DISCUSSION ON SECTION B

I would choose train to Kuala Lumpur because it is exciting.  The train leaves Ipoh at 9.00 a.m. and it arrives in Kuala Lumpur at 1.00 p.m.  Though it takes 4 hours to reach the destination, I do not mind.  I can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the journey.  The fare is RM 35.00 for adults and RM 17.00 for children below 12.  The fare is reasonable and affordable.  The number of passengers is 100.  The train has comfortable and adjustable seats.  It is air-conditioned and it has cafeteria.

       Last Sunday was a public holiday. Halim and his family went for a picnic at the waterfall in Sekayu.  They went there by his father’s car.  They took one hour to reach the place.

       At about 9.00 a.m., they arrived at the waterfall.  Halim’s father parked his car under a big shady tree.  After that, they looked for a suitable spot to spread the mat and put their things.  After spreading the mat, Halim and his siblings jumped into the water. They enjoyed swimming on the water.  The water was so cool and it was clear as crystal.  Meanwhile, Halim’s parents were sitting on the mat.  His father ate the food while his mother served the food on the mat.  Halim’s brother took photographs of the beautiful scenery of the waterfall.  While he was snapping the picture, he saw a snake.  The snake curled beside the big rock not far from him.  He immediately phoned Rescue 911.  He told them about the snake.  After 15 minutes, they arrived at the scene.   There was already a crowd of people there.  The attendant managed to catch the snake within 10 minutes.  Everybody clapped their hands for his bravery.  The man took the reptile with him.  The place was now safe for them. All of them felt relieved because they could continue their activities there.
