Model Answer:
Generally, people in Malaysia drink water to meet their thirst and sometimes 
they take some soft drinks as well like Kickapoo, Fruit Tree, Ice Mountain, and 
Freedom Cola etc. But I prefer to have chocolate milk as my soft drink. 
People drink soft drinks most of the cases when they are out of their home and 
need to meet their thirst for water. But interestingly, instead of water, they 
prefer the soft drink. But I do not take such soft drinks as those are made with 
different chemicals which are highly detrimental to the human health. Most of

the soft drinks are filled with gases and some chemicals which are mostly used 
to prepare insecticides and other chemical substances. It has been found that 
the elements used in the soft drinks and the substances used for toilet cleaner 
are almost the same. Once I used to take the soft drinks when I went for outing 
with my buddies but as I came to know about the harmful impacts of the soft 
drinks, I started avoiding them. Instead, I have made chocolate milk as my 
personalised soft drink. It is healthy and also keeps me strong. 
Making chocolate milk at home is a bit troublesome and thus I have to buy it 
from stores. There are different brands of chocolate milk which are available in 
Malaysia and all of them are prepared with necessary precautions. But often 
my mum makes chocolate milk for me but the taste becomes different. She 
adds sugar with milk, adds some liquid chocolates with the blend of sugar and 
milk and then she adds some cocoa powder. She blends all the ingredients into 
a blender. But I think she makes a mistake here and thus the taste is a bit 
different from those I buy from the stores. Usually, chocolate milk preparation 
needs sugar powder but my mum uses the sugar without making it powder. So, 
often I have to grind the sugar with my teeth when I drink the homemade 
chocolate milk. 
Drinks are popular among the Malaysian but since this is a Muslim country, 
hard drinks are banned here, though one can manage those with investing 
some efforts. But a majority of the people here do not drink the hard drinks 
rather they prefer the soft drinks. In fact, people of all ages take soft drinks 
which are mentioned above but very few of them take chocolate milk. They 
believe that chocolate milk is only for children as it tastes like chocolate. But 
they have a completely wrong idea. In fact, chocolate milk is filled with protein 
and minerals necessary for the human body. Milk is enriched with all the 
necessary elements that form the human body while chocolate also has some 
food value than the chemicals used to prepare the soft drinks. Besides, the 
chocolate milk is tastier than the other drinks I have tasted so far. 
Unfortunately, most of the people are unable to understand the benefits of 
chocolate drinks and thus the number of people drinking chocolate milk is 
fewer. 
I prefer chocolate milk for numerous reasons. The first and most important 
thing is that chocolate milk is a kind of fluid that helps to serve protein in the 
body which is helpful for muscle repair. When someone works for long, a glass 
of chocolate milk is able to replenish the damages caused by the physical 
labour. It restores energy on a human body and preparation process is also less

complex than the other drinks, especially soft drinks. Chocolate milk is 
available everywhere and the taste of the drink is delicious. Milk is considered 
a recovery option for people of every age but there are some people who do 
not prefer to have milk and chocolate milk is a potential drink for them. They 
will drink it for its exceptional taste and thus their deficiencies will be refilled 
shortly. In fact, chocolate milk is highly important for preserving a good health. 
Thereby, chocolate milk is my favourite drink.
