Dear 1C students,
5 months have elapsed like a wink and I vividly remember the first time I entered the
classroom. Some of you were waiting patiently for your English teacher while others were
chatting timidly with one another. Before I began to speak, I wanted us to know each other
well so to create a warm learning atmosphere. And we did, to which I am thankful.
Without a friendly ambiance, I doubt we could have so much fun, could we?
Do you still recall our Unit 2 (Family Matters) project presentation? I learnt so much about
all of you. I was intrigued by some of your wonderful presentation and speaking skills. Not
only that, I was also impressed by the outstanding writing ability most of you have. You
never fail to amaze me when you submit your compositions after each unit. They are
wonderful and lively. Sometimes, I wonder how you could express yourselves so well in
your writing.
Not only are you all capable in expressing yourself through writing but you all, my dear 1C
students, are marvelous in speaking too. Ask yourself if you are satisfied with your Choral
Speaking Competition? I admit the practices were harsh and frequent but none of you
complained. You continued and endured. In fact, most of you were the art-directors,
suggesting me to incorporate certain actions in the performance. Without your input, I
don’t think our performance would entail so many gestures and actions. Don’t forget, we
won the overall second-runner-up position. It is you, 1C, who taught me about Choral
Speaking and I am sincerely thankful to all of you.
Lastly, I am looking forward to our many new experiences in the second term, some of
which includes the funny short ghost story project, cosplay, etc. I can’t wait for another
round of fun, can you? Let us all join hands and produce some momentous experiences
and memories. Let’s go 1C!
Your-forever-awesome-English-teacher,
Miss Amina (Miss A ☺)

A Diary Entry about My Interview with
a Family Member ASIF AHFAQ MEHMOOD
Dear Palar Diary,
I interviewed Asif. He is my father. He lives with me. He’s
tall and strong. He is married. He works in a company. I
interviewed my father because I want to know more
about my father.
First we spoke about what games he played growing up.
And he said at that time, most of the people played
cricket and cricket was very famous. And I learned there
weren’t many games.
After that, I asked him where he went to school. He
studied in Pakistan. It was a small city next to his village.
The city was called Chakwal. They had to walk to school.
Because at that time there was not enough money. I have
learnt that we are very lucky that we have money and
school.
P.3
Next, we talked about where and when he got married.
They got married in Pakistan. So they decided to go to
Hong Kong.
Finally, the interview was over. It was nice to know more
about my family member. I have learnt many things
before which I didn’t.

A Diary Entry about My Famous Visit DACANAY JULIAN KRISTOPHER G.
Dear Diary,
Last week, I went to Hong Kong to do a concert! I will
actually do 3 more concerts in 2 weeks. My last concert
was on the 23rd December. And I will do one more
tomorrow and two more next week. Since I’m singing
the same song for the next 3 concerts, I feel more
confident NOT to mess up.
When I arrived in Hong Kong, I thought there would not
be a lot of fans waiting for my arrival, but apparently,
there were hundreds! It was all basic stuff when I
arrived, pictures, autographs etc. I didn’t expect that
many people but luckily, I booked a resort to stay for
one night and relax there instead of doing something
special.
P.5
The next day, I had to go to a press conference before
the concert which in my opinion was pretty boring and
since it was so boring, I didn’t even care about the
interviews. I just skipped it. I didn’t care.
Finally, we did the concert. It only took an hour until it
finished.
Yours rightful owner,
Julian

An Informal Letter about My Visit to
Another Country DIO ADRIAN DERRICK TAMBASEN
Dear Alfred,
How are you? I’m at Macau at the Galaxy Hotel. I’m here
with my parent and my siblings. We’re here because my
mom always planned to go to Macau. So her friends told
her that, Galaxy Hotel has lot of things to do. You can go
shopping, eat in the most beautiful restaurant and swim at
the wave pool. We came here by ferry. The ferry was fast
and jumpy. It felt like the Ocean Park ride called Leaf Frog.
After the ferry ride, we rode on a coach that brought us to
the hotel. It was a thirty minute ride and the good thing
was that there was an English tour guide.
We visited the shopping centre. There was a car display of
the latest electric powered car. We took pictures of it. In the
morning, we booked for our room and we finished breakfast
at the Galaxy food center we had
P.7
New York Fries. In the afternoon, we swam at the wave
pool. The wave was big but sometimes small. We hanged
around my room at the end. So we ordered room service.
The food was not so good. In the evening, we went
shopping at the shopping centre. It wasn’t fun but my sister
and mom had fun.
I am waiting for your reply.
With love,
Adrian

