among the leaves and tall grasses. They sleep during the day and search for food only at
night.

6 NOVEMBER 2015
Dear Maria,

How are you? Are you busy preparing for your monthly tests? I know you do not like

tests, but they help you to be more prepared for your UPSR. I know you always score good

marks.

Next week, my uncle and aunt are coming to visit us. They will keep me busy. My

aunt enjoys cooking, but she always asks me to help her in the kitchen. I do not like washing

the dishes because I often break them.

I will have no chance to watch my favourite programmes on television, too. My uncle

likes to watch sports programmes, but I prefer cartoons. To keep me away from the

television, he buys me magazines. Most of them are about education. I prefer magazines

about famous people.

I would like to write to Zurina and Ranjini. Can you get the addresses for me, please?

I have written to Mei Ling, Tina and Sarah too, but they have not send me even a postcard

since I moved to my new school.

Thats all for now. Hope to hear from you soon.

Your friend,
Linda

Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Cleanliness is very important when we handle food. There are many ways to ensure
that the food we prepare is clean and healthy to eat.

First, we must wash all fruits and vegetables carefully before eating or cooking. We
must never eat unwashed apples and oranges or unwashed beans and carrots. The reason is
they may still contain pesticides which may harm us.

Not only must we wash all pots and pans but also dishes, forks and spoons. We must
use clean water and soap to do this. Clearly, this will help remove all germs and bacteria.

Personal cleanliness is also very important. Make sure that your hair is covered before
you begin to cook. Always wash your hands with soap and water before you prepare or serve
food.

Finally, remember to keep all food covered. Also keep gardens and drains clean.
Remember! Rubbish attracts flies and rats. Unclean surroundings too, may lead to diseases.

Read the story below. Answer the questions that follow.

Long ago, there were two friends who were farmers. Their names were Ujang and

Ramli. They were best of friends and neighbours too.

One day, when Ujang was digging a well, he found a wooden box buried deep in the

ground. He opened and found gold coins in it. Ujang told Ramli what he had found. He said,

You are my best friend. I plan to share half the gold with you. Ramli replied, Ill take the

box home and take out my share. Then you can have the rest.

Back home, when Ramli and his wife saw the gold coins, they became greedy. They

wanted all the gold for themselves. Ramli and his wife imagined what they could do with the

gold. After dinner, they opened the box once more to see the gold coins. To their surprise, the

gold coins suddenly changed into worms. Ramli thought Ujang played a trick on him.

Feeling angry and disappointed, Ramli and his wife took the box to Ujangs house. As

they came nearer, they could hear Ujang and his wife talking about their good fortune. Ramli

and his wife became angrier. They wanted to teach Ujang and his wife a lesson. They decided

to climb up the roof. Through a hole on the roof, they emptied the box of worms onto the
