 This weekend, and every weekend when it does not rain, you should go out to do some exercise (walk, stretch, play basketball, bike etc). Take a selfie and send that to me. If you don't do that, there is no evidence to show that you participate in the TDSB physical literacy workout program. I will deduct marks from PhE in the June reports.

            Birds have always fascinated humans.  Bird watching first became a p_ _ _ _ _ _  hobby in the l_ _ _  nineteenth century.  People began to e_ _ _ _  listening to the sounds of birds and watching rare and unusual b_ _ _ _.

            If you go bird watching, it is a g_ _ _  idea to have a p_ _ _  of binoculars with you.  You can also take down n_ _ _ _  about the birds you see.

            Bird books are u_ _ _ _ _  because they will help you to i_ _ _ _ _ _ _  birds you don’t k_ _ _  when you see them.  You can also try to get r_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  of birdsongs, which e_ _ _ _ _  you to appreciate the birds even m_ _ _.

            Some bird watchers take along a c_ _ _ _ _  to take photographs and others take along v_ _ _ _  recorders to film the birds in a_ _ _ _ _.

            Unfortunately, some p_ _ _ _ _  still kill birds for s_ _ _ _.  Bird lovers constantly  p_ _ _ _ _ _ when they see or hear of birds being k_ _ _ _ _  in this manner.  They feel that it is inhumane to simply kill birds for the sake of sport.

            The Japanese took only ten weeks to conquer Malaysia and Singapore during World War II.  Do you know why the Japanese had such an e_ _ _  victory?

            The British were t_ _ _ _ _ _  unprepared for the w_ _.  They had insufficient troops stationed in the a_ _ _.  The Japanese knew that they had more t_ _ _ _ _  in Singapore as compared to Malaysia, so they a_ _ _ _ _ _ _  from the north instead.

            Their first t_ _ _ _ _  was Kota Bharu.  When the British s_ _ _  two warships to the north, the J_ _ _ _ _ _ _  sank them and further w_ _ _ _ _ _ _  the British.

            The Japanese army was superior to the British a_ _ _.  Japanese soldiers were well-trained and experienced.  The British s_ _ _ _ _ _ _, on the other had, had no fighting e_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.  The British army was also m_ _ _  smaller than the Japanese army.  The w_ _ _ _ _ _   that the Japanese used were modern c_ _ _ _ _ _ _  to the older ones of the B_ _ _ _ _ _.

            The British were more concerned about defending other bigger countries a_ _ _ _ _ _  the Japanese.  They were n_ _ _ _  going to allow Britain to fall into the hands of the Japanese.

Cloze Passage-6    Fill in the appropriate word for each space given.

Quicksand is a mass of extremely fine sand filled with water.  This s_ _ _  cannot support any weight because it contains a large a_ _ _ _ _  of water. The water cannot be drained a_ _ _  because there is a layer of a certain clay-like substance under the s_ _ _ .   This water forces the g_ _ _ _ _  of sand to separate.

            When an object is thrown into q_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _,  it will s_ _ _ _  to sink.  Similarly, if a person steps into quicksand, it f_ _ _ _  as though the person has stepped into a puddle of w_ _ _ _.  Quicksand does not really pull a person d_ _ _, it only seems to be doing so.

            If a person is c_ _ _ _ _  in some quicksand, he should act as t_ _ _ _ _  he is in water.  The most important thing to d_  is keep calm.  Struggling and moving frantically w_ _ _  you are in quicksand will only c_ _ _ _  you to sink into it much f_ _ _ _ _.

            The p_ _ _ _ _  should lie on his back with the arms and l_ _ _  outstretched.

            It is easier to r_ _ _ _ _  a person who is floating on quicksand.  He can be rescued by p_ _ _ _ _ _  a flat object on t_ _   of the quicksand.  Once this is done, the rescuers can carefully pull the person to s_ _ _ _ _.

Cloze Passage-7    Fill in the appropriate word for each space given.

Robots perform many tasks in this modern w_ _ _ _.   They help to make cars, fly p_ _ _ _ _, prepare salaries, and balance accounts.

            A_ _ _ _ _ _ _  they can do many things that h_ _ _ _ _  can, they do not look exactly like us.  They are b_ _ _ _ in whatever shape that is s_ _ _ _ _ _ _  for them to carry out their t_ _ _ _.  For example, some robots are g_ _ _ _ an arm if they are used to a_ _ _ _ _ _ _  cars or weld objects.

            All robots are installed with a c_ _ _ _ _ _ _.  This computer has a memory to understand and remember i_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.  This is an i_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  prerequisite for it to p_ _ _ _ _ _  its tasks.

            There are m_ _ _  advantages in using r_ _ _ _ _.  Firstly, they can work continuously for long  stretches of t_ _ _  because they don’t suffer f_ _ _  exhaustion.

            S_ _ _ _ _ _ _,  they can work under harsh c_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ such as environments which are dangerous or v_ _ _  noisy.  Lastly, it costs l_ _ _ to use robots in some industries than to e_ _ _ _ _  human workers.

            H_ _ _ _ _ _,  it is not possible to use robots in the home y_ _.  It is too expensive to m_ _ _ _ _ _ _  a robot for personal u_ _.  Of course, even this may change in the years to come.
