INTRODUCTION

The English Language has always been regarded as the challenging subject
despite an increase in the percentage of passes in the 2008 UPSR examination. After
years of teaching and learning, pupils are still lacking in the listening, speaking, reading
and writing skills especially those in the rural schools, thus resulting in the low
achievement of pupils.

As their participation in the UPSR examination plays a vital role in determining


the percentage of passes, they should not be overlooked. With that in mind, the Perak
Tengah English Department has initiated another special programme that caters mainly
for the low achievers. The District English Panel hopes that this module will be a great
benefit to the low achievers in Perak Tengah district.

RATIONALE

To motivate and help pupils have a better command of the English Language in a
systematic teaching and learning programme which includes a variety of activities and
strategies.

AIMS

1. To enable the pupils to improve their proficiency in listening, speaking, reading


and writing skills.

2. To assist teachers in helping to improve pupils’ achievement levels.

How are you? I hope you are fine and happy with your family. How was your

September 1899. When the Japanese came to Malaya, she treated the wounded
soldiers secretly. Unfortunately, she was caught by the Japanese. They put her in
prison and tortured her. She never gave up fighting against the Japanese. Because
of her bravery, she was awarded the George Medal by King George VI of England.
Alright, I have to stop now. Hope you will write to me and tell me how you
spent your last school holidays.

Thanks for telling me about your family.
I would also like to tell you about someone in my family. She is my eldest sister.
She is one of my favourite people and I love her very much. But I never tell her that. My

She is fifteen years old, but if you see her, she does not look fifteen. She is
rather plump. She has beautiful black eyes with thick eyelashes. She always smiles
and laughs a lot. But she also likes to grumble because she wants to lose weight.
Every time, when there is a slimming product on television, she would ask our father to
buy it for her.
My father never buys the product. But he always likes to tease her about her
chocolates. He says that she could easily slim down by eating less chocolates and
exercising regularly.
Well, hope to hear from you again. Do tell me about a person that you like very
much.
Your pen pal,
Benjamin Wiranto
