The Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) is an interesting spot which gives us an insight into the countrys tropical forests. Genting Highlands Resort offers fun and excitement for the whole family. Frasers 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, Mothers 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 ones parent. Never give things in pairs to a sick person for nobody wants misfortune twice.

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. Thats all for now and do keep in touch. Your cousin, Fauziah

B5 DT1 E1 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.

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.

What about fillings? Our dentists will certainly do fillings when needed. Do we need to pay? Again, this service is free of charge for students. Do you do braces? That again is affirmative. How much is it? Unfortunately, a nominal fee is applicable. I heard that doing braces can be a long process. Is that true? Well, treatment with braces can be complicated. It will certainly require multiple appointments with the dentist. Does that mean a great deal of patience is involved? I wouldnt go so far as to say that. However I would say that a person wearing braces must have the commitment to see the treatment through. Im also interested to know if you do dentures. Im pleased to say that we can do dentures. Do we need to pay? As with braces, there is a sum payable. OK, thank you. Youre welcome.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows. Water is the most valuable gift Mother Nature has given to mankind. Unfortunately, the worlds natural water supply is becoming more and more polluted. The main causes of water pollution are oil spills, farming wastes, industrial wastes and acid rain. Oil spills occur when huge oil tankers have leaks. The oil destroys many forms of marine life. All the fish, whales, dolphins, plankton and coral depend on clean water to survive. Many fish and plants die after such accidents as the oil spill may take years to clean up. If the spill occurs near land, the oil will be washed up onto the beach affecting sea birds and animals on the land. When a sea bird is covered with oil, its feathers become heavy and sticky. It may lose its ability to fly and survive. Nowadays, many kinds of pesticides are used in farming. The rain washes pesticides and fertilizer from the fields to the rivers and oceans. Some farmers dump their animal wastes in the river as they do not know how to get rid of the waste properly. Industrial wastes are even more dangerous. They are acidic and very harmful to humans. Factories often dump their industrial wastes straight into the sea. The fish drink this polluted water which in turn will affect humans. Some people even transport drums of industrial wastes and dump them into rivers although this is against the law. Gases and fumes from cars, factories and power stations are dissolved in the rain drops to produce a weak acid. This acid rain pollutes the oceans and destroys forests. Acid rain can be carried from one country to another by wind.

Georgetown
Georgetown, the capital of Pulau Pinang (also known as Penang Island), is located at the northeastern tip of the island. Skyscrapers, single-storeyed residential houses, modern apartment buildings and slums are found in this city. Its population of more than one million is made up of the major ethnic groups in Malaysia. The island is linked to the mainland by the famous Penang Bridge which is 13 kilometres long. There is also a ferry service between the main and the island. Pulau Pinang is a small island and because of its rapid development, there are many environmental problems. There is not enough land and so land has to be reclaimed from the sea. Much of the reclaimed land is just a few feet above sea level. Georgetown itself is located in one of the lowest lying areas on the island. Many parts of the city experience flash floods after a downpour. Flooding in Pulau Pinang is a serious problem now, especially in areas such as Jalan P.Ramlee in the city centre. Traffic comes to a standstill and there are long queues for buses and taxis. Another major problem is traffic congestion. Traffic congestion in the city is also caused by: poor public transportation insufficient and narrow roads the increasing number of vehicles Other environmental issues are: landslides oil spills from ships the dumping of rubbish - haze and pollution - flash floods - waste from factories - bad driving habits - inadequate traffic control
Pulau Pinang needs to take care of its environment and pay more attention to these problems.

B4 DT1 E1 Sample Answer: Date : 10 Oct 2012 To : The Editor of Teens magazine
Topic : How Students of SMK Kupang Spent Their School Holidays A survey was carried out among 200 students of SMK Kupang on how they spent their last school holidays. They had carried out a number of activities. About 70 students spent their time watching movies or television. This shows that they enjoyed watching movies or television as a form of entertainment. Another 50 students loved reading during the school break especially novels as they did not have much time to spend on reading on other days. Some of them also spent time surfing the internet for suitable books and reading materials online. 35 students went camping and hiking either with their families or friends. These students love the outdoors and some of them have been found to be actively involved in camping activities organised by the school. Working part time also seemed to be a choice for 25 students who wanted to make some pocket money in order to buy new school uniforms and shoes without burdening their parents. Some of the students went for picnics with their families. About 15 of them spent time with their families at beaches or waterfalls nearby. Another 5 students were lucky enough to go on holidays overseas like Perth and Ontario. In conclusion, some of the students had spent their holidays wisely like reading books and working part time. Those who spent time watching movies or television may want a break from books after working hard for almost a year. Nevertheless, it is advisable for all students to do some revision so they do not forget what they had studied. Written by, Beloona Johnson

