Dear Sir,
A Heartfelt Gratitude
I wish to express my utmost thanks and gratitude to the doctors and nurses at General Hospital Tengku Rahimah Klang for their delicacy care and excellent services during my stay at the hospital.
2. Two weeks ago I went to the hospital due to severe vomiting and abdominal pain. I was diagnosed with appendix and had to undergo a surgery as quickly as possible. Doctor Rebecca was thorough and answered all my parents' question patiently when I was admitted into the hospital.
3. Before the surgery, I felt really nervous and frightened that I will be in a great deal of pain during the surgery. Luckily, the staff and the nurses there were kind enough to reassure me. I was then feeling more comfortable and had calm down my mind before undergo the surgery.
4. After the surgery, the recovery was painful. However, Doctor Rebecca and the nurses provided round the clock care and attention to me. During my stay in the hospital for three days, I had been well taken care of.
I am really grateful to the doctor and nurses for their commitment and delicacy care. Last but not least, I would like to say thank you again to all of you.
Yours faithfully,
Joanne Tan

A BREAK IN INCIDENT
Last night I could not sleep well because it was a hot night. So, I went to open the windows in my room. While I was opening the windows, I was shock to see a robber was climbing up my neighbours'gate. My neighbours had gone overseas and no one was at home.
At first, I was shocked to see that situation. However, I tried to keep a cool head. I quickly walked into my parents'room in order to wake my parents up. I told them about this incident. Without any hesitation, my father quickly picked up his phone and called to the police station.
Soon, a police patrol car arrived in front of my neighbours' house. Four policemen got out from the patrol car. Two of them went into the house quietly while the other two waiting outside the gate.
A bolt out of the blue, we heard some shouting and loud footsteps. The robber ran out of the house and two officers were chasing after him. Unfortunately, the robber tripped down by a stone and fell down. The policemen managed to catch and handcuffed him.
The policemen thanked and praised us for being alert to our surrounding. I felt so ecstatic and happy because I had done a good deed. The moral of the story is we must always be a willing horse.

A FLOOD
It was the worst rainy weather that I had seen. The skies remained overcast as sheets of rain poured down without stopping. In the evenings, the rain usually accompanied by blinding flashes of lightning and deafening peals of thunder. Most of the residents in my area remained confined indoors. Apart from people scurrying to and from work and school, there was little outdoor activity.
After about a few days of incessant rain, the swollen river burst its banks and unleashed its fury on the residents. Many of the residents ere caught off-guard. As the floodwaters rose, the water started gushing into their homes. The flood swept away everything in path such as rubbish bins and small pots of plants. Cars parked along the roads were half-submerged.
Everyone tried to shift their things to higher level but their efforts were in vain. There was not enough time as the flood water was moving fast. Everyone could only save themselves. Many residents managed to climb up to the rooftop. Rescue boats were nowhere in sight. Some people were soaking wet while some managed to wait under an umbrella.
Soon, the rescue boats came and picked up the residents to a flood relief centre which crowded with people. After about a day of heavy downpour, the rains finally showed signs of abating. The overcast skies finally cleared. So, everyone started to return to their homes.
In the event of flood, we need to take precautions to stay safe. People could easily get drowned in a flood. So, it is important not to walk or wade through flood waters. We can also avoid from electrocution by stay away from power lines and electrical wires.

VISITING CLASSMATE IN HOSPITAL
Ken and Lenny are best friends. They always play badminton and go cycling together during their carefree time. Unfortunately, one day, Ken had admitted into the hospital because he had hit by a white car. So, Lenny decided to visit him on Tuesday afternoon. He had invited some of his classmates to visit Ken in the hospital.
On Tuesday afternoon, it had been a hot day as the sun was on the horizon. Lenny and his classmates had arrived at the hospital. Ken smile weakly as Lenny and his classmates entered the room. He looked very pale. It was very lucky for Ken that he only fractured his left leg in the accident. His left leg was in the cast at the moment. However, there were also some bruises on his left arm. Lenny and his classmates had brought a basket of fruits and a box of chocolates to Ken. Ken thanked them for their gift.
They then talked about the accident. Lenny had recommended some safety tips on how to avoid the accident from happening. First, we must always behave vigilant while walking or crossing a road. We can use the pedestrians bridge if we want to cross a busy road. It is also important to stay on the designed walkways for pedestrians. Stay alerts and always look right and left before crossing the street, even when the lights is green.
After a while, a nurse with a tray of medicine and a glass of water on it. It was time for Ken to eat medication. Lenny and his classmates then decided to leave because Ken need to get enough rest. Before they left, they promised Ken that they will visit him again next week. After that, they left the hospital and went home.
