Reading Activity 1.


Looking at the title and the image on the front page what do you think the story is about?I think the story is about something happening outside the window and that they can not sleep from the big yelling voice from outside the house.

Why was Ai Ling’s father walking inside wobbling?Because he must of got drunk and the way he had lost his money when he was gambling in a casino.



How did her mother react to her father coming home at this time? She was really pissed and she just wanted to do something to her husband and to also kick him outside the house , and Ai Ling’s mother tried to teach her husband a lesson by telling him not to waste his money on gambling and to use his money on his children.



Where had her father been, how did they feel about her father being at this place?the children’s father had been gambling at a casino and his family was not happy about how he had been really unfair to his kids by not buying any food or Items for his children.  

Why was Ai’s mum banging and making as much noise as she could while putting the pots and pans away?Because she was really angry that he went gambling and not helping the family by doing the chores and not buying any food.

In what way do Ai and her mother view her father as being ‘bad’?He kept on going to the Mah-Jong place and that made Ai Ling want to run away.

Is Ai happy at home? Why/why not? How do we know this?No because she could not sleep and she just keeped on hearing yelling , Banging , and slamming when she was trying to sleep.

How can we gather that Ai’s mother was angry as a result of her father staying out late again? (Refer to the image and text)?She was really angry that she wanted to leave her husband go gambling she is just going to leave him to get hurt and it would be his fault.

Where is Ai’s mother taking her and her brother? For what reason do you think her mother is doing this?Ai’s mother was taking the children in the car to go and find her husband because he just keeped on going gambling and wasting money and they had to go to every Mah-Jong Parlour in Sibu.

Predict what you think will happen next in the story. What is your reasoning for your prediction?I think that when they try to find the husband they did not find him and just keeped on looking and looking.
