LS 4.2.1, 4.2.2 & 4.2.3

Hi,
My family and I are having a picnic next Saturday, at Templer Park. I have asked
Rahul and Liana, too. It will be fun when we get together! Our plan is to hike to the waterfall,
which is about 2km from the parking area. I know you love the jungle and I think you have
not been there yet! It’s another reason why I am asking you to join us.
Would you like to come along? You have experience in trekking so you may guide us
during our hiking trip - or perhaps advise us on other preparations before going for our picnic.
I really hope that you are free to come along with us on that day.

Hi, To, Test 2
I’m in Sabah enjoying the beautiful beaches. However, I
am worried about the jellyfish sting so I decided not to go
snorkelling or diving. I think I’m going to visit Ranau and
then try hiking up the Mount Kinabalu. I’ll certainly enjoy
the magnificent views and the cool weather on my way up.
Please share your experience in climbing the mountain or
any other places you have visited in Sabah.

I’ve just come back from my holiday in China. It was winter there and I wasn’t able to really

Hi, Test 2
I took part in a cleaning campaign organised by the Recreational Club of my school last Saturday. We went to the
Ramvong Waterfall, a favourite picnic spot which is about 6 km from the school. The place looks great after the
clean-up. If only people who go there think about their responsibility in taking care of the environment!
