Subject : Mother’s Day Time : 8.30 p.m.

Hi Nuraini,How was Mother’s Day? What did you do for your mother? As for me, my family and I

had a special celebration yesterday..

My sisters and I cooked Mama’s favourite dish, chicken soup. We found a splendid recipe from a website and decided to try it. It turned out to be delicious. Mama loved it very much. Papa and my brother, Hakim, purchased a tiramisu cake with a special note of love written on it.

A couple of days before the event, Papa brought us to the shopping mall to get Mama a gift. Although the others wanted to give her a branded leather handbag, I thought that a pink pearl necklace would be a more suitable gift for her. She could wear it with her new maroon baju kurung. I was outnumbered.

So, on that special day, we sat around Mama in the living room. Hakim presented her with a bouquet of roses and recited a poem that he had composed for her. I gave her the handbag and said that it was from all of us. Mama smiled and thanked us for everything. What a wonderful day for Mama! I would like to hear about your Mother’s Day celebration. Till then, bye.

Best regards,Ainun.

Question 22Read the letter below and answer the questions that follow.

Dear Siti,

Nice to hear from you. How are you? I really hope you are doing well. Right now I am busy doing revision for my UPSR trial exam. The exam is just around the corner.

I received your letter two weeks ago. You mentioned your financial problems in your letter. I do understand that living expenses in Johor can be higher than any other places.

Well, last month my teacher talked about money and she gave some tips on how to manage it. She said we must set a budget first. According to her, this is a good habit to control our cash flow. It will help us to spend our money wisely. Besides that, we must not over spend our pocket money.

Other than that, we must know how to differentiate between what we need and what we want. Please avoid from shopping at malls which are generally more expensive. Just shop at a night market or any mini market and you can save a lot.

Last but not least, she said by managing our money well, we will be disciplined and will not borrow money.

I hope these tips are useful and will help to solve your problems. Bye for now and take care.

Your friend, Salina
