© Global Mediastreet Sdn. Bhd. (762284-U) PB © Global Mediastreet Sdn. Bhd. (762284-U) 19 In this reading section, you will have to answer questions in three parts. These include information transfer, meaning of words and completing a passage with a choice of sentences provided. All these questions will test your comprehension of the passage in order to be able to pick out the required answer for each question. You must take note that for Part 3 and Part 4, there is a limit to the number of words in your answer, three words for Part 3 and fi ve words for Part 4. Here are a few simple steps you can take to make comprehension easier on yourself: READ THE QUESTIONS FIRST If you read the questions before reading the passage, you will be able to know what the questions are asking of you. Then when you read the passage, you will be able to look out for the key points. READ THE TEXT SLOWLY Rushing through a comprehension passage may cause you to miss out on essential information or supporting context. If there are parts you do not understand, read them again. Try to break it up into smaller parts if it will help you understand better. UNDERLINE/HIGHLIGHT THE KEY POINTS OF THE TEXT This serves two purposes – it makes you pay attention to the key ideas, and it also lets you check your answers faster. LOOK AROUND THE KEY POINTS Sometimes, supporting information is located in more than one place. Read before and after the key points in order to look for supporting evidence and context that can help you ensure that your answer is correct. In some cases, you may have to infer the answer. This means that the answer is not directly stated in the passage but comes from understanding the message conveyed. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ANSWERS Read the questions again carefully. Sometimes you may have assumed the question wanted something that it did not. Does your answer fi t into what the question is looking for? Is your answer supported by information in the text?

Noor’s Restaurant Noor’s Restaurant was founded by Captain Mohammad Isa in Penang in 2013. He named the restaurant after his daughter, Noor Kumari Isa. In a newspaper interview, Noor Kumari recounted how her father decided to open a restaurant with her as one of the partners. At that time, Noor was working as a company secretary while Captain Mohammad had just retired from the army. Armed with the techniques of cooking traditional Malay cuisine, he had decided to venture into the food business. Noor’s Restaurant became well-known for its grilled chicken in spicy percik sauce. Many people visit the restaurant just for this dish. “The ‘ayam percik’ here is so diff erent from those sold elsewhere. The grilled chicken is tender and sweet.” When asked by customers as to the recipe of the grilled chicken, Noor said, “That’s my grandmother’s secret recipe.” Customers also go for Noor’s other dishes like mamak-style fried noodles and nasi biryani. As for desserts, the mere mention of Noor’s durian cendol makes the mouth water. There’s also ‘bubur cha-cha’. Traditional cakes are also sold in the morning. Noor’s Restaurant boasts of its layered cake using traditional Kelantanese spices. Customers place orders for this special cake especially during Hari Raya and other celebrations. The most popular sweet delight is the ‘kuih pelita’ made from fl our with coconut milk. The biggest challenge this father and daughter partnership has faced so far is the availability of workers. “Workers come and go as they like,” said Captain Mohammad. “Hence, we decided to bring in our own family members.” “We hope to have a Noor’s Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur soon,” said Noor.

Tun Dr Mahathir meets Sophia the Robot It’s not every day that you see Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad speechless, but that’s what happened when the veteran politician met Sophia for the fi rst time. The nonagenarian seemed at a loss for words when he met the ‘social humanoid’ robot. Sophia, a woman-like robot, was fi rst activated on February 14, 2016 and is able to display more than 50 facial expressions. Sophia was displayed for the fi rst time in Malaysia on 17 July, 2019. Sophia was developed by Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics. David Hanson, who invented Sophia, modelled the robot after the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti. During the fi rst few minutes of their chat, Dr Mahathir, who was asked to hold a one-to-one conversation with the robot, seemed tongue-tied until Sophia broke the ice. Sophia congratulated Tun on his achievements and showered him with birthday wishes. “If only I had remembered to bring a present. I will sketch a portrait of you,” said Sophia, who started to draw a portrait of Tun. Tun was very much amused. “Do you know about my fi rst term as Prime Minister? Do you know better than me? How are you diff erent from other robots? Do you dream of a world where robots and humans live together and get along with each other?” asked Tun, getting into the swing of things. Sophia then rattled off the date and information of when Tun was elected as the fourth Prime Minister. Everyone was surprised. “Unlike other robots. I was designed with human features to better interact and build relationships with people,” replied Sophia.

