Dear Maria,

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.

Mother’s love is like a pillow, soft and light,

It’ll warm you on the coldest night,

When you fall sick or feel the slightest pain,

She’ll stay close by you till you’re well again,

You will be fed like little birds in a nest.

Father’s love is a strong brick wall,

Lean on it and you’ll never fall,

He maybe tired from working all day,

But he buys lots of food when he gets his pay,

Father’s word is always true,

You can be sure he will do the best for you.

Brother’s love is a mango tree,

Giving you shade and fruits for free,

He will share in all your fun or sorrow,

Angry today, but he’ll be fine tomorrow,

He maybe quite smart or tricky,

But when he’s around, you need fear no bully.

Sister’s love is a loud kettle,

Full of noises, shrieks and bubbles,

When she’s not busy with all her books,

She’ll be fussy about your clothes, shoes and look,

Sister’s heart is caring and fair,

Should you ever drop a tear, she will be there.
