Subject : 10th Anniversary Celebration of Golden Flowers Mall

Dear Sharina,
There are many events you can attend during the tenth anniversary celebration of the Golden
Flowers Mall. I think one of the most interesting events would be the Dazzling Fireworks on 16 July.
I am sure the fireworks will look very beautiful and amazing. Another interesting event is the Karaoke
Evening on 19 July. You can have a good time singing. You can also join the telematch on 20 July.
I am sure it will be a lot of fun. Go with your family so you can share the excitement of the celebration
with them. Goodbye.

Your friend,
Alina

(a) Mary and her sister, Tina went to a shopping centre to watch a movie. After the movie, they
decided to go have something to eat. On the way to the restaurant, they met a small boy who was
by himself. He was crying. Mary and Tina asked him what was wrong.

At first, the boy refused to answer them. Mary and Tina told him they wanted to help. Finally,
he said that he was lost. He could not find his mother. Mary and Tina quickly took the boy to the
information counter. Luckily, the boy’s mother was there too. The boy and his mother were happy
to be reunited.

The boy’s mother thanked the two girls. Mary and Tina were glad they could help.

(b) One afternoon Arvind and Sanjeev went to the field. They wanted to fly their kites. That day,
the wind blew strongly so their kites flew higher and higher.

Suddenly, the string attached to Arvind’s kite snapped. His kite flew away. The boys ran after
the kite but they could not reach it.

After some time, the kite got caught on a tree branch. Sanjeev quickly climbed up the tree to
bring the kite down. Arvind was glad to get his kite back. After that, the boys went home together.
