Question 1

Homestay Review
Have you been to any homestay lately?
Send us your review of the homestay.
Explain what you liked and disliked about the homestay.
Would you recommend it to your relatives? Why?

Sample Answer
Last year, my family and I went to Melaka for a holiday. We stayed at a five-star
hotel. It was a great holiday. Last week, we went to Melaka. Melaka is my family’s favourite
holiday destination. My father booked a homestay. We stayed at a homestay. The owner is
Mr Razak. He started his homestay business three years ago.
I like the homestay because it is small bungalow. It has a good parking space.
Besides, it is near a food court. It is easy for us to buy foods. My mother said she felt lazy to
cook at the homestay so we just bought foods at the food court. Next, the homestay has four
rooms. I love all the rooms. The rooms are clean.
I do not like two things about the homestay. First, it was noisy at night. There is a
karaoke centre at the food court. I could not sleep when the singers sang loudly. Some of
them were terrible singers. Moreover, it is far from town. My father had to drive for 45
minutes to go to town.
I do not wish to recommend the homestay to my relatives. It is noisy. All the singing
activities only stop at 2.00 a.m. Moreover, it is far from town. I am sure they can find a better
homestay or hotel in town.
To conclude, Melaka has a special place in my heart. I want to visit Melaka again. I do not
want to stay at a homestay but I want to stay at a hotel.
Question 2

Food Court Review

Have you been to any food court lately?
Send us your review of the food court.
How many stars would you give to the food court? Why?
Would you recommend it to your friends? Why?
Sample Answer

Malay foods, Thai foods, Chinese foods, Indian foods and western foods are served at
Purnama Food Court. It is a popular food court. It is located at 56, Jalan Gasing. My
girlfriend and I always go to Purnama Food Court.

I give four stars to the food court. My girlfriend disagrees with me. She gives five
stars. First, the food court has different types of foods. It has 34 stalls. To me, it has the best
satay in the world. The chicken and rabbit satay are very delicious. My girlfriend loves its
cheesy chicken chop. She loves it more when I pay for her food.

Next, the food court is big. It has a big parking space. There are many tables and
chairs. Their service is tiptop. We do not have to wait for a long time to get our foods.
Furthermore, Purnama Food Court is where I first met my girlfriend. It is a place we always
go for dating and fall in love.

Surely, I recommend Purnama Food Court to my friends. I suggest they should have
dinner with their girlfriends too. Every Saturday night, they have a live band show. A group
of teenagers will perform live. They always sing romantic love songs. My girlfriend loves it
so much. In addition, its durian burger is so viral. Everybody must try it. The foods and
service at the food court are the best!

Sample Answer

Have you watched _______(title)________? ________(title)___________ is an

interesting _______(what are you reviewing)_______ directed by ___________.
_____(title)_______ is about a teenage boy, ___________ who is Spider-Man. He
seeks help from Doctor Strange to use his magic so that everyone will forget who is Spider-
Man.

Personally, I feel that Spider-Man: No way home is a good movie that we can watch
with our family. Firstly,
those people try to be strong to face their big and difficult tests of life. We can learn to
be thankful. I thank god because I do not have to face heavy challenges like those people.

Everybody should watch this programme. The television programme is for all. Parents
should watch it. Children and teenagers should watch Bersama Mu too. Bersama Mu can
make them to be better individuals. They can learn to be patient. Next, they can learn to be
responsible. They can surely learn that there are people who are very poor who always need
help. We must always do what we can to help them.

To conclude, ______(title) is a very good movie. For those who haven’t watch , go
and watch it.

Novel Review
Have you read any novel lately?
Send us your review of the novel.
Explain the good things about the novel.
Who would you recommend the novel to? Why?

Model Answer
Do you like to read textbooks? Do you like to read magazines? Do you like to read
novels? If you can choose, which one do you choose? I choose reading novels. I love to read
novels.
 I just finished reading a Malay novel. The title of the novel is Pelangi Kejayaan or
Rainbow of Success. The author is Meor Hasnan. The novel has 122 pages. The publisher is
Kenanga Publishing. It is a new novel.

I like Pelangi Kejayaan a lot. First, the story is very good. The story is about a
teenager, Naim who lives in a village. Naim has to face many challenges but he works hard.
He works hard to achieve his success. Next, the novel teaches me good lessons. I learn about
determination. We must not easily give up when we face challenges. I also learn we must be
kind to other people.

I also like the novel because it is not too long. It only has 122 pages. I can finish
reading the novel fast. My friend Badri reads the novel in two hours. Besides, it is cheap. It is
only RM5.00. I think everybody can buy the novel. Moreover, I like the cover too. The cover
is very colourful. There are many colours like the rainbow.

I recommend the novel to all teenagers. I know they have money to buy the novel.
The story is interesting. The story teaches many lessons about life. Furthermore, they just
need a short time to read the novel.

In conclusion, I give the novel five stars. I love it so much!