A Diary Entry about My Interview
with a Family Member EMBUSCADO JESHUA JUSTIN MARIANO
Dear Diary,
I interviewed my mom weeks ago but I’m just writing it
now because I was busy and tired but now I have lots
of time to write it. Anyway, I interviewed my mom; her
name is ‘Maria Jina Mariane Embuscade’. I asked about
her personal information, family background, school
years, marriage, children and WORDS of WISDOM. I
think my mom’s past was more interesting than my
dad’s …. Joke.
First we spoke about her family background and
personal information. I had to ask what was the earliest
childhood memory, when and where she was born, etc.
I learned the life in the past, she even told me about
how her older sisters would get new things then after
P.9
years, and it will be given to her to save money because
our family wasn’t rich but could afford to buy food or
pay for rentals. My mom told me how thankful I should
be to live in this generation. Thank God for that!
After that, I asked about my mom’s school life. She told
me her school names, from primary school to university.
I was shocked to hear how near her schools were. I
wish Hip Wo was just 15 minutes away! I wanted to
know if we have the same favourite subjects, and we do!
She said she loved English, Music and Social Studies. My
mom was telling jokes in some parts of the interview
which was really entertaining!
Next, we spoke about her marriage, about her children
(Arjie, Hannah and I) and her WORDS of WISDOM!
Amazing, my mom and dad met in a church (Christian).
My mom and dad eventually became friends and started
going out for lunch. It was so ROMANTIC when my dad
visited my grandparents and mom’s house one
afternoon. He asked if he could marry my mom even
P.10
though she is 7 years older than him! I almost forgot to
tell you, Diary, that my mom said that she was so proud
when she gave birth to the three of us. They told me
that it was good listening to their parents to prepare for
the future and I think they made a great job in raising
us three.
Finally, the interview was a success! We even had fun in
the process of making this entry. I got to spend time
with my mom and to ask about her life in the past.
Knowing how strict my grandparents were, I didn’t
know my mom could be so funny even though she
could be scary and too perfect sometimes. I really loved
the part when my dad asked my mom to MARRY him. It
was really enjoying to know and learn somebody’s past.
HOW AMAZING!

A Diary Entry about My Interview
with a Family Member ESPIRITU ELLYZA JOYCE
Dear Diary,
Today was interesting! I learned so many things. I
interviewed my mother. I am interviewing her for my
project/ homework. I learned so many new things
about my family tree. I wasn’t able to interview my
extended family since they are all in the Philippines.
First, we spoke about her earliest childhood memory
which was amazing and enjoyable to hear. She told me
she went to a river and she caught so much fish (or
minnows she sometimes call it).
After that, she told me about her school life. She had to
take something that is attached to a bicycle. Weird thing
is, I took a ride with my mom in the Philippines.
P.12
She told me something about relationships and
marriage. She also told me trust is important and vital
to relationships. Without trust, you can’t do anything
about it if you don’t have trust.
The interview was interesting and I was able to extend
my knowledge more. I had an enjoyable time with her.

The past me, Joyce

Dear Usain Bolt,
My name is Etisam. I am 12 years old and I am a Muslim
Pakistani. I study in Delia Memorial School (Hip Wo). I live
in Kwun Tong and I have been living here since I was born.
I am helpful and like to help others. I am also a very
sociable person and I am friendly too.
I have a lot of interests and hobbies. As I am sporty and
adventurous, I like playing football and cricket. I am better
in cricket than football. I like going hiking and going to
theme parks. I always try new ideas and I am not scared of
them. I have gone to many cricket competitions. What are
your hobbies and interests? Are they same as mine?
My old primary school was Hong Kong Taoist Association
Wun Tsuen School. It was small but more beautiful than my
secondary school. In our primary school, we had more
P.14
clubs than secondary school. It had Takewundo Club, Karate
Club and Drama Club. The secondary school toilet is always
unclean; it’s dirty. The tuck shop is big and it has more food
than primary tuck shop. In primary, we had lunch at school.
Here, we can go outside to have lunch. Is your secondary
school different than your primary school?
I have a new friend in secondary school. He is a boy and he
is Pakistani. I came to school on the first day and I asked
him where my class. He told me and we became friends. He
is sporty and playful. He is in school cricket team. He is
always doing tricks on others. I seldom do it. He is same as
me because I am sporty too. I always play football with him.
Do you have a new friend?
You are my first pen friend. I like to meet you in the future.
I wish you were living in Hong Kong so I could meet you.
Can you tell me about your life at secondary school and
yourself? I am looking forward for your reply.
From,
Elisam

Dear James,
I am in New York, USA! And I am loving it! I am here
with my family because it’s summer and we were all
free, so I asked dad to take us to USA and here we are.
The plane flight was so boring that I slept the whole
time. (OK, maybe I did watch a few movies, so what?)
Yesterday, we visited the Statue of Liberty and it’s so
beautiful and very big, even in the inside. We went to
the top and saw the beautiful sea. After that, we went
to the Museum of Modern Art, which was boring but the
food outside the museum was great! I saw some guys
playing skateboard (Not in the museum, mind you). I
thought it was so cool but my mom did not think so. We
went back to our hotel and we did the most amazing
thing…we slept before changing our clothes!
P.16
We visited the Central Park Zoo today. There were so
many animals and birds there, it was my kind of place. I
loved watching the birds most because they were so
colorful! Then we went to central park which was so
cool and clean! It was beautiful with so many trees. I
was just watching the city’s night lights through my
hotel window, it’s so cool.
We will visit Darien Lake tomorrow. It is an amusement
park. I heard it’s so cool. There I wan to go on all the
rides like the Ride of Steel, Mind Eraser etc. I want to go
to our hotel late and sleep after a long day.
We will return to Hong Kong on the 15th of December. I
will bring a small replica of the Statue of Liberty because
I know how much you like Statues. I will meet you on
16th December in Jordan Park. Bye!
Best Wishes,

