Beach Clean-up
Last week, Amar and about 50 volunteers joined the beach clean-up at Pantai Merdeka. Upon
reaching, the village headman divided all the volunteers present into different groups. Each group
was given a large plastic bag to collect the rubbish.
Amar and the other volunteers started the clean-up at 8.30 a.m. Amar collected the plastic
bottles strewn carelessly along the beach. Some collected the food wrappings thrown around the
trees. Some volunteers collected the rubbish along the beach. In an hour and half, Amar and the
volunteers had managed to collect 15 large bags of rubbish.
The village headman invited all the volunteers for some refreshments. All the volunteers
quenched their thirst and took a bite of the snacks prepared by the headman’s wife. The volunteers
continued the beach clean-up by placing some sign boards requesting the members of public to
take care of the cleanliness of the beach.
Amar and the volunteers finished the clean-up around noon. They were all tired but were
happy looking at how clean the beach had become. They all hoped that the future beach patrons
will be responsible for the cleanliness of the beach and help to preserve the environment.

with you.
• Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.
• Venus the second brightest object in the night sky after the Moon. It is the hottest
planet in the Solar System.
