The Train Ride Choo! Choo!

‘All aboard!’ the conductor shouts Family and friends wave goodbye

As the train begins its ride Along a river And up a hill Speeding past A factory mill Through a tunnel

Across a field Passing villagers On bicycles and wheels

Toot! Toot!

The whistle blows Frightened rabbits Run into their holes

Over a bridge And into a forest

Shaking a nest Of birds enjoying breakfast

Rickety-rick!

The train slows down It’s Central Station The centre of town!

Food Wastage

In Hong Kong we are very lucky. Most people have enough food to eat, but they don’t always think about how much to eat. We must learn not to waste food and not to overeat.

Buffet lunches and dinners are very popular nowadays. People enjoy choosing from different kinds of food and different styles of cooking. But sadly, people often take too much food at a buffet. The food on their plates piles up as high as a mountain. Often, people cannot eat all the food they take.

In other countries, some restaurants with buffets have begun to charge people for uneaten food left on their plates. Such food is weighed, and people have to pay extra money for it. This discourages people from wasting food.

Children must learn not to waste food. They should learn to take only as much food as they need. Parents must also not let their children eat too much. Years ago, fat children were praised. Today this is no longer true. We know that being fat is not good for our health.

As more people live longer and become richer, there is less food and it is becoming more expensive. We should learn not to take food for granted. We must be careful not to waste food.