Almonds Almonds, called badam in Malay, despite being classifi ed as a nut by most, is actually the seed from the fruit of an almond tree. The almonds that we eat are actually the pits of these fruits. Almonds are believed to have originated from western Asia and North Africa. Today they are commercially grown in areas around the Mediterranean and in California. Almonds are sold all over the world and are quite expensive Almonds are off -white in colour, covered by a thin, brownish skin with a hard shell. The taste of almonds may range from sweet to bitter. Both types of almonds are readily available in markets and can be purchased based upon your taste and cooking use. Sweet almonds are the variety that is eaten. The bitter ones are used for making almond oil, which is commonly used to add fl avour to food. These bitter almonds are not edible as they contain toxic substances which are removed when the almond oil is processed and manufactured for sale. Nutritionists and doctors claim that almonds have numerous health benefi ts. Like other nuts, such as walnut, pecan and pistachio, the benefi ts are extensive. Almonds are rich in both vitamin E and monounsaturated fats and are believed to help lower cholesterol, fi ght heart diseases and other illnesses.

Sarawak Longhouse Last August my family and I went to Sarawak for one week. As this was our fi rst visit we wanted to experience living in a longhouse because we had heard so much about them. These longhouses are located in the interior of Sarawak. To get to these longhouses one can either travel for a day on the road or use a boat. The longhouses are built on stilts and normally have 30 to 50 rooms, one for each family. As the longhouse we stayed in was built high above the ground we had to climb up a specifi c tree trunk to get to the longhouse. These longhouses were once home to the many local ethnic groups, especially the Iban and Bidayuh. My uncle, who belongs to the Bidayuh ethnic group, took us to his longhouse located in the Penrissen area. We travelled by road to get there. According to my uncle the most popular and frequently visited longhouses by tourists are the Kampong Benuk and Annah Rais longhouses. The journey from Kuching to my uncle’s longhouse took about an hour and a half. When we reached his longhouse we were greeted with traditional dances and music and served tuak, a special rice wine. We stayed in the longhouse for three days and had the time of our life. Praktis Bijak F3(C)3rd 25.11.20.indd 26 25/11/2020 11:51 AM GLOBAL MEDIASTREET SDN. BHD.

I haven’t heard from you for some time. Anyway, I am writing to tell you about my recent visit to the PC Fair that was held at the Seremban Convention Centre. It was originally supposed to run for only two days, the 15th and 16th of March, but due to the large number of visitors the organisers decided to extend it for another day. Computer Allies, the organisers of the PC Fair invited other computer dealers to showcase their products so people could buy computers and computer accessories that they liked from these dealers. We were spoilt for choice! There were many activities as well such as a computer exhibition, quizzes and even a Young Scientist Competition. I was really amazed to learn how much our young children know about computers. There was one section where children could spend time watching movies. The PC Fair was open for 12 hours, from 9.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. for the three days. It was really crowded but people were very happy that they had made it to the Fair. Many said it was worth it and that they are looking forward to such PC Fairs in future. For your information, Justin, since you are interested in buying a new desktop for your father, there will be another PC Fair in November at the same place. I hope you will be able to visit that one.

