Spring. We have instead the days When the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields Magnificently. The days when the rain beats like bullets on the roofs And there is no sound but the swish of water in the gullies And trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds. Also there are the days when the leaves fade from off

guango trees And the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun. But best of all there are the days when the mango and the logwood blossom When the bushes are full of the sound of bees and the scent of honey, When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of air, When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow
stars

And beauty comes suddenly and the rains have gone.
