Dear Maria,

How are you? I'm writing this email to help you choose a better
birthday present.

Firstly, I think a smart watch is better. You can buy a

Samsung or Oppo smart watch. Secondly, there are some
reasons why I choose this present. My sister likes smart
watch functions such as heart rate monitor and games. She
will be very happy when she gets it. I'm sure of it!

That's all for now.

answer below.

To: suffi@gmail.com
Subject: Camping

Dear Suffi,
How are you? I'm writing this email to respond to your
questions about our camping activity.
Firstly, I think we should go to Gunung Ledang waterfall.
It's near our house and the place is beautiful. I'm sure you'll
like it. Secondly, we can swim and have a barbecue session
there. At night, we can build a campfire too. Lastly, I think
we should bring a big tent for sleeping and some sausages,
chicken wings and matches for barbecue.
That's all for now. Hope you like my idea.
Bye! Love,
Ally

Step 1: Read and identify the keywords

Step 2: Plan the answers

Main idea: what I would spend my
money on what I would like to
buy ---
sport shoes and some
stationery reasons for my
choice ---
I like to do sports like basketball and
badminton If I have good sport shoes,
then I can do the
activities more comfortably .
To study well, I need a complete set of
stationery where do I usually buy these
things---
sport shoes - Bata shop
stationery - Popular Bookstore
 Step 3: Write the essay

Money is important in our lives. We need money to buy many

things.
As students, we get our money mainly from our parents.
My class has been discussing how they spend their
money and my teacher has asked me to write an essay
about what I would spend my money on. To spend my
money, I would like to buy a pair of sport shoes and some
stationery.
There are some reasons for my choice. Firstly, I choose a
pair of sport shoes because I like to do some sports such as
basketball and badminton. Secondly, if I have good sport
shoes, I can do the activities more comfortably. Thirdly,
regarding the stationery, I believe a student needs a
complete set of stationery to study well.
I usually buy them at the shops in my hometown. For the
sport shoes, I prefer to buy them at a shoes shop called
"Bata" and for my stationery, I like to buy them at Popular
Bookstore located in Kluang Mall.
In conclusion, spend your money wisely. Don't waste it.

My School Canteen

My school canteen is one of the best spots in my school. It is

beautiful and comfortable. The food price is reasonable. My friends and
I like to spend our time there during our recess.

Currently, our school canteen serves Malaysian food like coconut

rice, fried noodles and curry noodles. They are so delicious. In my
opinion, Western food can also be served. They can sell chicken chops
and some spaghetti. Other than that, cake slices like chocolate
cakes would be nice. Some special facilities should be added. I
would like to suggest that our canteen provides us with a
television, a vending machine and a radio. These facilities will make the
students very happy. A television with some educational shows is
good. A vending machine will give more variety of drinks for students
to choose. A radio will make the situation at the canteen not too
noisy with students' voices.

To improve my school canteen, firstly, I should put up some

cleanliness posters. This will ensure all students to take care of
the cleanliness whenever they are there. Secondly, I think I can
set up a reading corner at the canteen. Students can read books
during recess.

 In conclusion, canteen is an important spot during recess. I
hope my canteen condition will be improved from time to time.

Kungfu Hustle

Kungfu Hustle is a mandarin movie I have watched recently. This

movie is a comedy. The director is Stephen Chow, a professional
director who has produced a lot of interesting movies. The leading
actors are Stephen Chow and Yuen Wah. Both of them are very
famous.

This movie is not a modern movie. Set in Canton, China in the

1940s, the story revolves in a town ruled by the Axe Gang, Sing
who desperately wants to become a member. He stumbles into a
slum ruled by eccentric landlords who turns out to be the greatest
kungfu masters in disguise. Sing's actions eventually cause the Axe
Gang and the slumlords to engage in an explosive kungfu battle.
Only one side will win and only one hero will emerge as the
greatest kungfu master of all.

