Malaysian traditional games are usually played during free time. Traditional games are very popular
among people who live in rural areas. They have been played by our ancestors. Nowadays, most of
traditional games are not being played anymore by the children as they are more attracted to play
computer games. Malay traditional games are one of the cultural heritages that are priceless and
cannot be replaced because they symbolize our customs, culture, and identity of one nation.

5 Compliment and Encourage Volunteerism

You received an email from a friend who is going to further her studies abroad.

Hi,
As you know, I’ll be furthering my studies in Australia in about three months’ time. I
would like to spend the time fruitfully but I’m not sure what I can do or which direction
to go. I could do a short course or get involved in voluntary work in a worthwhile
organisation.
I would be most obliged if you could help me out so that I can put my time to good
use.

Waiting for your good news.
Nora