very far from my school. So it takes me 30 minutes to
get to Kwun Tong. I am a Pakistani and I came from
Pakistan, Lahore.
I’m very sporty and adventurous person. Besides that,
I’m very brave and like to do hiking, climbing and
mountain cycling. I also want to climb Mount Cook or
Mount Everest. I want to be a cricketer or an actor
when I grow up. In my free time, I like to play
computer games or chat on Facebook.
My new school is very good and we also have strict
teachers and nice and polite teachers. There are lots of
differences between my primary school and secondary
P.18
school, such as more activities, more new subjects like
Soc and JT. I need to be more attentive and subjects
are very hard. I also need to be very hard-working.
My new friend is David. He is very sporty and studies in
5A. He is sometimes hard-working and attentive. He’s
also very friendly, good at studies. He likes playing
cricket too much and he’s in the hard-ball cricket team.
Now, I think you’re bored reading these paragraphs so I
won’t write anymore. Can you tell me about your new
friend, your studies, your hobbies and your new school?
Could you also tell me about your family background
and your life style? Bye for now.
Yours Sincerely,

Hey there Nina! Wow, I never thought staying here in
California would be awesome! Right now, I’m staying at

watching TV. Sadly, she’s watching ABC news right now.
I don’t like watching news because it’s boring. So that’s
why I decided to write to you. So, let’s get started!
Yesterday, my family and I arrived here at the airport.
My auntie and my cousin, Dianne were there to pick us
up. They had a big smile on their faces. I haven’t seen
Auntie Susan and Dianne since I was one and a half
year old. Wow! In the afternoon, we went to a lot of
new places and took photos. Mom took countless photos!
Then in the evening, we went to a restaurant and some
local cuisines. Dianne and I didn’t eat a lot, but Mom,
P.23
Dad, Auntie Susan and my little brother, Carlos sure did
a lot! After, we finally went to Auntie Susan and
Dianne’s home. Their house was really huge.
So today morning, I woke up at 8 a.m. and took a
morning shower. Then I asked Dianne if I can borrow
her bicycle. It was fun cycling around the streets. Then I
decided to just stay at home for the rest of the day.
Oh! Dianne is asking me out to go and buy something
at Walmart with her. I want to hang out with her all day!
Well, I guess I’ll write to you soon!

lag and also feeling sleepy so I almost slept in the car
when we were going to the hotel.
In the morning, I wear a hippie-style outfit because it
was a very hot day and it was a gift from my

took a photo of me, my uncle and aunt. In the
afternoon, we went swimming and it was fun. In the
evening, we ate a huge dinner in the hotel and played a
game called “Copycat”. It was an amazing day.
P.25
The next morning, we went to a big shop for shopping
and the shop was huge with different kinds of food and
drinks. In the afternoon, we tried local food like burned
cashew and it was yummy. In the evening, we took lots
of photos of every single place we were interested in.
We enjoyed ourselves.
Today, I went to a theme park at 9:00 am in the
morning and came back to the hotel at 8:00 pm. It was
a fabulous day and rides were fun and also scary. It was
a food heaven restaurant because the food was fabulous.
Today I am writing this to you. I will return to Hong

Diary entry about My Interview with

Dear Pretty Diary,
A week ago, I interviewed my uncle Nizakat, who is my
father’s brother. I interviewed him about his family and
him. I choose him for my interview because he is
friendly and playful so I did not feel shy to ask questions.
First, I asked him a question about his earliest childhood
memories and he told be some interesting stories about
his childhood, but I selected one for the interview from
his responses, to my questions and how we speak to
interviewer.
After that, we spoke about his family background and
reason he came to Hong Kong. He told me one of the
reasons he came to Hong Kong was he liked buildings,
parks and other beauty of Hong Kong. By
P.27
asking questions about family background, I learned
many things which I never know about my family (e.g.
my great grandfather was killed by his friend because of
land problem)
Next, we talked about his children and he told me he
likes his all children but his younger son, Rahid and
younger daughter, Alviya. He likes them more than the
others. From his responses, I learned that every parent
like their children but still they like some of their children
more than others.
Finally, the interview was very good. Overall, I have a
good and interesting experience. After interviewing my
uncle, I learned a lot about my family. I interviewed
about 2 hours.

