The Story of a Wolfgle

W.K. Ku 2A

My name is Chanying, and I’m a wolfgle.  Actually, my father is a wolf but my mother is an eagle, so you can imagine that my appearance is very special: I have the head and legs of an eagle, and the body of a wolf.  My body is grey.  My mouth and teeth are big, so I can eat my favourite food, pork, quickly and easily.

I was born in mainland China, but when I was two years old the Chinese Government sent me to Hong Kong to kill the people who had joined the Umbrella Movement.  My best friend is a wolf called CY…

Now I’m three years old, and my body has grown a lot in a year.  The Hong Kong police train me every day, but I don’t want to hurt the Umbrella people; however, if I refuse to be trained the police will punish me…

Once they made me attack the people who were taking part in the Umbrella Movement protests.  They gave me tear gas and told me to let it off where all the people were, but I really didn’t want to hurt them, so – I took it back to the police and let it off where they were!  The police shot at me and I was hurt, but the protesters saw what I had done and saved me.

Now I want to thank the protestors for what they did for me.  I’m proud of them!

The Story of a Lizbat

 Ip Chun Fung, Jeffrey 2A

My name is Mac.  You can call me ‘Mad Mack.’ I’m a lizbat: my father was a bat and my mother was a lizard, but they’re both dead now.  After they died I flew to the Amazon jungle; it is so big, so quiet, and I love living here very much.  I now live in a nice, dark cave.

My appearance is very special, and I guess a little scary.  In fact I am a lizard, but I have a pair of bat’s wings and I use two legs to walk.  So – I can swim, run and fly, and I think I’m the luckiest animal in the world to be able to do that.  I love to fly, and climb trees…

I’m now eight years old; I’m two meters long and I weigh 82 kilos.  A few of the native jungle people have seen me.  Because they think I am a god they respect me, and they bring food for me every week.

One day something horrible happened: some men from the city with guns came hunting and tried to kill me.  At first I thought they had come to give me food, but suddenly they started shooting at me, so I pounced on them and bit them with my razor sharp teeth.  Now their bodies are in the river…

Do I like my life in the Amazon jungle?  Yes - I think it is really nice; I have the best food brought to me every week and a comfortable place to live, but these days more and more people are coming to the jungle, so maybe in the future I will fly to another place… or maybe I will stay here and ‘play’ with them, as I did with the men from the city...

Anyway, please remember that if you come to the Amazon, don’t go into any caves – especially if you have a gun!

How to Make New Friends

Li Yuen Tung 2A

We can make new friends by chatting to someone we don’t know.  We can talk about some topics that we are both interested in, for example K-pop stars, sports, favourite subjects and songs.  If we have things in common we will chat more and so get to know each other better.

Also, we can suggest joining some activities together, like basketball or badminton teams, which improve our teamwork skills and let us make more friends; if we join some activity we will have more time to work together and become good friends.

Apart from chatting and joining activities together, we can also help new friends when they are in need: if they are carrying a lot of books we can offer to help them.  If they don’t know how to do their homework, maybe we can help them with that.

Lastly we can study together.  For example, we can teach and help each other and revise together before exams.  If we know something the other doesn’t we can explain things; show them the steps to solve a problem in maths for instance.  We can ask them questions to make sure they understand something.

If we use these methods, I think we can make new friends – even new best friends

Blind Love

by 2D Candy Lee

 

Ken is a bank clerk.  His daily repetition of boring work was his life, until one day, something happened…

“Stop moving! Put your hands up!”  Five bandits with scarves tied around their faces rushed into the bank. They were armed with guns and smashed the door open.

“Oh my God!”

“Help!”

“Call the police! Hurry!”

People were confused and started screaming.

“No talking!”  The tallest bandit shouted, and walked over to the counter. “Give us all the money!” he shouted at Ken, who was very scared.  He began to tremble all over, moved back a step and stepped on someone’s foot. “Aah!” a female employee, Kelly, screamed.

“Oh! I’m so sorry!” Ken said.

“Are you okay?” one of the bandits asked Kelly, politely.

“I’m fine thank you,” replied Kelly, surprised at the bandit’s concern for her.

At that moment, the police arrived.  The five bandits rushed out of the bank without any money. “What?!” Ken could not believe what had happened. “They just ran away?”

Three months later, Kelly told Ken that she was going to marry one of the bandits, whose name was Jerry.  Ken was amazed - love really is blind!

