SUGGESTED ANSWERS FOR QUESTION 2b

Activity 1 I would choose the Menara Condong because
this building is unique. It is leaning and it is the only one in
Malaysia. I want to tell my pen-pal something he has not
heard about in our country. It is also near Pasir Salak, a
famous town in Perak. These are the reasons why I choose
Menara Condong.
I would choose the Kuching Statue in Sarawak because
it is a symbolic landmark in Malaysia, especially in
Sarawak. As a matter of fact, this city is named so because
there were once many cats in the city. My pen-pal will
definitely be delighted when we visit the Kuching
Waterfront where many types of shows are performed
and exhibitions are help. To get there, we have to take a
flight which is something I have never tried before. My
pen-pal and I will definitely be fascinated by the view of
Sarawak and Borneo in the air. We will get the chance to
travel to places around Kuching in boats or water-taxies,
like what the tourists call them. With hotels and shopping
malls within the city, both of us are sure to have a
splendid time in Kuching. From my reasons above, I
think I will choose Kuching to describe to him.
Activity 2 I would choose to prepare a scrapbook on
Rafflesia because I can get all the information and pictures
about this flower from the internet. I need not travel to
Borneo to take pictures on them. I can also write about its
uses for many diseases. So, I will choose Rafflesia.
I would choose to prepare a scrapbook on the wild
orchid because orchids are my favourite flowers. If
anyone comes to my garden, they would think my family
members are orchid planters. Everyone at home loves
orchids, so I can easily acquire knowledge about this
unique wild orchid from them. My mother subscribes
monthly magazines about orchids. So, I dont lack
materials to read or dig for information for my
scrapbook. My aunt lives in Frasers Hill and we visit her
quite often. I can collect more orchids there and write
more about them. What I like most is the sweet smell it
permeates besides its colours and uses for landscaping.

Besides that, my Science teachers favourite flower is also

orchid. She will be thoroughly wild with delight when she
checks my scrapbook. As I have reasoned above, without
doubt, wild orchid is my choice.
Activity 3 I would like to take part in the kite-flying
competition because I enjoy flying kites. I have been flying
kites since I was eight years old. The entry fee is also the
cheapest. It is very near to town. So, I can walk there. I think
this is the most suitable event for me.
I would like to take part in the fishing competition
because my hobby is fishing. Azuans fishing centre is
barely 50 metres from my mothers shop. She does
business on Saturdays, so sending me there isnt a
problem. It may be slightly far from town, but it is quiet
and peaceful. I like quietness while I am fishing. The
winners will get cash and trophy. I can use the cash to buy
a new fishing rod if I win. Although the fee might be more
than the fee for kite-flying, I do not mind paying more for
things I enjoy indulging in. So, from what I have stated
above, I would surely choose fishing.
Activity 4 I would choose Melaka because many of my
classmates have not been to a padi field before. We want to
see what it is like. We also want to know how the food we are
eating everyday is processed. The fee is quite moderate, only
RM25. We can also see the animals at Zoo Melaka. This zoo
has the most types of animals. If we choose this trip, all of us
will get a free T-shirt. So, we will choose Melaka.
I would choose Pahang because we can visit Taman
Negara. This national park hosts a variety of flora and
fauna species which we can never see in any other part of
the country. Besides that, we can also see all the exotic
plants, birds, insects and animals dwelling in this wild
natural forest with our own eyes. The fee is only RM20
which is very affordable for my classmates as many of
them are not from well-to-do families. We will be
traveling in our school bus and so, the RM20 includes
food. Fishing is included as one of the activities. Thus,
those classmates of mine who like fishing will have some
wonderful time fishing in the clean and unpolluted rivers
there. Well, as what I have reasoned above, Pahang is the
best choice for me and my classmates.
Activity 5 I would suggest to my father to buy the necklace
because it is the cheapest among the three items. My father is
just an average income earner. The beads necklace suits my
mother because she is scared of wearing expensive
ornaments. Thieves or robbers would not want it. Habibi
Jewels is near our house. If my father buys this, he can also
get a free brooch for her. So, he is giving her a two-in-one
gift.
I would suggest to my father to buy the gold ring
because Sri Emas Superstore is just nearby. We can just
pop by anytime when my father comes back from work.
My mother marvels at things with a heart shape and this
ring has a heart-shaped gem. In addition to her liking for
this shape, a heart also symbolizes love. My mother will
surely be enchanted and proud of him if he gets this ring
for her. RM200 is a fair deal as gold is rather expensive
nowadays. My mother can also get a purse for free as her
present one which she uses for marketing is old and wornout. Lastly, giving her a ring will remind her of him

