Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Hai Raya Puasa is a Muslim festival. It is celebrated to mark the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. During the fasting period, Muslims do not eat or drink from sunrise to sunset. They break their fast daily by praying in the evening. The Muslims will buy various kinds of goodies for the children a week or two before the festival. On the eve of Hari Raya, they prepare food which is for feasting together with their Muslim friends and relatives. This shows clearly their working spirit ('gotong royong').

Their specialties such as 'satay' and 'ketupat' are very popular among non-Muslims too. The Muslims attend mosque services in their new clothes on Hari Raya. Visting relatives and friends is another customary practive. The Muslims also invite their friends of other races to their homes where many delicacies are served on this special occasion.

　　　 Last Sunday, Lindy and her family　 went to the East Coast Park. They went there early in the morning as Mr Lim wanted to have a morning jog. The family jogged for one hour before they　 proceeded to do their favourite activity. They liked to cycle and enjoyed the breeze. While they cycled, they chatted and admired the beautiful scenery. After that, Lindy pestered her parents to skate with her. Eventually, Mr and Mrs Lim agreed reluctantly. They did not like that activity as they felt they were too old for it. They skated for an hour and felt tired and hungry. As they had not eaten pizza for a long time, they had their meal at the nearby pizza restaurant.
