READING COMPREHENSION

Hi Julia,
Read your e-mail a fortnight ago. Sorry for the late reply. Nice to hear that
you had a great holiday in Sabah.
As for me, I enjoyed my holidays in Pangkor Island with my family. Dad drove
to Lumut. Then we boarded a ferry to the island. We loved every minute of the ride
as the scenery was breathtaking. Upon reaching our destination, we checked into
the Royal Casuarina Hotel. We rested for a while before dinner.
The next day, Dad rented a van. We visited Sungai Pinang Kecil, a fishing
village. We saw fishermen mending their nets and stopped to watch several women
drying seafood delicacies like cuttlefish and anchovies. Mother took this opportunity
to buy some salted fish.
Later, we went to Sungai Pinang Besar. Here, the villagers were repairing and
cleaning their boats. I must say that watching the boats being painted was an
interesting experience.
The following day, we made a trip to the Dutch Fort at Telok Gadong. We
spent hours there taking photographs. Then, we went to the beach where my
brother and I collected seashells.
All in all, it was a tiring journey but we had a wonderful time. I must say that it
was fun to do things together as a family and I hope to visit Pangkor Island again.
Thats all for now and do keep in touch.

Your cousin,
Fauziah
