Essay 1: My great memory

The slimy and squiggly farm writhed in point as it is hooked on the sharp bent iron. To those weak at heart, it is not a sight to savor but for those who love fishing, the scene is something ordinary. If you are squeamish about worm, then fishing is not a suitable hobby.

As for me, I just love fishing. My father bought me for my first fishing trip in Taman Negara 4 years ago, and since then I am hooked. Every available time. I would follow my father or some friends for a fishing trip. What accessories do I need for fishing? Quiet a lot. First, you need the fishing rod. The rod ranges from a simple bamboo stick to the more complicated rod made of steel being sold at the shops. Then, you will need the special tied at the end of the rod. Then, you need the bait. You can use baits like worms, grasshoppers, frog and many more. There also sell artificial baits made from soft and colorful synthetic rubber.

Fishing could be a very expensive hobby if you are seriously into it. You need hundreds of ringgit to buy the accessories. For example, a good fishing rod could cost you up to RM 200 per piece or more but as a kid, I spend a few ringgits only just to buy the rod and hook. The rod I found from the bushes behind my house. The baits I dug out from the ground.

Some people might say that fishing is just a waste of time. For me, it is not! As for me, when I go fishing, I can relax my mind and body. I also like the feeling when I catch some fish because I fell more satisfaction when a fish eat my bait. Last month, I entered a fishing competition and I won second prize. I receive RM 1000 for my effect. So, who say that fishing is waste of time?

Not many people share my passion. However, no one can change how I feel towards fishing. I would love it as my hobby for as long as I live.

Essay 2: My perfect future husband

I am allergic to honey. It gives me a headache. My future husband has to know this. That will bring him one step closer to being perfect. He must also have a head of full of hair and be a foot taller than myself. That really should not be a problem. He also needs to be fit and healthy with a trim body as proof.

He must also be very successful at his career whatever that may be as long as he is not policeman, a fireman, a lawyer, an accountant, a dentist, a surgeon, a reporter, a top artist or a graphics designer. Anything else is fine. A salary with six figures per month undeniably brings him forward to becoming perfect. He has to be a man who walks with confidence in his graceful strike. A man who is sure of what he wants and will not stop walking until he gets it. He must have the power of a panda. The ability to make people succumb his wish. Fulfill his every whim and fancy.

He also have spend more time with me maybe go to trip during the weekend. Would a husband be perfect if he leaves his wife out of his life? No, he most certainly would be not perfect. I also fully expect him to share more details of his life with me because it can make me closer with him. To be honest, I actually do not care what my husband’s name is. I do not care if his abs is rock hard. As long as he can save me from the lizard and spiders, he is the most powerful man on earth to me. My heart’s desire is to have his heart and soul.

I hope my perfect future husband will love me even if I do not have slim thighs, cannot cook and despite’s dressing up. He must accept me as what I am. For me as a women, I am really want him to show how much he loves me by the look in his eyes and how patient he is with me even while I am scolding him.

Essay 3: Prevent is better than cure

H1N1 pandemic flu has spread to some 160 countries and killed more than thousand people and needs to be watched carefully in case it mutates and becomes more severe in winter. The first suggestions are the government should prioritize who receives the H1N1 vaccine first based on the people most vulnerable to H1N1. Each country will have to decide who will be the recipients of the vaccine. Like South Africa’s Executive Director said the person who should be prioritized for vaccinations are include healthcare, pregnant women, people with obesity and those with respiratory problems.

Next, to prevent or minimize the chances of getting the swine flu and the regular flue is finding out more about the illness from reliable sources, learning how serious swine flu is, learn what can be done prevent it, discovering what symptom to watch for and when to seek additional treatment. Also you need to find some information about the history of swine.Influenza and swine flu or an infectious disease that can be transmitted from animals to human.

Like all the other countries are doing in preventing from getting the H1N1 flu, the people are suggested to follow these steps:
1. They should wash their hand after doing the works or touch the things. It is because hand washing is the single most important means of preventing the spread of infection.
2. Cover your cough, don’t touch your face and stay away from people who are sick or getting the flu. If you do get sick, stay home so it won’t pass it to anyone else.
3. Parents also have to play as a role model in preventing about the H1N1 flu. What should the parents telling their children about the swine flu?

What are the other country’s governments doing about the H1N1 flu? Like president Obama said to be calm but cautious. The steps the federal government is taking include urging people with symptoms to stay home from work or school. Then distributing antiviral treatment, the government requesting $1.5 billion from Congress to invest in additional antiviral emergency equipment and the development of a vaccine.
