17 Practice 3 Long ago, people knew very little about (0) a world. The earth was thought to (1) been flat. Hence, if a person walked long enough in one direction, he would finally reach the edge of the world (2) but fall off. Today, we know that the earth is not a flat rectangular block, but it is round. We owe (3) these knowledge to the explorers who made long voyages to find new routes and discover new lands. They kept true records of the oceans they (4) cross and the strange lands they visited. From these records, they drew (5) in a map of the world. As a result, they ended the belief of (6) the flat world. Though we know the earth much better today, the spirit of exploration has not ended.

Secondly, many online games involve strategic thinking and problem-solving, which enhance cognitive skills in players. However, online gaming comes with its disadvantages. One important disadvantage is the potential for excessive sedentary behaviour, leading to health issues such as obesity. Additionally, some games may contain violence, raising concerns about their impact on players’ behaviour. These games can also be addictive. Striking a balance by enjoying online games in moderation and combining them with physical activities is essential to maximising the positive aspects while mitigating the potential negative effects.

Saving Water Saving water is important, and there are easy ways to do it. First, fix any leaks in your home, like dripping taps or leaky pipes. This helps stop water from being wasted. Next, think about using water-efficient appliances, like toilets and washing machines, that do not use too much water. For personal habits, take shorter showers—it saves a lot of water! Moreover, turn off the tap when you are not using it, like when you brush your teeth or wash your face. Every drop counts! If you have plants, water them early in the morning or late in the evening to keep more water from evaporating. When you use the washing machine, try to wait until you have a full load. It is better for saving water. In addition, do not forget about rainwater. You can collect it in containers and use it to water your plants. Finally, talk to your friends and family about saving water. The more people know, the more we can all do to make sure we have enough water for everyone. When we talk to others about saving water, we are not just sharing information but also fostering a sense of responsibility and awareness.

Learning about people like Marie Curie or Isaac Newton inspires me to ask questions and discover new things on my own. Another reason I enjoy science is that it connects with everyday life.

36 Practice 2 Reuse, Reduce, Recycle The ‘Reuse, Reduce, Recycle’ campaign is all about making good choices for our planet. Let us talk about each part. First, ‘reuse’. Reusing means using things again instead of throwing them away. For example, you can use a cloth bag many times instead of a new plastic bag every time you go shopping. This helps save our resources. Next is ‘reduce’. Reducing means using less of something. We can reduce waste by buying only what we need and by choosing products with less packaging. When we reduce, we help the environment by not making too much garbage. Finally, there’s ‘recycle’. Recycling is like giving old things a new life. Instead of throwing certain items in the trash, we can collect them for recycling. This helps to make new things without using as many new materials. For example, we can recycle paper, plastic, and glass. By following the ‘Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle’ campaign, we can all be superheroes for our planet. It is easy to do small things that make a big difference. Let us work together to keep our earth clean and healthy! Name of campaign: 1 We reuse our things without 2 .

This can make the person gain too much weight, and it may not be good for their health. There are a few reasons why someone might become obese.

Jalur Gemilang The Malaysian flag, known as ‘Jalur Gemilang’, was first raised on 31 of August 1957, when Malaysia gained independence from British rule. This historic event marked the birth of the Federation of Malaya, which later changed into the modern nation of Malaysia. The flag-raising ceremony took place at Merdeka Square in Kuala Lumpur, and the day is now celebrated annually as Malaysia’s Independence Day or Merdeka Day. Mohamed Hamzah, a 29-year-old architect from Johor Bahru, designed the Malayan flag. In 1997, Malaysia’s former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad selected the name ‘Jalur Gemilang’ to project the country’s onward drive towards continuous growth and success. The Jalur Gemilang comprises a field of 14 red and white stripes and a blue rectangle bearing a crescent. The crescent represents Islam, the country’s official religion, while the yellow star symbolises the royal colour of the Malay rulers. During the National Day celebrations, everyone is encouraged to raise the Jalur Gemilang. Malaysians hold Jalur Gemilang close to their hearts, especially during significant occasions like Independence Day. The flag is proudly displayed during celebrations, parades, and international events, showcasing the country’s pride and patriotism.

