When we got there, a man showed us where to leave our coats and backpacks. He was very helpful. A special lady guide explained the tour to us. She was very knowledgeable. I learned many new things. For example, I didn't know our solar system was so big. We counted many moons around some of the planets. They seemed endless!

Toward the end of the tour, the guide invited me to visit the planetarium again. I will definitely come back someday. We collected our things and went back to school. I asked my friends to name their favorite planets, and they also had interesting choices. Mine is Saturn because of its many rings. The teacher wants us to do reports on the planets. He suggested we choose one that interests us. I want to report on the planet Saturn, but so does Aquil.

We decided to work together on the report. We want to talk about Titan, one of Saturn's biggest moons. It is a fascinating place. He and I were interested in this moon because Titan is the biggest moon, even bigger than the planet Mercury! It's exciting to work with him, and we hope our report turns out great.

Question 2

Your class has been discussing on lifestyles that can protect the environment. Now, your teacher has asked you to write an essay for homework.

In your essay, you should write about:

•         an environmental issue that worries you most

•         eco-friendly lifestyles that teenagers should practise

•         the importance of raising awareness to protect the environment

Use all the notes above and give reasons for your point of view.

Write your essay in 125 – 150 words in an appropriate style.

As far as I am concerned, the most pressing environmental issue that worries me most is plastic pollution (Topic sentence). The excessive use of single-use plastics has led to contaminated oceans and clogged ecosystems (Supporting sentence 1). Moreover, plastic pollution also endangers wildlife like turtles in the sea (Supporting sentence 2). In short, I am worried as it has been causing irreversible damage to our planet (Supporting sentence 3).

From my perspective, teenagers can adopt eco-friendly lifestyles to combat this crisis (Topic sentence). First and foremost, practising habits such as carrying reusable water bottles, avoiding plastic straws, and recycling can drastically reduce waste (Supporting sentence 1). Additionally, supporting sustainable products and reducing energy consumption by turning off lights and unplugging devices are small yet impactful actions that teenagers can easily do (Supporting sentence 2).

   Absolutely, raising awareness is pivotal in protecting the environment (Topic sentence). Campaigns, social media initiatives, and school programmes can raise awareness about the consequences of environmental neglect. (Supporting sentence 1). By disseminating knowledge and raising awareness, we can inspire collective efforts to practise eco-friendly lifestyle. Besides, we can also amplify our efforts to protect Mother Nature (Supporting sentence 2).  In addition, we can also create a ripple effect of positive changes especially among youth (Supporting sentence 3).

  In conclusion, protecting the environment is a shared responsibility. Teenagers and everyone else play a vital role in preserving our planet for generations to come.

Throughout our lives, we encounter individuals who leave a deep impression on us. For me, the person I admire most is my older sister. She is a dedicated, ambitious, and reliable person whose strength of character continues to influence me in meaningful ways.

What I admire most about her is her perseverant nature. During her university years, she faced numerous academic and personal challenges. However, she remained focused on her goals, displaying remarkable resilience and diligence. She was also meticulous in her work, paying close attention to detail while maintaining high standards in everything she did. Moreover, her ability to remain articulate in stressful situations made her a respected leader among her peers.

As a student, I’ve learned a great deal from her example. Her disciplined lifestyle has motivated me to become more responsible and to take ownership of my learning. When I feel discouraged or unmotivated, I think about her courageous attitude and how she never allowed obstacles to define her path. As a result, I’ve become more organised, goal-oriented, and confident in facing academic pressures.

In conclusion, my sister embodies the qualities of a true role model. Her combination of ambition, integrity, and inner strength has inspired me to become a better version of myself, both academically and personally.

Restaurant Review – The Olive Grove

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of dining at The Olive Grove, a charming restaurant located in a peaceful part of town. The setting was both elegant and inviting, featuring rustic wooden interiors, soft lighting, and soothing background music that created a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Moreover, the staff were exceptionally courteous and attentive, contributing to an overall sense of comfort and hospitality.

The menu at The Olive Grove was impressively varied, offering a fusion of Mediterranean and contemporary European cuisine. My favourite dish was undoubtedly the grilled salmon with a delicate lemon butter sauce. The salmon was flawlessly cooked—tender and moist on the inside with a crisp, golden crust. Furthermore, it was served with a medley of roasted seasonal vegetables that complemented the dish beautifully, both in flavour and presentation.

Other than that, the dessert selection was a highlight in itself. I chose the chocolate lava cake, and it exceeded my expectations. Rich, velvety, and perfectly balanced with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream, it was the ideal way to conclude the meal. The portions were generous, and considering the quality of the dishes, the pricing was entirely reasonable.

All in all, I would highly recommend The Olive Grove to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Hence, whether for a casual outing or a special occasion, this restaurant offers exceptional food, impeccable service, and a delightful atmosphere that will leave a lasting impression.

I hope you're doing well at school. I excelled in my final exams and was rewarded with a trip to Penang. Do you think I should travel by train or bus? Why do you think so? What about you? Which one would you prefer?

I hope you can reply to me as soon as possible.

Ariff

I am well. Congratulations on your final exam! Glad to hear that. Sounds great that you can have a trip to Penang.

In my opinion, I think you should travel to Penang by a train. It is because you can prevent from traffic jammed. Additionally, it will provide you more convenient seats and environment. Moreover, you can reach the destination earlier. However, it will cost you an arm and a leg but for me, I still prefer to choose a train rather than a bus.

I hope you can make your decision wisely. That is all from me. Bye!
