My mother (Sam Yuen 4E/DE)

She works very hard to earn a living for the family. She is there to help the family all around the clock. She never says no to what we want. Who is she? She is our lovely mother.

My mother is a housewife but she has a part-time job, working as a clerk in a law firm. She does all the housework even she is very tired after working for the whole day. She said that our only responsibility is to study hard and strike for a place in universities instead of spending time on any other stuff. She is very responsible and we do not need to worry about the family because of her.

She has given birth to three children, my elder brother, Jim, and a twin brother of mine. We sometimes make her angry because we behave inappropriately. I remember one day, we promised to take care of ourselves because she needed to visit our grandma in the New Territories. She had, in fact, prepared the lunch boxes for us while she was not there at home. We three were so excited and we planned to lunch out together. Having lunch at home was rather boring, so we decided to lunch out that day.

Yet an accident happened, after having lunch, Jim did not feel well. He guessed he might get a stomache. We did not know what to do but sent him to the hospital. A doctor diagnosed that Jim was suffered from gastroenteritis. He had to be admitted to the hospital. He could only be discharged with being accompanied by an adult. We had to call our mother then even we knew we would seriously be punished. You know what? She did not punish us. She just worried about Jim. She comforted all of us!

Oh! Our dear mother, we love you very much.

School hero, my idol（4A Lai Yu Sum）

My school hero is Mr. Allan. He’s an Australian and he taught us English. Well, I think he’s the most excellent teacher in the world whose lessons are very meaningful.

He’s muscular and energetic, that’s why he talks like a machine gun shooting. (This would be better for describing his speed of speech!) He smiles all the time so we feel relaxed in his lessons. He’s funny that he always tells jokes to make us laugh. I remember one of our classmates, William, nearly laughed to faint in Mr. Allan’s lesson. I can see the power of jokes!

It’s a pity that our school doesn’t have an American football team, or Mr Allan would have led us win many games. He said that he was the manager of an American football team in Australia, which was called ‘Swan’. Futhermore, I’m not sure whether gum is a tradition in Australia or not. You can see a chewing gum in Mr. Allan’s mouth all the time. (If it is a truth that chewing gum is a source of power, I must follow suit.) I suppose Mr. Allan’s an expert of chewing gum, that I need to inform him when I want one.

There is no special reasons for him to be my school hero except his unique characters. He is kind, generous, humorous and polite to all his students. He’s keen on all kinds of sports so that many students like to talk to him. He could talk to his students like his best friends. That’s why he’s my school hero.

I hope if I am a teacher one day, I can be a teacher successful as him. I wish I can imitate him when I devote myself into the social service.

A letter to Sam (Reply letter) (4D Tang Sze Yu, Anthony)

Dear Sam,

How are you? I miss you so much. It seems that you are vey happy in England. I’m glad for you, too.

Last time, you asked me about who my favourite actor and singer is. My favourite actor is Lai Yiu Cheung. He won the award of ‘The best male actor’ in 2009 and 2010 continually. He acts very well, that’s why he suddenly has a lot of fans. What makes him famous is his acting skills. Everyone loves to see his acting now. The character that he acts is La Shing. It is an exciting TV programme. I watched it every night. I think the characters in this TV programme are quite complicated. Audience need to spend a lot of time to understand the story Lai Yiu Cheung acts very well. I really love to see his acting.

My favourite singer is Kary Ng. She has a beautiful voice. She sings a lot of songs that make me feel touching. She can also sing rock songs too. Five months before. She joined a band called Hardpack. From that time, all of her new songs are rock. Kary can handle all the songs skillfully. Since Kary has joined the ‘Hardpack’, I love this band very much. The pianist and drummer performed quite well. I admire their rock sound.

Sam, how about you? Who is your favourite actor and singer? I am looking forward to hearing form you soon.

Bye for now

Pat
