A very good morning to our respected principal,teachers and my fellow friends.

I am
very honoured to be given this opportunity to stand before you to give a speech on this
wonderful morning.Today,I am going to give a speech on making use of empty bottles
as decorative items.

First and foremost,the benefits of employing empty bottles is that it lives up to the
3Rs concept which includes recycle,reuse and reduce.These 3Rs is very important as it
can reduce the rubbish besides save us some money.You can either sell the recyclables
to the recycling centre or utilise them to make other things.This is very important to
reduce the rubbish and helps the government to save money for dealing with the
rubbish.It is like killing two birds with one stone.

Through making use of empty bottles,one can be very creative and make use of the
used items into useful works of art.This will improve one's creativity and sharpen the
right side of the brain.This is what we usually do during our every meeting.One can
show off his or her creativity by doing so.

Besides that,you can employ the empty bottles by painting and designing them into
useful things.This will be more attractive than plain empty bottles.You can make the
empty bottles into useful households like candle holder,paperweight and flower
holder.You can save some money by crafting the empty bottles into these things
instead of buying them.Indirectly,this will make you be thrifty.

In addition to this,you can make use of the empty bottles as gifts for your family
and pals.Your family and friends will definitely love to see your own handicrafts.We
can present your friends and family with your own handmade things during their
birthday,any celebration or family gathering.They will never refuse to receive your
handicrafts or say you are a penny-pinching person.This will show your affection to
them besides benefits them.

Last but not least,these reused empty bottles can be sold for charity.You might
know that our school is holding a school building fund recently and this will be useful
for the fund.We had gathered all the handicrafts that are made from empty bottles by
the Art Society's members.We can play our role in helping the school to rebuild our
school.

Before ending my speech,I would like to request your cooperation to succeed the
school building fund.Thank you for lending me your ears.

A Holiday in Cameron Highlands

During last weekend,my parents decided to take us to Cameron Highlands.In the
morning,we packed our clothes and loaded them into my father's car.We hit the road at 7 a.m.
in my father's Suzuki Swift.

The road to Cameron Highlands was crooked and my mother was a bit lightheaded.The
road was filled with fog.The scenery along the road was eye pleasing.We chit-chatted along
the way.After a five hours drive,we arrived at our destination.Cameron Highland has cool
mountain air.Although our country is facing haze problem now,the air there was still free
from pollution.It is a form escapism from all the hustle and bustle of the city life - translating
into another dimension of peace and serenity.

First,we visited to the bee farm.We could see bees flying freely and pollinating.We could
purchased some pure honey and honey products sold there.At first,I was scared to see the
bees flying freely as I thought it would sting us but soon I realised that they wouldn't sting us
if we didn't disturb them.Then,we moved to our second location.

Our second location was the Boh Tea Plantation.The teas were planted on terraced hill
slopes.We also did not miss the chance to take some screenshots there.We also saw a
waterfall there.The sound of water cascading from the top of the mountain was soothing to
our ears and nerves.We were mesmerised by the crystal clear water.Our warm bodies chilled
when the cold mountain water caressed our body.As we were enjoying the waterfall,it started
to rain and we dashed to find a spot to take shelter.

After the heavy downpour,we decided to stop at one of the many strawberry parks in
Cameron Highlands.Before leaving the tea plantation,we made sure to buy some fresh tea.We
decided to visit the Big Red Strawberry Farm.A lot of strawberries were cultivated
there.Salad and lettuce plants are also planted there.We had our tea time there.We bought
some strawberries and souvenirs to take back home.

As the sun slowly set under the horizon,we knew it was time to say goodbye to this
awesome place.We had a whale of a time in Cameron Highlands and we truly enjoyed
ourselves.

Amy was a very honest and well-mannered girl.She got along very well with her classmates
but an unfortunate event occurred in her life.During last Friday,Amy and the other girls
attended netball practise in their school.All the players left their belongings in the empty
room.This what they usually do during the practise.

After practising for about thirty minutes,the girls were exhausted and decided to take a
break.During the break,Amy volunteered to get the water bottles to quench their
thirst.Everyone agreed with her opinion.She went to the class and brought them their water
bottles.After the break,they continued their practice.

After the netball practice,all of the girls returned to their class.Anis found out that her
phone is missing from her bag.Without hesitation,she said that Amy stole her handphone.She
accused Amy of stealing it.

Amy was quite shocked after hearing that.She denied that she did not steal Anis's
handphone.Anis's rude action drove her up the wall.All her classmates had turn against her
and her explanation fall on deaf ear to Anis.At that moment,she lost everyone's trust.She left
the classroom crying.She was sad with Anis's words.

