------------------------------------SAMPLE ANSWER
Halim is my pen pal. He studies in the Year 6 Best in SK Cemerlang. Halim enjoys outdoor
activities such as camping and fishing. We share similar hobbies too. Halim is an active and
friendly boy. He is popular in his school and his teachers like him too.
During the last holidays, Halim and his friends went camping together. They were excited and
planned for the trip well. They camped in Bukit Nanas quite far from their school. Halims uncle,
Encik Abdul Rahman accompanied them on the trip. He was an experienced scout so he could look
after the boys well and help them . They brought along tents, torchlights, clothes, cooking
utensils and enough food for three days.
The weather was fine and everyone was in a happy mood. After getting down from Halims uncle
new car, they had to walk through a jungle track to reach their campsite. Each of them had to
carry their own heavy knapsacks on their backs. The air was fresh and they enjoyed walking .
They were happy to get away from the hustle and bustle of their busy town.
Soon they reached their campsite. They saw a beautiful waterfall nearby. The boys pitched
their tents and collected firewood for the campfire at night and cooking. After that, they spent
a lot of time playing in the cool clear water. Encik Abdul Rahman taught them how to make a
fishing rod. Halim and his friends made their own fishing rods from thin branches and twigs.
They had fun trying to catch fish using the fishing rods they had made. They also took turns to
cook their simple meals over a fire.
Besides fishing and swimming, the adventurous boys also went jungle trekking . It was a
challenging activity as the ground was steep and slippery. Although it was tiring, the boys
enjoyed themselves in the jungle. They could see various types of insects and rare birds and
plants. They collected some leaves and pebbles for their Science Corner in their class. At night,
they had a lovely campfire and sang many camping songs , joked and laughed a lot.
Soon, it was time to return home. They had spent three wonderful days in the jungle. Before
leaving their campsite, they made sure that the place was clean. They picked up all the rubbish
and put it in a big plastic bag. Halims uncle made sure that he had put out the fire carefully. He
did not want to cause any forest fires. Then, all of them left the jungle feeling tired but happy.
It was an educational and adventurous experience. When they returned home, they wrote down
their experience in their diaries.
