Hello Harith, Did you watch the food documentary which aired last night? It was really interesting and scary at the same time. I was so shocked to learn the amount of sugar that we consume in our daily lives. We simply eat everything without knowing how much sugar there is in it. Thus, we consume much more sugar than we should! Do you know that we should only take 6 teaspoons of sugar a day? Therefore, I think we should stop drinking cola every day because a can of cola contains 7 teaspoons of sugar. Too much sugar can cause cavities. It is also bad for our health as it can lead to diabetes. Let’s download the suggested app, ‘Sugar Less’ to monitor our sugar intake. We can also track how much sugar is in each food item. That sounds great, right? Well, I have to go now. I hope to hear your opinion about the food documentary. Please write back. Your friend, Amanda 10 What would be the best title for the food documentary? A Healthy Eating C Food Fight B The Truth About Sugar 11 How much sugar can we consume every day?

Today, I went jungle trekking near a waterfall at Besta Hill. I went with my family. We had such a great time! We left the house at about 7.00 a.m. We dressed comfortably and put on thick socks and shoes with good grip. It took about 15 minutes to get to the jungle entrance and an hour to get to the waterfall. It was such a thrilling and adventurous experience walking in the jungle. I saw various trees and plants along the way. The sounds of birds and crickets filled the air. I did take lots of photos of rare species of insects that I found along the track. After a long walk, we finally reached the waterfall safely. The sight of the waterfall made my heart leap with joy. It was amazing! It’s truly the most exciting experience I’ve ever had. The best birthday gift ever! I hope to have more trips like this! 10 When was the author’s birthday?

16 Name: Class: Date: Practice 2 Read the texts about three views on improving your school (A, B and C). For each question, choose the correct answer (A, B and C). Online Forum: Improve Your School A Maya13 From my point of view, the school needs to buy more interactive books for the library. Students will be more interested to borrow interactive and new books. Add on some magazines too. Besides that, the school can provide us with student ID cards. We can use the card to scan and borrow books. Librarians can easily track the books in the library. B Jess73 I like the idea of the new books. I hope the school can allow the students to use the library after school too. As for the student ID card, I think it is the best idea! Other than using the card at the library, we can also use it to buy food at the canteen. Our parents can just top up some money in the card and we don’t have to bring any money to school. It’s cashless payment! Sounds great, right? This can stop the students from losing their money. C Ian64 I would definitely agree with your suggestions and opinions. For me, I’m more concerned about the food in the school canteen. I don’t think they are providing us with healthy food. Just look at the processed foods like sausages, nuggets and fries that are sold in the canteen. These are not healthy foods. Students also tend to buy sugary drinks that contain artificial colouring which may harm us. The canteen operator needs to do something about this. I believe students will learn better if they eat healthy food. Kuasai PBD Eng Y6 B2(UASA Practice).indd 16 04/10/2023 3:14 PM

He has worked on a cruise ship since 2016. He plans the daily menu, prepares the kitchen for each meal service and cooks the food. ‘I chose this job because it’s exciting – I meet new people on each trip and I can travel overseas at the same time. It’s like killing two birds with one stone,’ says Jack. ‘It feels good to create food experiences for each dining guest. It’s also very rewarding when you see people enjoy eating the food.’ B Psychiatric Nurse Nina Nikman has been a nurse for seven years. But she doesn’t attend to patients who are physically sick, as most registered nurses do – she takes care of patients’ mental health. Why did she choose this unusual job? ‘I chose this job because it’s challenging and there’s always something new that I learn every day,’ she says. And what does she like most about her job? ‘Working with mental health patients at the hospital is very special. I feel like I’m part of their journey to recover and improve their quality of life.’ C Full-time Netflix Tagger Aydan Teoh is a full-time Netflix tagger. He is responsible for watching movies and shows that will be available in the future, analysing them and describing them using tags. How long has he done this job? ‘I started becoming a full-time Netflix tagger since I left university in 2020. I had my degree in Critical Film Studies and my passion for movies brought me here,’ says Aydan. What does he enjoy most about his job? ‘I love this job as I don’t have to go out to work.
