Two sisters and the cat

Sarah and Alice are sisters.

Sarah lives in a house in Kuala Lumpur

and Alice lives in a condominium in

Shah Alam. One day Sarah visited her

sister. When her sister answered the

door, Sarah saw tears in her eyes.

"What's the matter?" she asked. Alice

said "My cat Comel died last night and I

have no place to bury him".

She began to cry again.

Sarah was very sad because she knew

her sister loved the cat very much.

Suddenly Sarah said "I can bury your cat

in my garden in Kuala Lumpur and you

can come and visit him sometimes."

Alice stopped crying and the two sisters

had tea together and a nice visit.

It was now five o'clock and Sarah said it

was time for her to go home. She put on

her hat, coat and gloves and Alice put

the dead Comel into a shopping bag.

Sarah took the shopping bag and

walked to the bus stop. She waited a

long time for the bus so she bought a

newspaper. When the bus arrived, she

got on the bus, sat down and put the

shopping bag on the floor beside her

feet. She then began to read the

newspaper. When the bus arrived at her

bus stop, she got off the bus and

walked for about two minutes. Suddenly

she remembered she had left the

shopping bag on the bus.

Read this article silently.

The boy in the picture thinks a lot about food. However, he is thinking only of food that contains

a lot of fat and carbohydrates. If he eats only these groups of food, his meals would not be balanced.

We should eat balanced meals. A balanced meal has five groups of food. They are fat,

carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Fat can be found in butter, nuts and fried food. Food

rich in carbohydrates are rice, potatoes, bread and noodles. Proteins are found in meat, fish, chicken

and beans. Fruits, vegetables and nuts give us a lot of vitamins and minerals.

The five groups of food help us in different ways. Fat and carbohydrates give us energy. Proteinsbuild and repair our tissues such as muscles. Vitamins and minerals improve our health. They also

protect us from many diseases.

Use your dictionary to find the meaning of the words listed below.

1. Contains - _____________________________________________

Last weekend, there was heavy rain in Kampung Delima and the village was flooded. The flood

victims were moved temporarily to the village community hall. Yesterday, the 15 th November, I joined

the girl guides and the boy scouts from my school to help the flood victims.

Firstly, we distributed the food and drinking water to the victims. Each family received three

cans of sardine, a packet of rice, five packets of instant noodles and a few bottles of drinking water. We

also gave them clothes, towels and sleeping mats that were donated by the Parent Teacher Association

of our school.

Then, we helped to clean the hall. Some of us swept and mopped the floor. Later, we collected

the rubbish around the hall compound. We also cleaned the toilets and wiped the windows.

In the evening, we helped to take care of the children because their mothers were busy

cooking. Eddie and Chee Kiat told interesting stories to entertain the children. The children really

enjoyed listening to the stories. Later, we all sang some songs.

At the end of the day, we were glad that we had the chance to help the flood victims. If given a

chance, we would definitely volunteer to help those in need.

Begin your summary as follows

We can do several simple things in order to have

People nowadays generally have better health and better teeth compared with people a

generation ago. Most of our grandparents use false teeth. This situation is largely due to

poor nutrition in days of long ago. A lack of awareness on how to and why it is important to

maintain healthy teeth and gums also contributed to the situation.

Today we are luckier. We have nutritious food to eat. Foods that are rich in calcium

and phosphorous, such as milk and cheese, help us to have strong and healthy teeth. There

are also many products that help us keep our teeth clean. These are toothpaste,

toothbrushes, mouthwash and dental floss. When our teeth are clean, microorganism

cannot act to weaken the teeth nor can they cause gum disease. Our teeth will not decay.

There are many things we can do to ensure we have good teeth and gums. Start by

eating the right foods. Avoid sweet or sugary foods and adopt healthy practices like brushing

and flossing regularly.