On 23 June, 2018, Ekkapol Chantawong, a 25-year-old Thai youth football coach took his team, the Wild Boars to explore a cave. They only wanted to have some fun for an hour. Soon, the team comprising 12 players aged between 11 and 16 found themselves trapped in the cave. The heavy monsoon rain had started and the entrance to the cave was fl ooded. At about 7.00 p.m., the boys’ parents were worried. They called up the head coach, Songpon Kanthawong. A player told him that the team had gone exploring the Tham Luang caves. The authorities were quickly alerted. Those trapped in the cave tried to fi nd a way out but failed. The place was full of water. The boys were hungry and running out of oxygen. Deep underground, darkness surrounded them. Fear gripped them but they knew they had to be strong for each other. They drank the fresh water that dripped from a cave stalactite. Their coach, who was a former monk, taught them meditation to help them keep calm. The Thai Navy Seals, the national police and international rescuers were doing their best to get to the boys. They had to swim against strong currents and were often forced back by rising fl oodwaters. At one stage, no one knew what to do. Family members conducted prayers at the entrance of the cave. On 2 July, 2018, two British divers made an incredible discovery after searching for a number of days. The found all 13 of them still alive! It was a miracle. The two British divers could not believe their eyes. After spending some time with the boys in the cave, they left promising to bring food. The rescue operation soon began. Rescuers had to winch the boys up a steep slope using a pulley system. In some rocky areas they formed a human chain, passing the boys to each other, while at others they slid them on top of pipes pumping out water. Finally, all 13 were rescued.

A Great Performance Chin May and her parents were at the Chinese Cultural Night concert. The concert was organised to raise funds for the fl ood victims in several states in Malaysia. There were many Chinese traditional dances performed that evening. The fan dance kicked off the concert that night. The dancers were beautifully dressed in Chinese traditional dresses and the girls danced gracefully as they fl uttered their fans. The audience loved the fan dance and gave the dancers a round of applause when they bowed after their performance. Chin May’s parents loved the peacock dance as they found it meaningful. The peacock dance is considered a symbol of good luck, happiness, beauty and honesty. During the performance, a peacock dancer fl ew out of its nest at the beginning of the dance. It then looked around and began to dance to the rhythm of the music. Next, the dancer ‘poked’ in the grass looking for food and water. Then, it headed to the river bank for a bath. The dance ended with the peacock spreading its wings and fl ying away happily. The bamboo pole dance was the most exciting. The dancers were young men and women who jumped forward and backward to the rhythmic and regular knocking of the bamboo poles. The sound was mesmerising. The dancers moved in unison when the bamboo poles were moved apart and brought together. Chin May was a bit disappointed when the concert ended at about 11.00 p.m. She was having such a good time. “That was great!” she told her parents as they headed home.

Humans have always had a special relationship with animals. The link between us and our dogs, cats, horses, birds and other animals is diffi cult to describe as it goes beyond companionship and unconditional love. Having a close relationship with our pets can aff ect our lives and our health in a positive way. Pets can also help us to reconnect with nature and other living things. Most people choose to have dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits and other pets that are not so diffi cult to care for. There are, however, some who maintain a special relationship with sea creatures, penguins and wild animals, often regarded as not suitable as pets. These people have a very close relationship with these animals as they work with the animals and care for them. A zookeeper is one good example. Living with animals and maintaining a special relationship can have health benefi ts such as improvements in the mental, social and physical health of humans. Take dog walking, for instance. It has been found that people who walked their dog regularly had less body fat as the activity is considered as exercise. This will help to reduce blood pressure and mental stress. Children will also benefi t if there is a pet in the house according to leading scientists. It helps to get rid of boredom and isolation. This is especially so with children who have no siblings at home. It helps them to relate to other people. The child will not feel isolated and lonely as she/he has a companion to ‘talk to’. Having pets also helps children to be focused as they learn to be responsible by having to take care of their pet. Pets can also be powerful allies for kids with health problems. At the end of the day, building a good relationship with animals will have a positive impact, not only on humans but also animals. Just like humans, animals are living things and they need love and care too! Praktis Bijak F3(C)3rd 25.11.20.indd 34 25/11/2020 11:51 AM GLOBAL MEDIASTREET SDN. BHD.

