Appendix 2: Reading Text

Going to Taman Desa

Last Saturday, my brother and I went to visit our cousin Ally. She was sick and was admitted to the hospital. The day before, mom advised us to depart early as traffic jams often occurred in the peak hour around eight in the morning. After we have taken our breakfast, we took a bus to the bus station. It was around seven o’clock. That was the first time for us to go to Taman Desa, we were not familiar with the place and had to bring along a map that dad had drawn for us few days earlier.

Looking at the map excitedly, we then walked along Jalan Parit until we reached a T-junction. Later, we saw a row of shop houses on the opposite side of the junction. We went across the road and stopped by to buy some fruits, flowers and magazine there. After that we continued and walked along Jalan Bayu. While we were walking, we were nearly knocked down by a reckless motorist who disobeyed the traffic rules. He did not stop and apologise but kept staring at us as if we were the one who offended him. My brother and I lamented on the incident while continuing our journey.

Then we arrived at a park, which is well-known by its beautiful flowers and landscape. I begged my brother to accompany me for at least half an hour in the park as the hospital is not far from the park. Sadly, I broke one of the flower pots at the park when I ran over a small bridge to the other side of the park. Being scolded by its care taker, we were fined and

Downheartedly, we proceed along the road until we came to a sharp bend and turned right to reach the hospital. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to visit Ally as the visiting hour has just over. “What a bad day!!” I said to my brother. We were then forced to wait until lunch hour in order to pay Ally a visit. Later, we chatted with Ally and told her about the accident that I have made.

It was still early after visiting Ally, so my brother decided to walk to the post office to buy some stamps. We walked along Jalan Bayu and passed a fire brigade where we saw the firemen were busy maintaining the fire engines.

After that, we went over Merdeka Bridge. I could see a lot of water lilies floating on Sungai Malik. Under the bridge, there was a few people busy fishing. Being not aware of my footstep, I skidded and fell down. Luckily, I only suffered some minor injuries. My brother was very worried and called my uncle to bring us back after buying his stamps at the post office, which is opposite the public library. He told me that we better went home before any bad things happened to me again. What a bad day!
