BICYCLE

In my opinion, bicycles are the best means of transport. They were cheap and not complicated : they have no engine and only two wheels, and anybody can afford to buying one.

Because they having no engines, they are ‘cleaner’ than any other kind of vehicle. In other words, they don’t give out any toxic gasses which caused pollution and creating health problems in our cities. If everybody in the world rode bicycles, and other vehicles such as motor-bikes and cars didn’t existed, we could solve the pollution problem very easily.

Having no engine has other advantages : bicycles can easily been maintained, unlike cars which consists of many parts and will not work if any of these parts breaks. Moreover, no fuel are needed to make a bicycle work, so the rider can go for mile after mile without need to stop at a petrol station.

According to recent research, riding bicycles are one of the best kinds of exercise. It makes the circulation of blood in our body faster and improve our ability to think. This was very important for our studies. Nowadays, it is becoming popular for people to cycling long distances : across a state, for instance, or even around the world. This is frequently happen in countries like Australia and the USA.

In the future, bicycles would be different from those we know today.

Research have been carried out, and is still continuing, to find ways for kng bicycles go faster. In my opinion, the bicycles of the future will have good streamlining but will protected him from sun and rain.

MY SCHOOL

My school one of the biggest in Malaysia. It have students from Form One to Form Six and four block of hostels for students whose families stay a long way from the school. It was situated just outside town, away from the main road, so that we are not disturb by the niose of passing traffic.

They are three big buildings which house classrooms and science laboratories and another building where would found the school office, the staff room and the library. Many years ago, a kind heart headmaster was planted some trees between the classroom buildings. Now this trees have grown tall and beautiful and tired students can relaxing on seats beneath them, in the cool shade.

In front of the school there is a big field which is used for athletics, football matches and off course, the annual Sports Day. Although the prefects try to keep the field clean and tidy but there are a few lazy pupils who always dropped their rubbish there instead of put it in the rubbish bin. I ask this pupils why they are drop their rubbish but they don’t seem to care.

We having two canteens in our school but they were used to serve tasteless dishes and a lot of ‘junk food’ which bad for our health. Last year, however, the Form Six boys discussed about this problem and complain to the Principal. After that the canteen manager was changed and now no body complaining any more. We are too lucky to have a sympathetic Principle.

FRIENDS

Everybody in this world need a friends because friends can help when any kind of problem. Myself, I am a people who can’t running away from a problems, so friends are too important for me.

I have many friend who was always helpful if I have a problem. Off course, I am also help them if they are in any kind of trouble. I must being helpful if I wanted helpful friends.

In my school, I need a friends for help me in my studies. I am studying for SPM but I having problems in English grammar. I could not understand what my teacher’s tell me so I ask my friends to explained it to me. We all going to sit for the English paper and I afraid that I might failing. I don’t know what was been happened if I failed. My parents would certainly be so disappointed.

In my village, I am also need my friends. My neighbours is my family close friends : if we go away on holiday they always look after our house and watered my mother orchids. And if they are any serious problems, we know they will help us willingly. Once my father urgently needed RM600 and our neighbour lend him the money without asked any questions. That is true friendship.

MY WEEKEND

Last weekend I done quiet a lot of useful things around the house. As soon as I had got up and washed, I tidied my bed and go to the kitchen to helped my mother to cook breakfast for the family. Then I was clean the table and washed the bowls and glasses.

While my mother washing the clothes, I had help my sister to sweep the floor and prepare lunch. Then I relax for half an hour.

After lunch, I can go out and play games. Most of my friends like to play netball or badminton so they usually comes to my house and play in my father’s big compound under the trees. After, when we have finish playing, we ask my uncle if he can take us to town to do some shopping or watch a film.

There was a good film last weekend and we all wanted to see it. But unfortunately my uncle has sent his car to the mechanic that morning, so he wasn’t able to take us.