Malaysia’s extreme fl ood situation of 2014/2015 Heavy rainfall and fl oods are a common phenomenon in Malaysia especially during the monsoons, but the fl oods that occurred from December 15, 2014 to January 3, 2015 were the worst in 30 years. At least eight people died and more than 160,000 were forced to fl ee from their homes, as water up to six feet deep swept through most areas of Malaysia. The east coast of Malaysia suff ers from annual fl ooding, but the strong winds and particularly heavy rainfall made the 2014–2015 fl oods signifi cantly the worst. The Malaysian meteorological offi ce had warned of more rain to come and had asked the government to get relief centres ready. As the rain continued rescuers struggled to reach parts of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang – the regions hardest hit by the waters – to rescue people caught in the fl oods. Most roads in the aff ected areas were closed and life came to a standstill. Southern parts of West Malaysia were also aff ected. About 300 to 350 people were displaced in both Johor and Negeri Sembilan. In Sabah, heavy rains starting December 21 resulted in fl ooding throughout most areas in the various districts. The number of victims increased to 300 overnight and was predicted to increase further The severe fl ooding aff ected not only health facilities but also electricity and water supply to most parts of the fl ood-aff ected areas. Three universities in the east coast states of the Peninsula were aff ected by fl oods as students from these universities decided to fl ee from their campuses due to the worsening fl ood crisis. The opening of all primary and secondary schools was delayed by one week. Praktis Bijak F3(C)3rd 25.11.20.indd 36 25/11/2020 11:51 AM GLOBAL MEDIASTREET SDN. BHD.

Renewable resources can be renewed or regained once used, whereas non-renewable resources are just the opposite and cannot be regained once used. Non-renewable resources are those found inside the earth, and which took millions of years to form. These include fossil fuels, oil, natural gas and coal and nuclear energy. Renewable resources include wind, solar energy, plants, animal, water and wave power. Wind power is a popular renewable resource today. Do you know that in many parts of the world wind power is harnessed continuously and is used to operate machinery and even to make electricity without pollution? Solar energy is energy from the sun. The earth receives a small part of the energy released from the sun and this power makes life possible on our planet. Solar power provides a very clean form of heat with no negative eff ects on the environment. Renewable resources also include plants such as trees grown for timber. As long as we do not use these valuable resources faster that the new trees can grow, we will have a constant supply of wood products. However burning wood can cause pollution and add to global warming. Working animals such as horses, donkeys, camels, oxen and even elephants are one of humankind’s oldest resource and used by farmers all over the world. In the dense forests of Thailand, logs are moved by trained elephants. They are cheaper than machines and do much less damage to the environment. Water and waves are also considered renewable resources. Falling water provides enough force to drive turbines to generate electricity, like in a hydroelectric power station. Electricity can also be produced by using the motion of ocean waves. This motion can be used to drive generators. Praktis Bijak F3(C)3rd 25.11.20.indd 38 25/11/2020 11:51 AM GLOBAL MEDIASTREET SDN.

She went to the drawer and took something out and gave it to him. “What’s this?” he asked. “A lucky charm to make sure you always have good luck,” replied his grandmother. “Thanks, Granny. I will make sure I wear it on the day of the state games.” Bryon practised hard for the state games. He stayed back after school to practise with his friends. At the weekends, Bryon would go to the stadium for intensive practice. (2) . Before this, his best result had been a bronze medal. The day of the state games fi nally arrived! Bryon was all ready to go. (3) . He believed that he had to bite the new pair of shoes before it bit him. After all, he didn’t want the new pair of shoes to give him a blister. That would aff ect his running. In his hurry to leave the house, Bryan accidentally dropped a glass and it broke. He thought, “Oh no!” but his grandmother told him, “Expect something good to happen today,” (4) . When he got to the stadium, many participants were already there. Bryon headed straight for the booth where there was already a queue. (5) . The offi cial gave him a bib with the number 0088. Bryon was as happy as a lark. “I feel lucky today!” When it was time for the 100 meter race, Bryon got into position. He had to compete with many outstanding runners but he was confi dent. His grandmother’s lucky charm was around his neck. Once the starter pistol was fi red, the runners ran as fast as they could. Bryon was way ahead of the others. (6) . Bryon was the state champion.

