with my friends. We watched a film entitled Avatar. This is an interesting science-
fiction film. Then, we had a game of bowling. I love bowling very much. I enjoyed
myself as I saw an interesting film and won the bowling game. I think it is
important for teenagers to go to the mall as it helps them to relax by doing what
they like such as seeing films, window shopping or simply catching up with friends
in a cosy 舒适 café. Lastly, it is a good activity to improve their relationships with
friends or family members.

some cacti for my mother as she loves cacti. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as the
weather was perfect and the steamboat was yummy. We even sipped some freshly
brewed 冲泡 tea and ate some creamy cheesecake, enjoyed a scenic view of the tea
plantation at a tea shop. In my opinion, vacations are important for everyone, including
teenagers, as it helps to relieve stress.
Practice 3
Sample Answer:
I’d like to talk about the public bus. I often see people take the bus. They usually wait at a
bus stop and after some time, the bus arrives to pick them up. It is very cheap to ride the
bus. For example, my friends have told me that the bus fare 巴士费 from the school to their
homes only costs one or two ringgit. I do not have any personal experience taking the bus
because my parents always send me to school and pick me up. They think this is a better
arrangement to ensure 确保 my safety, especially since they also have to pick up my little
sister, who is not old enough to take public transport. I do think that public transport is very
important for Malaysians because it is the most convenient and affordable mode of
transport for people to travel to school or work.
Practice 4
Sample Answer:
I’d like to talk about the smartphone. Almost everyone I know has a smartphone. A
smartphone nowadays is more than just a gadget that makes and receives calls, it is a tool for
our own education. More and more classes are being conducted 进行 online since the Covid-
19 pandemic, so having a smartphone allows us to stay connected with our teachers and
keep learning even though we are at home. The smartphone is very cool because it has many
functions such as connectivity to the world wide web and social media. Most students like me
also use smartphone for entertainment, like playing games. When this gadget is used
properly, it can improve the quality of our lives and heighten our knowledge. In my opinion, I
think that everyone should own a smartphone. However, I know many are struggling 挣扎 to
make ends meet 维 持 生 计 now, so a phone for every member of the family might be
burdened. Young children may need to take turns to use the family smartphone.

not?) to the community?
Sample Answer:
I’d like to talk about football. Most of my schoolmates are crazy about football, just like me. It
is very popular with my schoolmates because more people get involved in the game of
football. We play every chance we get, even when there’s rain if the rain is not too heavy. All
you need is a field, the football and of course, shoes with studs or other shoes that are
suitable for football. I like playing football because it is a great way to make friends and build
team spirit! Apart from that, football is also a fun way for us to get moving and keep fit. I have
敏捷 improve after playing football. I feel that sporting events
