Dear Alif,

Guess what? I’m in Langkawi. I’m here with my family. We are having a great
holiday here. Yesterday, we went to Cable Car for a ride. It was scary but definitely
it was one of the most unforgettable thrills I have ever experienced. The cable car
took us to the top of mount Mat Cincang. From the top, I could see amazing view of
the mountains, valleys and the sea. Next, we visited Underwater World. It would be
worth a trip to the aquarium. I enjoyed feeding penguins and fish. I took some
picture of them too. After lunch today, we are going to HIG for shopping. I will buy
you something. Wait!! I have to go now. See you soon!