The Pet Sitter

by 3B Ethan Ho

The ad in the paper said:

Wanted: pet sitter

Need someone to look after little monkey Jolly

while I am away.

Willing to pay $400/day to the right person.

Four hundred dollars for looking after somebody’s pet!

‘Easy money!” I thought so I took the job. When I arrived at the house, a man gave me the keys. He then took his suitcase and left. I was left alone with Jolly.

“Just a monkey,” I thought, “they have those in zoos too.”   But you know, monkeys in zoos are locked up.  I immediately noticed the door swinging open because of the wind, and there Jolly went, as I chased after it.

After 15 minutes or so I got the little monkey back, and almost “stabbed” the door lock with the key, so anxious was I to get it back into the house.

“You… you sit there!”  I was furious.  Looks like the monkey wasn’t trained to listen to people.  You see, the pet owner’s house had fancy lights like chandeliers, and I could see why some lights were out.  The monkey almost brought down one of them.

“Get down now!” I was shouting like a barbarian or something, shouting up at “King Kong”.  But this time he listened, though he landed on my head and gave me a few scratches to my face.  Meanwhile, I noticed something on my head.  It was poop. He had pooped on my head!

Then I just yelled like a maniac.  I looked over to the neighbour’s place and saw an old man staring at me.  It was almost like he was saying, “Go see a doctor.”

I washed my head and began to leave.  I saw the monkey and almost kicked him - but I wouldn’t do that.  As a last resort, I saw a banana, and threw it at him like a boomerang.  Guess what, he caught the banana and started poking at the television’s power switch.  Then he just sat and watched television without any more fuss.

“Wow,” I thought, “You didn’t train him to obey, but you trained him to watch television.”

So, I put a bunch of bananas next to Jolly and left.  I left the keys under the “Welcome!” rug at the door. Not easy money, for sure.  Today hadn’t been ‘jolly’ at all!

Growing Pains and Gains

 by 2D Janet Wong

Ashley’s birthday party was over.  It was very late when Constance left for home.  When she arrived, her parents were in the living room.

“Why are you so late?  It’s nearly twelve o'clock!  I didn’t get any call from Ashley’s home!  Where have you been all night? At a bar or somewhere?”

“Mum, I'm so tired. Maybe let's talk in the morning.  I had better go to bed now.  Good Night.”  Constance yawned and pretended to be very tired.

"Constance!" yelled mum.

"Mum, I've said goodnight," Constance replied in an impatient tone.

"Sorry, Constance, I don’t think I can let you go out at night anymore! You are NOT allowed to go out at night!"  Dad shouted furiously.

"Why dad? What have I done wrong?  FINE! You're so annoying!" Constance started crying and rushed out of the flat.




Constance looking down at the dark street

At midnight, she was walking along the street as a dark shadow moved slowly up behind her.  Constance looked round and trembled with fear.   She was about to scream, when the dark shadow moved towards her.  A girl with a friendly smile waved at her… "Hi,” she said, “I'm Jo."

She asked why Constance looked so sad.  Constance told her she had had a fight with her parents.  Jo gave her some medicine.

After meeting Jo, Constance never went home.  She stayed with Jo and some bad guys every night.  She seldom went to school.  Constance's bosom friend, Leah, was worried about her. She called Constance many times but every time she phoned her, Constance’s phone was switched off.  She left a voice message reminding Constance not to take drugs.

One day, Leah was on the way home and she saw a girl; she couldn't believe her eyes, Constance was lying on the street!  She phoned the school counsellor, Mrs Leung, and they took Constance to hospital at once.

Constance received residential drug treatment and realised that she had been extremely stupid. She felt sorry for her parents and apologised to them, and finally she regained a good relationship with them.  She really thanked her bosom friend Leah for the emergency help and realised that every teenager has problems; she had gained a valuable lesson.

 

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!

My School Picnic - a diary

                                                                                                                  by 1B Pang Hoi Yee

13th November Wednesday

Today was my school picnic day. Last night I was so excited that I didn't sleep well.

The weather was bad this morning. It was rainy. Although it was not raining too hard, it made me feel sad. We travelled by coach to Wu Kwai Sha Youth Village. On the coach many students talked about what they would do when they arrived there. Some students listened to music and read books. They all wanted to arrive there quickly!

Wu Kwai Sha Youth Village

When we arrived at Wu Kwai Sha Youth Village, we all went to the Activity Room to listen to the rules. Then we went out to enjoy our picnic. First we played 'Running Man' in the football court. We kept running all the time and enjoyed this game very much. It gave us a good time! However, it rained for a long time too. Soon we went to the canteen for lunch. After lunch, the weather was fine. We were happy and played another game together.

