Subject : Farewell party for your Science teacher

Hi Ina,

How are you doing? Organising a farewell party for your Science teacher is a great idea. I
would suggest the school canteen for the venue. It is because you and your friends can save
a great deal of money to buy him a special gift. What about getting a pair of binoculars for
him to explore nature?

As for the guests, I think you can invite all your classmates and other teachers as well.
Remember to take lots of pictures and share with your Science teacher later.

I hope the ideas are helpful.

Your friend,
Reena Khan

Hi, Johan’s birthday is coming up. Let’s get him something! Any ideas on what we

Subject : Johan’s birthday gift

Hi Farah,

It is a fantastic idea to get Johan’s birthday gift! Yes, sure. Let us get him something wonderful.
Since Johan loves to play video games, we can buy him a new set of headphones. I’m certain he
will love it because he always complain about not hearing the enemy footsteps when he’s
playing the game. About our budget, we can use half of our savings and combine it together. I
think it will be the best to only spend around RM100 till RM150 for his gift. In addition, I would
like to suggest the great place to buy it is at Harvey Norman. They sell genuine products and
often do promotions. They also do birthday services without any extra charges. Therefore, we
can kill two birds with one stone. I’m really sure that Johan will really love this gift!

See you soon, bye!

Subject: Classroom Decoration

Hi Bella,

First of all, thank you for asking my opinion. You made me feel special and I’m so excited to see
the outcome after you finished decorate your classroom. In my way of thinking, you should decorate
you classroom with educative decorations such as putting up lessons in the form of charts and
inspirational quotes around the classroom. In this case, your classroom won’t look boring but instead,
more decorated in a very subtle yet mature and formal environment. In addition, don’t forget to bring
some colourful papers and markers, double-sided tape and plastic bags. Based on my experience , it will
only take you around a week to finish decorating and cleaning the classroom. Work as a team with your
classmates and things will be easier. Do share with me some pictures later!

Goodbye!

 (1) Respecting others

In your life, respecting others and earning respect is crucial to getting

around. Respecting others does not mean being a slave to them and it is not
exclusive to your elders or superiors.
Without respect, we would not be able to survive in school or work life. To
be a civilized member of the society, we need to treat others with respect the
same way we would want to be respected. Respecting others can be as simple as
having manners and being friendly to those around you. Besides, disrespect would
get you nowhere, and you might lose those who already respected you.
A way to promote a culture of respect in your life is to teach others to have
decent manners. Even if someone left a bad impression on you, treat them with
respect as you do not know their story. After all, still water runs deep. As a
teenager nearing adult life, being a role model to the younger generation is also
our responsibility. Parents can also lead their children to have a respectful
personality.
To put it in a nutshell, respect is important to every one of us. It is a needed
component to our social life, and it is not difficult to respect and earn respect
from others.

Your class has been discussing online class during Covid – 19 pandemic and your teacher has
asked you to write an essay about your experience on online learning.
In your essay, you should write about :
 the advantages of online learning
 the disadvantages of online learning
 whether you prefer online learning or classroom learning

Write your answer in 125 – 150 words in an appropriate style. You may use all the notes and
giving reasons for your point of view.

Sample of answer:

During this pandemic era, everyone needs to stay at home and needs to quarantine
themselves. As students, we are obliged to learn by using online or any other possible methods.
Nonetheless, online class has its advantages and disadvantages that are massively affecting
students around the world.

First and foremost, online learning has various advantages. Students will easily learn
anything as the materials are on their fingers all the time. They also can do revision on their own
since there are lots of recorded video, online reading references and many more advanced shared
folders. Other than that, students can search any information regarding their lessons whenever
they have free time and just anywhere. The time is also flexible to them as long as they manage it
wisely. Subsequently, the online learning process supports eco-friendly environment because
everything is involving the paperless condition.

However, the online learning could produce disadvantages to pupils. It includes the effect
towards students which they will become sluggish after hours being in front of their computer or
phone. This situation worsen pupils’ attainment, physically and mentally such as eye disease and
unmotivated emotions. Also, the disadvantage of online learning can be seen through student’s
learning focus. Some of the students tend to be involved in online gaming regularly when they
are using their gadgets. As a result, they cannot focus highly on the class conducted, as well as
performing task given excellently.

To sum up, I believe classroom is the best place to all students to get involve for their
learning session. Students can have face to face discussion, gain more focus in learning, meet
teachers directly for discussing arisen matters and the message will be easily delivered to all.
Thus, I prefer classroom learning compared than online learning as it would make me happy as
happy as a lark if I can go to school having classroom learning, one day. These are the reasons
which I think have been experienced by most of the students around the world.

Your class has been discussing doing part-time jobs during school holidays. Your teacher has asked you
to write an essay about part-time job you would like to do.

In your essay, you should write about:

 what part- time job would you do

 reasons for your choice
 the experience you may gain

Write your essay using all the notes and giving reasons for your point of view.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Model of answer:

Part time job is a temporary job that was a perform by a person who doesn’t like to waste his time.
Most of the time, students that are waiting for their SPM result or students that counting days to return
to their college bound to work part-time in a short-term in order to gain some money to fulfil their
satisfaction when buying something. As for me, a part time job that I would like do is to be a temporary
teacher. At a kindergarten.

