A Memorable Nature Expedition Last month, my friends and I participated in a nature expedition called Green Youth Initiative. It is an annual programme for teenagers aged 15 to 17 years old. The five-day, four-night programme took place in Kinabatangan and included rides down the Kinabatangan River in Sabah. The programme takes 30 participants to the rainforest and teaches them how to be peer educators so they can spread the message of environmental conservation and preservation to their classmates, schoolmates and peers. Our adventure in Kinabatangan began as soon as we arrived in Sabah. We landed in Sandakan and then, took a speed boat to Sukau. It was a two-hour boat ride. I didn’t realise where the time went because I was too busy taking in the sights. I saw a variety of fish swimming in the river and birds in trees on both sides of the river. Half way into our boat ride, I saw a herd of elephants. One trumpeted loudly as we passed by. I was mesmerised by my surroundings. The expedition was already off to a great start! I couldn’t wait for what was in store. We camped outdoors and relished every minute being of so close to nature. We participated in various activities to increase our knowledge and understanding of the ecosystems and animal life in our surroundings. I took notes and a lot of photos. I saw wildlife in their natural surroundings. During a boat ride one afternoon, I saw proboscis monkeys and hornbills in the trees. On another day, we went fishing. I set traps to catch prawns while others used nets to catch fish. We had a good bounty. Now that my friends and I are back at school, we are going to organise a talk. We plan to tell our peers about our experience and include a video presentation of the places, plants and animals we saw. We are confident our talk will stir their interest and they will get involved in future wildlife preservation and conservation programmes. 1. The annual nature expedition is known as . 2. How long was the nature expedition? 3. After the boat ride along Kinabatangan river, the participants got off in .

So far, I’ve spent the holidays catching up with my neighbourhood friends and cousins. What have you been up to? I’m writing to invite you to attend a workshop called ‘Be a Smart Shopper’. The one-day workshop is on 29 November from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It’ll be held at The Continental Hotel. I’ve attached the advertisement with my email. I think we’ll benefit from attending the workshop. It offers to teach us how to shop wisely so we can save money, learn to spot a good deal and identify value-for-money deals. Besides giving us tips about shopping at brick and mortar stores, there’s a session about online shopping. I’m looking forward to this session because I’ve never shopped online before. I want to learn about the dos and don’ts especially how to shop safely. I called the organiser, Secure Future, yesterday just to get more information. Actually, there is a website but I thought it’d be better if I spoke to someone. This is what I found out. The fee is RM55 per person but if we register before 10 November, we’ll get RM5 off. Lunch and snacks are provided as well as handouts. However, if we decide to become a member of the ‘Profit Club’, we’ll get a biannual newsletter. It has information to help increase our financial literacy. We’ll also get a 20% discount on future events organised. The membership fee is RM30 per year. I’ve asked my parents and they’ve agreed to let me attend the workshop. I haven’t decided whether I’d be a member of the ‘Profit Club’. I thought I’d get more details when I go for the workshop.
