Read the passage below and answer the questions
that follow. |

|
New York has Central Park; London Hyde Park
while Kuala Lumpur has its own piece of green
belt amidst the hustle and bustle of city life.
It's an ideal place for a leisurely stroll in a
tranquil setting, all without having to leave
the city. The Lake Gardens was created by Sir
Alfred Venning, who persuaded the ruling
government to allow him to turn a swamp land
into rambling trails with man-made lakes,
spanning 60 hectares. However, as the city
expanded, the Lake Gardens reduced in size.
However, it is still a sizeable area and boasts
of more than just grass and water within its
grounds. For example, the gardens incorporate
the National Monument, Bird Park, Hibiscus
Garden as well as Malaysia's Parliament House.
Additionally, Carcosa Seri Negara is on a
hilltop overlooking the Lake Gardens. Today, the
nineteenth-century British colonial mansion has
been converted
into a exclusive hotel. |