Dear Rafael,
I am a Form One student at Delia Memorial School (Hip Wo)
in Kwun Tong. But make sure you won’t get mixed up because
there are 2 or 3 Delias, so make sure it’s (Hip Wo) not MRC.
I am 13 years old. I am from Vancouver Canada. But now I
study in Hong Kong, because my dad said I am half Chinese
so I have to learn Chinese, the so called ‘中文’.
My hobbies are playing ice hockey, soccer, basket ball,
badminton and doing experiments like The Myth Buster. But
my favourite hobby would be singing and playing ice hockey.
I think you would like basketball like me because you may
have experienced something like this in your school before? I
was once in the basketball team and I am eager to know why
if you were in it. Are you in the team now?
I think my new school is definitely not as big as my old school
because my old school had really big playground, basketball
courts and 2 soccer fields. There is one thing I don’t
P.29
understand about Hong Kong schools: why are the schools in
Hong Kong so different from the other side of the country like
USA and Canada. In those 2 countries, students have lockers,
no uniform and canteen.
I have a new best friend because we have something others
don’t have. We used to chat a lot when we were seat-mates
but our class teacher, Ms Amina changed our seats, my
classmate was like “NOOO”! I don’t want to change seats. My
new seat-mate is so boring.
What my friend and I have in common is Maths because we
both like racing for the first when my Math teacher gives us
worksheets to do. For lunch, we would sometimes go to this
Chinese Restaurant and eat but we usually don’t order the
drink because after eating we would usually go to Gang Cha
and really, the drinks there are so refreshing.
Well, I never knew he would be my good friend but life is
mysterious, right? I wish to know more about you and your
new school, friends.
Sincerely,
Bosco

write about my interview with my cousin. I have to
interview him for our school project.
First, we talked about his childhood. It wasn’t really
interesting it was kind of weird and boring but he is very
childish, after-all we were talking about his childhood. It
was all about army gun blah blah and etc. I also saw
some of his childhood guns and his recent teenagers
gun models.
Then we talked about his family and his favourite
childhood memories. His family background is awesome.
His parents let him go to the Army. I also learnt some of
P.31
our background at the end. I am excited to know more
about him, especially his reason for joining the US
marines.
Next, we talked about marriage which he did not
married yet. He talked about his experience of getting a
driver license and buying lots of gears for his new car.
He said he wishes to travel around the world in that car.
He wants to become a journalist too and so I told him I
wanted to be a head chef or a USMC (US Marines). My
dad is a chef in England.
Interviewing my cousin was a great fun and memorable.
I learned new stuff and interesting parts of our family

Dear Rozanne,
Hey there, this is my second day at LA Rochelle. I came
here with my friends (also known as “sisters”), there are
four of us together.
Yesterday, in the morning, we reached LA Rochelle at
11:00 a.m. I was very tired of sitting down in the plane
for hours.
In the afternoon, we were in a five star hotel. It name
Hotel Camping, The bed was soft as I was sleeping on
cotton. And we had buffet for lunch.
In the evening, we ate less. It was because we ate a lot
for lunch. We ate noodles instead. And we went for a
long walk after dinner. We took some pictures.
P.33
This morning was fun! We went sight-seeing in Vieux
Port. It’s an old harbor, which is at the heart of the city,
picturesque and line with restaurants in Vieux Port.
Now it’s 6 o’clock here. I wish you were here with us.
Now I’m packing up to go to the beach. My friend from
other countries say that on the beach at night, there are
many hot and cute boys. I wish they will be really cute.
It’s because yesterday when I was going back to my
hotel room, I met a cute guy.
He came towards me and then he started introducing
himself. I asked who is he waiting for, he said that he
was waiting for his boy friend. I was shocked, I thought
I would get a chance but he wasn’t the kind of boy a girl
would want.
Now let’s move on to our trip. Shall we? We are going to
visit a big old church near the hotel tomorrow. They say
that, the priest there gives blessing and makes our
wishes come true.
P.34
In the afternoon, we will go to watch a magic show
called “Francofolies”! My friends say that they wanted to
watch the show. If they didn’t tell me about this show,
we will miss the whole fun.
Finally in the evening, we will go for a short walk and
take some pictures for memories in a nice beautiful park.
After that we will pack up and drive to the airport, to go
back to Hong Kong.
I will some gifts for my friends. I have a special gift for
you. I will meet you on the 19th Feb, 2012 in the
afternoon for lunch. Bye for now

