Advanced: Reading Comprehension

I was born in a sea-side town in Malaysia called Mersing. Its a small

town with a population of about fifty thousand people, so its relativelypeaceful. The landscape has maintained its natural appearance, andmany foreigners flock to Mersing every summer to behold itspicturesque beauty.

The main occupation in Mersing is fishing. In the past decade, tourismhas also become profitable for many locals. Tourists start arriving in

May, and by June, the small streets of Mersing are flooded with people.

Mersings population is made up of Malays, Chinese, and Indians. The

majority are Malays. They make their living as fishermen or farmers.The Chinese are shopkeepers or hotel owners. The Indians, which are

the minority in Mersing, are civil servants or rubber tappers.

Sometimes it amazes me that so many tourists come to Mersing. The

town only has three streets with shops. Many people wouldnt enjoyliving here, but its home to me.
