74


Write your reasons.
1.

Hot tips

300ml – enough for me

2. RM1.30 – have enough money to buy
- cheaper than the two others
- can use my own pocket money

 Try to spend 25 minutes.
 Take extra care when
reading the instruction
and information.
 Give 5 reasons.

- the price is reasonable and affordable
3. Free items – share the free drinks with siblings or friends.
- could save budget / money
4. Fresh orange and sugar – healthy and refreshing drink
- orange contains a lot of vitamin C
- good for health
5.

Write complete sentences neatly and clearly in the space
given. Be careful with your spelling, grammar and punctuation.


75

I would choose orange juice because it is my favourite drink. It
contains vitamin C so it is good for health. It is a nutritious and

refreshing drink. It could quench my thirst. The price is
reasonable and affordable. I have enough money to buy it.
Although the orange juice comes in 300ml per tin, I think it is

still enough for me. I will get six tins of drinks and I could share
the drinks with my siblings and friends. This will save my budget.
Besides, it is packed in aluminium tin which is light and easy to take
to picnics or schools. Other than that, it is very easy to open and
it could be recycled. I can use the empty tin to make a pencil
holder and it would be nice to me. Based on these reasons I think
it is the best choice for me.
