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.

Reading Report(2B Tsang Ling Ling)

Title: Sherlock Homes
Author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Student name: 2B Tsang Ling Ling

This book is about Sherlock Homes. Sherlock Homes is a detective. He is clever and good at solving problems. He is concentrated on his works and cases. He used his brain correctly and easily solved the crimes.

This book has four stories about Sherlock Homes’ cases. In the stories, they have shown how smart Sherlock Homes was. The most interesting story is about three students. I thought it is easy for us to understand because the problems presented in the story is familiar to all of us – Examination.

Mr. Wilson Soames is a teacher in a university. The exam papers had been copied by someone. It was because someone wanted to get a scholarship, it is a large amount of money. Sherlock Homes knew that someone was cheating, but the exam day was coming. Homes had to find the solution quickly. He asked the students who lived in the university. Homes thought and asked. Finally, he found who copied the exam papers. He was a student – Gildnst, who studied in the university. Everyone thought he was a rich and good student. But his father lost all his money and Gilchrist did that because he was poor. Banister thought Gilchrist’s father was a good man, so he wanted to help Gilchrist.

I thought that Gilchrist was a good boy in nature but he only wanted to relieve his father’s pressure. This story inspired me a lot and I know that I need to treasure the things I have. It is because there are many people or students who need help and don’t have many things as I have. At last, I thought that Sherlock Homes was really clever and had good thinking skills.

Even Hitler can’t buy salt! (2C Heidi Yip, Lily Chu, Jacky Chan, Ivan Kung, Abraham Fung, Liyana Pang)

Hitler: Have you found what I need?

Hitler’s assistant: Sorry Sir! I could not buy any as there is no salt all over Hong Kong. I have searched every supermarket, pharmacy, and grocery store, but I just can’t find any.

Hitler: Do you think I am a fool? Even a 3-year-old kid won’t believe you. Do you know who I am? I am the great leader of Germany, Adolf Hitler. I want salt! I want salt!

Hitler’s assistant: No…no…no…no…Sir, I am not lying, I swear! Turn on the TV, and you will know that I am your most loyal and sincere subordinate.

(Hitler gives a doubtful look and turns on TV.)

Reporter 1: The 9.0-magnitude earthquake in Japan has caused a global nuclear crisis. People all over the world are worried about the released toxic radiation. In Hong Kong, there are internet rumours that salt can ward off radiation. The citizens have become insane and they are stocking up on salt, all kinds of salt. Our reporter Ling Ling Chan has more…ah…I don’t mean salt…I mean more of the story.

Ling Ling: I am now in a market in San Hui. There is a long queue outside a grocery store. The price of a small pack of salt has already gone up to $1000.

(People queuing up for salt.)

Ling Ling: Ling Ling Chan, TVC News.

Reporter 2: Is it true that eating salt can save us from radiation?
Let’s talk to Professor Chu, who is an expert in nuclear energy.


Reporter 2: Professor, can we be protected from radiation by taking salt?

Professor Chu: There is precisely no evidence to support that. Um…Never in my whole life have I heard about using salt as a radiation remedy. In fact, if you take too much salt, you will die of kidney failure before you die of radiation-related diseases.

Reporter 2: So what do you think about the citizens’ behaviour?

Professor Chu: I suggest that they should stop this unwise behaviour immediately.

Reporter 2: Thank you very much.

(Hitler turns off TV.)

Hitler: How am I gonna make salt-roasted chicken?

Hitler’s assistant: Sir, may I ask why do you want to eat salt-roasted chicken?

Hitler: Because I don’t want to die from radiation exposure.

Hitler’s assistant: (to audience) He’s really a fool! No wonder he lost in the Second World War!

What A Joke On That Night!(Lam Yee Fung)

Late last night I walked through the park to go to the shop. It was very cold and it had rained one hour ago. The street light was off, there was only a little moonlight. I walked on a hard path because the grass was wet, I watched everything too, I don’t like rainy days.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me so I turned round. There was the ugliest person I had ever seen. It was a boy. He was slim and tall. He wore a black hat, a black coat and a pair of trousers. He also had many necklaces around his neck and some earrings on his ears. I also saw he had a horrible mask on his face, I thought he was a bad person and I tried to walk away.

When I wanted to walk past him, he took a knife from his pocket! I was very scared. He said, “Hey, I want you to give me something. Do you know what I want?”

“If you want money, I can give you!” I said and my legs were shaking.

“I’m sorry, I don’t want money. I only want to say......”

I didn’t want to know what he was going to do. I only knew I wanted to run away but my legs wouldn’t move. Suddenly the boy shouted at me; “Trick or Treat!”

What? Trick or Treat? What was he talking about? He said, “Give me some candy!”

Oh, I know! Today is Halloween. I forgot! It was amazing.

The boy told me the knife was only a toy. I felt very silly. Someone played a trick on me, What a funny joke.

That was the silliest thing on that day. Did you have a joke on Halloween?
