Rajoo was a very mischievous boy.

He loved to play tricks on his friends and irritate

them. Most of his friends did not like him.

One day, Rajoo went to an animal shop. The animals there were all placed in their
special cages. Rajoo approached at a cat’s cage and tried to disturb the cat. He put his
hand in the cage and pulled its legs. The cat became irritated. It then scratched Rajoo’s
hand causing it to bleed.

Rajoo screamed in pain. Luckily, the owner of the shop saw his injured hand and
helped to apply some ointment on it. Since that day, Rajoo promised to turn over a new
leaf. He did not want to be mischievous anymore.

Yesterday evening, I visited my friend, Chong Beng, at his home. He was sick and
had been absent from school for a few days.

I bought some fruits to his house. I also borrowed three storybooks from the library
for Chong Beng to read.

At Chong Beng’s house, I asked him how he was. I was happy to see him smiling.
Chong Beng told me that he missed school and his friends there. He really hoped to
recover quickly so that he could return to school as soon as possible.

Before I left, he thanked me for taking time to visit him. I told him that it was my
duty as his friend.

The people in Malaysia celebrate various festivals. There are a lot of festivals
because the Malaysians consist of people from different ethnic groups. Each ethnic
group has its own festivals.

Among the festivals celebrated in Malaysia are Hari Raya Puasa, Chinese New
Year, Deepavali and Christmas.

Hari Raya Puasa is celebrated by the Malays. The Chinese celebrate Chinese New
Year. Deepavali is a special day for the Indians while for Christians, Christmas is a joyous
occasion.

Everyone in this country will participate in these festivals, young and old alike. They
will visit each other to exchange greetings.
 Animals are part of nature, but what will happen if they are not around?

They are very important to us humans. We do not only keep them as pets. The ox
helps farmers to plough the land in rice fields. They make the farmer‘s work easier.

We will not be able to enjoy delicious chicken wing and scrambled egg if there
are no chickens. The meat and eggs of the chicken are rich in protein too.

Some animals warn us of danger. This is why people keep watchdog. These dogs
can tell if a person is a stranger and will start barking loudly. Police dogs are trained to
trace drugs. Animals are very useful to us.

Exercise is important in our lives. By exercising, we will be able to stay healthy.

Exercise also helps the body fight diseases. Besides that, it makes the mind more alert.

It is not hard to find a place to exercise. We can exercise at home or outside.

We must exercise regularly. This means that we need to exercise at least three
times a week.

Swimming is an exercise that works best. We move a lot of muscles when we swim.
Besides swimming, we can also jog in an open area. This is the easiest form of exercise.

We are now living in a modern world. The telephone has become a very important
communication tool.

The telephone makes it possible for two people to talk over a long distance. For
example, a person can still contact his or her family here while being overseas.

In cases of emergency, we can easily call for help using telephone. Then the
police, ambulance or firefighters can immediately come to rescue.

The telephone service is also required in business. Businessmen often discuss their
projects through the phone.