Dear plain white school paper that I ‘m now calling a
“diary”.
I will talk about my project task #2(the interview). I
actually did ask my mom questions first but her answers
are like so corny and dramatic and I have to admit that I
want a better, cooler and simple one so I went online on
Facebook and it’s a miracle that my cousin ‘Ragesun’ is
online and so I started to ask him “Paparazzi-ish”
questions.
First, we talked about his childhood. I can truly say he
get a very simple but elegant one before. His father can
actually afford all the things he asked for but he wasn’t
that kind of kid who asks for every thing in this world. The
funny thing is that he only likes going to Lola’s house
where all my cousins are complete to play XBOX
P.36
with them and at the same time, eat with them. P.S.: Lola
has this mini-store, and he gets stuff he want for free.
Then we went on, to the part where we talked about his
neighborhood school. He replied me an annoyed face and
started to blabber and stuff about B.U.H.S. I was about to
reply him back a big “I don’t care” but I’m afraid that he
might get pissed at me and started to not talk to me so I
tried to control myself and chill.
I moved on to the next part. The most exciting, freaking,
horrible one. Well maybe I shouldn’t really ask things
about his love life but I did. While I was waiting for his
reply—I was kind of shaking but when I saw his message,
I stood up, proud because he didn’t get mad AT ALL! His
girlfriend’s name is Jhen, He mentioned that she’s very
sweet, loving, caring and smart and annoying at times
and that’s what make her special. I got all out because
honestly, I don’t know so many things about love so I
blabbered about like {children} to be. He set up rules…
which obviously sucks.
P.37
I learned one thing. “What’s the use of money after you
die? When your bodies not in this world and you got
nothing to buy in the after life?” All you have to do is live
life and enjoy the ride.
Bye diary, I have to go somewhere with Kuyu Aaron. Take
care! Don’t get ripped off by Ms Amina and my other
classmates. Good luck. I hope you earn me marks.

A Diary Entry about My Interview
with a Family Member MENDOZA RAFAEL LUIS JARIOL
Dear Diary.
I interviewed my parents for my family presentation. I
interviewed them because they are my oldest family
members here in Hong Kong.
First, we talked about my dad’s childhood. “When I was
young, my favourite subject is Math. It’s my best
subject. And it’s also our family’s favourite subject
almost every Mendoza is good at Math” my father
explained. On my mother’s side, my mom side is not
rich, but they have a farm in the province.
After that, I asked about their studies. “I finished
university. I worked really hard to help my mom when
my father passed away. She’s the only one working.
Also my older brother. We help our mother to pay for
P.39
our sisters’ school fees,” my dad replied. I can’t tell what
my mom will say because she was busy.
Next, we spoke about my dad’s family. My dad said, “I
met your mom at a store and I always buy stuff there
just to see her, until she became my girlfriend. And after
years has past, we got married. Then we had two
children. You and your brother.”
Finally, the interview was finished. It was interesting to
learn the past of my parents. Wish they tell me more!

Another Country MOHAMMAD UMASSH AHMAD
Dear Kamal,
Day #1
I am in Spain. I am with my cousins and friends. I’m
here because I want to meet the real Madrid team and
especially Cristiano Ronald, OMG. Cristiano Ronald is my
favourite football player and Real Madrid dressing room.
I came here on 28th December, 2012 because on 29th
December it was my 14th Birthday. I’m so excited.
In the morning, I went to Madrid in Spain. Like I told
you, I wanted to meet the Real Madrid team and
Cristiano Ronaldo, I met the Real Madrid team and
Ronaldo. I took some photos and autographs from all
the Real Madrid players and Cristians Ronaldo. Then I
went back to the Ritz Madrid Hotel.
P.41
Day #2
I visited Real Madrid football team stadium play against
their rival Barcelona. The match was 2-1 because of
Ronaldo, Madrid won. It was an interesting match; he
scored in the last minute. Then I went to see the Real
Madrid dressing room. I bought some souvenirs and a
football. In the evening, I went back to the Ritz Hotel
and we ate lots of food. The food was very delicious.
Now I will visit Plaza Mayor in Madrid, Spain. I
researched about it on the internet. It is a very
interesting place to visit in Christmas. I will take my
digital camera so I can take photos of the Statue. In the
afternoon, I will visit the Palacio Real (The Royal Palace).
This palace is the biggest palace in Europe with over
2000 rooms. I really think I will take photos of it
because it’s a very famous place in Madrid, Spain. In the
evening, I will visit the museum and it’s next to the Ritz
Madrid Hotel where I live. The museum was opened in
1891, it’s very old museum. I’m definitely going to visit
it because I can know more about old Spain and I will
P.42
take photos. Then after seeing everything in Museum I
will go back to Hotel and take my luggage and go to the
airport.
I will return to Hong Kong on 31st December, 2012. I
will bring some football souvenirs and some special
football clothes for my friends because most of my
friends like to play football. I will meet you on 1st
January, 2013 in the New Year.

A Diary Entry about my Interview
with a Family Member MORAN KEVIN PETER 莫凱文
Dear Diary,
I interviewed my mom. I interviewed her at night. It
took a long time. It was hard and tiring at first. She
talked about it person.
First, we talked about what is the earliest childhood
memory. Her earliest childhood memory was sleeping
with her mum and cooking in the morning. Then we
talked about the different personalities her family
members had and what kind of games did my mom
played.
I did not know about this, she never said a thing about
it but she only told me about scary things for some
reason.
P.45
Next, we spoke about where did my mom went to
school. My mom said the school was very near. It takes
about five minutes to walk there. It’s like my primary
school.
The interview was very interesting. She told me a lot of
new things. She did not tell me a thing about her love
life though!