To begin with, at a very first moment I thought being a temporary teacher at a kindergarten is just a
teacher who teach multiples basic subject. However, I was wrong about that. A kindergarten teacher is
actually a caregiver that help them with various thing while waiting their parents to come pick them. Of
course, appearance were deceptive I. They were all angels but not until they rebels about unnecessary
stuff that will absolutely makes my heart boils. Handling my nephew and my niece is completely
different completely different compared to naughty children. However, despite the challenges and
frustration I faced. I still find this job is an enjoyable occupation. We will discover a lot of thing together,
play games and many more entertainment. That would be so adorable!

Moreover, the main reasons I chose this job is because I would like to allow myself experience that
most of the people considered it as miserable. However, I actually think that it is vice versa when
someone is very passionate with this kind of job. Plus, being in this job will allow me to gain various for
instance, patient, hardworking independent and many reminds me of how to pressure every mom out
there handling their kids, kudos to them. Subsequently, the other side reason is also because of money.
I’m actually on a shopping spree, hence working will grow my money continuously and there goes
heaven.

To evaluate, working to earn money and experience is a monotonous decision as it help you growing
up. The more you get older, the more you need to experience various things. Consequently, you will
totally be an amazing person in and out.

My Role Model

Everyone has a role model in their life to admire and inspire them in making decision.
Weather it can be a parent, superhero, or just someone they admire. For me my role model is my
father, who is inspired me. He is the one I always admire in my life. When I have children, I
want to be similar to my father to do for my kids how he takes care of me. He is very
knowledgeable, successful, and he has always been by my side to encourage me to be more vital
to overcome every difficulty and support any goal I tried to reach.

The first thing is my father is knowledgeable. He is a handyman in my house. If some

electronic devices in the home are damaged, he will fix them by himself. Also, my father is a
good chef. He always treated me many delicious foods such as Vietnamese food, Thai food, and
Chinese food since I could remember.

Moreover, I think he is never exhausted. He seems to work all days and get only 4-5 hour
to sleep. For example, he always wakes up at 5 AM to do exercise, and then he runs us business,
takes me to school, and cooking. He is an excellent example for me to follow in my life. My
father is not only knowledgeable, but he is a successful person too. When I was child, my father
told me his story about how he started his business. He used to go to school and work 10 hours a
day. He worked hard and his money to started his business. As a results, he achieved success,
earned his employee’s admiration, and his family proud of him. Also, he is smart. He has
finished and received pharmacy degree. Besides running his business, he also works in a
hospital. I thought my father is a superhero. He inspired me to be successful. For instance, when
I came to the USA, I almost restarted everything again. I was scared that I could do that, but I
thought about how my father got success, which has encouraged me to keep going.

Finally, my father has always been by my side to make sure I overcome difficulties and
progress towards my goal. In my memory, my father was the first person to go through my
troubles. I remembered a heavy rain day. The roads heavily flooded. I was stuck at elementary
school with thunder, dark sky. It scared me a lot. Suddenly, I saw my father was wading into the
water to pick me up. The incident makes me love him so much.

In conclusion, many people have someone to look up to as their role model. For me, that
is no else but my father. He is very knowledgeable, successful, and he is a person who has one of
the biggest hearts I know.

Model of Answer :
My School Canteen
By : Sabrina

The school canteen is a place where every student gather to buy their foods
during recess time. As we can see, the school canteen is an important part of the
school. It is a place where students fill their empty stomach after hours of learning in
their classroom. Usually, the school canteen is visited by every student in every school
day. So, it is important to provide a quality canteen at the school premise. The question
is, how to provide good school canteen?

Firstly, I would like to start with the food. The school canteen should serve a well-
balanced meal for the students. This is because students need to maintain a healthy
diet. If the canteen serves junk food such as fries, sausages and burgers, students will
make it as their habit to eat unhealthy food every day at school. Junk food is not healthy
and shouldn’t be eaten for five consecutive days.

Secondly, the school canteen should have separated sections for each form. For
example, Form 5 students can eat at their own section. By this way, the school canteen
will be less chaotic and more organized. No food or drinks will be spilled, and the
canteen will remain clean. Everyone can enjoy their break peacefully and comfortably.

Lastly, the canteen can be improved by providing meals in tray and students
should bring their own containers to put the food instead of using plastic bag. By doing
this, we can reduce the usage of plastic and we can teach students the importance of
saving the environment. We can also encourage the students on benefit of using the
containers. If the student doesn’t want to eat the food at that time and want to put it to a
good use later, they can bring the food home by using the container. So that, no food
will be wasted.

All of the above are my suggestions on how the school canteen can be provided
in our school. I hope this article can benefit us in some ways and will upgrade the
school canteen to a better one. Every student should never vandalize the school
canteen and we should all take good care of it. Happy food for happy tummy from a
wonderful place.

School Award Day

The school award day always being conducted at our school. Pupils and
teachers wait for it excitedly every year. It is important to all because it recognizes
pupils’ achievement. The school award day can inspire pupils to do their best in study
as well as outdoor and indoor activities.

