She usually chatted with her friends in her spare time. They usually went for picnics. She could sweep the floor. She could not travel to other countries.

When Mum was in Primary Four, she and her family lived in a small hut. There were not any tall buildings. In summer, the hut was very hot because there were not any air-conditioners at her home. There were not any supermarkets. Everybody bought food from the markets.

My mum likes reading books in her spare time so she is very smart now. Mum liked playing hide-and-seek with her friends, LiLi and Tony. She was very independent. She could do many things by herself. She could comb her hair, carry her school bag and wash her face but mum could not go to school by herself.

Mum said the environment was better when she was young. Everybody recycled the bottles, paper and metal. They always listened to folk music. I don’t like folk music because I think it is noisy! Mum likes watching opera. I like watching opera too! I think it’s funny.

‘Do you think life is better now?’ I asked. ‘Yes. Because I am very rich now!’ said Mum. Mum is funny. She is the funniest one I have ever seen.

My father usually read and did exercises in his spare time. He usually played hopscotch and hide-and-seek with his friends. He could go to school and pack his school bag. He couldn’t go to Hong Kong Island by himself.

Finally, he thinks life was better in the past because people were closer in contact when he was in Primary Four.

5E Chan Tsz Tan

I went to Tsim Sha Tsui with my parents and my younger brother last night. Mum was beautiful. She was the lady with the earrings and the necklace. Dad was the man in blue jeans. My younger brother was the boy with the umbrella. I wore a purple T-shirt. We went to the Avenue of the Stars. I said, ‘There are so many sculptures.’ We saw many hand prints too. I felt very happy.

Then a cold wind blow. I felt cold so mum gave me a scarf. I said, ‘The scarf is beautiful’. Mum said, ‘Yes, I bought it from a clothing store nearby.’

Suddenly, the scarf and the umbrella were blown away. Mum cried, ‘Oh no! The scarf and the umbrella are blown away!’ We tried to catch the scarf and the umbrella but we couldn’t.

I suddenly felt something was behind me. The sculpture moved. A sculpture of the Superman jumped up and caught the scarf and the umbrella. Dad said thank you to the sculpture and asked, ‘Um, are you a human?’ Superman said, ‘At first, I just wanted to scare you but your things were blown away so I needed to help you.’

It was a happy and surprising day because of the amazing experience.

5C Chan Tsz Ying

Last night, my family and I were very happy. We dressed up nicely. My mum was with the earrings and my dad was with his new glasses and watch. We went to the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui. We took photos of the sculpture of Bruce Lee. We also looked at the hand prints there. Dad asked, ‘Do you want to take a photo?’ Mum, John and I answered happily, ‘Sure!’ Dad said, ‘One! Two! Three! Smile.’

Ten minutes later, my mum bought a pretty scarf for me. It is long, soft and with heart prints. She asked, ‘Rebecca, do you like the scarf?’ I answered cheerfully, ‘I like it very much. It’s mine. It keeps me warm in winter. Thank you so much, Mum!’ I felt very happy.

After a while, it was windy. A strong wing blew off my new scarf. It flew on the sculpture. Mum said surprisingly, ‘Oh, no! That’s your new scarf!’ My brother John asked, ‘What happened? Where’s the scarf?’ Dad suggested, ‘We can’t get it back. Let’s go and buy another one.’ I felt upset.

Then, we went to the clothes shop to buy a new scarf. I said, ‘Oh, no!’ Mum asked, ‘What happened?’ I said sadly, ‘The heart printed scarves are all sold out. There is only one scarf with stars left! Can I buy it, please?’ Mum said, ‘OK!’ I was glad. After that, we went off for dinner.

I learnt that I should look after my things carefully.

Today I’m going to talk about a person I admire. The person I admire is my teacher. Her name is Miss Lee.

Miss Lee is thin and short. She has long hair and a round face. She was born in Hong Kong in 1980. The school which she was working cut down many posts of teachers, so he had to apply a new job. She was unlucky. She could not find a new job but she didn’t give up. At last, she found a post of English teacher.

Miss Lee loved her new job very much. She worked hard. Her students like her and her classes. Their English improved a lot. Last year, Miss Lee won the award of ‘Excellent Teacher’. All of us were very pleased.

Miss Lee didn’t give up when she had some problems. I admire her very much and I want to learn from her.

Hong Kong Wetland Park is a great place to visit. It is in Tin Shui Wai. We can see some plants and animals there. We can play in the kids’ playground. We can go there by light railway.

I have been there four times. I went there last month. I went there with my family. The weather was hot, so we wore T-shirts, jeans and hats.

First, we looked at the plants, animals and insects such as the special blue butterflies in the Butterfly Garden. Then, we went to the kids’ playground. My sister and I played on the slide. It was exciting.

At noon, we went to the restaurant and had our lunch. It was yummy. After that, we looked at the crocodile, Bei Bei. We watched some birds. Finally, we looked at the fiddler crabs and the common mudskippers.

Dancing makes me more lively and confident than before. If I become a dance teacher, I will teach my students the dance steps.

Dear Principal Lee,

We are writing this letter because the Charity Club would like to help Caring World to raise money for the poor children in the Third World. We think our ideas will help ease problems for the children there.

They are suffering from hunger. There is a drought so they cannot grow any plants. Therefore, there is not enough food. They are poor because their parents cannot get a job. They cannot drink the water because the water is too dirty. They are often sick because they do not have enough medicine and there are very few doctors.

We want to hold a fun fair on 13th December. On that day, we can sell some cookies, perform a drama and organize booth games. First, we need to make some posters so that the parents will know about this fun fair. Then we need to get some student helpers for performance or the games. We expect there will be around 500 people joining this event. We think we can raise one thousand dollars.

We hope you will be able to help us organize this charity event.

Yours sincerely, 6D Chan Ka Wing

Member of the Charity Club

Dear Pinocchio,

My name is Jenny. I am twelve years old. I come from Hong Kong. I am writing this letter because I am a big fan of you.

I admire you because you are a wooden puppet who can talk. I think you are dishonest and lazy. You tell lies to others. Luckily you become good and kind in the end.

If I were you, I would not tell lies. I would listen to Dad’s advice. I want to know the length of your nose. How long is it?

I am very excited to know you. If you have time, please write me back.

Best wishes, 6B Leung Ka Tsing Jenny