A Pen-Pal Letter MOSOT MYKA DANIELLE
Dear Kate,
Hey there best friend! As you know, I’m here in Los Angeles
with Jasha and My family. It sucks that your mom didn’t let
you come with us! I forget to tell you that this whole trip
was by birthday present as I came here on my birthday,
July 6. Today was my second day here and we’re leaving
tomorrow. And if you wanted to know, we’re staying at
Jasha’s house.
On our first day, we went to Disney World in the morning.
(You’re free to be jealous! Haha!) then we went to Long
Beach to watch the sunset. The sunset was so pretty, this is
gonna sound cheesy but it was like. I was in a picture of a
romantic-fish part of a movie. In the evening, we went to
this random side street which was full of shops that sell
their local cuisine, we tried like everything in every shop
there. (Mostly me and Jasha! Haha!)
P.47
We went to this museum yesterday morning and personally,
I thought that the art there was sort of weird. Kind of like
half-done art. In the afternoon. We went on a city tour on a
bus in the heart of L.A. It was fun when the wind was
blowing my hair out of my face though... (It made me feel
like a model! Haha!). After sunset we went on a boat trip.
We prepared our food so we ate there. To be honest,
thought it was pretty boring.
We’re going to go cycling around Long Beach tomorrow
after sunrise. When the sun is shining bright in the
afternoon, we’re going to Universal Studios. I’m so excited
to go there and ride some of the rides there. Finally, we’ll go
to a mall near Jasha house and buy souvenirs. (Jasha and I
will just buy clothes for ourselves)
I have to go now, we’re going cycling pretty early tomorrow.
My mom’s yelling at me to go to sleep now but remember
I’m returning to Hong Kong at the ninth and I’ll bring you a
souvenir because you’re my best friend and I love you! So
I’ll see you on the ninth in the airport! Love and miss you!

An Informal Letter of Advice MUHAMMAD ANS
Dear Chris,
I think you should buy a new bicycle because you are
really good at it. You can even ride it to go to school
because your new secondary school is near your home,
right? The bicycle will only take you around 20-25
minutes. You can even save $6 per day by not going to
school by bus. You might even miss your bus but with
your bicycle, you don’t have such a problem.
If you don’t want to buy the bicycle then you can buy an
I-Phone 5. Well, it is not too good if you always use it
but it is useful for your studies sometimes. For example,
if you don’t know a word, you a search the internet on
your phone at that moment. Also, you will look rich
having one.
P.49
I also got one more nice idea for you. You can buy
football shoes. You are really good at football so you can
kick the football more properly. You would also need it if
you join the football team in your school. Your coach will
tell you to buy it. Can you team me which football
player you like?
I hope you would like my all my three ideas. I really
think you should buy an I-Phone 5. Anyways, it’s your
choice. I wish I were you because you are so lucky.
Best,
Pat

with a Family Member NG CASEY BATONG 黃基斯
Dear KC diary,
I interviewed my dad for the family interview. He’s fifty-
one years old now. The interview went well, at least he
answered very clearly.
First we spoke about his childhood. The best question I
asked him was “what games did you play when you
were little?” He told me he would roll down grassy
slopes, and was his favourite game at that time. And
that’s also the reason I got some bruises in the park
yesterday, Haha!
After that, I asked dad where he got my brother’s and
my name. He said “Your brother was named after your
grandfather and your name…I got it from a singers
name which that singer was singing and there was his
P.51
name on the screen while I was thinking of your name.”
Then I asked “when did you marry mom?” “In 1999-
late 1999”
Lastly, we spoke about what was the best thing that
happened in his life. He told me to have a good wife and
children were the best thing that happened in his life.
To me, this interview let me know more about my
father and his history, I think. This interview was really
worthwhile.

A Pen-Pal Letter PUN REJINA
Dear Charlyn,
Hi! I am Rejina from Delia Memorial Secondary School
(Hip Wo). I am a 12- year-old Nepalese girl who lives in
Hong Kong. I have four family members. They are
father, mother and my elder brother. My brother thinks
that I am annoying because I always talk to him at
home. So, he also thinks I am annoying at school
because I am shy. I also speak so soft at school but I
speak loud outside school.
Sometimes, when I have free time I will go to the
school library. I will borrow interesting books. I usually
borrow the Chinese books about some famous people
like the people who get the Nobel Prize or people like
Gandhi; because I think it is interesting. I often go to a
football field near my home with my friends. We usually
play catching games. I always make new friends in the
P.54
football field. They are from Nepal, China and Africa. We
use Chinese, English and Nepalese to speak together. It
was fun to play them. How about you? Do you like to go
out and play?
My new secondary life is hard but fun. Before, I need 30
minutes to go to primary school. But I need about an
hour to arrive at my secondary school. In my class, my
classmates are new. They all didn’t come from the same
school as me. In the lunch time, the canteen is always
full. I always need a long time to buy lunch and the
main reason is the queue. The washroom is smelly. My
friend said someone has seen a ghost on the 6th floor
toilet! But I don’t believe it. I wonder where she heard
it from. Do you believe it?
I have mad new friends. Let me tell you two of them.
First is Changmi. Every morning during school days we
wait for each other the MTR and go to school together.
Changmi always ask me to treat her. She is funny,
friendly and bossy (when we play games). The other is
P.55
Caitlin. She goes to school by bus. She shares things
with others and borrow money to others. I think Caitlin
is kind and friendly. She is a good friend. I am lucky to
have Caitlin and Changmei to be my friends.
Sorry, I think I wrote too much and boring. But I wish
you can know more about me from this letter. I want to
ask you some questions. How is your secondary school?
Do you like it? Did you make any new friends there?
Feel free to reply my letter to tell me your answer! I
hope to read your letter!
Best wishes,
Rejina

