1 Corinthians 13: 1 & 13

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

4A Class Presentation- No Regrets(巾幗梟雄之義海豪情)

Student A: Have you watched No Regrets? The last episode was just fantastic!
Student B: Which character do you like most? I found Lau Shing was really great! He is hard-working, intuitive, and heroic. He is my hero!
Student A: I found the romantic relationship between Lau Shing and Sister Kau is quite upsetting.
Student B: Why don’t we recall some great scenes now. Ready? Action!

SCENE 1
Narrator: Sister Kau ’s brother got shot in the street, Skinny was suspected to be the shooter.
Sister Kau: Lau Shing, tell me where Skinny is. We won’t hurt him if you tell me now….
Lau Shing: You sure you won’t hurt Skinny? I’m sure he is not the one who shot your brother, he is a coward, he didn’t even pull the trigger once. How could he kill people?
Sister Kau: Of course I trust you. We want to help Skinny, come on, tell me now….
Lau Shing: He is hiding behind the cabinet inside your father’s room… please don’t hurt him…
Sister Kau: Okay, HE IS IN MY FATHER’s ROOM…
Sister Kau: (Gun pointing at him) Any last words before you die?
Skinny: (Body shaking and sobbing) Brother Shing… Brother Shing…please let me see your face again, must thank you for trying to save me, how can I repay your kindness? Brother Shing…Please… let me remember your face so I can repay you in my next life… Brother Shing….your are my great brother forever…I won’t forget you…
Lau Shing: Skinny…
Student A: Whoa! This is the best scene ever! Skinny’s performance was just speechless!
Student B: Wanna have more? The last but not least…

Scene 2
Narrator: Sister Kau wants to dig out the secret between her brother and her aunt. She believes they are hiding a secret. They are now in a restaurant.
Lau Shing: (Drunk, angry) I’m here to help Sister Kau; she said some people were annoying her recently! I’m here to stand by her! Did someone humiliate her because she is still single at the age of 30? Who dares to say it again in front of me?
Cheng Long-hei: (pretending calm) Just ignore this hooligan! He is no one! Go away now!
Sister Kau: (take out the grenade) Don’t think about leaving this room! No one can leave until you tell me the secret! Someone told me you called my brother “son” and my brother called you “mum” when he was in the hospital a few months ago! Tell me now, what is the relationship between you and my brother?
Cheng Long-hei : Are you insane? I’ve nothing to tell you, just let me go!
Sister Kau : (Close the door) NO one can leave! Tell me the secret now, otherwise I will pull the pin!
Sister Kau : (Pointing at Mr. Fung) You, you tell me now! Do you want to die now?
Mr. Fung: (Very scared) Fine! Fine! I tell you the secret now! Actually… your brother is your aunt’s son… he…he… isn’t your brother! He isn’t your dad’s son… he…he…
Sister Kau : So… that’s the secret! Huh? Now everything is clear, that’s why you hate me for so many years? So you are doing everything for your own son, how can you make my dad raise up your own son? How dare you make my dad a fool?
Student A: It’s cool! I love this scene. Lau Shing and Miss Kau are excellent at acting!
Student B: Wanna have more?

Scene 3
Narrator: Another war arises, Sister Kau fled to the States since she is on the list of assassination. For 30 years, she has lost contact with Lau Shing. Finally they unite.
Sister Kau : (delighted) Is that you, Lau Shing? Sister Kau salutes Lau Shing!
Lau Shing: (almost cry) Do you know I’ve been looking for you for ages… how…
Sister Kau : I received a phone call from Ma Ko Pan, they said you work as a teacher here…
Lau Shing: Yea, I’m a shooting instructor in this school now, teaching cadets to shoot…
Sister Kau : Really? Do you know I miss you so much…Shing, I’ve so many things to tell you …(walking down the stage)
Student A: (sobbing) finally they can be together. You know, we should treasure the time staying with our loved ones… How can we forget such a wonderful TV drama? That’s the end of our 4A class presentation, thank you!

Proposal for the Summer Youth Exchange Programme (5A)

1. Introduction:

A student exchange programme is going to be organized this summer. We aim at helping them to learn about some Chinese customs and their life in Hong Kong. 50 to 55 students, aged 15-17, from the United States are visiting Hong Kong and staying here for about three weeks. We would like to suggest some interesting and cultural activities for them to do as well as provide them with opportunities to mix with local students.

2. Activities fro learning about life in Hong Kong

2.1 Visiting Tai O

Hong Kong was developed from a fishing community into an international financial center. It would be interesting to learn the history of Hong Kong by visiting Tai O because it is a famous fishing town and well known as “Venice of Hong Kong”. Furthermore, the exchange students could taste seafood in Tai O in different cooking methods, such as stir-frying, steaming and stewing, which are distinguished from western styles of roasting and baking.

2.2 Visiting Temple Street

I suggest we could visit Temple Street at night, where fortune-telling service could be found. It reflects Chinese traditional culture and beliefs. I believe it could be an impressive experience for them. Besides, we could find some Chinese products such as Chinese stamps, Chinese paintings, and so on.

2.3 Visiting Ping Shan Heritage Trail

Hong Kong is characterized by it skyscrapers. Yet, it is also eye-opening for the exchange students to visit our historical sites. The hexagonal Tsui Shing Lau Pagoda in Ping Shan Heritage Trail is perhaps one of the most striking architectural works. We could also spot other temples along the trail. The life of the old-day Chinese would be displayed to the students.


3. Activities to mix foreign with local students
3.1 School visit
In order to provide a chance for foreign student to realize Hong Kong’s teaching and learning style, we would like to arrange a school visit. We are going to form groups consisting of the exchange and local students. By doing so, they could interact with each other well as they are all in their teens.

3.2 Sports day
Sport is considered the common language and culture all over the world so we could hold a sports day to help the students to further mix together. For example, students from the United States and Hong Kong could form teams to compete with each other in a basketball competition. In this case, we could foster cooperation, team spirit and communication among the students.

4. Conclusion
We strongly believe that these activities could help the foreign students to experience Hong Kong life and make friends with local students. The activities would definitely leave them memorable episodes.