proposing to her romantically twenty years ago. My

mother will surely be proud and happy. So, from all my
reasons above, I would definitely ask my father to buy the
gold ring for her.
Activity 6 I would choose the bus because I can travel
with my friends and schoolmates. Traveling in a group is
safer. It is also cheaper than the taxi fare. Another reason is
that I will reach school before 7.00 a.m. It may make many
stops but it departs at 6.30 a.m. So, I can always be punctual
for school.
I would choose the bicycle because it is more
economical. We have two bicycles at home. My brothers
are studying in the varsities and they dont use them
anymore. It is my turn to use them. Besides that, I like to
travel alone to school. I dont like the noises in the bus or
the chatting in the taxi. As a matter of fact, I need not
spend any money on the bicycle as both the bicycles at
home are still new. If I cycle to school, I need not stop,
except at a junction or two. There will be no traffic jams
for me. I can start from home anytime. So, if I cycle to
school at 6.30 a.m., I can still reach school by 7.00 a.m. I
would have helped my father to save RM500 to RM600 of
taxi fare if I opt to cycle to school. This money can be used
to spend on other household expenses. So, it is bicycle for
me.
Activity 7 I would suggest the hoop because it is the
cheapest. It is only RM30 and it has a 20% discount. This
means she pays only RM24 for it. Besides the low price, she
can get a free pair of socks. The hoop can be used indoor or
outdoor. Balbir Shape-up Centre is just next to her tuition
centre. She can get it easily and fast. Hence, I will surely ask
her to buy the hoop.
I would suggest the skipping rope as it is moderatelyprice. She can use it for her daily work-outs to slim down
and also for strengthening her legs. She plays badminton
and skipping improves footwork in badminton. So, its
killing two birds in one stone. She can conveniently use it
in the porch, garden, hall, her room or even in the park as
it can be rolled up and carried in her hand. It costs only
RM38 and comes with a discount of 10%. She can get it
for around RM34 with a wrist band for free. Sashis
382838-Slim Gadgets is within walking distance from her
school. So, getting there is not a problem. She can also ask
her badminton coach, Mr. Kam, who always patronizes
the shop, to buy it for her. Maybe, he might get it cheaper
for her. So, with all the reasons above, I strongly feel that
the skipping rope is the perfect choice for her.
Activity 8 I would choose the kebaya for her because it
comes in yellow and blue. Both are her favourite colours.
Furthermore, it costs the least among the tree. It is only
RM120. It is made of satin and this material is soft. Fahara
Lukman is a well-known seamstress in Johor. So, my sister
will be very proud to wear her creation. Therefore, I will
surely choose the kebaya for her.
I would choose the salwar kameez for her because she
loves to keep pictures and posters of Hindustani actresses
in this attire. In fact, her favourite actress, Rani
Mukherjee, always wears salwar kameez. So, I am sure
she will like it. Though it may cost a bit more, she would
not mind paying RM180 for it as it comes in three colours

