Subject : Malaysia National Day Parade show

Dear Nobu,
I went to the National Day Parade show with my family in Putrajaya last week. It was in
conjunction of Malaysia celebrates its 66th Independence Day on 31 August 2023. The place was
flooded with a lot of visitors and the parade was awesome! The parade started with a march-past
performed by troops that represented the government bodies and private sectors. They wore
colourful uniforms and unique costumes. The ultimate show was when the Royal Malaysian Air
Force fighter aircrafts roared through the sky for about eight minutes and displayed impressive
aerobatics movements. That was my favourite event! It received huge applause from the
audience looking up at the skies above. How’s the National Parade show being held in your
country?

Your friend,
Ammar

Dear Amira,

The Cultural Society of our school will organize a visit to Rumah Budi Old Folks Home in
Serdang, Selangor on 10 August 2023. I am interested to join the program and I would like to
invite you to join me too. The reason why I’m interested to join this initiative is because I
missed my late grandmother. A visit to the old folks home will remind me of the fond memories
with her. Since I love singing, I am planning to participate in the singing performance. By the
way, I’m suggesting you to try out the magic show since you are good in performing magic
tricks! I’m sure the elderlies will be amused and entertained with your skills. Let me know if
you are interested to join me. Bye!

Your best friend,

Damia Zara
