Question 4 (b)

To: pmila96@gmail.com

From: Vikneswaran461@gmail.com

Subject: Special menu at Queensbay Mall Penang food court.

Hello Pramila! How are you there? Hope you are in the pink. I just want to tell you that there
is a Queensbay Mall Penang food court here. You can taste delicious foods here. There are main
three menus which are very popular. I suggest you to choose Mimi’s Super Deal because the price
is very cheap and the quantity is very large.

Then, you can even try Atirah’s Special although the price is a bit expensive. It is actually
more to seafood type because you can eat fishballs, prawns and squid. Next, you can also try Deli
Sandwich Delight which is very tasty and the price is expensive compared to other menus. It contains
sandwich and chicken. You will like the menu.

That’s all for now. I hope we can go together to the food court and eat the tasty foods.

Question 1
Last holiday, my family went to Port Dickson. We saw lots of children playing happily by the
seaside. We also arranged the food on a mat under a shady tree. Then, all of us enjoyed the “nasi
lemak” and sandwiches prepared by my mother. My father also bought ice cream for me, my sister
and my younger brother.

Once we ate the foods and ice cream, we threw away all the plastics into a dustbin. After
that, I went for swimming while my sister and my younger brother had fun building sandcastles at
low tide. We were so excited. There were also a lot of children running here and there happily. I also
played kite which was given by my friend for my birthday. I saw some children used buoy to float in
the water. Three of us wore swimming trunk because it was the suitable dress for swimming.

We also took pictures of ourselves at the beach. Soon it was time to leave. All of us had a
great time together at the beach although it was a tiring day.

Question 2

Ismail’s mother wanted to bake a chocolate cake. Unfortunately, the ingredients to bake the
cake were not enough. So, Ismail quickly cycled to the shop using his bicycle and bought some eggs,
flour, butter and chocolate. Then, he gave the things he bought to his mother. He also helped his
mother to make the cake.

First, he beat the eggs nicely. Then, he added some flour and butter. When the batter was
ready, he poured it into a round-shaped container and put it into the oven. While waiting for the cake
to bake, he cleaned the kitchen and washed the spoons.

When the cake was ready, he took it out and left it cool. Next, his mother put the chocolate
topping on the cake. Then, his mother cut the cake and served it on a plate. His family had it for tea
time. Ismail was very happy as it was really delicious cake.