What Your Body Parts Say About You! Most of us are not aware that parts of our body can tell a lot about our personality. Looks can reveal quite a lot about a person. Let’s start with the nose. People with long noses are ambitious and hardworking. (1) . Sensitive and loyal people have short noses. They value their family more than anything else. What about people with long faces? (2) . Someone with a narrow face is emotional while those with wide faces don’t have much emotions but are very successful. The eyes tell a lot about people’s personality too. People with wide eyes are more expressive and emotional. (3) . People with big eyes are open-minded, intelligent and friendly. What about those with deep-set eyes? They are mysterious and observant. Our lips can also reveal quite a lot about our personality. People with medium-sized lips are independent. Those with thicker lips put everyone’s needs before their own. Generous people have wide lips. (4) . People with thin lips are known to be more competitive and loners. (5) . Do you know which is your index fi nger and ring fi nger? The index fi nger is between the thumb and the middle fi nger. Your ring fi nger is next to the middle fi nger. (6) . If your ring fi nger is longer than your index fi nger, it means that you are very charming and a risk-taker. If your index fi nger is longer than your ring fi nger then you are considered to be a born leader. A person who has both the index fi nger and the ring fi nger of the same length is a good communicator. Adapted from: https://brightside.me/wonder-curiosities/8-body-parts-that-can-say-a-lotabout-your-inner-self-625160/ A They sometimes prefer to be alone rather than socialise. B People with long faces are highly intelligent. C Those with long fi ngers can talk very well. D Look at your fi ngers carefully. E They put themselves before others. F However, they tend to be very cautious. G Their professional life is more important than their personal life. H They are giving and like to pamper their loved ones.

Last year, SMK Simpang Lima held its Grand Sports Day after 10 years. (1) . The administrators, teachers and students worked very hard to make this event a success and it was. Months before the Grand Sports Day there were a few changes. The four houses were renamed Hashim (Red), Ismail (Blue), Ahmad (Yellow) and Rashid (Green) after the former principals of the school. (2) . But they eventually accepted the change and went on to make the Sports Day a success. (3) . We were the fi rst school to introduce these caps and T-shirts and they really brightened up the scene during our sports. (4) . After the grand opening ceremony, the distinguished guests met with the teachers, participants and students. Then it was time for the march past. Ahmad House won the fi rst prize for the march past. Besides the athletic events there were also non-athletic programmes such as tug-ofwar. There was also a Girl Guides’ race, a race for Red Cross members and an offi cials’ race. (5) . It was a thrill for the students to see their teachers running the 6 x 50 metres relay. To conclude a great and successful day, the District Education Offi cer gave away the prizes. Nine records were broken. (6) . After the prize-giving ceremony, the principal announced that Monday would be a holiday. Everyone cheered with joy. In my opinion this day turned out to be the best Sports Day for the students of SMK Simpang Lima. A Ismail House was the champion and Ahmad House the runner-up. B The students were not very bothered about the change. C The highlight of the day was the teachers’ race. D It was held at the National Stadium in Selangor. E Another new idea was the introduction of house caps and T-shirts. F It was a great and enjoyable sports day. G The Grand Sports Day was offi ciated by the District Education Offi cer.

