It took five years for the pot to be filled up. When Aizat took the pot to his uncle, the old man unlocked a large iron chest. It was full of gold coins.

Dear Maria,

Johor Darul Takzim

6 NOVEMBER 2015

How are you? Are you busy preparing for your monthly tests? I know you do not like

tests, but they help you to be more prepared for your UPSR. I know you always score good

marks.

Next week, my uncle and aunt are coming to visit us. They will keep me busy. My

aunt enjoys cooking, but she always asks me to help her in the kitchen. I do not like washing

the dishes because I often break them.

I will have no chance to watch my favourite programmes on television, too. My uncle

likes to watch sports programmes, but I prefer cartoons. To keep me away from the

television, he buys me magazines. Most of them are about education. I prefer magazines

about famous people.

I would like to write to Zurina and Ranjini. Can you get the addresses for me, please?

I have written to Mei Ling, Tina and Sarah too, but they have not send me even a postcard

since I moved to my new school.

That’s all for now. Hope to hear from you soon.

EXERCISE 6

Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Cleanliness is very important when we handle food. There are many ways to ensure that the food we prepare is clean and healthy to eat.

First, we must wash all fruits and vegetables carefully before eating or cooking. We must never eat unwashed apples and oranges or unwashed beans and carrots. The reason is they may still contain pesticides which may harm us.

Not only must we wash all pots and pans but also dishes, forks and spoons. We must use clean water and soap to do this. Clearly, this will help remove all germs and bacteria.

Personal cleanliness is also very important. Make sure that your hair is covered before you begin to cook. Always wash your hands with soap and water before you prepare or serve food.

Finally, remember to keep all food covered. Also keep gardens and drains clean. Remember! Rubbish attracts flies and rats. Unclean surroundings too, may lead to diseases.

reach home. If you open it now, something will happen to you.”

out of the cave, he stopped. “I wonder what is in the box?” he said to himself. “I’m going to

“You are my best friend. I plan to share half the gold with you.” Ramli replied, “I’ll take the

box home and take out my share. Then you can have the rest.”

Back home, when Ramli and his wife saw the gold coins, they became greedy. They

wanted all the gold for themselves. Ramli and his wife imagined what they could do with the

gold. After dinner, they opened the box once more to see the gold coins. To their surprise, the

gold coins suddenly changed into worms. Ramli thought Ujang played a trick on him.

Feeling angry and disappointed, Ramli and his wife took the box to Ujang’s house. As

they came nearer, they could hear Ujang and his wife talking about their good fortune. Ramli
