My Dream Festival

by 1C Kwan Wing Chee

My dream festival is a Free Travelling Festival, because I love travelling abroad very much, but I don't have enough time or money to travel around the world at the moment.

 

The Free Travelling Festival is a student exchange scheme for Hong Kong citizens who are under 18.  Eligible applicants can apply to go to the country of their choice, such as England, Japan, the USA or France - you name it!   Students would start their journey in March every year.  It would be a good chance for young people to explore other cities, as this fantastic plan is sponsored by the government.  All the expenses of successful applicants would be covered by the government.  This festival provides chances for us to learn more about the cultures of the other countries.  Students could see new things and learn new languages like Japanese - or even French.  I can imagine that those applicants lucky enough to go on such a trip would be very happy to see the clear skies, green fields, blue oceans and the fresh air in other countries.  What a fantastic trip!

I hope that this imaginary festival will become a reality someday; then I could learn things outside the classroom - for example in a botanical garden.  I really hope this could happen, and have even decided to write a letter to persuade our government to run this scheme for us!
