Reflection on the news “Hero dog risks life to save kittens” (4B Chow Pui Sze, Junta)
I have recently read a news article about that a dog rescued four kittens in the fire. It touched me very much when I read it. When fire broke out in the house, the people fled the house and left four little cats inside. The kittens were saved by a dog. This makes me think of the fact that people always think that dogs and cats are rivals and they can’t live together. I don’t so. I’ve watched a TV programme about animals in which a dog takes care of an ill cat. When the cat gets well, they stays together like mother and son. It’s so sweet. I love animals and I have a dog, she loves to follow me. When I read the news, I was angry. I think they should have rescued the cats. When people keep pets, they have the responsibility to protect their pets and ensure their safety. Some people buy their pets because they are cute but when their pets fall ill, they will dump them. I think this is irresponsible.

As a Hongkonger…(7B Alvin Chung)
How do you identify yourself, as a Chinese or Hongkonger? Since the handover 11 years ago, the mainland leaders have been obviously anxious about Hong Kong’s patriotic sentiments and winning hearts and minds from Hongkongers. Although the Beijing Olympics and space walk have made Hongkongers feel proud to be Chinese, the achievements overshadowed by some scandals in the mainland.
Recently, China has numerous accomplishments such as the Olympics and the Paralympics which were widely praised as well organized. The spectacular opening ceremony and Chinese athletes’ medal-winning moments were the most moving parts and were linked to a surge in national pride. After that, the motherland’s first spacewalker won the Hongkongers’ hearts too.
The mission realized the 100-year dream to carry people to the space as well as brought the country one step closer to building an independent space station to rival the International Space Station. It is also a milestone to show off China’s technological knowledge and cementing its status as a space power. Due to the above accomplishments, the Hongkongers feel more attached to and more supportive of the mainland. Some people believe China’s world image is progressing. Its booming economy and evolving culture make China have a higher global status.
However, there are many issues or scandals which make people lose confidence or trust in mainland such as lack of human rights and environmental awareness. The most controversial is the tainted-milk scandal. The snowballing tainted-milk scandal killed at least four infants and left more than 53,000 children ill. Therefore, many citizens are concerned about the food safety and view Chinese products as a bad brand.
To conclude, if Chinese government wants to win the hearts and minds from Hongkongers or even all the world, it should hear the voice of the public. Firstly, the Chinese government should take a more active role in promoting human rights and continue to improve its political system. Moreover, expanding the media freedom and giving the public a bigger say concerning state affairs are necessary Otherwise, China’s national image on international status would be harmed.

I believe that all of you know who will be the next president of the United States. Barack Obama, he is back. He always said America needs to “change”. But do you know who is the first black people who really changed America? He is Martin Luther King, Jnr.
About 50 years ago, America was not fair. Black weren’t treated equally. Martin wanted to help America change, just a little change which is black will be treated as a white. At that time, black’s were not allowed to play in the same parks or eat in the same restaurants as the whtie. When Martin grew up, he did a lot of things such as having a march to let people know what he wanted, sending mails etc.
But he was arrested a total of 16 times for his protests, hate mail and attacks… He did such a lot of things so that blacks would be treated the same.
Barack Obama’s change may not be the same as Martin because Martin had helped the black, he helped them got the freedom and equality. People might think Obama was a legend but I do think he is.
Racial discrimination should not appeare again in this world! Because we all are the same, we are human, we should not discriminate the people who are not the same colur as us. This is the thing that I learn from this book. I also hope you can learn this.
Questions
1 Who is Marin Luther King?
2 Why is he important in American history?
3 Do you think Barael Obama will be a good president for the USA/world?
4 Do you think Sabina was a sweet voice?
5 Please said Sabina a special message…
