the criteria / keywords.

1. 300ml enough for me

2. RM1.30 have enough money to buy

5. Write complete sentences neatly and clearly in the space

given. Be careful with your spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Hot tips

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


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.
