Expressing Pride in Respecting Diverse Cultural Heritage
A Read the text below.

The most important festival among the Chinese is the Chinese New Year. Traditionally, the Chinese
New Year season is celebrated over 15 days.
In the preparation for the Chinese New Year, the Chinese have some full and thorough spring-
cleaning of their houses. All family members get together for the festival. The most important feast is
the Chinese New Year’s Eve’s reunion dinner, where family members from far and wide return home
to eat together the special grand feast. The next three days are typically spent visiting relatives and
friends, a custom that can stretch to the fifteenth day. Shops and shopping malls will have lively
dragon and lion dances to usher in the Chinese New Year. Children would receive ang pows, or also
known as red packets, with money inside them.
Chinese New Year celebrations have become simpler in modern times. But traditionally, the
celebrations are riddled with many superstitions. Sweeping and cleaning is forbidden as the Chinese
believe that sweeping means you would sweep the good luck out of the front door. It is also considered
taboo to empty the rubbish bins as it represents throwing your good fortune away. Another superstition
is that one should not break any dishes albeit accidentally. This act is believed to bring serious problems
between family members throughout the coming year.
The Chinese wear red as it is auspicious. It is customary to exchange mandarin oranges when
visiting friends and relatives during the Chinese New Year. Two mandarin oranges, which represent
good luck, are placed in a decorated bag and presented to the host. The host returns the favour by
presenting two mandarin oranges to the visitor. Sharp objects like knives and scissors are kept out of
sight as they are harbingers of bad luck. Cutting hair is a big no-no as it would cut off your good luck.
While many Chinese may not believe in these dos and don’ts, these traditions and customs are still
being practised.


B Work in pairs. Answer the following questions. Choose no more than five words from the text
for each answer.
sweeping good luck away
1 The act of sweeping on this day is associated with .
Emptying rubbish bins
2 symbolises dumping out the good fortune from the house.
not to cut hair
3 You are advised on this day as it would cut off your good start of the year.
traditions and customs
4 While not all of these are still being practised today, it is still

a fascinating list.

5 State two other things you should not do for the Chinese New Year season.

(i) Avoid taking medicine as it is believed you will get ill for a whole year.

(ii) Needlework should not be done as it is thought to lead to the depletion of wealth in the coming year.

C Work in groups of four. Imagine you are going to attend an event next week. Make notes about the
event ― place, activities you will see there, things you will do there and how you feel about going

to the event. Then, tell your class about the event.

Creating Your Own Diary
A You went hiking with three of your friends. Write your diary entry about the experience.

Monday, 26 December

Dear Diary,
Yesterday, Prem, Khalid, Raymond and I went hiking in a jungle. As we walked, we took photographs
and collected some interesting, rare insect specimens for our class project. It was cool and quite
dark in the jungle. We followed the not particularly well-trodden path and went deeper into the
jungle.
The path soon disappeared and we realised we were lost. We walked on and on, but couldn’t return
to our starting point. We tried our smartphones, but there was no reception.
We then heard the sound of water gushing, so we decided to make our way towards the river. By
the time we got there, it was already late evening. It was indeed dangerous to move on, so we
decided to stay put and spend the night by the river. We spent our first night in the jungle.
Next morning, we kept our fingers crossed and followed the river downstream. After a couple of
hours searching and walking, we finally reached an Orang Asli settlement. We were so relieved.
The Orang Asli were kind-hearted and they took us back to our starting point. We thanked them
profusely.
There is so much to tell and remember about the experience of being lost in the jungle.

B Imagine that you have been in one of these situations below. Pick one situation and create your
own diary.

You were in a shopping mall when a robbery took place in a jewellery shop nearby.

You were trapped in a lift.
You happened to see your friend smoking in the park.
Your experience during the dry season when there was water rationing.

Making Your Recycled Candle and Drawing the Steps Core Civic Core Value: Mutual Respect
A Read the instructions of making a recycled candle below. Value Topic : Preserved Environment
Prosperous Community

The things that you need to make a recycled candle are a melting pot for the wax, a bigger
pot to place the melting pot, a wick, a jam jar and old candles. Make sure the wick is of the right
size for the candle you are going to make.
Clean the old candles thoroughly. Break them into small pieces and put them in the melting
pot. Put some water in the bigger pot and place the melting pot in it. Heat the wax on the stove
over a low heat until it has melted completely.
Place a wick in the centre of the jam jar. You can keep the wick straight by tying it to a
pencil or chopstick that lies horizontally across the top of the jar.
When the wax has melted, pour it into the jam jar to the level you require. Leave the candle
to cool and set. Now you can trim the wick to the required length. Last but not least, keep the
candle in a cool place. Your recycled candle is finally done.


B After reading, draw eight pictures that tell the process of making a recycled candle in the correct
order.


C Ask your parents/ guardian to help you do the experiment of making a recycled candle at home. Is
the experiment successful?

A Read the following article carefully. PdPc

Malaysia’s food waste statistics have never been more shocking. Every day, households churn out some AUDIO
3 000 metric tonnes of leftover food that is essentially untouched and still edible. And this amount can feed
two million hungry people! 20 percent or 3 000 tonnes of this food waste is avoidable. So what can the
average Malaysians do to reduce food waste?
It all starts with planning – if you plan your shopping well, you can reduce food waste. Households
should make it a point to only buy enough chicken, meat, vegetables, fruits and groceries to meet their needs.
We should use a basket instead of a trolley, and cash instead of credit card. This will ensure we buy less.
Overeating is itself a form of food waste and so, reduced portions are encouraged. Cook the right amount
of food daily and if there are leftovers, they should be stored and frozen carefully for later consumption.
Otherwise, you may give the extra food to your neighbours, or feed your pet. Households can also support
their community by donating all untouched food that will otherwise go to waste to needy people. Whatever
that remains can be composted and used as fertiliser for their garden.
By cutting out unnecessary spending on food and reducing food wastage,
households will not only save money, but also will protect the environment
through lower methane emissions from landfills. Our efforts can also help
conserve energy and resources, as well as prevent environmental pollution.
Everyone can do their bit. Food waste is definitely a change of attitude and
mindset.

Write your essay.

(Suggested answer)
Our planet’s alarm is going off and it is time to wake up and take action. For me, Earth Day is a reminder

of our planet’s beauty and what is really important. There are lots of easy and fun ways to make Earth Day
every day.

Old habits die hard. But again, with practice, you can do a number of things to help the environment by
shifting the way you use energy at home. Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Ditch the incandescent
light bulbs, which waste 90 percent of their energy as heat and switch to LED bulbs. Unplug your electronic
devices whenever you can, too.

Got even a little bit of space in your yard or do you have a patio? Consider planting a tree in the ground
or in a planter. A tree can help clean the air around us, as well as provide essential food to bees, birds and
other species, and cool the temperature of the area that surrounds us. Basically, it offers multiple powerful
services to help protect the environment all in one beautiful package.

It’s never too late to embrace recycling or to get better at accomplishing what should be a simple and
by now second-nature action on all our parts. Paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and certain metals can all be
saved from the landfill and pumped back into the economy in almost every community in the country. In
fact, you can recycle almost anything.

To many, a hot shower is one of life’s small pleasures, but it’s also a major carbon emission culprit.
The average showerhead produces 2.5 gallons of water per minute and water heaters work hard to heat up
all the H2O. As a result, hot showers generate a quarter pound of carbon each minute. If we all decided to
cut our clean routines by just one minute each day, we could save a shocking 20.9 billion pounds of carbon
emissions each year.

Earth Day is about enjoying and taking care of the planet. Even small actions can lead to great
consequences!
