Dear Indra,
How are you? I hope you are fine. My family and I are doing just fine.
My school celebrated Teachers Day last week. Activities on that day
started at 7.30 a.m. First we had an assembly in the school hall. The principal
and all the teachers were seated on a colourful and nicely decorated stage.
The school principal gave a speech. He reminded students to study
hard and develop good qualities. This is our way of showing our appreciation to
our teachers for their hard work. At the end of the speech, we clapped loudly to
show our appreciation to our teachers.
Then the Head Prefect delivered a speech. He thanked the teachers for
their endurance and compassion all this while. He also recited a poem entitled
KASIH GURU. This was followed by our class parties. At the parties, we ate
the food that we had brought such as fried noodles, cakes and sandwiches. We
also sang, danced and played indoor games. I enjoyed playing the Musical
Chairs.
After 12 noon, some outdoor games were played. That was the most
exciting event of the day. Teachers and students played various interesting
games like sack race, football, throwing balloons and other relay games. The
students won most of the games. The final event was a concert. Popular songs
were rendered by some students and traditional dances were performed by the
Cultural Club. By then, we were all tired but happy because we had had a
whale of a time that day.
How about the Teachers Day celebration in your school? Do tell me

Dear Ali,
How are you and your family? My family and I are fine in
Kampung Setia. Thank you for your letter. I am sorry for the late reply.
I am writing this letter to inform you about an accident that I
witnessed yesterday afternoon at about 1 p.m. The accident was
between a bus and a car at a junction in Kampung Setia.
I saw the accident when I was going home with my best friend
Amir. A car was knocked down by a bus. The car was badly damaged.
The driver was seriously injured. My friend and I quickly helped the
victims. I pulled out the car driver from his vehicle. He was bleeding
profusely.
Amir then used his mobile phone to call the ambulance and
the police. Within minutes, the ambulance arrived and took the victims
to the hospital. The police arrived and directed the traffic. Later, my
friend and I went home. I told my parents about the accident and they
were very proud of me. We were happy for helping the accident
victims.

How To Save The Environment
There are many ways that we can do to save the environment.
We must work hand in hand in order to achieve our objective above.
First of all, we should save water. (Body A) Instead of using a
hose, we should use a pail to wash cars. We can use collected rain
water to water plants or carry out other household chores. Next, it is
advisable to turn off the tap after using it.
Apart from that, we have to save energy. (Body B) For example,
we should switch off the electrical appliances when we are not
using them. Other than that we should not watch television until late
at night to save electricity. We can also purchase energy saving
bulbs.
Last but not least, we must protect the air. ( Body C ) One of the
ways is by car pooling. When we share our vehicles, we can reduce air
pollution. Moreover we should always use public transport such as
buses and taxis to go to our places of work. The relevant authorities
should impose fines on factories which pollute the environment.

Sample Answer:
Turning Over a New Leaf
Samad was a 15-year-old boy. Although he would be sitting for his
PMR examination in a few months, he was not focusing on his preparation.
He often played truant, preferring to spend his time at video arcades and
sometimes at karaoke lounges. He keeps company of misbehaved
students like him.
Thus, it was not surprising that Samad failed his PMR examination.
Soon his friends persuaded him to sell illegal DVDs along a busy street.
One day, when he was selling DVDs, there was a police raid. He managed
to escape. It was a close shave. However, he was not scared. He
continued to break the law by selling the DVDs.
He carried on his illegal trade until he was caught red-handed on the
same street later. He was jailed for three months and fined RM5,000 for
breaking the law.
After completing his jail sentence, he was released. He regretted his
actions and vowed not to do it again. He promised his parents not to commit
offences anymore but to change to a better person. Since then, Samad

SAMPLE ANSWER:
Good morning to the principal, teachers and my fellow students. I am
the president of the Junior Environment Club of our school and I have been
invited to give a speech on how to keep our school clean.
First and foremost, we should keep our classrooms clean. We must
sweep our classrooms every day and always keep our waste paper
baskets empty. We must also remember to wipe the windows daily. We
should not litter everywhere in our classrooms. Rubbish must be thrown
into waste paper baskets. We should not let rubbish overflow the waste
paper baskets as it will be an eyesore.
In addition we must remember to flush toilets after using them. It is
very unhealthy to leave toilets not flushed as they will emit a stench. We
must not throw objects into toilet bowls. This will cause the toilet bowls
to clog. We should also keep the sinks clean by not throwing tissues
and rubbish into them. After all, we are the ones who use the toilets so
we should not dirty them.
Introduction
Besides this, we should also put all used plates and glasses in
proper places such as in basins provided in the canteen. We should not
leave food scraps everywhere as it will attract flies. Moreover used
plates and glasses should not be left on the canteen tables. In this way
we can help to keep the canteen clean.
That is all I have to say this morning. I hope that all of you will
cooperate and keep our beloved school clean. Thank you.

ANSWERING TECHNIQUES FOR SUMMARY (PMR 2005):
PAPER 2: SECTION B [30 minutes]
Read the passage below and answer the question that follows:
Although people generally say that television is bad for children, research has
proven otherwise.
It has been found that TV is an interactive tool that encourages children to
develop their social and communicative skills. By watching TV, they are more
carefree, open and find it easy to communicate with others.
TV also helps them develop their English Language skills through programmes
like Sesame Street and Playhouse Disney. It is no secret that their listening abilities
are enhanced as well as their speaking and grammar skills.
Ultimately, TV also provides them a cheap avenue to first-class knowledge
through channels like National Geographic, Discovery, Animal Planet, TV IQ and the
various other educational mediums available.
Clearly, TV has plenty to offer to our children. It is a waste if parents
misunderstand the wealth that TV provides to their children and prevent them from
watching it on the excuse that it spoils them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PRACTICE 2:Read the passage below and answer the question that follows:
Hello. How are you? Good morning, Have you eaten yet? Where are you
going? These are greetings which people use when they meet each other. These
are common greetings used by people.
A greeting is a way of being friendly to someone. It is not necessary to
describe your true condition or feeling. In fact, people reply to the questions with a
fixed expression such as Im fine, thanks or Im very well. It is a way of being
polite where you address them when you meet them unexpectedly. It is also a way
of starting a conversation. People usually nod their head or just smile when they do
not intend to start a conversation.
Usually a question is used as a greeting: Where are you going? Hows
everything with you? But questions like these are not real questions. They do not
require a full answer or even a true one.
A greeting is usually followed by small talk. Small talk means the little things
we talk about at the start of a conversation. People often talk about suitable topics
for small talks such as the weather as it is a safe topic compared to religion or
politics. Thus, this makes meeting people easier and more comfortable.

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows:
campsite should be away from trails and dead trees. Avoid slopes, high ridges and wet sites. Do
not choose campsites that are below flood level or are highly frequented by wildlife. Set up camp
as early as possible and familiarize yourself with the surroundings. This helps to prevent injuries
from moving about in the dark at night. Make sure that you bring enough food to last the trip. The
food can be fresh, dried or canned. Avoid bringing any food with a strong smell.
You will need at least two litres of water per person per day. Use water from a natural
source such as a spring. Make sure all water is boiled to eliminate bacteria and contamination.
Build your fire away from the tent. Do not cook inside the tent, even if you are using a gas
canister. Never burn rubbish, especially plastic, as the fumes are toxic. Make sure the fire is
completely put out before you break camp.
Do remember your camp etiquette. The campsite is part of nature. In areas of sensitive
environments, vegetation takes a long time to recover, so no holes should be dug around there at
all.
Write a summary on the rules of camping.
Your summary must :
not be more than 60 words, including the 10 words given below.