of which one is her favourite white. The material used is

Indian silk which is quite costly. One thing which she will
like most is this salwar kameez is hand-sewn by Balbir
Dixit who is a renowned fashion designer in south
Malaysia. If she chooses salwar kameez, she will get a free
shawl to complement it. Wow! I can really visualize her
being the prima donna at her annual dinner. The teachers
and pupils will surely be gazing at her from head to toes.
From what I have explained above, she will surely agree
to buy the salwar kameez.
Activity 9 I think she would choose Rukman because he
has a lot of experience. Rukman won second place in the
inter-school acting competition last year. Besides that, he
acts, dances and sings well. I am sure my drama teacher will
choose Rukman because of these qualities of his.
I think she would choose Beng Kam because he has
acted the role of a nobleman in Jebat before.
As it is, Beng Kam is tall and handsome, just like the
prince in the story of Cinderella. Rukman is too short
while Shasikaran is too stern. Beng Kam can sing and in
most fables, princes sang and charmed their princesses.
With his loud voice, his speeches would be heard clearly
and the judges in
the contest will be very satisfied. As he had acted as
Jebat before, he will surely know how to act in scenes for
the palace. He hasnt won any prizes yet, but nevertheless,
all the above attributes of his make up for his lack of
experience. I am very confident my drama teacher will
not overlook
Beng Kam and choose Rukman or
Shasikaran instead.
Activity 10 I would choose the Carry B-Smart bag for my
sister because it is lighter than Bestpal which is 2 kg. There
are many side pockets for her to keep her things. She will
surely be happy with the magic padlock. The bag costs RM15
only and she can get a free pencil box and some pencils.
Anyway, my main reason is this bag is made in Malaysia.
I would choose the Light and Light bag for my sister
because she is too young too take a heavy bag to school.
With so many books to bring to school, I want my little
sister to have a lighter bag. In that way, she would not be
tired. Despite it being made in China, this school bag has
a special lock and a high quality zip. Nowadays, China is
producing quality things and this bag costs only RM12.99.
For such a low price, she can also get a free pair of socks
and a key bag. She can give the key bag to my father or
mother to use. I am sure my parents will agree with my
choice as they had also chosen a light school bag for me
once, when I was in Year One. Light and Light is my
choice for my sister.
Activity 11 I would advise her to choose the Bukit Tinggi
Public Library because the annual membership fee is low and
moderately-fixed. It is only RM15. The library is only 100
metres from the bus station. My cousin lives opposite the bus
station. She can easily walk there. Since she likes to read at
home, she can borrow 3 books at a time for three weeks to
read. So, Bukit Tinggi Public Library suits her.
I would advise her to choose the Gambir Park
Library because it is just opposite the bus station. My
cousin lives a stones throw away from the bus station.
The membership fee is affordable and justified. Though it
is higher than the fee for Bukit Tinggi library, she has the

luxury of selecting from 800,000 books. She will have an

enjoyable time reading books there as she is an avid
reader. The library is fully air-conditioned and this is
surely very conducive for reading. This library gives a
benefit unmatched by the other two libraries. Members
can borrow 5 books at a time for a month! A bookworm
like my cousin would truly appreciate this. Hence, for my
cousin, this library is the most ideal.
Activity 12 I would choose the Diamondhead KBH Super
because it is made of graphite. Graphite is light and durable.
It costs RM180 and I think it is fair as graphite-made racquets
are expensive. One feature which I like is the diamond shape.
It is unique. It is available in my favourite colour, maroon.
So, these are the reasons why I choose Diamondhead KBH
Super.
I would choose the Diamondhead KBH Super because
its frame is so uniquely shaped. The shape really
fascinates me. Apart from this feature, the price also
catches my attention. Graphite racquets usually cost more
than RM200, but this one is tagged at a fair RM180. It is
available in three striking colours and two of the colours
awed me. As a matter of fact, silver is my favourite.
Despite being not given a discount if I buy this racquet, I
am more concerned about the guarantee of the product.
This racquet comes with a one-year guarantee which is
unprecedented. I havent heard of racquets being given a
guarantee of more than a month or two. So, if there are
defects in this racquet, I can get a new one or get my
money reimbursed. From what I have stated above,
Diamondhead KAM Super is my only choice.
Activity 13
I would choose the Rabbit because it is a cute and
cuddly animal. It is white and furry with beautiful pink eyes.
I am sure it is going to be fun having such a playful and
adorable animal as pet. It is only RM 15.00 per pair. It is not
too expensive and reasonable. I can buy the rabbits from the
Pets World Shop which is just a walking distance from my
grandmothers place. Since the rabbit stays in a hutch so I
need not buy one as I can make use of the old hutch which is
in the storeroom. The rabbit feeds on carrots and leafy
vegetables. I can ask my mother for some vegetables as she
grows some vegetables on a small plot of land behind the
house. I am sure she doesnt mind. As I have reasoned out
above, I think I have made the right choice.
Activity 14
I would suggest the Chrysanthemum because it is
beautiful. Besides, it comes in three attractive colours,
yellow, red and white. The garden will surely look beautiful
with these flowers around. In fact, chrysanthemums are longlasting and would not wilt easily. It needs to be watered twice
a day. It is not a big deal because I always help my mother to
water the plants. Each pot costs RM 4 which I think is
reasonable and my mother can surely afford it. Although, it
needs trimming and to be fertilized, it is not going to be a
problem as my father is good at it and he has all the tools for
it. From all the reasons mentioned above, I have decided that
this is the best choice of flower to be planted in her garden.
Activity 15

