ILHAM’S HOLIDAY IN LANGKAWI

2534, Jalan Merpati,
Taman Guru,

15100 Kota Bharu,
Kelantan.
14th February 2016

Dear Alistair,

How are you getting on? I hope life is treating you well. It was wonderful reading
your letter about your trip to Venice. Imagine a city that has canals instead of roads! How
interesting to travel on boats instead of cars and busses! I’m sure you had a wonderful
holiday. Coming back to London must have been boring!

One of my life’s ambitions is to travel to all these places. I am hoping to further
my study overseas and maybe we can travel together to Venice, Paris, Geneva and so

on!

I spent my holidays in Langkawi Island with my family. It was my first trip there and
we travelled by a local airline, Firefly. It is a small aeroplane and I felt nervous and anxious.
The aeroplane did not fly very high so I could see all the beautiful view from up above.
Sometimes the air turbulent made me dizzy but luckily it was just for a few seconds. The
stewardess showed us where the life jackets were kept and how to use them, in case of
emergency. Fortunately, we arrived safely at Langkawi International Airport.

Langkawi is one of the most beautiful islands in the country. It is also a shoppers’
paradise, for many things are cheaper than on the mainland.

We, children, spent our week swimming, boating and travelling to the smaller islands
around Langkawi. We travelled by ferry and small boats. Father spent his entire holiday,
fishing. He caught quite a lot of fish and became very popular with the kitchen staff of our
hotel.

It was an amazing and splendid holiday for our family. One day, if you ever visit
me in Malaysia, I’ll take you to Langkawi. It is still an unspoilt island with fresh air and white
beaches. You will fall in love with Langkawi, I reckon.

I’ll stop here as I have started yawning. Tomorrow, I’ll have to get up at six to
get ready for school.

Can’t wait to have another live conversation with you via Skype! Good Bye!

Your best buddy,
Ilham

some of the slimy pulp. Rub a little on your face and leave it
there for a few minutes. Then, wash it off.

At first, Kamal thought that buying a shirt online was a great idea and he was excited about it. After he
received the shirt, he was disappointed that he would have to send it back to get a refund. He no longer
wanted to risk buying clothes online again.

3 (Accept any suitable answer.)

I was surprised when I read the email. I have never bought clothes online, but I have friends who have
done so. They have had good experiences, so I was surprised by Kamal’s bad
experience. However, the email has some good points and I think that this is one of the risks of
shopping online. It makes me rethink the idea of ordering clothes online.

4 (Accept any suitable answers)

I think that online shopping is a good idea, depending on what you buy. My mother buys her
groceries by shopping online. We stay in a condominium, so she doesn’t want the hassle of
carrying the groceries up to our apartment. With online shopping, the groceries are delivered to
our doorstep. However, she never buys fresh food this way as she wants to choose the food
herself and check its quality.

on the information from the text.

86

Read the text below and complete Practice 1 and 2.

LET’S DO SPORT!

A. If you like water sports, you should try out kayaking. In kayaking, you sit in a small
boat known as a kayak and paddle it using a double-bladed oar. Most kayaks feature
an enclosed deck that covers the legs. It sits low in the water and can normally only
accommodate a single paddler. The sport can be done in practically any body of the
water and is easily combined with other activities like camping or fishing.

B. Have you heard of abseiling? It is the act of sliding down a rope under controlled
conditions in order to make a safe descent off a cliff face. Abseiling can be a very
dangerous activity. If you are inexperienced, you must make sure to have a proper
instructor, proper gear, guidance and training, In order to keep climbers safe, they are
recommended to wear helmets.

C. Are you looking for a sport that will teach you self-defense? Them you should take up
jiu-jitsu. The sport also teaches you healthy habits at a young age and you will end up
having a positive attitude in life. The sport also helps burn calories, increase
flexibility, balance and coordination.

D. Are you looking for an alternative to cycling? Then, why not try rollerblading. All
you need is a pair of rollerblades, a helmet, kneepads and wrist pads. You can
rollerblade in the park. The sport can help you lose weight through regular sessions.
You can also work the muscles in your lower body.

E. If you are good at balancing and love doing stunts, then skateboarding is the sport for
you. In this youth-oriented sport, a person rides standing balanced on a small board
mounted on wheels. Skateboarding is considered an extreme sport. If you are good at
it, you can go for competitions. Youths like skateboarding because it emphasizes on
creativity and individuality.

F. Although wakeboarding is not a new sport, it is still fun to do. It is a water sport with
origins in both water skiing and surfing and snowboarding. In this water sport, the
