The following text is for questions 24 to 27.
It was six in the morning when my mother woke me up to go to market with
her. My eyelids were so heavy that when I opened them to look at her, all I
saw everything blur. I dragged myself from bed and began to change cloth.
We took a short walk to the market. My mother went on and on about what she
was going to buy for the day. That helped wake me up. By the end of that
short walk, I gathered that she was going to cook stew shepherd's pie for
the day.
The market was very crowded. I was wearing sneakers. I made it to avoid the
fish stalls that the floors were always muddy and wet. The old chicken
seller was as friendly as usual, greeting my mother with the widest grin. My
mother bargained hard for the best price and they landed on a price they
could both agree after two minutes.
When my mother finished her marketing, we sat down at the food centre for
our breakfast. I looked into the plastic bags and saw that she had some fish
in them too. It is too bad that I seldom pay attention to how my mother
chooses the food that she buys, preferring instead to pay more attention to
the people around me.

Camels are four-legged mammals with the ability to survive in a desert.
According to the data, there are only three species left of camels in the
world. They are: Dromedary Camels (one-humped camel), Bactrian Camels
(two-humped camel) and Wild Bactrian Camel which has a very limited
population. Only some place in the world are inhabited by camels, those
places are: The Middle East, The Horn of Africa, Central Asia, Northwest
China and Mongolia. Camels can provide a lot of things for humans, for
example: they produce milk, we can eat their meat, we can use their hair for
textiles, and we can also ride on them or use them as a courier to bring our
belongings.
Camels legs are very long. It is recorded that the average height of a
full-grown adult camel can reach 1.85 m, it could reach the height of 2.15 m

the fat that can be changed into water to keep their body hydrated whenever
food and water is scarce. It is located on top of their back. Their head
resembles the head of a horse and their eyes is located on each side of the
head. Their eyes are protected by the three eyelid and two rows of long
lashes, which help them survive the blowing sand. They can also shut their
nostrils when the sand storms are coming.
Most camels can live up to 50 years old. An adult camel can reach 1,000 kg
of body weight. Even with this heavy body, they can still run at 65 km/h and
sustain its speed at 40 km/h in a long-range run. They are herbivore, since
