71 A Family Holiday Dear Romesh, Thank you for the birthday gift; I’ve never had a parcel couriered for me before. What a wonderful surprise! Let me tell you about my holiday. I was in Kuantan, Pahang from 3 to 8 August. We stayed in a hotel near the beach. You know how much I love the sea so a seaside hotel was the logical choice of accommodation. I woke up early each morning and jogged along the beach before breakfast. On the third day, my family and relatives went to Chendor Beach to visit the Turtle Sanctuary and Information Centre. This beach is located in Terengganu. My uncle had told me earlier that the best time to visit the centre is between April and early September as it is the turtle nesting period. Since the turtles come ashore to lay eggs at night, we decided to spend the night near the area. Late in the evening, we waited on the beach until a green turtle came ashore. We watched it lay eggs and then, return to the sea. The following day, we went to the centre again to visit the hatchery and look at one-day old hatchlings. You should visit the centre if you get the chance. The centre is open every day except Mondays. Their visiting hours are from 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. and 8.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. on Tuesdays to Sundays.

[email protected] [email protected] Activity during school holiday We can participate in extreme activities such as white-water rafting, caving and rock climbing. There’ll be instructors to guide us so we can carry out the activities safely. We don’t have to pay extra to rent the safety equipment, just a one-time camp fee. Bye for now! Shahira CONTOH
A5 Practice 2 Suggested answer Hello Samantha, You must be very excited about her visit. I agree that you should organise the activities you mentioned. If I were you, I’d also include a nature-based activity. Your hometown has beautiful parks, gardens, a lake and waterfall. You can take her on a family walk, hike or picnic to enjoy nature’s beauty. She’ll be able to explore the area. Bye! Navina [email protected] [email protected] Fun activities Practice 3 Suggested answer Dear Jariah, It’s good to hear that your family is planning to go on a holiday. Why don’t you come to Penang? There is something for everyone here. There are lovely beaches so your Dad will be happy. There are many historical monuments for you to explore. In addition, it is a bustling city so your Mum will not be disappointed either. Bye! Your loving cousin, Najwa Practice 4 Suggested answer Dear Fawwah, I’ve been thinking about including an educational activity during the holidays too. Let’s go to the Science museum and sign-up for some activities. They have many activities and Science-based shows. The reviews for them are good and I think we can learn Science concepts and facts easily when presented in a fun and exciting way. I hope we can do this together. Bye! Aris Practice 5 Suggested answer Hello Vishal, You must be very excited about your pen pal visit. Your suggestions are good but I think you should take him sightseeing. Since it is his first visit here, he can learn about the country’s history by visiting landmarks. He can also discover the beauty and charm of your hometown when he explores famous tourist attractions. That’s all for now. Bye! Becky Practice 6 Suggested answer Hi Robert, Like you, I believe that we should save for the things we want to buy. I have another suggestion to help you save for the iPad. You are very good in Maths. Why don’t you tutor students in Maths? I am confident you will get many students. You can teach at weekends and during holidays. I wish you all the best. Bernie Practice 7 Suggested answer Hello Faizal, Camping is enjoyable but I can understand why you and your siblings want to try something new. You can suggest village homestay to your father. You will stay in a village and experience their lifestyle. You will do many activities such as fishing, farming or feeding the farm animals. You will learn to cook traditional food too. That’s all for now. Zizan CONTOH
A6 Practice 8 Suggested answer Hi Ritika, Since the competition is held once every two years, it will probably receive many competitors. You should do an experiment to stand out and also create interest. An experiment which causes smoke or a loud sound to be emitted or a liquid to bubble over. Explain what causes this to happen in clear, simple language. I hope my suggestion is helpful. Danusha TOPIC 7 Practice 1 Suggested answer I was recently in a community play organised by the Youth Drama Society. It was a modern-day version of a popular Malaysian folktale. The selection process was competitive as many talented people auditioned. I was extremely happy when I got a part in it. As the weeks of rehearsals went by, everyone in the troupe and crew grew closer. The play opened to an auditorium-full of people. It went very well and we even received a standing ovation. Due to many positive reviews, we are going to stage more shows next month. Practice 2 Suggested answer I spent the long school holidays at home. Therefore, I had a lot of time to pursue my interest of writing. I wrote one story and at the back of mind. I spent three hours daily on my story. When I finished my first draft, I reviewed it. I wrote many drafts because I wanted to craft a short that would hold my readers’ attention. I finally submitted my story after my fifth draft. I learnt that the hardest part was getting started. Most of all, I rediscovered my love for writing. Practice 3 Suggested answer My friend, Farina, is one of my best friends. I met her many years ago while cycling in my neighbourhood. We usually spend time at weekends, listening to music, watch TV and play sports. I enjoy spending time with her because she is witty and interesting to talk to. Farina is a good listener, trustworthy and supportive. We don’t have everything in common but she is willing to spend time doing what I like. When she disagrees with me, she is always respectful and explains her point of view calmly. Practice 4 Suggested answer My favourite camping trip took place during the last school holidays. I went camping near a waterfall with my cousins. The four day, three night outing was supervised by my uncle and aunt. We pitched our tents in clear view of the waterfalls so we could enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds. We went fishing, swimming, did animal spotting and birdwatching. I enjoyed learning how to fish, build a raft and campfire, cook outdoors and navigate in the jungle. I really enjoyed the trip because I learnt a lot of useful skills. Practice 5 Suggested answer An interesting place I visited was the Upsidedown House or Rumah Terbalik in Tamparuli, Tuaran in Sabah. The house is open every day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CONTOH
A7 Practice 8 Suggested answer I would love to live on a hill station. It is a town located on an area of land which is higher than the surrounding plains. A hill station is not crowded like the city. The pace of life is slow so I have the time to appreciate the simple things in life. Even if I experience stress, the scenic countryside and cool, fresh air will help me relax. I will wake up to a scenic countryside daily. Nowhere else can I have streams, lush forest and waterfalls in my own backyard. Ujian Akhir Sesi Akademik (UASA) READING AND USE OF ENGLISH Part 1 1. A 2. B 3. B 4. C 5. A 6. A 7. C 8.

I don’t want the usual birthday cake, gifts or cards. I would like a fun outing with my family and friends. First, I would like to have breakfast with my family at our favourite breakfast spot that serves the best curry noodles. After that, I would like tickets to enter the latest theme park with my friends. At night, I would like to go to my favourite seafood restaurant so I can enjoy a delicious meal with my family. Practice 7 Suggested answer My hometown is Kuantan. It is located in the east coast of Peninsula Malaysia. Kuantan has rainy and dry seasons. It rains continuously during the rainy season. The sea is also rough so people don’t go to the beaches. It is warm and sunny during the dry season so people head to the beautiful beaches. There is a fishing village, a tin mining museum, waterfalls and a water and safari park. People can buy an abundant of seafood and visit a factory producing a favourite snack among the locals called keropok lekor. CONTOH

The monthly subscription fee is very low. I’m sure you can afford it. There are books and magazines available so your mother can read something new every week. Bye! Hazirah [email protected] [email protected] Birthday gift Part 2 Suggested answer Last Sunday, I went to a fair to celebrate Earth Day. It was held in a large open field in Rimba Gardens. First, I went to the organic food booth. I watched a chef use organic ingredients to cook some dishes. I tasted the food and it was delicious. After that, I visited a Youth Nature Society booth. I read many posters about past and future campaigns. I signed up to be a member of the volunteer programme. After lunch, I went home. I was glad I went to the fair because I learnt a lot about the environment. CONTOH
