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.

You recently completed your summer job at Disneyland. The summer job was interesting from start to finish and you have learnt a lot from it. Write a letter to your sister in Canada describing your summer job, saying where you worked, giving the details of the job and describing your most memorable experiences there.

Dear Janet,

How do you do? I haven’t seen you for half a year, I miss you so much! However, I am not going to tell you about my school life, I want to tell you something about my summer job this year.

I have recently completed a summer job in Disneyland in this summer holiday. This job was great! It was very funny from the beginning till the end and I have learnt a lot which I can’t learn from my teachers.

I was a helper to help people who came to play. Many people asked me to help them take photos. Also, I have met a lot of people from other countries, so my English is improved by talking to them. Something you can’t believe there was a nice Japanese taught me to say Japanese to thank for my help on my last day in Disneyland.

The most memorable thing in Disneyland was about a little girl. She lost her way and she could not find her parents. When I saw her, she was crying and sitting on the floor. I brought her to our Helping Centre and asked an officer for help. Her parents came to her after half an hour, the little girl gave me a chocolate to give thanks to me. I was so happy to help her because she was the first one who needed my help at my work on the first day.

I must go to find another job after my exam next year. I want to work on more types of jobs to learn more techniques that can help me to communicate with different people or deal with different things in my future.

When will you be back to Hong Kong? I want to have a face to face chat with you. And I want to know about your live in Canada. Then, I will ask my father to go to Canada and find you.

Reply my letter or call me please. Hope you have a nice time in Canada. May God bless you.

Regards
Chris

Learning English through Sport Communication-One student, One sports team. (6A Law Yeung Yeung)

The recent proposal by the Sports Club that all students in our school should be required to join a sports team at school has aroused wide concern among students. Those people who are in favour of it opine that it is a good way to motivate students to do exercises regularly; those who stand on an entirely different ground conceive that it is an infringement of their human rights. Divergent as people’s views on this issue in question maybe, I am inclined to support this proposal.

First and foremost, it can encourage our students to exercise regularly. Our society has already been running out of motivation to do sports for a very long time, especially students! Our students, among hustle and bustle, do not have much spare time because of the heavy workload and the rapid pace of life. Even though they have some spare time, they prefer taking a rest in the bedroom or playing computer games to do exercise. Moreover, there is a serious shortage of sport facilities in our community. They lack the chances to exercise. All these are discouraging people from doing exercise.

Also accountable for this view is that sport is vitally important to every one’s health. It is undeniable that doing exercise is good for every individual’s health. Some significant health benefits such as building up better immune system and strengthening body functions are from time to time highlighted by health experts. Asking our students to join a sports team at school can probably benefit our students’ health a lot.

Another reason is that joining a sports team at school could also help to strengthen students’ team spirit. Most of the Sports Clubs in our school, ranging from the football team to swimming team, require students to cooperate and work together towards a common goal. Through team sports, teammates can nurture teamwork with each other by effectively communicating with teammates and a strong sense of belonging and team spirit is also developed. Apart from team spirit, most sports are done with others. It can also increase the chance of making more friends and enlarging our social circle.

Judging from the arguments presented above, I strongly subscribe to the idea that students in our school should be required to join a sport team. Nevertheless, in order to make the proposal acceptable to the wider school community, our school should have a comprehensive consultation on this issue before making the final decision.
