Hi Saleem,

Thank you for reminding me about the mathematics projects. I remember well
the deadline, which is on the1st March. The deadline is just about one month from
now.

Thanks to your email, I take your advice to meet up for discussion as soon as
possible. I suggest that we meet up at the school library after school, starting next week.
Since the library is always packed, I recommend we meet up right after school as early
bird catches the worm.

Regarding your query on good websites for research, SPMFlix and BijakSPM are
some of the good choices.Let us browse through these websites before our forthcoming
meeting. See you!

 Question 1
You received an email from your friend, Sam. Sam wants to improve her English.

Hi,
I just finished reading the book you lent to me. When can I return the book to you? Can
you recommend other English storybooks for me to read? Where do you think I can buy
them?

I’ll be waiting for your reply. Bye!

Sam

Now, write an email to your friend in about 80 words. Write your answer below or on a
separate answersheet of foolscap paper.

Hi Sam,

I am still in disbelief that you completed the 288-pages book in a week! You
can come over anytime to return the book.

I have plenty of storybooks under my collection. However, those are my primary

school collections where most books are under the Enid Blyton series. Unfortunately,
I don’t think they are suitable for you now. If you like to read storybooks, I have a few
“Penguin” and “Oxford Bookworm” books which are quite good indeed. They are
mainly literature, adventurous and suspense genres.

You can buy them from any bookstore or online. I suggest you purchase those
which I do not have so that we can exchange. We can find a day to meet up and go
to the bookstore together. Let me know when you are free.

Regards,
Cathy

It has been so long since we last met and the final examination is just around the corner.

Leong

Now, write an email to your friend in about 80 words. Write your answer below or on a

Hi Leong,

You are right! We have not seen each other for donkey’s years. Your idea to meet
up for discussion is very much applauded.

The venue which I am suggesting should be a quiet and conducive place. Why not
we gather at the Chill Cafe which we used to go to? There is one favourite spot in the
cafe where we used to study during our PT3.About the time, I propose to have it during
weekdays as the crowd is lesser. I am available on 27 April 2022, are you fine with it?

I have picked up a few books from the bookstore and several modules from the
internet which are very good.Let us source more materials before the meet-up. See you!

Hi Mona,

I am as excited as you are as this year’s school holiday will be memorable for us.
I am glad that your mother has permitted you to come to Kelantan.

I have planned the itineraries for your trip already. First, we will have breakfast at
“Restoran Capital’ where it offers the best nasi kerabu, which is blue-coloured rice
eaten with dried fish or fried chicken, in town. Then, a boat ride down the Galas River
is a must. For beaches, I can take you to walk along Pantai Cahaya Bulan and relax on
Irama Beach. Basically, you should bring along a cap, comfortable T-shirts and
sunscreen. It could be hot these days in Kelantan.

I can assure you that you will have a magical experience here. See you soon!

Since this is the first time you are in Malaysia, I suggest that you bring your sport
shoes here and more cotton T-shirts as the weather now is very hot. You should not
miss some of the greatest landmarks in Malaysia such as the KL Tower, KLCC, Batu
Caves and Taman Negara. You should stay in a homestay asyou can save thousands of
ringgits if your trip here is more than a week. If you don’t mind, I can offer my home
as I have an additional empty room in my house.

Keep me updated on your trip here! Bye!

and Indian that you can choose from. They even have Thai cuisine, which is your favourite.

Hi,
The exam is just around the corner! Let’s have a study group together! Where shall we
conduct it? Who should come along? What are the subjects that we should be
emphasising?

I’ll be waiting for your reply.

Bye!
Saleem

Now, write an email to your friend in about 80 words. Write your answer below or on a

Hi Saleem,

You are absolutely correct! The exam is coming! Your advice to form a study group
together is spot on!

We should conduct it in the library after school. We should invite several friends.
However, the group should not be more than five people. Subjects which we should be
emphasising are Additional Mathematics,Accounts and Physics. We should not take on
all the subjects. Just focus on the above three first.

Let’s not waste time as time is gold now. Let me call Abu and Sean about your idea.

 Question 1
You received an email from your friend, Alif, from Johor.

Hi,

I am excited to begin my Japanese language classes next month. Are you free next
week? My parents plan to buy a dictionary to help me with the new Japanese
vocabularyand maybe some songs. Do you think it will work for me? You mentioned
earlier that you’d help me when my classes begin. Can you still do that? I’ll be waiting
for your reply.

Alif

Hi Alif,

Finally, you are starting our Japanese classes. You should and I hope everything turns
out fine for you. I am free for the next whole month since I have just completed my final
exam. Getting a dictionary will definitely help you but I doubt the songs could help. You
should get some practice books in Japanese for beginners. If you need any
recommendations, you can check with your teacher.

I can help you since I have some experience in Japan during my exchange students
programme. We can talkfurther on this over the phone. Talk to you later!
