Steven is an athlete who can run as fast as lightning. ‘King 0f the field’ is the
moniker given to him by his schoolmates. A few days ago, Steven’s school held its annual
Sports Day grandly at the stadium. A day before the event,the stadium was painted-red by
the teachers and pupils. It was a feast to the eyes to see multi-coloured buntings and
balloons hung all over the place. The red-lettered day was officiated by the headmaster,Mr.
Mokhtar, after giving a highly motivating speech to the participants of the track and field
events. Everyone applauded loudly as he cut the decorated ribbon to officially declare the
Sports Day of SK Taman Cendana.
As always Steven took part in most of the running events but the highlight
was the 100-metre race. He ran like the wind as soon as the air pistol was fired by the
referee. He fought tooth and nail to win the race since all the other ethletes were equally
good. At last, he managed to reach the finishing line first to win the coveted trophy.
All the spectators cheered thunderously when Steven won the race because
he was the favourite of the crowd. During the prize giving ceremony, the MC made an
announcement that Steven broke the school record in the 100-metre race. He was over the
moon to hear the pleasant surprise that he shed tears of joy. He made his parents and
teachers proud by becoming the Sports Man Of The Year. It was an unforgettable moment
for Steven.

Ricky is a litter bug and a disobedient boy. He is hard headed too. All the advices
given to him by his parents and teachers always fall in deaf ears. One day ,he was caught
red-handed for littering by a prefect on duty. He warned Ricky and asked him to pick the
rubbish. Ricky ignored the prefect’s order and walked away. The prefect who was annoyed
by his behaviour reported the matter to the teacher on duty, Mr Chong.
Mr Chong wanted to teach Ricky a lesson so he sent for Ricky. The teacher gave
him a tongue lashing for bad attitude. He punished Ricky by asking him to bring all the
wastepaper baskets from all around the school to the recycling corner. Mr Chong told Ricky
to sort out the rubbish and throw into the recycle bins. The rubbish was as dirty as a hog so
Ricky had a hard time sorting it out.

to spend some time at their village. Atan and his sister were over the moon to hear that.
They left for their village in Terengganu early in the morning since it was a long journey.
Their father drove carefully to ensure their safety. Along the journey, they saw a variety of
flora and fauna. It was indeed a feast to the eyes.
The next morning,both the children woke up at dawn. Their grandfather took
the to thr beach while it was still dark. They were surprised to see a crowd of people, who
looked like foreigners , looking at something quietly with torchlights in hands. As they
approached the spot, they were spellbound to see a huge leatherback turtle laying eggs in a
hole. Atan was astonished to see hundreds of eggs being laid by the humble reptile. He
quickly grabbed his camera and started taking several shots as remembrance. It was one of
the most interesting experiences he had ever gained.
After the turtle went back to the sea, all the curious onlookers dispersed from
the scene grinning broadly. Back home the children showed the SETs to their grandmother
who was waiting patiently with piping hot breakfast. After visiting other places, it was time
to leave. They embraced their grandparents and promised to visit them again during the
