“Living in this world without friends is like a sunless garden”. That is what my friends say. “As we go on, we remember all the times we had together. And as our lives change, come whatever, we will still be friends forever”. That is was a singer sings. But for me, friends are like sun and moon that always brighten up your days. Just like the sun; sometimes, it’s hot but it’s good for you. No matter how hot it is, you still need it to go through your hard days. Just like the moon in the dark, lightens your way through the night.
Good friends are friends who always stay by your side not only through good days but also through bad days. They tell us things to do and things that we should be aware of. An advice form a friend is like a golden coin which is very precious. Even though it is hard for us to find true friends, but once you have found them, keep it safe. It is because friends are fragile. Easily broken but when you keep it safe, it’s go beautiful.
Friends are not only for fun. Build up a study group so that you and your friends can share different opinions together. The best time to study together is during weekends because more time can be spent for study rather than for fun. It is not wrong to have fun. You and your friends can have fun after finishing the homework such as playing badminton, playing scrabbles or even window shopping. It is surely going to be fun!
Anyone can fall and can hurt someone they love. Hearts will break for a silly mistake but it is not our job to punish our friends for their mistakes. They are human beings who deserve a second chance. However, rules are needed for second chance. First, to feel regret of the mistake done. Second, to stop repeating the same mistakes and the third rule is to let bygone be bygone.
Sharing and keeping secrets are one of the best parts in friendship. The things shared are sad and sometimes funny that make you and your friends laugh the entire day. Be a good listener to your friends because there are some secrets that are not suitable to be shared with family that they would like to share it with you. Never push them too much because they are also some secrets that they cannot share them with you.
Being friends with other are good but things that should be aware if is never offend your friends because once they are hurt, they heart is hard to recover. May we enjoy the moments that we have and will share with our friends.

REPORT ON THE CONDITION AND SERVICES OF THE HOSTEL(F3)
Residential school is a school that provides students a place to stay so that the students who live far from the school will not have any problem to attend school. Resiential school usually a school that accept intelligent and excellent students chosen from all over the country. Also, residential school usually provides the students with some facilities that can be used by the students so that they do not face difficulties living alone without parents and make them feel at home. Having conducive facilities and good services are important to help the students to adapt to the new learning environment. Unfortunately, I have found that our school does not have the criteria of a good residential school. In this report, I on behalf of the students of MARAJuniorScienceCollegeKota Putra would like to notify our dissatisfaction and complaint about the condition and services of the hostel where we are staying in.

How are you? It has been a long time since we have heard from you. How is life in boarding school? I write this letter is that you can hear about me and Lina’s school outing to Pulau Kapas. Do you want to hear it?
Brother,
On a cool breezy Saturday morning, 20 people including us gathered at the school at 7.15 am. We were very excited as this would be our first trip to Pulau Kapas. After a brief roll call, we rode a bus to a nearby jetty. There, a boat was specially chartered for us. At around 7.30 a.m, the boat departed from the jetty and took 20 minutes to arrive at a jetty in Pulau Kapas. Before alighting, we paid the fare, which is RM 90 per person.
After arriving, we frolicked around happily. After getting permission, we all jumped into the sea and swam in the warm water. Some, after getting bored, went on to dry land and grabbed a few snorkelling equipments. Seeing them snorkelling, we followed suit. Soon, everybody was snorkelling in the clear water. We also had a chance to see some fish. After a while, our skins were wrinkled and some already had blue lips and started shivering. So, we got out of the water and warmed ourselves up. Half an hour later, we played some games on the beach such as football, volleyball and sandcastles.
Soon, dusk came. So, we pitched up tents and lighted a fire. Around the campfire, we sang song and listened to ghost stories. We cooked mushroom soup on the fire and it was delicious. Along way into the night, we felt sleepy and retired into our tents. Lina went into the girls’ tent. When dawn came, we woke up, gathered on the beach and listened to the waves crashing on the beach.
On that Sunday noon, we packed our stuffs and left the island. We were a bit sad. But we are satisfied and cannot wait to come again.
That is it from me for now. I know it is a bit long, but I hope you will be satisfied. Can’t wait to hear from you again. Bye!
Sincerely yours,
Faiq Hazim
Guided Writing II Aimi Fathanah's Composition
Last week, it was my 13th birthday party. I was very excited to celebrate it together with my family and friends. Two days before my birthday, I sent some invitation cards to my classmates, teachers and relatives so they could come over my house.
That night, I decorated the house beautifully. It was full with balloons. I couldn’t wait to wear my new dress that my father brought. The next morning, I woke up early from my sleep and dressed up as pretty as an angel. I was waiting for my friends to come over to my birthday party. The first persons to arrive at my house were my Aunt Jenna and Uncle Tom. They took an aeroplane just to come over my birthday party. It was very shocking. They gave me a big and huge present. They told me to open it after the birthday party is over.
After a few minutes, my friends came. They wished me a happy birthday and gave me presents. They were dressed up beautifully. We had a great time together. The food and drinks were prepared on the table ready to be eaten. The part that I was waiting for was cutting the cake. Everyone was very happy. Some of them took pictures of me and some of them sang the birthday. After that, we played the musical chair game. It was a simple game. We need to get a radio for the music and some pieces of papers. The papers are written with some instructions to be done. The papers are put in the box and the guests who failed to get the seat when the music stop will pick one of the papers in the box and perform the instruction written. We had fun laughing together. At the edge of the room, a table was full of presents and cards.
I could not wait to open the presents. The funny clown who suddenly went inside my house was entertaining. I was wondering who was the person wearing that kind of fancy outfit. The clown showed funny tricks that made us laugh. The voice of the clown was familiar. It was certainly my father. They got reach of the mask and saw my father’s face. He hugged me and held me tight. It was the best birthday party I ever had. After all the guests had gone back home, I started to open the presents. I got a study lamp, some books, lovely dress, a new pair of shoes and lots more, I was amazed. I had never ever got so much presents as that day.
I was tires but on cloud nine. I had a magnificent, memorable and exciting day. I am looking forward for the next year’s birthday party. I cannot wait!