Dear Steve, (AKA my boyish diary)
How are you? I am very sorry I haven’t written to you
for a long time. I’ve been very busy lately. One reason is
because of my project about my family tree. I had an
interview with my mom as my second task. Would you
like to know more about it? Well, you don’t have much
of a choice now do you?
First of all, we spoke about my mom’s so called,
personal information. I was told that she lived in a poor
family, and that being the elder sister on her family, she
had to cook, clean and look after her siblings.
After that, we spoke about her marriage. I learned that
my mom met my dad in a bus terminal and their
friendship turned into a relationship.
P.57
Finally, we spoke about her words of wisdom. Her words
of wisdom were a family that prays together, should
always stay together. My family takes religion extremely
seriously and that it is more important than school work
etc. But we do still need go to work and school, as long
as it doesn’t interfere with worship services.
Well, my mom needs me now. I’ll write to you later, see
you soon! Please win me marks.

Nicholas

I have many hobbies. Do you have one? Let me tell you my
hobbies. I like many hobbies such as playing badminton and
cricket. I also like subjects such as Maths and Science. I just
love reading so much that I go to the library every week. I
also like to try different kinds of food. Such as Spanish and
spicy food! I also play the recorder and drums. I also like
singing!
My school has many activities, teachers and lots of students.
It has many facilities like the science and biology laboratory,
a gymnasium for exercising and a library for reading books
to gain knowledge. The difference between primary and
secondary school is you should have more responsibilities
and there’s a lot of homework. Don’t get short-tempered
P.61
easily because of the workload. My school is in Kwun Tong
and my school’s name is Delia Memorial School (Hip Wo).
Oh, I almost forgot. I got a great friend and his name is
Etisaam and he’s very responsible and very sporty. He is
very good on academics and we both like reading and we
also help each other very often. We also talk to each other
almost every-day. But my teacher says to stop talking
sometimes! You know a secret? In this school, my class
keeps calling my name!
I hope your school has many activities just like mine. I hope
your new school life starts with a fruitful start! I want you to
play hard and mostly make new friends fast. Haha… just
joking. Do you know the boys’ toilet stinks after lunch in my
school? If you have any funny things to talk about, please
don’t hesitate. If you have questions about secondary
school, please don’t hesitate to ask! Anytime.

awesome is that! She says hi to you. I ‘m in London because I
wanted to visit my relatives and explore the world, so far
United Kingdom is quite fun. I just come here this morning
yet I’m still energetic!
Yesterday I just came back from Bagiuo City, my hometown.
It was kind of fun seeing my cousins again after seven years.
In the morning, I went out with my mom. She bought me a
new guitar! The guitar was printed with Spongebob in the
background, and you know how much I love Spongebob!
Then I met my cousin’s best friend, Jeremy. He was kind of

guitar professionally for such as young age.

Reflection of My Most
Challenging Moment TORRES ERIPRANDO JR
My most challenging moment would be in my primary
school. I went home by bus in my primary school before
once. I was walking to my building a long walk. Finally I got
there. I walked up the stairs and really tired and stressed
out. I was sweating then I was searching my bag for my
keys. I then searched all over again. Good thing I have my
phone with me. So I called my mom but she didn’t answer
so I call my dad. Same thing, he wouldn’t answer.
I went to my auntie’s house and stayed there for an hour.
Soon my mom answers the phone and my auntie said I
didn’t have the key, so my mom said “OK. I’ll ask his dad to
go and get him”. So I waited down the stairs at my house.
My dad opened the door. I got in and my bag was so heavy
which I carried for the whole time. And I just found out my
keys were in my shirt pocket all this time. I was so
disappointed.

