📖 Part 1: Story Passage

Instructions: Read the passage carefully, then complete the activities below.

The School Holiday Adventure

Last summer, Maya and her brother Jake decided to explore the bush tracks near their home in Rotorua. The temperature was a perfect 22°C, and they packed their backpacks with sandwiches, water bottles, and a first aid kit.

After walking for two kilometres, they discovered a hidden waterfall cascading down moss-covered rocks. The crystal-clear water sparkled in the sunlight, and native birds chirped melodiously in the surrounding trees. Maya pulled out her camera to capture the breathtaking scenery.

Suddenly, Jake spotted something unusual behind the waterfall – a small cave entrance partially concealed by hanging vines. "Should we investigate?" he whispered excitedly. Maya nodded eagerly, and together they carefully approached the mysterious opening.
