Question 4Read the letter from Aida to Shaheera
Hi Shaheera,Thank you so much for sharing some tips on digital
cameras and photography. I really appreciate your help. Now I have
a photograph of my pride and joy, Della, on my home desktop as a
screen saver. I even showed it to Della and guess what she did? She
put her paw on the screen and tried to catch the mouse that she
saw!I have just completed my Science project on our universe this
morning so now I have some time to myself. You know how I always
complain about how hot the afternoon are but now I have a better
understanding of it. Well, I found out that the Sun began to shine
4 500 million years ago. Experts believe it will continue to
produce heat for the next 6000 million years. It is true that it is
a very long time but what will happen to life on Earth if the Sun
finally stops shining? I am sure the green plants will die. What
about your school Science project? What topic have you
chosen?Anyway, do you remember Elfie, my neighbor? We certainly had
a wonderful time when you came here during the last school
holidays. Well, his father has been promoted and transferred to
Kelantan. Elfie and his family will leave at the end of the month.
I must admit that I feel unhappy about this.Will you be here again
during the next school holidays? I hope you can stay here for a
couple of days. I am looking forward to seeing you again. You
always make me laugh with your jokes and interesting stories.I
guess I have to stop here. Please convey my love to your parents
and siblings.Your cousinAida