B5 DL1 E1 Sample Answer
A very good morning to our lovely English teacher Puan Lily, and my fellow friends. Today, I would like to talk about Open Day. Open Day is a special event which involves the teachers, students and parents at large. It is a spectacular event for there are numerous activities and sales going on throughout the day.
As for my school, the Open Day came to pass on 7 October 2012. As early as 7.30 in the morning, the teachers and students set up the stalls around the school field. The school hall was decorated to the finest for the closing ceremony. Around 8 in the morning, parents, family members and guardians of the students swarmed all over the school areas.
There were many activities held such as karaoke competition, road safety exhibition, songs dedication, martial arts demonstration, cooking competition and not forgotten indoor games competition. The activities were opened to all, including the visitors. Most parents spent their times taking part in the cooking competition for they could spend quality time together along with their children.
Besides the happening activities, booths and stalls were crowded too. There were various types of foodstuff and merchandise sold at reasonable prices. Food stalls were the most visited stand for the vendors were selling scrumptious and mouth-watering food, snacks and desserts. People had to queue up for quite a long time to fill their stomachs.
Since each family brought along family members to the Open Day, the school was packed with children and teenagers. They spent their times by joining the karaoke and indoor games competitions for the prizes awaited were quite tempting. When noon was approaching, the number of visitors was decreased and approximately at 3 oclock in the afternoon, the prize-giving ceremony took place at the school hall.
Once the ceremony ended, most parents and family members left for home. There were only a few teachers and students left to ensure that the rubbish was littered properly.

Participated - arts and crafts competition
ANSWER:
Last week, I had a wonderful time celebrating Merdeka Day with many friends in school. As usual, my school held our yearly celebrations. However, this year the show of patriotism among the students gained pace with a three-day event. Being purely a student initiative, the Merdeka celebration aimed to spark the awareness of unity among the students and I think we succeeded to a certain extent. The carnival kicked off with a food sale where tempting traditional delights like bubur cha cha, vadai and yau cha kuih were sold by the English Language Society. Delicious cupcakes and brownies added variety. Dishes like nasi lemak, nyonya laksa, Indian chicken curry with nasi biryani and Devils Curry were popular items with the students and teachers. After lunch, we adjourned to the Hall for the much anticipated cultural performance. The students from the Drama Club performed a very graceful multiracial dance. Besides that, they wore colorful traditional costumes. Apart from this, a short sketch highlighted the varied and wonderful Malaysia way of life. A mixture of Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban and Kadazan dances caught our imagination with their magnificent performance. Other that that, a patriotic contest was held in the basketball court. Participants shouted, Merdeka! Merdeka! in the most creative way and then answered questions on Malaysian history. An arts and crafts competition was also held in the Art Room. Many students participated in this competition. Handicrafts made from local materials with the most interesting and innovative designs were selected and put on display. We had a lot of fun and it was educational too. The spirit of Merdeka was definitely in the air.

B6 DL1 E1 Sample Instrument A. Listen to the text read by the teacher and talk about the similarities or differences between your life and that of the characters. When he was well, he returned to school, but he was no longer the quiet Zahid he had once been. A change had come over him. It was as though the fever had created a new Zahid. Every few minutes, one of Mr. Jamals pupils would cry out, in despair, Teacher, Zahid wont let me do my work, Teacher, Zahid pulled my hair, Teacher, Zahid smeared ink on my nose, Teacher, Zahid hit me, Teacher, Zahid thisZahid that Once or twice Mr. Jamal warned him, Zahid, stay in your seat, and then tried to ignore him. But after having his ears pounded by dozens of complaints, Mr. Jamal became angry and instructed Zahid to come up to his desk. Zahid, youve turned into a little monster! In reply Zahid merely lifted his eyebrows and gazed off into space. He was really putting on a show. From time to time, he sniggered. No one could fathom his thoughts.
Based on the extract from the short story The Pencil
B6 DL1 E1 Sample Answer In the extract I found that Zahid was once a quiet boy who became a different person after a fever. He became mischievous and naughty. Unlike Zahid, I am not a quiet person. I am rather talkative. However, compared to Zahids naughty character I am quite the opposite. I can be considered as an obedient and wellbehaved person.