The happy time was over soon. We had to go back home. We took photos together. It was the first time we had a picnic in our secondary school and it was a success. I hope next year I will have a picnic like this again!

My Life at Secondary School

by 1B So Sin Ki

My name is Melody So. I'm twelve years old and L live in Sheung Shui with my family. I have a younger sister . She is studying at Tai Po Market Public School. My mum is a teacher and my father is a driver. I have a lot of hobbies such as high jump, badminton and Chinese painting. I do them every week.

I started secondary school this year. My new school is called Valtorta College. But I think it is small. There are five blocks of buildings. They are classrooms, special rooms and the hall. My favoruite subjects are P.E. and science. I think they are interesting. I want to learn more about science and P.E. We usually do P.E. in the playground. Sometimes the boys would use the playground for P.E. so we would use the hall. I don't think my school has a good canteen. The canteen is small and hot. The food is not good. My classmates always say the best food at the canteen is cup noodles! There are lots of clubs to join at my school but I just joined the Badminton Club, Red Cross and the Library Club.

One of my friends is Kathy Yip. She is twelve. Her mum is a housewife. She's sporty. She loves swimming. She likes drawing too. She can draw beautiful pictures. She swims every day so she doesn't any more time to join school clubs. I want her to join Red Cross with me. But she says she needs to go swimming every day so she doesn't have time to join it.

Cheering team of Blue House

So far, I think secondary school is fun. I hope I can get good marks at tests. I want to have good results and have fun at the Sports Day too.

A Journal on Swimming Galas

by 2D Chung Chit Tik

I went to a swimming gala organized by the Tai Po & North District Secondary Schools Area Committee at the 7thand 9th October. These days were important days for the participants of this competition.  Everyone wants to get a medal, or a better time.

I participated in the 100m breaststroke, 200m breaststroke and 4x50m medley relay.

On the first day, I got the eighth runner-up for 100m breaststroke and I also got the eighth runner-up in 200m breaststroke.

My team of 4x50m medley relay came last in that race.  I felt very disappointed about not having any prizes.

Also, I went to another swimming gala organized by YMCA. It was on the first October.  I called some of my friends to the swimming gala and I took part in the 50m breaststroke, 50m butterfly, 100m individual mix, 4x50medley relay and 4x50 freestyle relay. However, when I finished swimming breaststroke and butterfly, I was really tired and did not join the individual mix, and there was another reason: I had to finish two relays afterwards!

After a fierce battle, I won two silver medals with my team. I was very happy, and overjoyed, after I got the medals. I have participated in this swimming gala for four years and this was my first time to get the relay medals!

Lunchtime at Valtorta

by 2D Jason Chow Chun Lai
                                                                 

home-made lunch is healthier

When lunchtime comes in VC, most people quickly grab their wallets, phones and rush out to restaurants with friends.  After they have left, a minority of students, including me, stay in school for lunch.  Not many people know what it is like to spend the lunchtime here in VC and I’m going to tell you about it.
 
When the bell rings, I go to the school gates and take my home-cooked lunch from my maid.  Then, I have lunch beside the covered playground with some friends.  They’re not my best friends but our friendship has grown by having lunch together every weekday.  We chat about everything while we eat, which, unlike people who go out for lunch, we don’t have our smartphones keeping us from chatting.  Although the food is less tasty than restaurant food, it is healthier.
 
After having lunch, I walk back to my classroom.  There are usually one or two diligent students reading books whenever I come back.  I write down the homework on the blackboard, as it is my duty to do so.  Then I walk around the school.
 
The corridors at this time are always so quiet and peaceful with only occasional shouts coming from the basketball court.  There is usually no chance throughout the day to look around the school so now it is a great time; it lets me know more about the school campus and makes me feel closer to the school too.

 I peer down the corridor and I see students coming back from lunch.  My classmates also come back one by one and I go back to my classroom to frolic with them.  We usually play Chinese chess or go behind the computer chair to watch what the user of the computer is doing at that moment.  More and more classmates come back gradually and the bell rings not long after that.
 
Although my lunchtime experience may sound boring, it is actually more unusual than the typical restaurant lunch experience.  Moreover, it helps to develop friendship as people who go out for lunch usually play with their smartphones and don’t talk much.  Also, the peacefulness of the school allows me to think more clearly.  So this is my lunchtime in Valtorta !

