SAMPLE ESSAY

48, Jalan Sekolah,

41060 Banting,

Selangor Darul Ehsan, 

Malaysia. 

27 January 2010.

Dear Jude, 

    How are you? It has been a long time since I last wrote to you. I have been pretty busy. I just wonder whether school life for you in Australia is as hectic as ours in Malaysia. 

    Well, I've just finished my exams and I thought I would write to you about what is happening in my part of the world.

    The latest sensation in my town is a shopping mall which opened last week. Called Funtastic Parade, rather fancifully, it is very big. In fact, it is also the largest shopping mall in my district. Its opening attracted scores of people because there are many shopes selling anything from designer items to home-made products. You can also find bookstores, florists and pharmacies. You name it and they have it all!

    Another attraction in the mall is a food court where hungry shoppers can find a variety of food to suit thier taste. Western food, Easten cuisine and local hawker fare are available in the food court snd the prices are reasonable. 

    Another thing that is attracting throngs of people is the exhibition of tourist spots Malaysia held on the ground floor in the centre court of the shopping mall. As you know Jude, the Malaysian government is trying hard to promote local tourism and this exhibition is attracting not only foreign tourists but also local people. The exhibition is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Information about my country is available in posters and brochures which are given away free of charge. 

    Well Jade, one day you must come over to my country and I can assure you that first place I'll take you to, is the mall.

    I guess that's all for the moment. Do write back when you have the time. 

    Bye, and my God bless you and your family. 

Yours sincerely,

JASMINE(sign here)