How you doing?! I went to Paris a couple of days ago. I
really wish you were with us. I was with my besties!
Haha! There’s a really funny story why we went to Paris!
We went there to, of course, have fun and …Meet some
hot boys! I’ve been told that there were a ton of cute
boys in Paris! This trip was so special to me because firstly,
we went there on 12-12-12. I mean like we never get to
see 12-12-12 again because there isn’t another, another
month after December. So we have to treasure the
chance la!
Our first day in Paris was a little bit boring because all we
did was chill in the hotel the whole morning. But the view
on our balcony was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! So it was worth it.
We spent our afternoon looking at paintings in “Louvre
Museum”. It was spell bounding and in the evening, we
P.67
went to a fancy French restaurant. We ate this thing
called “Escargot”. I’m telling you, if you ever go to Paris
NEVER TRY ESCARGOT! It’s just so slimy that it gives
goose-bumps when you swallow it! But hey! You gotta try
new things because you only live once. Wow! What a
mainstream word of wisdom!
Ugh! Day 2 of our Paris trip was just a dream come true! I
feel so relieved looking at the tasty food for breakfast
down our hotel. I forget to tell you that there was a buffet
down our hotel. We went to “Place de la Concorde. Seeing
that tall statue or sculpture thingy was the happiest
moment of my life! I always see “Place de la Concorde”
on the internet or the television. We rode the Ferris wheel
near it. We saw the wonderful view up there! I wish I was
with a cute guy because people (again) see that riding the
Ferris wheel at night is very romantic with someone
special. For dinner, we went to a café. We drank their
finest mocha. It was delicious.
The last day of our trip is also one of the best trip we ever
had so far. I forgot what we did in the afternoon. Oh yeah!
P.68
We went souvenir shopping. In the evening, we finally
went to see the Eiffel Tower. It was so beautiful to see it
at night! The lights were just so elegant and so alive.

Dear Martha,
I am in Hawaii. I am in a Hotel and 5-star hotel named
Hotel Hawaii. It is near a beach so I can go swimming you
know, I love swimming. I am in Hawaii. I am with my
family, my auntie is in the Philippines. She didn’t come
because she got a problem with her work.
On the first day, I visited the beach and did a lot of fun
stuff with my cousins. In the morning, I was very excited.
When we landed, I got more excited and when we got off,
I was jumping. In the afternoon, we went to the hotel
were staying right now. I put my bag down and took my
camera and ran outside with my cousin and we went to
the beach. In the evening we ate at the beach. We ate
pineapples, watermelons, while my uncles were surfing.
P.71
Today I visited a circus and I watched the performance. It
was a lot boring. In the morning, I woke up so early. I
found my uncle preparing stuff for the circus like water,
money and stuff. The circus was boring and annoying (for
me only). In the afternoon after lunch, we went back
home and went to the beach and watched the sunset. I
loved watching sunsets. In the evening, I don’t have a lot
to do because the adults are going out. (I don’t know
where) They told be to babysit my younger cousins. My
brother has lot to do and my elder cousins went outside.
Now I’m writing to you after I ‘m done babysitting. Now
they’re sleeping. I have some time now.
Tomorrow will visit a Hawaii restaurant and I will watch
the fine performance and stuff. In the morning I think
watch something and rest until the evening so I don’t
need to babysit again because the adults will be gone
again. Maybe I will be doing my holiday assignments so I
don’t need to worry about being scolded by teachers. I
will finish all my homework and study for exam (even I
don’t want to). Then I’ll watch the sunset again. As I told
you earlier in this letter, were going to Hawaii restaurant
P.72
and that will be a fine performance and stuff. I wish it will
not be boring so I don’t have a boring vacation.
I will return to Hong Kong on 16th December. I will bring

I’m in Hawaii right now and I’m having so much fun here.
I was inviting you to come with us but you refused to
come so it’s not my problem if you’re jealous. I’m with my
parents now in a resort. It’s not that huge but the stuff
here are very friendly. I’m here because of our Christmas
vacation, we planned this long time ago but it’s always
postponed because of their work. I come here on 12th of
December.
I visited the largest volcano here in Hawaii. We can’t get
near the volcano so we just took some photos around. It
was pretty boring. After we ate at a fabulous restaurant,
we went sight-seeing in a country park. It’s boring
because we didn’t get to explore the site a lot because we
were all tired. In the afternoon we went back to the hotel
P.74
and watched some entertaining organized by the hotel. At
least, it was interesting.
Tomorrow we are planning to go surfing with my cousins.
I wish I can just go surfing lone because my cousin is
super annoying. I wish he is not coming tomorrow. After
that, we are planning to buy souvenirs in the famous
souvenir shops near the surfing place but I’m afraid I
don’t have enough money to buy for you. Lastly, we are
going to have buffet for dinner. OH I can’t wait for
tomorrow.
I will be coming back to Hong Kong on 15th December.
Don’t forget to get my favourite jacket with you because
I’m sure it will be cold on that day. And also bring an

between your primary and secondary school? Tell me in
the future.
P.77
I have a new friend at school. His name is Casey. He is
very funny and knows how to make people laugh. He is
also very considerate. He always thinks of others. We
have one thing in common and that’s being helpful.
Sometimes we hang out and play.
That’s all I want to say for now. By the way, what’s
your name? Which school do you study at? Hope you
can write back.
Yours truly,
Aaron