The next day,Anis came to Amy and apologised for being so rude to her.She really
regretted with her clumsy action.Amy became speechless after hearing her
apology.Actually,Anis left her phone at home.Amy accepted Anis's apology but the
accusation put a strain on their friendship.
KAMPUNG HULU-9 Nov, A wooden house in KampungHulu has caught fire in
the yesterday early morning. At about , the fire brigade received a call from a 30-year-
old lady.She was panicked as she couldn'tcould not find locate ways to exit out from
the house.After 10 minutes, the fire engine arrived at the scene.The They quickly took
out the hose and put out the fire.
After putting extinguishing out the fire, the firemen break broke into the house to
save the lady.The firemen found out that one of the lady's children were burnt had
perished in the fire. The lady who called the fire brigade was found fainted due
to the lack of oxygen. Luckily, she regained to consciousness after receiving treatment
at the hospital. She was quite shocked and cried after hearing that one of her children
had died.
Based on her statement, the fire is was due to her carelessness. She had put the
match box at a reachable place to that her children were able to reach. Her five-year-
old son who got curios when seeing the match box and started to play with it the
matches. He lit up a match stick and threw it on the floor. The flame from the match
stick quickly spread out. His mother who was cooking in kitchen also didn't did
not think something was amiss.
Out of nowhere,she heard the screams of her child and ran towards the
room. The fire spread quickly and the whole house was caught on fire. As the saying
goes,curiosity killed the cat. During his naivety, he the boys action costs his own
life. She stopped crying after hearing that her another other child was alive as
there iswas no use to cry over spilt milk.
As the saying goes, fire is a good servant but a bad master. The fire
brigade officers advised the public to be more careful in the future.We should place
the match box at place which is could not be reachable to by children. We should also
place a fire extinguisher in our house.We should also always put an eye on the
children.Last but not least, put child-lock on the stove (note :not logical to put child-
lock on the stove, perhaps install childs safety gate at the kitchen doorway).

Dear Andrew,

How are you getting on?I am in the pink of health.It has been ages since I last sent the last time I
sent you letter.In your previous letter,you asked me to describe how my family celebrated
Deepavali.My family and I celebrated Deepavali last Sunday.
We were as busy as bees before Deepavali to prepare for Deepavali.We cooperated to clean
and decorate our house. My sister volunteered to decorate our house with 'rangoli'.A night before
Deepavali,we lighted our house with oil lamps. That is why Deepavali is known as Festival of Light.
We woke up early in the morning and we had oil bath. Then,we wore our Indian cultural
dresses.My
father and I wore dhoti while my mother and sisters wore saree.My parents blessed us on that
morning. We went to temple. After that,my mother cooked 'thosai' for us.We ate our breakfast
together.
Then,we visited my grandparents.We brought along some traditional food to them.We had our
lunch there. My grandmother cooked a lot of mouth-watering delicacies.The meal was served on
banana leaf. At night,my parents held open-house.We invited our neighbours.My mother
cooked briyani for them.They also tried our traditional
food.At night,we also played firecrackers and fireworks.
Malaysia is well-known as a multicultural country.There are three main ethnics in Malaysia which
are Malay, Chinese and Indian. Another festival celebrated in Malaysia is Chinese New Year.Chinese
New Year is celebrated by all Chinese. On that day,elderly people give angpau or red packet to their
children.There is also lion dance performed on that day.
I will pen off now. Hope to hear from you soon.

The Manager,
New Chemical Factory,
69498,Jalan Landasan,
41300 Klang,
Selangor Darul Ehsan. 15 DECEMBER 2015

Sir,

River Pollution

On behalf of Jalan Landasan residents, I would like to lodge a complaint about your company for
creating pollution problems. It has been two weeks since New Chemical Factory was built in our
neighbourhood and it brings a lot of environmental problems to us.

2. We were living harmoniously at Jalan Landasan before the New Chemical Factory was built. Many
youngsters in our neighbourhood often go to the stream which is a stone's throw away from our
housing area to swim and fish. Some of our residents rely on fishing as their side income and now
they are suffering from economic hardship.

3. The problems started since the New Chemical Factory was built. The mud and silt from the
construction area flowed into the river when it was raining. This slowed down the swift of the river
water and turn the river into muddy and shallower.

4. The New Chemical Factory released toxic into the stream and polluted it. The toxic killed the fish
and other animals that drinks the river water. This causes unbalancing to the ecosystem. As a
result,we cannot fish and swim anymore in the river. The decaying of the dead matter also emit a foul
odour.

5. We greatly hope you can take severe actions on your irresponsible workers. The stream still can
be saved if you can cooperate with us and we hope this problem could be solved as soon as possible
so that it does not affect tranquility and harmony of our neighbourhood. We will have to complain to
the authority if this problem persists.

Yours faithfully,
Sathya
