Paragraph
Students must exercise to keep fit and healthy.
They ought to take part in all kinds of games and
sports. Just as studies exercise the brain, games
exercise the body.
Saving is not only for the adults. Children too,
should be encouraged to save. By saving,
children learn the value of money. They learn to
buy only what they need, and not to waste their
money on unnecessary things.
Crows often make a lot of noise. In the morning,
they wake up very early and greet each other
loudly. Then they fly off together to get their
breakfast. Whenever they are, you can hear them
crowing loudly.
To improve your English, you must read books.
If you read books, you will learn more words and
phrases. You will get more knowledge and ideas.
If you have ideas and know a lot of words, you
will be able to write better.
Smoking is bad for health. When you smoke,
you will lose your stamina. Your lungs become
polluted. As a result, you may fall sick. You
will have brownish teeth and bad breath.
Examinations are set for various reasons. They
can be used to check a students academic
progress. They can be used to select a student for
a scholarship. They can also be used to select a
student for a particular course.
Water
is
important
natural
resource.
Unfortunately the quality of water and the
sources of water supply have been badly
affected. The feeling of trees has caused soil
erosion. This has in turn polluted the rivers and
the quality of water.

Main idea
The quality of water and the sources
of water supply have been badly
affected as a result of felling of trees.
Examinations are set to check a
students academic progress or for
selecting students for a scholarship
or a course.
Saving should be encouraged as it
teaches us not to spend
unnecessarily.
Smoking is bad for health

and healthy

A. Read the passage below, underline and write down 5 main ideas what one can do in
Pangkor.
Dear Mum,
Im having a great time here in Pangkor. My friends and I have been spending our days
swimming in the sea. The water is warm and inviting. In fact, we are enjoying ourselves so much
that we would only get out of the water when the sun sets. We also enjoy water-sports activities
such as jet skiing and para-sailing.
Yesterday, we took a boat to another island off the west coast to do some fishing. We
didnt catch any fish though, just some old shoes and plastic bottles!
We also took a day tour round the island that offered us a glimpse of some historical sites
that date back to the time of the Dutch. The tour also included visits to some cottage industries
such as a batik-making factory. The nights are the best for us. The streets come alive with little
stalls selling all sort of things and we really like strolling along the streets then.
We will be leaving the island tomorrow to continue our journey up north to Penang. I will
write again soon to tell you about my adventures there. Bye.
Love,
Nicole

science project as well as his mathematical problems. Kartigesen was delighted. In the evening,
it even swept the floor and mopped the house. He dreamt that he spent all the time playing the
computer games while the robot went about doing his work. Kartigesen made the robot do more
and more work. Suddenly the robot became violent. It pulled off wires and tore Kartigesens
books. It turned to Kartigesen. Just at that moment, Kartigesen got up with a shock with all his
books and homework all over him. Thank goodness, it was just a bad dream!
