Traffic education is important for people in the world. Some people don’t
know anything for the traffic signal and traffic light. Traffic light indicates drivers
to slow down when they are go fast. In the busy street, it helps drivers to know
when to stop and when to drive. A passers-by who is walking along the road but
he needs to cross it, the traffic light can helps him. Having a traffic light in a very
busy street is important. It could be an lifesaver for the passer-by and even for
the drivers. It guides the drivers when their need to stop and when they need to
drive. It is a very useful things for us. We all need to learn the proper use of traffic
lights. When it turns red the vehicles stop and people can walk and crosses the
street at that time. Thus, by learning traffic education at least we could reduce the
number of accidents around us.

Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Temple

If you are visiting Johor Bahru, you will not want to miss this interesting Hindu
temple, which is widely called "The Glass Temple." This temple is made of glass. It is
widely regarded as one of the most amazing structures in the world, not just in
Malaysia.To get there, tourists can take a short taxi ride from the Larkin bus station.

It is one of the oldest temples in Johor and started off as a tiny building that was
built in 1922. Later, in 1991, there were large repairs and developments done on the
temple. After five years, the work was finally completed. It was in 1996 when the
temple was opened to the public again.

This unusual piece of architecture is decorated with as many as 300,000 pieces of

white, yellow, red, green, purple, and blue glass on the walls and floors. The left wing
of this temple is made up of two paintings that communicate the ideas of friendship
and peace. One of the pictures shows an Indian girl with a cow, a Chinese girl with a
dog, and a Malay girl holding a cat.

The Glass Temple has a capacity of 1500 people. Tourists are allowed to enter
the temple and are charged RM10 per person. Photography costs an extra RM3. It is
open daily from 10am to 10pm. To visit this temple, people must wear suitable clothes
and remove the shoes. Again, this temple welcomes visitors of all faiths. If you are in
Johor Bahru the next time, consider dropping by to visit this unique temple.

Good morning to all teachers and my friends. Together with the school anti-
smoking programmes, I, as the Head Prefect, would like to give a speech on the topic
“The Disadvantages of smoking and Tips to stop Smoking.”

It seems today that most of the teenagers including some of us here think that
smoking is something common and that it is something that we do not have to worry
about. In fact, there are among us here today who do not realize that they are breaking
the school rules when they do that and they are actually not good for their health.

Allow me to tell you the fact that smoking actually brings so many disadvantages.
Firstly, smoking is not good for your health and can lead to diseases like cancer and
heart problems. You do not want to end your life like that. Besides, it is a waste of
money. Students always use their pocket money to buy cigarettes. Moreover, when
they start smoking, they might have problem in concentrating in their studies.

Here, I would like to share with all of you some tips on how to stop smoking. The
first way on how students can stop smoking is by concentrating their energy to studies.
You should also be in the company of non-smokers as to avoid yourself from being
around with those who smoke.

small amount of money can be a giant if it is saved day by day.

Well, here are a few tips to help you to make your money grow. _____.

parents give you five ringgit per day, then you would have twenty-five ringgit by

would have saved up ten ringgit. You can ask your parents to bank in the money into
your bank account. If not, you can put that ten ringgit into your own piggy bank.

(38)_____. You can do a small business to earn money. There are stories of how
young children use their pocket money to sell lemonade to passers-by. Their starting
cost is only perhaps three ringgit. After minus the cost of cups and the lemons, they
may earn ten to twenty ringgit.

The third tip is to save money by not buying unimportant things. _____. If you
cannot control yourself, you might spend all your pocket money to buy the snacks. It
cannot fill your stomach, and it is not nutritioius. So why should you spend money on
unimportant things?

(40)_____. You may find yourself the need to use money to buy revision books, or to
pay for bus rides. Therefore you should think properly before you spend your money.
