Hi Mei Ling,
A family outing during the weekend is a great idea! I wish to go on a trip too. I think you and
your family should go to the beach. At the beach, there are many activities that you can do. Firstly,
you can go swimming with your siblings. Next, you can also build sandcastles or collect seashells.
Once you are tired from all the excitement, you can have a relaxing picnic with your family. I think
you and your family will have a blast at the beach!

Report on Students' Adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

This is a report on the students of SMK Seri Harum who did not follow the Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP) set by the Ministry of Education. As we all know, one of the most important SOP is
wearing a face mask at all times when in school.

Recently, a survey was carried out by the Prefect Board to see if students are following the SOP. It
was found that some students have not been disposing their used masks properly. Students have
been carelessly leaving their used masks on the ground or in their desk drawers. The situation is
especially bad after recess and right before school ends.

It is important to not simply discard our used masks. Firstly, it pollutes the environment. It is also
very hygienic. If the mask is contaminated, it will expose other people to harmful bacteria and
viruses. Moreover, it troubles the cleaning workers who will have to pick up after these irresponsible
students.

According to the SOP, used masks must be folded and tied with the earloops so that they do not
unravel. Then, they should be wrapped with a layer of tissue paper before they are thrown into the
dustbin. The school should put up posters about this matter around the school. This will remind
students to follow the SOP at all times.

Finally, the Prefect Board will also keep an eye on the students. Anyone who does not follow the SOP
will be directly reported to the Discipline Master. This will ensure that the school remains safe
during the pandemic.

Imported waste
Written by: Norliana

Recycling is the process of turning old unwanted materials into new materials that can be reused.
This way we will use less of the earth's natural resources that are depleting at a fast pace. Many
types of materials can be recycled such as paper, metals, glass and plastic.

However, there is also a downside to recycling. When it is not done correctly; recycling can lead to
pollution. For example, some materials are not suitable to be recycled. These materials are often
burned or buried in the ground. If they are burned, the burning process will release dangerous
chemicals into the air. If they are buried into the ground, they will contaminate the soil.

Apart from that, there is the issue of imported waste. Imported waste is when a country imports
waste from another country for recycling. This is mostly done to earn money from the recycling
process. Malaysia is also involved in the business of imported waste. In 2018, Malaysia imported
more than 1 million tonnes of waste from countries such as the US, the UK and South Korea.

However, much of the waste was imported through illegal means. The recycling factories are
operating without permission from the authorities. In other words, the recycling process is not
monitored. As a result, there is an even bigger chance of air and soil pollution as well as other
environmental damage.

In conclusion, proper waste management and recycling are important for Malaysia to become a truly
well-developed country. This includes the issue of imported waste as we also do not want to become
the rubbish bin of the world

Write your speech.

A very good morning to the principal, teachers and students. The very first Earth Day was celebrated
on 22 April 1970. This day was created by American Senator, Gaylord Nelson, to make people aware
of the importance of keeping our planet healthy and clean. Earth Day is a perfect time to reflect on
what you are doing to help protect the environment. Today, I would like to suggest three simple
activities that we can carry out to save the earth.

The first activity is to learn more about the environment. Earh Day is a good time to make a
commitment to learn more about the environment and how we can help to protect it. Read up on
issues such as pollution, endangered species, water shortages, recycling and climate change.
Alternatively, learn about a region you have never encountered before, like the Arctic, the desert or
the rainforest. Then give a short presentation to your class to share what you have learnt.

The next activity is to cook a special Earth Day meal. Plan a menu that introduces locally produced
food which is healthy and has minimal impact on the environment. Use vegetable and bean products
as these use less resources to grow. If you would like to eat meat, look for locally-produced organic
meat.

Lastly, look into your closets and cupboards, and remove the things that are no longer useful to you.
By giving away your old toys to younger children, you will learn two lessons. One is about giving to
others and the second is about reusing and recycling instead of discarding things. Encourage your
parents to do the same with their clothes, electrical appliances and books.
Every one of us can do something to help the planet on Earth Day. Although our individual efforts
may seem like a drop in the ocean, everything we do to help the planet counts, such as opting to
walk to school or helping to clean up litter from our neighborhood park! Thank you.