Six sentences have been removed from the text. Choose from the sentences (A – H) to fi t each gap (1 – 6). There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. Dancing is a great way to get in shape and have fun while doing it. (1) . It has been proven that regular dancing is great for losing weight, maintaining strong bones, improving posture and muscle strength, increasing balance and co-ordination and beating stress. One of the best things about dancing is that while you’re having fun moving to music and meeting new people, you’re getting all the health benefi ts of a good workout. Three popular dance forms today are zumba, retro aerobics and belly-dancing. Zumba is a high-energy cardiovascular workout that feels like a dance party. Zumba dance routines work your legs, waist, hips and thighs, and are ideal for weight loss. It also helps to improve your mood. (2) . Another popular one is retro aerobics. (3) . It provides a whole body workout and is designed to strengthen one’s heart. Each routine involves jumps and squats and other related movements which helps improve coordination and balance. (4) . Belly-dancing helps improve one’s posture. (5) . Dancing demands a lot of energy output because it involves movement in all directions, unlike other forms of physical activity. Regardless of the dance style, whether it is ballroom, ballet, zumba, retro aerobics, belly-dancing or others, they each play an active role in helping people stay fi t. (6) . A The retro aerobics dance routines are based on 80s dance moves. B Finally, belly-dancing from Egypt is the world’s most famous oriental folk dance. C Dance is a form of aerobic exercise that has physical, mental and emotional benefi ts. D All types of dance work to engage every part of the body to create harmony and a graceful workout. E One should try only certain types of dancing to keep fi t and be happy F The benefi ts of dancing are endless. G Belly dancing is suitable for young people who do not have a good posture. H This dance is highly recommended for people who are overweight. Praktis Bijak F3(C)3rd 25.11.20.indd 43 25/11/2020 11:51 AM GLOBAL MEDIASTREET SDN. BHD.

When you ask anyone what a library is, the response will be that it is a place where you can fi nd diff erent kinds of books. While that is certainly true, these days books take diff erent shapes, such as e-books and audio books. (1) . It off ers people free access to a wealth of information that they often cannot fi nd elsewhere, whether online or in print. In Malaysia, you can fi nd libraries in nearly all towns, small districts and schools. (2) . It aimed to make library resources available to the general public. (3) . In schools, libraries provide more than mere textbook knowledge. (4) . A library can be used by people of all ages. There are many people who love reading but books are expensive and many cannot aff ord to buy books. (5) . A member can borrow two books at a time and is allowed two weeks to read them. Students who love reading frequent school and public libraries and spend their free time and holidays looking for interesting books to read. This is a good habit and should be encouraged. (6) . A Anyone who becomes a member of a library can borrow valuable books at no extra cost. B Libraries can be frequented by everyone if they have the time. C It is better than wasting time on the internet, phone, watching television and window shopping. D It is also a store for collections of national interest. E More than just books, libraries are places of information. F The National Library of Malaysia was established in Kuala Lumpur in 1972.

Mak Maimah’s Nasi Lemak Dear Lisa, I am so happy to hear that you will be coming to Malaysia in January and that you would like very much to try our famous dish, nasi lemak. Nasi lemak is a fragrant rice dish cooked with coconut milk and pandan leaf. It is served with a spicy chilli paste (sambal), cucumber, anchovies, peanuts and egg. Two popular dishes that are often served with it are fried chicken and spicy cuttlefi sh. The best nasi lemak that I have eaten is at Mak Maimah’s Restaurant in Klang town. For me, her nasi lemak is the best. As early as six in the morning the place is already crowded with people waiting in line to buy her nasi lemak. Her restaurant only opens at 7.30 in the morning but people don’t mind waiting. Mak Maimah is such a good cook and she takes great pains to prepare her specialty and other dishes too. She goes to the market every day so that the ingredients are fresh. She starts cooking at about fi ve and her dishes are ready to be sold by 7.15 a.m. At Mak Maimah’s restaurant you can also try other local Malay dishes too. Her prices are very reasonable and a plate of nasi lemak with fried chicken only costs RM3.50. I can’t wait to bring you there.

