Dear Maria,
How are you? Are you busy preparing for your monthly tests? I know you do not like
tests, but they help you to be more prepared for your UPSR. I know you always score good
marks.
Next week, my uncle and aunt are coming to visit us. They will keep me busy. My
aunt enjoys cooking, but she always asks me to help her in the kitchen. I do not like washing
the dishes because I often break them.
I will have no chance to watch my favourite programmes on television, too. My uncle
likes to watch sports programmes, but I prefer cartoons. To keep me away from the
television, he buys me magazines. Most of them are about education. I prefer magazines
about famous people.
I would like to write to Zurina and Ranjini. Can you get the addresses for me, please?
I have written to Mei Ling, Tina and Sarah too, but they have not send me even a postcard
since I moved to my new school.
Thats all for now. Hope to hear from you soon.

Cleanliness is very important when we handle food. There are many ways to ensure
that the food we prepare is clean and healthy to eat.
First, we must wash all fruits and vegetables carefully before eating or cooking. We
must never eat unwashed apples and oranges or unwashed beans and carrots. The reason is
they may still contain pesticides which may harm us.
Not only must we wash all pots and pans but also dishes, forks and spoons. We must
use clean water and soap to do this. Clearly, this will help remove all germs and bacteria.
Personal cleanliness is also very important. Make sure that your hair is covered before
you begin to cook. Always wash your hands with soap and water before you prepare or serve
food.

THE LINKING TECHNIQUE APPROACH
What is Linking Technique approach?
Linking technique approach is where the pupils are to write other corresponding
sentences to the sentence they wrote before. Here, the use of WH-Questions tag
plays important role to brainstorm and generate ideas of what to write. Pupils
are also not bound to the only words given to help them write. However, this
technique is used solely to help pupils to write something if they are short on
ideas.

EXERCISE 7 ANSWER
The female frog lays many eggs in static water or water that does not flow. They will usually
hatch six to twenty-one days after being fertilised. After hatching from the egg, the tadpole
will feed on the remaining yolk. The young tadpole only has gills, a mouth and tail. It will
first stick itself to floating weeds or grasses in the water. Then, seven to ten days after the
tadpole has hatched, it will swim around and feed on algae. By twelve weeks, the tadpole
only has a small tail. It looks more like a frog. The frog will be fully grown between twelve

Bamboo plants can be found in forests. They have many uses. They can be used to make
bridges, rafts and water pipes. Farmers use bamboo to make stakes for their vegetables to
climb on as they grow bigger. We can also use bamboo as food or to cook food. Certain

used to make oil. Coconut milk is used for cooking and baking. The fresh coconut drink is

EXERCISE 11 ANSWER
Corals are like plants, they are living things. Coral reefs grow best in warm water. It is
possible for soft corals to grow in places with warmer or colder water, but growth rates in
these types of conditions are very slow. Corals need clear and shallow water to live. It is
because lots of sunlight filters through to their algae. Corals also need salt water to
survive. Other factors influencing coral distribution are the hard-bottom sea surface. Food
such as plankton and algae feeds these corals. The presence of species that help control
macro algae, like urchins and herbivorous fish help provided the food.
EXERCISE 12 ANSWER
Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do. Healthy

of developing tooth decay, gum disease and other dental problems.
EXERCISE 13 ANSWER
Nomads are people who change their place of stay all the time. In the North African deserts,
nomadic tribes of people called Bedouins are found. They rear herds of camels and goats.
However there is so little grass in the desert that they always have to move around to look for
food for their animals. To make moving easy, they live in simple tents. In Central Asia,
people in Mongolia are also nomads. They move from pasture to pasture with their flock of
horses, goats and yaks. Their homes are large and round tents called yurts.
EXERCISE 15 ANSWER
We use water in our daily lives. Besides using water for drinking, we also use water for
bathing, washing and watering the plants. Plants need water to grow and produce food.
The green substance called chlorophyll also helps the plants to produce their own food.

means of transportation. People used rafts, boats, canoes and ferries to travel on water to
fulfil their needs.

Canning is one way to store food for long periods of time. In the canning process, the food is
boiled in the can and bacteria are killed or new bacteria prevented from forming. Now, the

enter and start attacking the food. The opened can now has to be refrigerated to slow down
