Question

B THINK! Write a paragraph comparing the family in the text to your family. Write about: where your family lives, the food they like, their daily routine, what they are like.​

Answer 1

Unlike the nomadic Penan family living in the Borneo rainforest, my family resides in a suburban setting. Our home is a fixed structure, providing stability and comfort. While the Penan move from place to place, relying on the rainforest for survival, my family's lifestyle is more stationary, shaped by the routines of urban living. Our daily routine involves the typical rhythm of work, school, and domestic responsibilities. In terms of food preferences, my family enjoys a diverse diet influenced by the multicultural environment of our city. Unlike the Penan's simple breakfast of rice with fresh green vegetables, our meals reflect a broader range of culinary choices. However, similar to the Penan, our family values the bonds created through shared meals and helping one another. The warmth and hospitality experienced by the narrator in the rainforest resonates with the sense of belonging within our family, even though our surroundings and daily activities differ significantly.
