------------------------------------SAMPLE ANSWER
Halim is my pen pal. He studies in the Year 6 Best in SK Cemerlang. Halim enjoys outdoor activities such
as camping and fishing. We share similar hobbies too. Halim is an active and friendly boy. He is popular in
his school and his teachers like him too.
During the last holidays, Halim and his friends went camping together. They were excited and planned for
the trip well. They camped in Bukit Nanas quite far from their school. Halims uncle, Encik Abdul Rahman
accompanied them on the trip. He was an experienced scout so he could look after the boys well and help
them . They brought along tents, torchlights, clothes, cooking utensils and enough food for three days.
The weather was fine and everyone was in a happy mood. After getting down from Halims uncle new car,
they had to walk through a jungle track to reach their campsite. Each of them had to carry their own heavy
knapsacks on their backs. The air was fresh and they enjoyed walking . They were happy to get away
from the hustle and bustle of their busy town.
Soon they reached their campsite. They saw a beautiful waterfall nearby. The boys pitched their tents and
collected firewood for the campfire at night and cooking. After that, they spent a lot of time playing in the
cool clear water. Encik Abdul Rahman taught them how to make a fishing rod. Halim and his friends made
their own fishing rods from thin branches and twigs.
They had fun trying to catch fish using the fishing rods they had made. They also took turns to cook their
simple meals over a fire.
Besides fishing and swimming, the adventurous boys also went jungle trekking . It was a challenging
activity as the ground was steep and slippery. Although it was tiring, the boys enjoyed themselves in the
jungle. They could see various types of insects and rare birds and plants. They collected some leaves and
pebbles for their Science Corner in their class. At night, they had a lovely campfire and sang many
camping songs , joked and laughed a lot.
Soon, it was time to return home. They had spent three wonderful days in the jungle. Before leaving their
campsite, they made sure that the place was clean. They picked up all the rubbish and put it in a big
plastic bag. Halims uncle made sure that he had put out the fire carefully. He did not want to cause any
forest fires. Then, all of them left the jungle feeling tired but happy. It was an educational and adventurous
experience. When they returned home, they wrote down their experience in their diaries.