I would choose the watch because it is not too

expensive and within my budget. It is only RM 35.00. I have
enough saving to buy it. In fact, if I buy the watch, I will get
a leather wallet with every purchase. It is a great offer. I can
give both the things as gifs to my teacher. Moreover, it has
the latest design and looks attractive. The watch is made of
stainless steel frame with leather strap. I am sure it is going to
be durable. Based on the reasons, I strongly believe that the
watch will be the best gift for my teacher.
Activity 16
I would buy the purse for my grandmother because
she does not have a nice purse. Besides, it is only RM 46.90
and not too expensive. I have saved RM 50 to buy her a gift
so it is within my budget. If I buy the purse, it gives a
voucher worth RM10. I can use the voucher to buy other
necessary thing. As the purse is imported from Indonesia, I
am sure it is going to be of good quality. Leather purse is
usually long-lasting because it is made of good material. The
purse also has many compartments so my grandfather can put
many things in it. It will be useful to her. In fact, the purse
comes in black and brown. I would choose the black one as it
is my grandmothers favourite colour. With all these reasons,
I have made up my mind to buy the purse for my beloved
grandmother.
Activity 17
I would recommend Digital Camera because he
does not have one. I am sure it is going to be useful to him as
he is an outgoing person. In fact, he loves to take pictures of
beautiful scenery. The digital camera is only RM 399. It is
not too expensive and affordable. The payment is through
three monthly installments of RM 133. It is not going to be a
problem to him. Besides, the camera is locally made and I
think we should support our products. Apart from that, it is
branded item. Olympic is a well-known brand and it is
always long-lasting. He will get a memory card of 512 MB if
he buys the camera. It is indeed a good offer. Last but not
least, it is available at Home Appliances Store. There is one
near our place so, he can get it easily from there.
Activity 18
I would buy Sweater A because it is nice. It comes
with stripes so, it looks elegant. It is RM 249 but it has a
discount of 20%. I can buy the sweater for about RM 200
only. It is not too expensive and reasonable. Besides, it is a
product of Switzerland. I prefer to buy imported products to
local ones. My father said that imported products are usually
of good quality and long-lasting. It gives a cap with every
purchase. I think it is a good deal as my brother loves to wear
caps whenever he goes out. Apart from that, free size is just
nice for my brother because he is of medium built. I am sure
he will be comfortable wearing it. Based on the reasons stated
above, I am confident that I have made the right choice.
Activity 19
I would choose Bayu Beach Hotel because it is
located at Bayu Beach, Port Dickson. The room rate of
RM130 is very reasonable as breakfast is provided for 2
adults and 2 children. My father, mother, brother and I can

enjoy the free breakfast. There is a swimming pool and a

tennis court. My mother and I love swimming whereas my
father and brother like playing tennis so we all ca enjoy
ourselves. A free welcome drink and daily newspaper are
provided.
Activity 20
I would choose Genting Waterfalls because of the
cool waterfalls and the beautiful greenery. having a picnic,
we can go swimming, diving and jungle trekking. It would be
fun and exciting. There is a Seafood Restaurant for us to
enjoy our meals. The chalets by the hillside would be nice
and the rates are only RM 120 which is reasonable.

them as they carried and lifted Sasha. Champions!

Champions! they screamed.
Activity 2
Roslan is an orphan. When he was young, he grew up in
an orphanage. The name is Bakti Orphanage. He was very
hardworking when he was there. He helped and did
gardening in the orphanage. His ambition was to be a doctor.
He was diligent and did well in his studies. He got good
results and was awarded a scholarship. He went to the
university and studied hard. He succeeded in becoming a
doctor.
Now, he has opened his own clinic. He gives free
treatment to the orphans and poor people.

Activity 21
I would choose Toy No 3 for my cousin because
