Making a better Hong Kong

Some people think that it is the charities and adults who should make Hong Kong a better place. However, we, primary students, can also help make our city better.

There are a lot of things we can do. We can help others every day.

For example, we can always offer our seats to people in need on the bus and the MTR. Every time we see the elderly, the sick and women with babies, we can make them feel better by offering them our seats. By doing so, we not only show others how to be good but also help make the city warm. Besides, we can donate our pocket money to charities. Although Hong Kong is a rich city, there are still many poor people. They need some help to have a better life. When we give our money, the charities will use it to help those in need.

We are part of our city. We should try our best to help others. Let’s be good young citizens and make a better Hong Kong.

Subject : Greetings from New York

Dear Sam,

How are you? It’s so nice of you to send me a postcard. I received it a few days ago. I really like it!

Two weeks ago I flew to New York from my hometown Vancouver with my family. We went there for five days. I felt really sleepy after the seven-hour flight.

However, the moment I stepped into the airport, I was not tired at all. I just couldn’t explain how excited I was. It was my first time visiting New York City!

Just the same as your hometown Hong Kong, New York is an international city and well-known for its tall buildings. Two of the most famous buildings are the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. One night, I went to the Empire State Building. It was a bit scary to stand on the top floor but the beautiful view was breathtaking! The whole city was there in front of me.

New York is a big city and their meals are also huge. I think the portions of food or drinks in New York must be much larger than those in Asian cities. At the same time, they are delicious. Once I had a bun with a thirty-centimetre-long sausage inside. It was so big. The ketchup and mustard in it made it taste really yummy. After our meals, we had to give tips to the waiter or waitress who served us. Tipping is a common practice in America. It means we are satisfied with the restaurant service. Do people tip in Hong Kong?

Do you have anything interesting to tell me about Hong Kong? I’d like to visit Hong Kong someday. Please write soon.

Cheers, Jenny
