Some examples
Egberth is twelve years old and lives in Kampung Limbahau Papar. He is an obedient and careful boy who always listens to his parents. He also likes to help other people and very polite to elders too. Last Sunday, Egberth’s mother asked him to go to the grocery shop nearby his house to buy some sugar. He walked to the shop as it was just a few blocks from his house. Reaching the shop, he bought a packet of sugar and returned home a few minutes later.
As he was walking home slowly by the side of the road, he saw a boy who was cycling recklessly as he passed by him on the road. As he continued walking, suddenly a bicycle knocked him from behind. It was the same boy he had seen earlier. The boy had lost control of his bicycle while cycling, so he knocked Egberth and they both fell on the road immediately.
Egberth who was carrying the packet of sugar that he bought earlier was thrown together with the sugar onto the ground. When he looked around him, he saw the sugar had spilt on the ground. He then looked at the boy who had also fallen off from his bicycle, shocked of what had happened. The boy apologized to Egberth for what had happened. He promised to Egberth that he will never ride recklessly again and also promised to replace the sugar that had spilt on the ground.
Egberth advised the boy not to play the bicycle on the road again. It was dangerous and one might get hurt if one had an accident like what had just happened. The boy thanked to Egberth and went to the shop to buy the packet of sugar and gave it to Egberth. Then the boy walked home limply with the bicycle because he had hurt his leg.

Farid and his friend brought their nets and plastic bags. They also brought two bottles of mineral water and some sardine sandwiches. Upon reaching the place, they parked their bicycles under a shady tree. Then, they looked for a suitable spot to catch fish.They went to the stream to catch the fish.

Possible answers to practice 1Every year, Azmi’s school will hold the School Sports Day. Each time he will take part in the events. Last Saturday, Azmi’s school held the annual sport’s day. At each corner of the field, there were tents set up by the teachers for the participants to get ready. There were buntings all around the field. There were also flags posted at each tent. There was a large crowd who were standing around the field to give support to their teams.
Before the events started, some of the athletes did their warm-up exercises before they took part in any of the events. Azmi took part in the 100 meters event. When he was called to the starting point, he was so excited but at the same time, he felt nervous. He ran very fast that he won the event.
At the end of the sport’s day, the headmaster gave the trophies to the winners. Azmi was selected as the best athlete in the men’s event because he won more gold medals than the other athletes. He was so proud to represent the school to the next inter school sports events. His effort to keep fit during the training session had indeed given him the motivation to win his favourite event. As the saying goes, ‘make every effort to do something’.