A mobile phone story

BY 3E Lau Cheuk Yin Alex

Every day, humans bring us to school and office. They always use us to chat with their friends, use Facebook and also play games. I am a mobile phone. I think you may have one too. You may be using your phone for games too. But I am an old model mobile phone, I am Nokia 3310.

In the past, I was a famous mobile phone. I had a high selling price. Only some rich people could buy me. After they bought me, they didn’t use me much because the fee of chatting was extremely expensive. It cost one dollar per minute.

Although I represented rich men in the past, now I was thrown into a dirty, dark drawer. Nowadays, there are a lot of different mobile phones which have a lot of functions. Their master can use them to play games and send messages. Although I also have games, messages in my system, I am too old-fashioned. Last year, I met a new mobile phone which was the most famous model in the world---iphone. He told me why no teens use me. It is because I can’t take photos; the monitor isn’t big enough and the most important thing is I am not a smart phone.

Five years ago, my master wanted to recycle me, so she took me out and put me in her pocket. When she was driving to the recycle store, there was a car behind her and hit her car and pushed it into a speeding train. She was dragged along for above half a mile.

 

She was terrified but she managed to make a call with her mobile phone. However, she forgot to bring her mobile phone ( the new one ). After 30 seconds, she realize she had brought me to recycle, so she took me out immediately and used me to dial 911. This was the first time she had used me in 10 years! I felt extremely happy that time. I still feel happy now because I have saved her life.

Finally, my master found out that the basic use of a mobile phone wasn’t playing games or using Facebook. So she sold her new phone and used me in the following years, until she died……

A Mobile Phone Story

by 3E Au Yuen Wa Sunny

I am a mobile phone. I am of the newest model this season. I am popular, and many people want to buy me. However, I am very expensive. I live in a mobile phone shop with my friends. Every day, many people come to the shop and try us. Some of my friends which are also new model mobile phones were bought, but no one buys the old mobile phone.

Last week, I was bought by my owner. She was a young woman, about twenty years old. When she took me home, she started to play with me immediately. She downloaded a lot of apps and games on me, such as whatsapp and candy crush which are the most popular apps and games in town. She played the games whenever she was free. But she always used whatsapp to message others and never called them. I was very sad. I am a mobile phone. My main function is calling other people but my owner never uses this function. Moreover, she never took care of me. When she ended a game, she just threw me somewhere, such as sofa, desk or even on the ground. So, I was very upset. However, she always decorated me with a beautiful case, with some stickers. This was the only thing that made me happy.

After two months, a new model mobile phone -- iphone 5 was on sale. My owner was going to buy it, so she took me to a second-hand shop and sold me to the shop keeper.

I saw many mobile phones in the shop. They were sold by their owners, too. Their owners also didn’t take care of them. Their owners also wanted a new model mobile phone and sold them to this shop. We had the same experience. We are all waiting for a good owner.

Luckily, a student, Linda, took me home two weeks later. She was a good owner. She took care of me. She put me in a comfortable place. She didn’t change her phone frequently and I have been used by her for two years.  Nowadays, I am getting older and older. Some of my functions don’t work. Linda bought a new phone, but she didn’t throw me away. She put me into a box and I live there forever.

35th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony

             bY 3E Wong Sum Wing Dorothy

Last month, our school held the 35^th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony. Students of Form three to six attended the ceremony.

First, our school supervisor, the principal, some teachers and some members from the SA, held a ribbon cutting ceremony. Each of them held a part of the ribbon with colourful ballons. Then, the students showed a video in which all students had taken part in. It was the count-down video. They invited some teachers and students to say ‘Happy Birthday To VC!’ They even found a popular singer for the video. She was a student in our school in the past.

After that, the performances of the Kick-off Ceremony started. All of them were in a story about truth and friendship told by an old man to her daughter. We had a shadow puppet show. The show was about a war in ancient China. The students used traditional Chinese musical instruments to play the music. The show looked very professional too.The story was quite funny and interesting.

Then, the dance club performed a jazz dance. At first, they danced with some blub lights smoothly. The atmosphere was peaceful and silent. Then, the music changed to a Christmas song. The dancing started to get faster and more joyfully. Finally, they performed to the pop song from a Korean pop star, PSY. They got lots of claps because of that song!

Next, the campus TV played a stop motion animation acted by the Form five and six students. It was about two boys who changed themselves into a car for a fight. The video were made from many photos. Then, using the computer, the photos were joined together in the timeline to form a video. It took a lot of time to take photos and produce the video although it just lasted a few minutes. It was the highlight in the ceremony too. They got many howls and claps. The participants looked delighted and interested.

