4 Oct 202
Dear friend,
How are you? It’s been some time since we wrote to each other. I feel great and hope that you are
well too. For your information, I’m now back in school after the summer holidays.
I went to a summer camp which was held at a cattle ranch. I had the chance to experience some of
the activities carried out on ranches. One of them was being taken to see the grazing cattle. There were
hundreds of them. Some other activities we did were fishing at a nearby lake, learning how to ride a
horse, cycling on rough paths and watching a rodeo.
Most of the participants live in the city so most of us were first-timers in everything. I thought
fishing was a bit boring when you had to sit and wait. However, it felt fantastic when I caught a very
big fish! The rodeo is an annual event where people turn up to see the best cowboy-the one who can
stay on a wild bull the longest.
Nevertheless, I had a really enjoyable time there. I think it has helped me be more confident and
independent. Now, I feel I can make friends more easily compared to before I attended the camp. I am
also able to scramble eggs and make French toast for breakfast.
Please share with me what you did during your school holidays. We live in different countries so
the activities are cerainly not the same. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Goodbye.

Practice 2 “Honey, you are good!”
By Alya Shamsudin
People travel most of the time. They either commute to their
places of work or travel to other destinations. There are many kinds
of vehicles that are often used as transport.
Travelling by aeroplanes is the best method if you want to go
to Sabah, Sarawak or other countries. However, domestic flights
are also available. It can be very fast if your house as well as your
destination is near the airport. If you live quite far, it can be quite
inconvenient because you have to take another form of transportation
to go to the airport.
The car is a very convenient vehicle for both short and long
distance travels. It is the most chosen way of transportation which
Focus PT3 (BI) Terbitan Penerbitan Pelangi Sdn Bhdexplains the daily congestion of traffic especially in the cities. By
driving a car, you can leave your home and arrive straight at your
destination. It can be tiring because you definitely will encounter
traffic jams and the risk of an accident is also high.
Taking the LRT, which is only available in cities, can be a
good alternative when the stations are near your house and your
destinations. You may opt to leave your car at the station and take the
Honey is a sweet, sticky fluid usually used in cooking and
drinks. Its colour can be light to darker shades of brown. It is a
natural product produced by bees. Humans used to collect honey
from wild bees. Nowadays, most honey is collected from reared bees.
Nevertheless, the honey bees still need to collect nectar from flowers
which is taken to the beehive where the bees process it into honey.
Since ancient times, honey has been used as food and
medicine that can be beneficial to the overall health of a human
being. It is a good supplement for the body as it is rich in vitamins,
nutrients and minerals. Honey is also high in anti-oxidants which may
help to reduce cholesterol. It also aids in healing cuts and wounds.
The various nutrients in honey can also improve the performance of
the brain and memory. In addition, honey is also good for the skin. It
can also be used as a substitute for sugar.
There are many types of honey which are classified based on
the floral source of the nectar or the processing methods. Therefore,
one needs to have some knowledge to get honey of good quality.