Mary Anning, the Fossil Collector Born in 1799 to a cabinet maker, Mary Anning was an English fossil collector whose fi ndings contributed to important changes in scientifi c thinking about prehistoric life. As her family was poor, Mary’s father used to travel to the Blue Lias cliff s near their home in order to mine the rocks for fossils to sell. While the seaside cliff s were fi lled with dinosaur bones and preserved sea life, deadly landslides were common. Mary herself was nearly killed by one such landslide, in which her dog, Tray, did not survive. In a letter to a friend, Mary wrote: “The cliff fell upon him and killed him in a moment before my eyes.” Mary made many important discoveries, including the fi rst complete skeleton of a plesiosaurus, the creature which may have inspired the myth of the Loch Ness Monster. However, because she was born poor and a woman, the scientifi c community did not take her seriously. None of her scientifi c writings was published during her lifetime. Mary died of breast cancer at the age of 47, after a life of hard work and fi nancial diffi culty. Charles Dickens wrote an article about her life, in which he said “The carpenter’s daughter has won a name for herself, and has deserved to win it.” Praktis Bijak F3(MT)4th 4.3.21.indd 67 04/03/2021 12:12 PM GLOBAL MEDIASTREET SDN.

It’s much cheaper to travel by train than to fl y and it’s more comfortable than being on a bus, which also takes longer. The train service is punctual and you can even buy snacks on board. I think you’ll enjoy the ride. See you soon. Cheers! Rizal Practice 2 Sample answer To: [email protected] Subject: Holiday activity Hi Jasmine, I think it would be great if you do cooking. It’s a versatile free time activity. You can cook anywhere, anytime and best of all, you can cook what you like to eat. Your granny and mum are great cooks. You can pick up cooking skills from them. I also think cooking is an essential skill to have. Since it’s the holidays, you can even cook or bake something to sell to make some extra pocket money. Who knows? In future you might be a famous chef! Cheers! Ai Lee Practice 3 To: [email protected] Subject: Mum’s 50th birthday party Hi Asha, I think having it at home is a much better idea. Everyone will be more comfortable and it would also mean that we can spend the whole evening together. If you rent a venue or have it at a restaurant, we will all have to leave by a certain time. At home, you can cater food and keep costs lower as well. If you like, you can even ask everyone to bring a dish. You can decorate your house too with your family so it will be a much more meaningful day for your mother. Love, Noelle Practice 4 To: [email protected] Subject: Class Trip Hi, I like the idea of visiting an organic vegetable farm. I think it is a great opportunity to see how vegetables can be grown without the use of pesticides and other harmful chemicals. The zoo and Science Centre are rather common places for school trips. If we go to a farm, we can even do hands-on activity and gain knowledge about how to plant our own vegetables. And I’m sure that we will be able to buy some organic vegetables for our family too. I think it will be a very interesting and useful experience. Regards, Aria Praktis Bijak F3(Ans)3rd 4.3.21.indd 4 04/03/2021 12:09 PM GLOBAL MEDIASTREET SDN. BHD.

(762284-U) A5 Practice 5 To: [email protected] Subject: Holiday activity Hi Ken, I think it’s a good idea for us to do something useful this holiday. I’m quite keen on the idea of running. It’s the cheapest activity of the three and it’s something we can carry out quite easily. We both already have sports shoes we can use so we just need the discipline to go out and get running. Running is good exercise and I’m sure we will be able to improve our health and stamina. Let’s commit to it and run as long as the weather is fine. Regards, Kieran Practice 6 Sample answer One evening, my Dad came home with a flyer about a campaign to protect the environment in our residential area. The campaign would be held for three weeks. The first week of the campaign consisted of family-based activities. We collected recyclables such as plastic bottles, aluminium cans and newspapers and sorted them. We managed to collect a lot as everyone in our area was cooperative and happy to declutter. During the second week of the campaign, we collected clothes and soft toys to be donated to children’s homes and the underprivileged. The activities for the third week of the campaign saw all of us getting our hands dirty. We managed to get sponsors for soil and plants and we set out to plant all of them at the park in our community. The campaign was a huge success. Our homes and our surrounding areas were clean and beautiful. Most importantly, we helped the environment. Everyone was happy and I felt proud that I had helped to play a part. Practice 7 Sample answer “Miss, I need help, please!” I was on my way home when I heard the pleas for help. I turned around and saw a young boy of about five following me. His clothes were tattered and torn. He was filthy. “Why are you following me?” I asked him. In a soft voice, he repeated, “Miss, I need help, please! My mum, there’s something wrong with my mum. Please come. Please help!” I wasn’t sure if he was telling the truth. I looked at him for a long time. “What’s wrong with your mum?” “Mum’s sick! Please help! Please help!” the boy replied. I asked the boy about his father and family members but he just kept quiet. I gave him five ringgit and asked him to go away. I continued walking home. The next morning, as I was cycling to school, I heard a commotion. Some of my classmates were talking about a little boy whose mother had passed away the night before. The little boy could not do anything to help his mother because he was too young. I discovered later that the boy’s mother had had a bad fall and injured her head. She died due to excessive bleeding. “If only someone had been there to help, she would have been saved.” Those words keep ringing in my ears. Since then, I have not been able to forgive Praktis Bijak F3(Ans)3rd 4.3.21.indd 5 04/03/2021 12:09 PM GLOBAL MEDIASTREET SDN. BHD.