Finally, the school choir performed some songs and the parents and guests started to leave the hall.

This Kick-off Ceremony was a great success. It didn’t just to celebrate our school’s birthday, it also gave a chance for students to show off their talents.

35th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony

by 3E Methdy Leung

Last month, our school held its 35^th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony. A lot of students performed in the ceremony and the performances were wonderful.

First, we had a ribbon cutting ceremony. We invited our principal, and some teachers to cut the ribbon and start our ceremony. After that, we watched a video which was made by Campus TV.  Students from each class stood on the playground forming the shape of a number. This video showed that students in our school are very united.

Then, our school wind band performed three pieces. They did a good job and everyone in the audience enjoyed listening to the music. Next, we watched a shadow puppet show, which was about a war. It was very exciting and everyone clapped after the performance. The show was fantastic.

After that, the members of the dancing club performed. They danced to some pop music from Korea. The highlight of the ceremony was the stop-motion animation. In the video, things floated in the air and dolls could move anywhere by themselves. This video was very interesting and the maker of this video was creative.

Members of the audience howled with laughter after they watched the video; the atmosphere was very good.

Finally, the ceremony ended. Everyone left with a smiling face because they had watched such a wonderful show.

A memorable anniversary kick-off ceremony

by 3D  Leung Kwan Pui Ryan

21^st December 2012 was Valtorta College's 35^th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony. All students and teachers were glad on that day.

The starting time of the ceremony was 9:20 a.m. Some parents were invited to attend it too. At the beginning of the ceremony, our school supervisor and guests held a ribbon cutting ceremony, which symbolized the start of the celebration. After cutting the ribbon, the screen above the stage showed a count-down slide of 10, 9, 8... and then the program started.  The audience all took a breath in anticipation of the performances to come.

First, the school orchestra performed three songs. They had trained hard before the ceremony. It was great! Then, the second performance was a shadow puppet show, which is a form of traditional Chinese entertainment. A story about Chinese history was told; it was interesting. After that, the dance club performed a jazz dance. Their dancing was beautiful and stylish, and their costumes were very attractive.  Altogether, it was a very festive atmosphere.  I enjoyed the music as it was a Christmas song, combined with a popular Korean song “Gangnam Style” to form a medley.  As for the birthday greetings, many schoolmates, teachers and even the pop star, Kay Tse said “Happy Birthday” to our school.

Then, Campus TV showed a touching and meaningful video which linked all the performances up. Next, the magic club performed an amazing show which for me was the highlight of the ceremony.  All of us were in a 'hyper' mood. We enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere very much. However, of course the ceremony came to an end after all those amazing performances, and all students, teachers and guests clapped loudly. The 35^th anniversary ceremony ended in a burst of prolonged applause.

We really did appreciate the excellent show! Thanks to all of the performers for their hard work preparing for it, and the excellent teamwork of all the students involved! I look forward to seeing our successful 40^th anniversary ceremony!

35th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony was a 'must-see'

                                                                            by 3D Chau Pok Man, Bosman

Last month, our school held an extremely important event – the 35^th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony. This year’s ceremony was especially meaningful, and involved all of us: teachers, students and even non-teaching staff.  Our school invited many guests to join our ceremony, for example, our school supervisor, Mr Chan and parents of F.1 to F.6 students.

On that day, the Student Association prepared many awesome shows to entertain us. First, there was a ribbon cutting ceremony. Our school supervisor, principal, teacher representatives, Chairperson of Parent-Teacher Association, and Chairperson of the Student Association went to the stage to cut the ribbon which started the ceremony. The audience clapped happily.

Suddenly, music started – it was the hit song of the year, “Gangnam Style”. When the curtain rose, we saw the members of our school’s Dance Club. They wore beautiful costumes. The club has won a lot of prizes in external competitions. They re-designed the moves of the song and performed it in a jazz form.  Their performance was outstanding and amazing. Every move was perfect. I think no team could do better.

After the Dance Club’s performance, it was the turn of the wind band. They performed a Christmas song which was excellent! They made no mistakes. When we listened to the music, you would feel the atmosphere of Christmas and follow the beat!

The next event was the shadow puppet show which was performed by Form 5 students who are studying Visual Art. They supported the little paper puppets with bamboo sticks to control their moves. They performed some stories chosen from Chinese opera. Although we didn’t know the name of the story, we still enjoyed the show very much.

