Dear cousin Asmat,

How are you getting on? How are Uncle Mat and Auntie Milah? I hope you and your family are in good health?
My family and I are in the pink of health. Thanks for your letter that I’ve received two days ago. I apologize for not writing you earlier. I’ve to attend the 3 nights and 2 days literature camp at Anguillia Beach House Resort. Oh yes, I almost forgotten about tips that you are seeking from me on how to pass the PMR with flying colours. Well, like me, I have carried out these since I was in Form One. Firstly, you must do you revision. Revise your subjects every day and never study at the last minute. A wise saying says; do not burn the midnight oil. If you do, you will unable to get the flying colours.
Secondly, you must make a personal time table. This is to help you schedule your study sessions. You are able to manage your time wisely. Practice makes someone perfect. Do not waste your time on anything that is useless like too much watching television programs, chatting on the phone cells or the internet, computer games and many more.
Thirdly, you can also study in a group. I think you have lots of friends who are like birds who fly together in a flock. You can discuss important topics among your group. If you find any difficulty, you can refer to your subject teachers. By doing this, can help you to understand better.
Last but not least, you must always be 100% fit. Eat and sleep well. You must take a balanced diet and have enough sleep. Follow the food pyramid and drink plenty of plain water. Rest and always do exercise daily. Think positively and cheer up! That’s and I have to pen-off. See you in the next letter.

Your cousin

Anita
