Health Advice
From Our Doctor
Look Good and Feel Good

You are what you eat. If you eat too much oily or sweet food, you may gain
weight. You may also feel tired and sleepy.

You must eat healthy food. You must eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. When
you eat healthy food, you will not get sick easily.

Paven is telling his friends what he does to stay healthy.

Speech. (Page 14, Year 3)

Good morning friends. To be healthy, I eat balanced meals and I exercise. I drink
plenty of water and get enough sleep.
I usually eat bread or boiled eggs for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, I
usually eat rice, fish, and vegetables. I love vegetables like long beans, carrots
and cabbages. I also eat a lot of fruits like papayas, apples and strawberries.
I do not like oily food like fried chicken. I always exercise in the evening. I
play games like Police and Thieves with my friends. I enjoy cycling in the park.
That’s it. Thank you.

Write about what you do to stay healthy.

Ashwini wrote in her diary about her ride in the safari. (page 78, Year 3)

Dear Diary,
I am very happy today because my father took me to the safari. I saw many
interesting animals in the safari. I learned their names and what food they like to
eat. I found out that ostriches are big birds that cannot fly. They eat fruits and
seeds. I learned that giraffes are the tallest animals in the world. They can eat
leaves from tall trees. I also learned that elephants can use their trunks to breathe
like we use a snorkel in water.
I hope I can visit the safari again.

Now you try.

Mount Fuji, the Symbol of Japan (page 150, Year 4)

Jagjit went on a holiday to Japan with her grandparents. They visited Mount Fuji.
It is located on Honshu Island. Mount Fuji is also the highest mountain in Japan. It
stands at 3,776 metres. She found out the mountain is surrounded by five beautiful
lakes. She also found out the entire area around the base is a national park.
Mount Fuji’s beautiful peak has made it one of the most popular sites in
Japan. The best time to visit is from July to August. During this season, hundreds of
climbers hike the mountain every day. People cannot climb the mountain during
winter when the weather and temperature are not suitable for climbing.

amazed by the courtyard. It was well maintained with big
colourful flowers and beautiful plants. The trees were green

and birds were chirping. I could spend hours painting there.

My favourite area in the castle was the Art Gallery. As

you know, the King is an avid art collector. He collects
paintings from all over the world. Most of the paintings were

Subject Sarawak River Cruise

Dear May Lee,

How are you? I hope you are well. Everyone here is fine.
In your email, you wanted to know the best way to see the beautiful
city of Kuching. Well, one of the best ways is to go on a cruise along the
Sarawak River. The Sarawak River Cruise provides a unique and different
experience. Along your journey on the river, you will pass small house-like
boats called perahu tambang which are used to ferry locals across the river.
You will also see Malay kampung houses built on stilts and fishing villages.
Besides that, you will pass the Astana, which used to be Rajah Brooke’s
residence. Located next to Astana is Fort Margherita which is now a police
museum.
Before returning to Kuching city, you will cruise by the Satok Bridge.
Make sure you don’t miss the new State Legislative Building. It is as grand as a
palace and resembles the Melanau tribal hat.

That’s all for now. Bye.

Dear Sigat,
How are you? It is the school holiday here in Japan and I have been visiting a

My family and I went to see cherry blossoms. These flowers are also

May. We had a picnic along the riverbank to enjoy the flower most loved by
the Japanese.
Apart from that, I also went to Tokyo, the capital city of Japan. It is one
of the world’s largest cities. My mother went shopping in several big malls. She
bought me two dresses and a pair of earrings.
You should visit me one day. I will take you to the best local restaurant

Saving Our Environment (page 54, Year 6)

Good morning everyone. How are you today? I am Mr Tan, the Advisor to
the Junior Environment Club. I am here to talk about how young people like you
can save our Mother Earth.
First, switch off and unplug all the electrical gadgets when not in use. If we
do not switch off televisions, computers, laptops or telephone chargers, they
would still consume electricity. Therefore, switch off and unplug the gadgets to
save on power consumption.
Next, switch to energy efficient lights. Fluorescent or LED light bulbs last
longer and use less electricity than conventional bulbs, so, switch to energy
efficient lights because they are long-lasting and economical.
You can also collect rain water. You can use it to water plants, clean drains
and porches. Thus, collecting rain water helps to conserve water and save on
water bills.
Last but not least, please avoid using disposable items. Plastic cups, bags,
and containers take a minimum of 20 years to decompose. You can use your own
bags or refuse to accept plastic bags when shopping. Hence, you can reduce
the amount of waste going into landfills.
To conclude, I hope you as the next generation would protect and save
our Mother Earth. I would like to end my speech by saying “Keep the future bright,
turn off the light.” Thank you.

A bank officer us giving a talk to pupils of Sekolah Kebangsaan Tunas Cipta about
children’s savings account. (page 136, Year 6)

Good morning pupils. I’m Encik Ramzi, from VC bank. Today, I would like to talk to
you about our ‘Junior Savings Account.’ It’s a great way to develop the habit of
saving money.
The ‘Junior Savings Account’ is a savings account for primary school
children between seven to twelve years old. You must be a Malaysian to open
an account.
You cannot open an account yourself. Your parent or guardian must do it
for you. You can enjoy earning profits when you save using this account. The more
you save, the higher your profits you earn.
The good news is you can open an account with only RM1.00. You will also
get a recognition card with birthday gifts, discounts at selected book and food
outlets, and your very own money box.
I hope you will not miss this golden opportunity to save with us. For those
interested, please proceed to our booth at the end of the hall. Thank you.
