My Favourite Idol
Sam Tung (3D)
I am an enthusiastic
basketball fan, so
it’s easy to figure
out what kind of idol
I like – a basketball
player, of course!
My favourite idol is
an Asian basketball
player called Jeremy
Lin.
Jeremy Lin was born into a Taiwanese
family in America. He had a dream
like every basketball lover when he
was young – to become an NBA
star. Not everyone can do this. At
first he could not join the NBA. The
Houston Rockets and Golden State
Warriors waived him. Then the New
York Knicks gave him a short-term
contract. During this time the best
player of Knicks, Carmelo Anthony
was hurt, so Jeremy Lin got his first
chance. He became the starting point
guard and played seven games. He
made the best of this opportunity and
got over 27.3 points every game! One
of the games was New York Knicks
vs. Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers
had Kobe Bryan, the best player
of the NBA, but Jeremy Lin got 37
points from him. From then on, every
American knew who Jeremy Lin was.
He may not be the best NBA player,
but he is still my favourite player and
my idol because he inspires me. He
has taught me that when you get a
chance to prove yourself, you must
grab it with both hands.
Secondary School Life
Manmeet Kaur (1B)
I started attending my new school a month ago. The
school’s name is Buddhist Wong Fung Ling College. It is in
Causeway Bay. It has a big campus with many different kinds
of facilities. I go to school every day by bus. I am in class 1B. My class
teachers are Mr. Raymond Lee and Ms Scarlet Lam. Ms Lam also teaches
me I.H.
My favourite subjects are English and Chinese because I find them
interesting and fun. My favourite teacher is my English teacher Miss Chow,
because she makes lessons fun and interesting. I have many favourite
classmates. We usually play together and go to the tuck shop during
recess. I like going to the tuck shop because it sells lots of delicious food.
Recently we had a class party to celebrate our victory on the sports day.
There was a lot of food and we had so much fun! I really enjoy going to
school this year. I plan on getting good marks in most of my subjects.
Ways to Reduce Stress
Jonus Mok (5D)
More and more students nowadays are dealing with extreme
amounts of stress. Do you find yourself under a lot of
pressure? Do you have a full timetable with no time to rest?
Well, you’ve come to the right place! I have a lot of advice
that will hopefully help you in some ways.
One of the biggest problems students face is a busy schedule, mostly
from extra-curricular activities. Usually their parents enroll them in order
to get extra skills to stand out from the crowd. This will leave the students
exhausted as they tend to use all their energy for these activities without
taking any breaks. This is a serious problem as it puts them under a lot of
pressure. A good way to deal with a busy schedule is to make a timetable.
You can organize your messy schedule, prioritize the activities that are
important and make sure you leave some time for rest. A 30-minute break
in between activities is recommended to recollect yourself.
Another problem students face is pressure from the public exam. The
HKDSE is compulsory for every Hong Kong student. The grades you get
in the HKDSE will determine your future. This puts students under a lot of
pressure as they have to burn the midnight oil every day in order to get
good grades in the HKDSE.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the public exam, try to talk to someone
and tell them about your concerns. Sometimes you’ll feel better if you have
someone listening to your problems.
Even though students nowadays are under a lot of pressure, there is
always a way to cope with this. Exercise is a good way to reduce stress
because it releases hormones called endorphins that make you feel
happier and more positive. Another way to reduce stress is by doing
meditation. It calms you down and relaxes your body.
I hope this advice will help you to reduce your stress levels. Good luck with
your school work!