Then, here came the stop-motion animation! It was my favourite part. Stop-motion animation doesn’t mean everyone stops moving. It means the performers use one shot ('freeze-frame') or a few shots to do the whole animation; they use one scene as one shot, like taking a series of photos and sticking them together. You may still see people moving, or not; you could see some incredible action through the animation. For example, you could see the 'mime artists' give the illusion of moving while they were sitting on the floor! The F.4 students thought of many creative and interesting actions to perform.

Finally, the ceremony came to an end. Every performer stood at the front of the stage thanking us all. We stood up and clapped long and loud. After we stopped clapping, the music for the school song started. Everyone sang our school song in high spirits. We were sorry that the ceremony had ended but we still had happy faces because we were celebrating our school’s 35^th anniversary.

“Happy birthday, VC!”

Ruined Face Ruined Day

by 2D Pun Siu Chi 

 

Today, a terrible thing happened to me and Jonathan. It started when we attended the Career Expo.
 

We worked in different companies, so I chatted to Jonathan on the phone. When I was about to ask him out for dinner, I heard someone scream loudly.
 

“Somebody has stolen my handbag!”
 

I was able to see the suspect, so I told Jonathan, “A short spikey haired thief with big sunglasses and cap who stole a handbag is running away!”
 

I was so scared that I said everything in one sentence.
 

Anyway, Jonathan was able to find the suspect. He tried to stop him by pushing him onto the floor. Then, the suspect started to struggle. First, Jonathan was winning, but then, the suspect elbowed Jonathan’s face quite a few times, and Jonathan let go because his handsome face was ruined. The suspect ran away in a blink of an eye.
 

Now, the police are still looking for the suspect, and Jonathan is saving money for plastic surgery. I hope everything can be back to normal and I can ask Jonathan out for dinner.

A Rock Concert

                                       by 1A Tiger Pun

Last week, I needed to do an English project with my best friend Kenny. When we finished the project, it was about 6:30p.m. Then we went jogging. We heard some girls say, "Tiger Bad Boy 4" will show up in today's concert! Tinco is so handsome……’ At that time, I really wanted to ask them where the concert was held because ‘Tiger Bad Boy 4’ is my favourite band. They sing very well. Kenny agreed with that, so he decided to follow those girls!

We had to line up to attend the concert. The line was really long but if I wanted to see my favourite band, I needed to be patient so I waited. After 45 minutes, we got into the concert area. The first show was performed by a pop group. Four pop singers sang pop songs on the stage but I didn’t like them much. I only wanted to see my favourite band. Afterwards, it was my favourite band's show time. I was so happy. They were so handsome. Everyone was dancing and singing along with them. The concert was full of happiness. My favourite song was ‘Baby’.

At the end of the concert, I was very tired. Although the concert was the best concert I have ever seen, I was a bit disappointed because I didn’t get the autograph of ‘Tiger Bad Boy 4’. Next time, I must get it!

Society to a Person

By 3D Lung Hiu Fung

  No matter you are black, white or yellow, we are all born from a society and once we are born, we need to fit in the values and rules of the society that you belong to. So obviously, we being Hong Kong citizens have to live under the values and rules of Hong Kong.

  However, there’s a question to address .Every human being is born different, with different levels of ability, talents and personality so why does a human society have to be formed ? It’s kind of irony actually because a human society limits the development of a person though it is formed by humans. Let’s say in Hong Kong, everyone must take 12 years of compulsory education or he will be charged of breaking the law. But what if a person is way more talented in cooking than in the school stuff? It’s definitely a waste of talent to have him “locked up” at school for 12 years! One more example, the present government wants every student to have all-rounded development. That’s why there’re tons of homework to be dealt with every day. On top of that, focusing on a specific aspect is always more preferred to trying to get achievement in every single aspect as most of the people cannot be perfect in every field. For instance, an expert in science can rarely be an expert in literature stuff.

  “Existence precedes essence.” This statement by Jean-Paul Sartre comes to my mind as I’m writing this article. I don’t know much about Existentialism actually but let me tell you how I take this statement. The existence of a person shouldn’t be judged by the objective standards (i.e. ethics, community values etc.) and don’t try to think what you should be - just live your life and you will know what will come to you. Look at our society, lots of people just follow what people tell them to do. It seems that society has molded everyone in the same shape and the uniqueness of individuals are undermined.

When everyone is just trying to fit in the standard of what the society tells you, I guess we are just a machine rather than a human being.