I like the plot as it is simple. This movie doesn't have any

soundtracks. I like the lead actor's acting as it's so real. The CGI is
not too sharp and looks weird sometimes. The costumes are superb.
The ending is nice too.

Overall, I like this movie so much because comedy is my

movie is definitely for you. I recommend you to watch it.

Mersing Beach Campsite: The best summer camp

Searching for a place for a summer camp? Mersing Beach

Campsite in Mersing, Johor is the best choice.
This place is perfect for many exciting physical activities.
This campsite provides a lot of facilities for campers such as
barbecue pits, nice toilets and a big hall. The place can accommodate
200 campers per night. The hall can be used for camping assemblies
and as a place to have meals. The place is near to a forest.
Campers can get the chance to have camping near the beach but
with forest activities.
Mersing Beach Campsite provides campers with food. It is
included in the package. Local food such as fried noodles, fish dishes with
rice and local cakes are served daily. They are very delicious. Hunger
will never be a problem during the stay. Teenagers will like everything
served there.
The campsite has facilities for outdoor activities too. Campers
will get the chance to play beach volleyball and Frisbee. Since it is
near the forest, everyone can go jungle trekking. The experience will
be memorable as in the forest, they will test their endurance and
patience.

Benmael Restaurant

Benmael Restaurant is a new restaurant located in Kluang, Johor. It is

near to the railway station and a good place for friend and family
gatherings. This restaurant serves Western food. It is owned by Mr.
Ismail bin Ahmad.
The Western food served at this restaurant is chicken chop,
lamb chop and burgers. The special menu is grilled chicken burger
and lamb chop. The place is a bit crowded but the tables and chairs
are always enough. The restaurant is painted orange and black. This
makes the place looks lively and welcoming. Since there are many
customers around, the place is a bit noisy but at an acceptable level.
Firstly, I like Benmael Restaurant because the Western food served is
so tasty. It appeals to my taste buds so much. Secondly, they will not
let us wait too long for our food. The waiters are polite and efficient.
They will help us whenever we ask them. Lastly, one thing about
this restaurant that I dislike is the television is too small. I think
they should provide a bigger television for every customer to view it
clearly.
Overall, I like this restaurant so much because all food served is
delicious. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to others. I am

Your college has decided to start its own TV channel for
students. You
have been asked to write a report for the college dean about

Write your report.
Report on the College Television
Channel
Introduction
The aim of this report is to describe the kinds of television
programmes that students at the college would find informative and
entertaining.
Information
Students often complain that they do not have enough information
about college facilities such as the library and the performing art
studios. Programmes about different areas of the college could be
shown each week. Students would be able to see all the facilities
and learn how and when they can use them. College news
programmes would keep students up to date, and useful information
such as bus timetables could be included.
Entertainment
'What's On' programmes telling students about films, theatre
performances and concerts that are coming to the college would help
increase audiences. Video clips of films and bands could also be
shown as these are always very popular. In order to make our foreign
students feel more welcome, multi-cultural themes could also be
included.
Recommendation

I recommend that a good mixture of news, college information and
entertainment programmes be broadcast on the college TV
channel. This will encourage all students to become more involved
in the life of the college.

To: Abang Othman Masagus, Head Teacher of SMK Green Road
From: Paul Abidin
Subject: Shine in the Dark
1. Introduction
This report focuses on some aspects of our school magazine, Shine
in the Dark, which need to be improved in order to update it and
make it more appealing.
2. Becoming digital
It is a fact that the Internet has changed the way people get informed
nowadays. As a result, an online version of the magazine would be
easier for students to access than its printed form. It would also
make the magazine available to parents and other people in the
community.
3. New features
A large majority of the students believe that Shine in the Dark should
have more variety. For example, discussion forums, chat rooms and
a place for students to publish their projects and artwork are just a
few ideas of what could be added to the online version of the
magazine.
4. Student involvement
Last but not least, more students should be involved in all stages of
the oublication process, for example when deciding on the topics,
when writing up the articles or working on the design. If we go
online, a lot of students from ICT classes would be motivated to
