1. When will your friend get your e-card if you send it on Christmas Day?

A. Christmas Eve B. Christmas Day

B. Boxing Day D. New Year Eve

2. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Alex likes e-cards?

A. They save time.

B. They do not cost much.

C. They can reduce paper waste.

D. They are welcomed by the elderly.

Sending Christmas Cards

Sending e-cards is easy and it saves time, money and paper. Within a few seconds, your friends around the world will receive your greetings. So, you don’t have to worry about the posting deadlines. Even if you send an e-card on Christmas Eve, it’ll arrive at almost the same time you send it!

E-cards are environmentally friendly but paper cards are not. Thousands of trees have been cut to make paper cards every year. People may throw them away after Christmas. What a big waste!

Also, paper cards are so expensive now. I’d rather spend the money on other things.

Alex Lam (Class 6C) I agree that sending e-cards is easy and cheap, but I think only paper Christmas cards can show how much we love and care. E-cards can never replace the traditional ones.

Although you may think that posting Christmas cards is troublesome, some people, particularly the elderly, value paper cards which people have taken time to write and post. Sending paper cards is a way to show our respect. That’s why I still prefer paper Christmas cards to e-cards.

Narrator: In a hilly village far away, there was a poor family. The father could not earn enough money to support the family. The mother was ill and needed lots of care. Their children, Andy and Sarah, were smart and hard-working.

Sarah: Oh, Andy! There’s only a little rice left.

Andy: But Mum needs some congee. Let’s cook all the rice left for her.

Sarah: All right! We still have some sweet corn left. You can have it.

Andy: How about you, Sarah?

Sarah: Don’t worry about me. I’m not hungry at all. You must hurry up or you’ll miss the lesson. Mr. Kwan starts his lesson at eight o’clock sharp. It takes you an hour to walk up those hills. Go now! Here’s your sweet corn.

Narrator: After Andy has left, Sarah started sweeping the floor and sang lovely songs.

20 Dear Peter,

Have you finished your exams at school yet? I hope you still remember that we are going to have a family hiking trip next week. My computer is out of order so I am sending you this letter. Please remind your mum and dad about the following details.

We will meet at Sunshine Bakery at Kowloon Tong Railway Station at 9:00 a.m. next Friday. We have to be on a train before 9:10 a.m. and catch the villagers’ truck at Tai Po Market. It usually sets off at 9:45 a.m.

Be on time and have your breakfast before meeting there.

It will be cool and sunny. We have to walk up steep slopes and walk through narrow paths. Light and warm jackets are best for hikers.

You should wear a pair of comfortable running shoes too.

Bring a light lunch. You will need to have enough water for the day.

There will be no food or drinks supply along the trail. Also, remember to bring along your mobile phone as it is very useful in urgent situations.

If you want to make any changes, please call Aunt May or me. We know that you are the most hard-working student in class. So, please don’t worry about the exam results. See you next week!

Love, Uncle Tom

because his computer was out of order. That means the computer was broken and did not work.

To ‘set off’ means to leave and start a journey.

Remind students about the pronoun ‘it’.

It refers to the truck at Tai Po Market. If students do not know the meaning of ‘set off’, they can guess the answer from the phrase ‘be on time’.

Uncle Tom advised Peter to bring light food for lunch. Among the choices, only the sandwiches and bananas in Choice C are light and easy.

You will have two minutes to complete the task.

• Where was Peter?

• What was the old lady doing?

• How did the old lady feel?

• What were other passengers doing?

• What did Peter do?

• How did the old lady feel?

• END OF PAPER •

• Students should describe what Peter and other passengers did and preferably create a contrast between them.

• Students should lay emphasis on how the old lady felt after sitting down and what it meant to Peter.

• Some students may miss out the ‘the’ in the expression ‘on the MTR’.

• ‘The’ in ‘the old lady’ should be pronounced as /ði:/ because ‘old’ begins with a vowel sound.