Sample Instrument Based on the short story One is One and All Alone that you have learnt and the synopsis of the short stories below, explain the difference between you and the character in the short story. One is One and All Alone is set in 2045. Trish is an 11-year old girl who is the only child on a spaceship on a spaceship to Trion. Her father is the Executive Officer of the spaceship. Her mother is in Trion helping to set up a space station. Trish will meet her mother in mid January 2047. After three months in the spaceship, Trish feels lonely and bored because she does not have any real friends. She only has her intelligent computer: the VoicePrinter(VP) which keeps Trish entertained with its ability to perform many functions. Through VP, Trish learns about clones and the cloning process. Trish is fascinated by the idea and soon decides to create a clone to keep her company in the spaceships Biolab without her fathers knowledge. She names her new identical twin Clo, short form of Clone. Initially, Clo becomes Trishs perfect friend and companion. They have fun playing and sharing their time together. However, after a while, Trish becomes irritated with Clo because Clo behaves and thinks like her. Soon, Trish and Clo start to argue and disagree with each other over unimportant matters Clos habit of picking bits of skin around a fingernail, Clo repeats whatever Trish said exactly the same time, Clo wearing the same clothes or telling the same joke. The last straw happens one night when Clo starts referring to Trishs mother as her mother. This really upsets Trish because she feels her privacy is being invaded. The next day, Trish confides in VP that she does not like being swarmed, invaded and taken over by Clo. At that instant, she decides to dispose Clo forever through the DISPOSAL hatch near her cabin. The story ends with a twist because it is Clo who disposed Trish, not, Trish who disposed Clo. This happens because Trish forgets that Clo knows what Trish thinks, so Clo knew about Trishs plan. Clo then assumes Trishs Identity and Trishs dad is not aware of the change at all. Clo then enjoys being one and all alone and her new life as Trish in the spaceship.
Sample Answer There are some similarities and differences between me and the character Trish in the short story One is One and All Alone. I think Trish and I have a similarity in which we are both resourceful. Trish is resourceful because to help overcome her boredom in the spaceship, she created a clone of herself after learning about cloning from VoicePrinter. She did it on her own in the Biolab without anyones help. As for me, when I have problems or obstacles in my life, I would find ways to find solutions on my own. I try to be resourceful because I know I have to depend on myself in whatever I do. However, the difference between Trish and I are firstly, I am not so hasty in making my decision, unlike Trish. Before I make any decision, I will think long and hard about the consequences and the effects of my decision because they affect my life. As for Trish, she made a hasty decision in creating Clo after she learnt about cloning and because of her loneliness. She should have thought of the consequences and the effects before she made any decision. Another difference is Trish is not grateful with what she had, while I try to be thankful with what I have. Trish is not grateful that she had a father who still made time for her even though he was busy because he was the Executive Officer of the spaceship. Trish is not grateful that she had Clo as a friend because Trish decided to get rid of Clo. I am not like Trish because I appreciate what I have and I try not to ask for things that are not within my reach.

HEIR CONDITIONING - By N SHANmughallingam Grand dad did you breath Before air cons were invented Was it hard staying Alive without modern inventions? Grandma werent you flustered As you fluttered with paper fans ? Could you communicate before Faxes and long distance calls Became basic necessities? Grandchild we lived Before your age. Because of our ignorance , We did not know Pollution, stress, traffic jams Destruction of forests, streams and Hills We feared God and nature Now nature fears you and Money is your new God
B6DL1E1 Sample answer: The differences between the life of the grandparents and I are many. Firstly, we live without many sacrifices. We use better mode of transportation to move from one place to another. But, the grandparents didnt have to face the air pollution that we are facing at the moment. Secondly, there are also many hospitals available now to save ones life. However, then, people can only pray or wait for him to recover. The similarities between the grandchild and I are we cannot live without modern inventions such as mobile phones and computers. We too are now facing the polluted environment. We need the modern invention because we are used to having them. Probably without it we will suffer and do not enjoy our life. In short, modern inventions are beneficial but are indirectly giving us problems because their production and use cause environmental problem, for example, the air conditioner.