Research your destination, know the local customs, and have a general idea of the places you want to visit. Having a rough itinerary helps, but do not be afraid to embrace the freedom. Next, you should pack wisely. Keep it simple and necessary. Ensure you have all necessary documents, like your passport, travel insurance, and any required visas. It is a good idea to make copies of important documents, just in case. Thirdly, please stay connected. Inform someone you trust about your travel plans and check in with them regularly. Share your accommodation details and keep them updated on your whereabouts. This provides an additional layer of security. You must choose your place of stay wisely. Opt for trustworthy places with good reviews, especially if you are travelling alone. Hostels, guesthouses, and well-reviewed hotels are often good choices for solo travellers to meet fellow explorers. The most important guideline is to stay aware of your surroundings. While it is essential to enjoy your trip, it is equally important to stay alert. Be aware of local customs and follow safety advice. Avoid risky areas, especially at night. Make friends along the way. Solo travel does not mean you have to be alone all the time. Engage with fellow travellers or locals. Join group tours or activities to meet new people. It is a fantastic way to share experiences and create lasting memories. Lastly, enjoy the journey. Solo travel provides a unique opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth. Safe travels!

47 Practice 2 A Special Gathering Last weekend, my family had a special gathering. It was a wonderful time when everyone came together to celebrate and enjoy each other’s company. It was filled with joy and laughter. We gathered at my grandfather’s house, a comfortable place with a big garden. The day started with everyone helping to prepare the food. My aunt cooked delicious dishes, and the aroma filled the air, making everyone excited about the meal. As family members arrived, there were cheerful greetings. My little cousins were running around, full of energy and excitement. The older members of the family sat together, recalling old times, and sharing stories. We set up a long table in the garden, and soon it was filled with a variety of homemade dishes. There were aromatic dishes like grilled chicken and pasta and sweet treats like cakes and cookies. During the meal, we all sat together, enjoying the delicious food, and chatting away. It was heartwarming to see different generations sitting side by side, sharing their experiences and laughter. After the meal, the younger ones organised games, and we all joined in. From simple board games to a lively round of charades, everyone participated, creating a sense of unity and togetherness. As the day ended, we gathered for a family photo. It was a moment to capture the smiles and the happiness shared during this special day.

49 Practice 3 Opportunities for Teenagers to Earn Money Being a teenager is an exciting time, filled with learning and exploration. While it may seem challenging to earn money at this stage, there are several ways for teenagers to make a bit of extra cash and gain valuable experiences. One popular option for teenagers is babysitting. Many parents are in search of responsible individuals to watch over their children for a few hours. It not only provides an opportunity to earn money but also allows teenagers to build a sense of responsibility and connect with younger kids. Pet sitting is a superb choice for those who have a fondness for animals. Offering services in your neighbourhood can be both enjoyable and a reliable source of income. It allows teenagers to spend time with furry friends. Another opportunity is lawn work. Many neighbours may appreciate the extra help with tasks like mowing lawns, raking leaves, or tending to gardens. This option not only contributes to a cleaner and more organised neighbourhood but also teaches valuable gardening skills. The digital age opens up opportunities for online surveys and tasks. While it may not lead to large salaries, engaging in these activities can be a fun and easy way to make some pocket money. Part-time retail jobs offer teenagers the chance to gain work experience and earn money at the same time. Checking with local shops for part-time positions can open doors to a variety of opportunities. Car wash services are a simple yet effective way for teenagers to earn money while helping neighbours keep their vehicles clean. It is a straightforward business that teaches important business skills. In conclusion, teenagers can explore various opportunities to earn money, each offering unique experiences and skill development.
