“There” has “here” inside it, reminding you it is a place. Eg: Farhanis’ house is over there.
“Their” has “heir” inside it, reminding you it is about possession. Eg: This is their house.
“They’re”, of course, is a contraction. Don’t let the apostrophe make you think it shows
possession (as it would with, say, Katie’s camera). Instead, the apostrophe should remind you it
stands for two words (they+are).

Last week, the English language society of SMKA Sharifah Rodziah go for a trip to Kuala Lumpur.
Every years, we will make a trip to a place as one of our activity. We went there by school bus on Tuesday,
2nd of August 2016. The amazing trip took about two hours and thirty minutes from our school to Kuala
Lumpur. About 40 students were involved in this trip while the teachers-in-charge were Madam Hasnita
and Madam Aqilah.
The aim of the of the trip was to let our club members to relax after examination. on 2nd of August
2016 at 7.00 a.m., we gathered at the school compound before getting into the bus. We started our
journey at 7.30 a.m. and arrived safely at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) at 10.00 a.m. At there,
we went to Aquaria. There were many types of fish such as shark, clownfish and even a giant sting ray.
We also bought some souviniers and took photos together.
After visiting Aquaria, we went to an orchard. At there, we were divided into three groups. Group
1 was taken by Encik Ali, the owner of Sukaria Orchard Farm to visited the orchards. Encik Ali gave some
advises on how to plant trees. On the other side, group 2 was taken by the orchard supervisor, Mrs Ng to
see and learn on how to make fruit jam while group 3 was led to the green house. In addition, we got
some knowledge about Malaysia’s fruit trees and how to take care of them.
The last place we visited was Beryl’s Chocolate Factory. We went there after spending about three
hours at the orchard. At the factory, we learnt on how to make good chocolate and delicious sweets. This
memorable experience was safely locked into our memories. Besides that, we also buy some chocolates
for family and friends. We got the chance to make our own chocolate of any flavour. The chocolates tasted
very much difference when we made them by ourself.
Finally, at the end of the trip, we started our journey back home at 8.00 p.m. and arrived at school
about 10.30 p.m. Although we were tired, but we were very happy. We also learnt many things through
this trip. Futhermore, we can got more closer to each other. We also shared good memories and
happiness together.

Words of wisdom:
1. “Your teacher has the right over you that you should honour him and pay him
respect in different assemblies. You should be very attentive to his words. You
should not raise your voice above his. You should not converse with others in his
presence, and you should allow people to benefit from his knowledge.”
–Imam Ja’fer as-Sadiq-
2. “The more knowledge you have, the humbler you should be. But sadly today, those
who know little, think they know it all. Fear arrogance!” -Mufti Ismail Menk-
3. “Success is a combination of two things; your efforts and Allah’s help.” –Ustadh
Nouman Ali Khan-
4. Learn from your past mistakes. Your mistakes are meant to guide you, not define
you.