Firstly, I would like to start with the categories of awards. The school award day
provides various award categories like The Best Student category, Full Attendance
category, The Most Active in Sports category and many more. Any student could be
nominated in any category based on their performances. The awards given will
appreciate student’s performance and achievement in many fields.
 Secondly, the school award day prizes can be like cash money, note books,
stationeries, food containers, headphones, hand phone holders and other gadget
accessories. Pupils will like it so much and will be so inspired to do their best in study.
Also, they will get certificate for the achievement.

Lastly, the school can encourage pupils to do their best in study by conducting
many interesting programmes like Curricular Week, Canteen Day, Sports Week and
many more. By conducting interesting programmes, many pupils will feel excited and
join the programmes.

All of the above are my suggestions on how the school award day can be
conducted in our school. I hope this article can benefit us in some ways and will
upgrade the school award day to be better from a year to another year.

Question Number:

Family Unity
Family performs a crucial role to everyone’s wellness materially and psychologically
because they have someone that will love them unconditionally in spite of their shortcomings.
As everyone knows beforehand, family is a group that consist parent and their children living
together as a unit. Despite that, there are some irresponsible communities that don’t respect
their family, although a man is no island. Nonetheless, as a grateful member of the family, we
are obliged to disclose our gratitude sincerely to them all the time.

For starters, family members can spend their time together by indulging themselves in
hilarious activities. For instance, we can play some board games that comprise of everyone
taking part. Other than that, the parents can bring their children to excursion or procurement
outside their district or states. On top of that, having a barbecue beside a pristine and
breathtaking beach would be a magnificent choice indeed to make the family joined at the hip.

Subsequently, nowadays, the amount of families that has consist argument have become
increasingly obvious. Consequently, every family member has a mandatory to solve the
problems together, for example, everyone needs to agree to negotiate. If both parties
stubbornly stick to their gun, a peaceful resolution will be difficult to obtain, but it is achievable
because blood is thicker than water. Besides that, everyone need to lend their ears to each
other because misapprehensions fuel argument.

Last but not least, it has become obligation for everyone to recuperate with their family
members to strengthen their bonds. First of all, all family members especially parents should
encourage their children to open up particularly their perceptions and impressions.
Simultaneously, it is significant to respect each other’s value and appreciate them to create a
triumphant family because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

To sum up, it is proven that everyone performs a critical role to their family’s condition. From
my perspective, creating a happy family as happy as a lark is within reach but it must
contributes a remarkable members that always lend their hands to each other especially in
house chores.

Review : Sg Pandan Jiwa Camp

People nowadays are facing tough daily routine activities. Early in the morning, they will
be busy with their job or school programs. Sometimes, they need to travel far away from their
hometown to fulfill the task given. Because of that, I believe visiting interesting place can refresh
people’s mind and heal their heavy duty routines. I would like to write about review on Sg
Pandan Jiwa Camp.
First of all, the environment of this place was very fascinating and peaceful. In fact, this
place is really has a beautiful waterfall. Also, we can enjoy the place with a cup of coffee in the
camping site because this place has a coffee house that inspired by forest surrounding. However,
we can enjoy the beautiful scenery at the top of waterfall. By looking at the top of waterfall, it
will cure your black mood and stress. Despite the fact that this place is beautiful, it also has a
spacious parking lot to help visitors park their car easily and safely.
On top of that, there are lots of benefits that we could gain when you visit this place. For
instance, you can improve your survival skills such as camping activities and cook with the only
things provided. Furthermore, we can explore the forest to see the mother-nature as well as
looking at flora and fauna habitats. By doing this, we can gain knowledge about the nature. Last
but not least, we can train ourselves to be more discipline with the rule of life such as manage
time wisely and be responsible towards environmental situation.
To sum up, I would give this place a five out of five stars because it is suitable for all
ages and affordable for any group of people. I would like to recommend this place to others
because everyone can enjoy the beauty of nature. If I was given another opportunity, I would
definitely come and enjoy the facilities there again.

Review (A Laptop)

In this modern era, innovation has led to technological advancement. As a result, numerous
sophisticated gadgets for example laptops, smartphones, headphones and earphones are easily obtainable
in the market by anyone for cheaper price. However, among all the gadgets, there has been the most
widely used which is a laptop. The laptop which has been used by me is Surface Go.

First and foremost, one of the interesting features of this laptop is it’s storage capacity. It is huge
compared to any other brand of laptop. Thus, a lot of pictures, videos and documents can be stored
without buying any extra cloud storage. This is actually cost-effective as I-cloud and Google have been
charging us to use extra cloud storage recently.

Furthermore, the price of this laptop is way cheaper compared than other exclusive brands like
MacBook. Therefore, it is affordable for any working adult and can be bought by students as well. By
saving their pocket money, students can own their own laptop precisely.

Besides, a laptop can be purchased as online merchandise or at any local store. Moreover, the
quality of this product is better and not fragile like any other laptop. So, this model’s laptop could be the
best for clumsy hands and also heavy-duty usage.

Last but not least, I would recommend this laptop to everyone as its is cost-saving and has long-
lasting durability.
