The Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) is an interesting spot which gives us an insight into
the country’s tropical forests. Genting Highlands Resort offers fun and excitement for the whole family.
Fraser’s Hill is an ideal retreat for weary travelers. Then there is Port Dickson for those who love waters.
Kuala Selangor and Kampung Kuantan are famous for bird watching and seeing fireflies.

If Malacca is loved for its historical importance, thus the royal town of Seri Menanti in Kuala Pilah
district should interest folks the same. The royal town of Seri Menanti, Negeri Sembilan is located at the
foothills of a mountain range about 35 kilometers from Seremban and 11 kilometers from Kuala Pilah
Town.

A famous attraction is the Seri Menanti Palace built in 1905 without the use of a single nail. It is now
known as the Muzium Di Raja (Istana Lama) Seri Menanti. The four-storey building is the work of two
local carpenters namely Kahar and Taib. This palace once housed the Sekolah Menengah Agama Tinggi
until 1964 and thereafter was left vacant until 1992.

GIVING GIFTS

We always give gifts to our parents, friends, siblings, relatives and teachers. We
give gifts on occasions like Christmas Day, Chinese New Year, birthdays, birth of
newborn, Mother’s Day and others.

Guidelines in giving gifts

 Offer gifts in pairs. An even number symbolizes good
luck and a good ending

 When you return a gift from a guest, the gift you give
him/her in future must be of greater value than
his/hers.

Taboos associated with gifts

 Never give a handkerchief for it connotes parting with
a person forever.

 To give an umbrella would mean a break-up.
 Do not give jasmines or plum blossoms to

businessmen for jasmines mean business losses and
plum blossoms mean bad luck.
 It is very horrible to give a clock to someone on his
birthday for it sounds like ‘burying one’s parent’.
 Never give things in pairs to a sick person for nobody

You had received a letter from your cousin. Read the letter and answer the questions below.

No 25, Jalan Mahadi,
Taman Selanga,
81200 Johor Bahru,
Johor.
11 October 2012

Dear Julia,
I received your letter a fortnight ago. Sorry for the late reply. Nice to hear that you had a great holiday in

Sabah.
As for me, I enjoyed my holidays in Pangkor Island with my family. Dad drove the car to Lumut. Then we

boarded a ferry to the island. We loved every minute of the ride as the scenery was breathtaking. Upon
reaching our destination, we checked into the Royal Casuarina Hotel. We rested for a while before dinner.

The next day, Dad rented a van. We visited Sungai Pinang Kecil, a fishing village. We saw fishermen
mending their nets and stopped to watch several women drying seafood delicacies like cuttlefish, shrimp and
anchovies. Mother took this opportunity to buy some salted fish.

Later, we went to Sungai Pinang Besar. Here, the villagers were repairing and cleaning their boats. I must
say that watching boats being painted was an interesting experience.

The following day, we made a trip to the Dutch Fort at Telok Gadung. We spent hours there taking
photographs. Then, we went to the beach where my brother and I collected seashells.

All in all, it was a tiring journey but we had a wonderful time. I must say that it was fun to do things
together as a family and I hope to visit Pangkor again.

That’s all for now and do keep in touch.

Your cousin,

Fauziah

Sample Answer

Holiday in Langkawi Island

Last week, my family and I spent an enjoyable holiday in Langkawi Island. We left for Kuala Perlis jetty
immediately after breakfast and took a ferry to reach Kuah jetty. The whole one-hour trip was really an
exciting journey as it was my first time travelling on a ferry.

We had a three-day and two-night stay at a chalet which was booked earlier by my father. The
accommodation was reasonable and affordable. This two-room chalet was located nearby the beach. The
chalet was very cozy and comfortable for it was equipped with all the basic necessities such as the air
conditioner, water heater, a microwave and a flat-screen TV.

Upon our arrival, we pampered ourselves at the white sandy beach which was just a stone throw
away from our chalet. We swam happily and we were excited to see colourful school of fish through the
crystal-clear water. During dinner, we enjoyed scrumptious seafood at the Mesra Restaurant. Although the
seafood was costly, it was really satisfying.

On the following day, we took a ride on cable car. The scenery from the peak of Mat Cincang Mount
was breathtaking. It was quite thrilling to see scenic panoramic seaview. After lunch, my father brought us to
the legendary Mahsuri Tomb and followed by a visit to Beras Terbakar. We went back to the chalet before
dusk.

On the last day of our trip, we went to Kuah town for shopping. My mother bought a few sets of
exclusive dining ware while we spent the money on chocolates, t-shirts and not forgotten souvenirs for the
loved ones. The shopping was really pleasing. Around noon, we took a ferry back to Kuala Perlis before
heading home. The trip was really exhausting but for sure, it was one of the most enjoyable and memorable
moments for me.

45 | M o d u l e P B S f o r m 2

Sample Answer

Last Saturday, my family and I went to the seaside. We left home at 7 a.m. and reached Port Dickson
at about 8 a.m. As soon as we reached there, my sister and I changed into our swimsuit. When we got into the
water, we screamed because the water was very cold. Soon, the water got warmer and we enjoyed ourselves
swimming and playing happily in the water.

My younger sister could not swim very well, so after awhile, she decided to collect beautifulseashells.
She needed seashells because she wanted to make a picture with them. My father helped her to collect a lot
of pretty seashells.

When it was time for lunch, we spread a mat under the shady tree and helped mother to put out all
the delicious food. Mother had made fried rice, fried chicken and sandwiches. We even had cake for dessert.
We also had canned drinks which were niceandcold.

After lunch, we rested for awhile and listened to music. My father and father had a short nap. When it
was not sohot, we decided to have a swim in the sea before leaving. Soon, it was time to pack and go home.
Although we were tired, we had enjoyed ourselvess. We hoped to go there again soon.

My Best friend

I have several friends at school. Some are my school friends and some are my

Sudhir’s full name is Sudhir Shah b. Salman. He is from Ipoh. He comes from a
very respectable family. He is of my age. He is much taller than me. He has a very fair
complexion. He has curly hair, milky teeth and a pair of beautiful eyes. He has a very
cheerful nature. His face is always smiling. Sudhir is always neat and clean.

In class he sits beside me. We are always together. Other boys envy our friendship
but we do not mind.

Sudhir is very good at his lessons. He never neglects his studies. He never gives the
teacher a chance to complain about him. In the last examination he was first in the class. He
helps me in my studies. All his qualities have attracted me. I cannot find a more ideal friend
