A Bad Day for Jack

      Yesterday, Jack had a bad day.

      After school, Jack went to the tutorial centre as usual. In the centre, Jack gave his dictation book to the tutor. When he saw the book, he said angrily, ‘Why are your dictation marks so low?’ Jack was sad.

     

      When he came back home, his father saw his report card and he shouted furiously, ‘You lazy guy! Did you study for your exam? I won’t let you play computer games for a month.’ Jack felt miserable.

      He rushed out of the door immediately. He was walking alone in the street sadly. Suddenly, it was raining heavily. Unfortunately, Jack forgot to bring his umbrella. He got wet all over his body.

      What an unlucky day for Jack!

Help save the Earth

I think the pollution problem in Hong Kong is serious.  For example, our air is polluted by the exhausted gases from transport. Also, Hong Kong people produce a lot of rubbish. Some selfish people play music too loudly.

There are a lot Hong Kong people should do to protect the environment.  First, we should take more public transport. Second, we shouldn’t waste paper and use both sides of it. Trees play an important role in our environment, so we should protect them. Third, we should be more considerate and shouldn’t play music loudly.

      The Earth is our home. We should be responsible citizens to protect it by all means. Let’s start having a green life!

Honesty is the Best Policy

Last week, Bruce played baseball with his friends in a playground near his home. They were playing happily. However, one of his friends Mark was too excited and hit the ball hard.

Unluckily, the ball flew far away and broke the window glass of a nearby house. They were scared. ‘Oh! What can we do now?’ Bruce said worriedly.

‘Why don’t we apologize to the house owner?’ Mark suggested.   

      ‘Maybe we will be punished by the owner!’ another boy wondered.

      ‘But we should admit our mistakes, right?’ Bruce asked.

      They all agreed and immediately went to the house. They knocked the door nervously.

      Suddenly, a kind, old woman opened the door and smiled at them. They said sorry to her sincerely. Finally, the old woman forgave them.

      Bruce learnt that they should be honest and admit the wrongdoing.

A letter to a pen friend in Canada

18^th December 2012

Dear Jane,

     

I turned 12 yesterday, and I had a wonderful day!

To celebrate my birthday, my parents brought me to a famous French restaurant for lunch. I was excited. I had a steak for the main course and a Tiramisu cheesecake for the dessert! They were yummy and I was content.

     

After the special lunch, we went to the toyshop. My parents bought me a soft toy for my birthday present. Guess what? It’s a cute teddy bear. I love it so much!

     

In the evening, I barbecue with my friends at Shatin. Suddenly, they took a birthday cake to celebrate with me. I felt surprised.

Love,

Jaffer