If only… Practice 8 My pet is a playful, cheerful and adorable cat. He is dark brown and black in colour. He is a Siamese cat and his name is Robin. I got Robin because my parents thought it would be a good companion for me since I am an only child. Robin has been with me since I was ten. I love playing with him. I play with him in the house and also take him out to the park every evening. I bathe it once a week. Robin is very good at grooming and cleaning himself so he looks great all the time. That is one of the reasons why I chose a cat to be my pet. They are easier to look after. However, I make sure that I take good care of his diet. He is active, playful and well-behaved. He is very obedient and good at taking instructions. Robin is very affectionate and loves a rub. He always likes to be near me whenever I’m at home. Robin is such a lovable animal and has won my heart. We love and enjoy each other’s company and I’m so glad I have him as my faithful companion. Practice 9 A survey was recently conducted by the Sports Club of the school to find out why the students in SMK Batu Lima are not interested in sports. Based on the survey, the main reason for this lack of interest is that both parents and students placed greater emphasis on academic performance rather than doing any form of sports. They also felt that doing well in sports will not get them anywhere, later in life. The students also complained that they did not have enough time for leisure activities and sports. They had to not only attend tuition classes after school but also complete their daily homework. Some students felt that the school did not have enough sports-related facilities such as badminton and squash courts or even a football field. Many also are of the opinion that playing sports is too difficult, hot and bothersome. They would rather spend their time in an airconditioned place. In this age of technology, it is also no wonder that most students prefer to play online games rather than play physical sports. In addition, not many of them had much information about sports they could carry out. However, this could also be due to the fact that not many are interested to find out more about sports. Practice 10 Living a healthy life is very important to both young and old. You will be fit and able to do all the things that you love to do. Most young people unlike older folks do not place much importance on living a healthy life. They assume that it is not necessary and take good health for granted. Living a healthy life will significantly reduce risk of heart disease and other obesity-related illnesses. The other benefits are reduced tension and blood pressure. There are several ways to maintain a healthy life. It is very important to exercise regularly because exercise can boost the metabolism in our body. It can help burn off excess calories in the body and increase the mobility in our muscle and joints. Simple walking, jogging and even cycling Praktis Bijak F3(Ans)3rd 4.3.21.indd 6 04/03/2021 12:09 PM GLOBAL MEDIASTREET SDN. BHD.

Eat healthy food that contains minimal amount of unhealthy fats. Avoid processed, junk and fast foods. Consume more vegetable and fruits instead of meat. Another very important aspect of healthy living is sleep. One must get about eight hours of sleep every day. This will also ensure a stress-free life.

Hi David, I think you should install a CCTV in your new house. You will have peace of mind knowing that your family and property are protected. Thieves and intruders are much less likely to target your home if they know that there is a CCTV system installed. In case a theft or crime does happen, the recording can be used to analyse the incident and used as evidence. Also you will be able to check on your house when you are away. Let me know what your family decides. Daniel Part 2 Sample answer It was the December school holidays.
