NETs.

Mr. Pepe Smith (P.1 – P.3)

Hello, my name is Pepe Smith, and I am the new NET teacher at PLK Stanley Ho Sau Nan Primary School. I am very excited and happy to be here this year because, I have many ideas and activities to share with the staff and students.

I came to Hong Kong in 2004, and immediately began teaching in the public school system as a NET. Before that, I taught English in Australia and Mainland China, although I am originally from the USA. In my time here I have learned many interesting things about Hong Kong, including your customs and culture.

My mission is to continue getting the students more involved in the English learning process through natural integration. To do this, I use many different kinds of methods such as reading, story-telling, writing poems, speaking, drama, singing songs and saying rhymes during the lessons in order to stimlute students’ intrinsic motivation in learning English. I hope all of my students will like it.

I look forward to meeting all of you and I want to thank the school for letting me be involved in the education and development of their students.

Mr. Pepe Smith

My Graduation

In my school time, I made a lot of friends. They were good to me. We shared our happiness and sadness all the time. We walked side by side.

My teachers were great and professional. They contributed a lot of time in their teaching. They talked to us after the lessons when we faced different kinds of problems. They helped us patiently. I learnt a lot of knowledge in my daily life.

Although we have to graduate from primary school this year, I think it would be another good start in our life. I wish all the graduates this year will all have a bright future. I will come back and visit my teachers because I love them very much. They are my good friends forever.

Friendship Forever

There are many things more important than studying in my life. I think friendship is the most important one. Friends always stand by your side. They can play, talk and care about you. Without friends, no matter how successful your life can be, you will be very lonely and sad. But how can you make friends easily?

Firstly, you should be more outgoing and join different kinds of activities. Therefore, you can make friends are everywhere. Secondly, you should make a good first impression to you new friends such as wearing nice clothes, smiling and giving a helping hand. Thirdly, you should introduce yourself in a proper way. You shouldn’t tell lies and remember to be yourself.

After you make some friends, you will have to treat them nicely. You need to be honest. If your friends find out that you are a liar, you will lose your trust and your friendship. Meanwhile, you need to be loyal to them. You should help a friend in need. Lastly, you should care about the feelings of your friends. You should share your feelings with each other.

I hope one day you all can meet your best friends in your life.

An Unforgettable Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. I was excited so I got up early and went to school. On my way to school, I was thinking what kind of presents I would receive from my classmates.

However, when I met my classmates at school, they did not say ‘Happy birthday’ to me. They only said ‘Hi’ and walked away. During the recess, my best friend played with me as usual. I felt disappointed because even my best friend did not remember my birthday. Then I comforted myself that my parents would remember my birthday so I felt better.

I went home after school but nobody was there. Then I found a note from my parents on the table. It said, ‘Sorry that we are too busy in the office today. We will be back late. We have prepared your dinner. Please find it in the container.’ I felt very upset that I sat on the sofa and burst into tears.

Suddenly, there was a voice outside the door. My classmates stood in front of me. They said, ‘Happy birthday!’ I was surprised that they arranged a birthday party for me. When we were playing games, my parents came back. They ordered a big birthday cake for me. My father said, ‘My lovely daughter, happy birthday!

Toys

All the children like toys. Whenever they get big toys or small toys, they will be happy. I am a toy lover. I always share my toys with my friends and my sister.

My aunt loves toys very much and she likes to buy toys for her son if they are well-behaved at home. When she was young, she did not have any toys. She could only look at the neighbours’ toys. She didn’t have a chance to touch the toys. Therefore, when she had a son, she bought a lot of toys for him and played with him in order to satisfy her childhood wishes.

Luckily, I have some toys in my childhood as my parents afford to pay for them. I should treasure everything I have and share my toys with the other children. I should donate some toys to the poor children so that they can have a happy childhood.

A Story of Christmas

Once upon a time, there was a forest. Many deer lived inside. There was a deer called Red Nose. She was totally different because her nose was red. The other deer laughed at it, ‘Poor, Red Nose! You are so ugly and special. You can’t live with us. We don’t want to play with you.’ Red Nose was so upset because it was lonely.

One day, Santa Claus came and he wanted to choose one of the deer to be his assistant. All the deer gathered and they all wanted to apply for this job. However, Santa didn’t want to choose them because they were very naughty, impolite and lazy. Red Nose was the last one in the interview. Santa Claus talked to her, ‘Why do you want to be my assistant?’ She replied, ‘I want to share my happiness with the children in the world. I want to help the needs with my great effort during this joyful festival. I will do my best and work hard.’ He thought that Red Nose was friendly and kind. She was good to the children and hard-working. Therefore, he chose her to be his new assistant.

At last, Red Nose lived with Santa Claus happily. She helped him to send a lot of gifts to the children around the world.

Tang Tsz Pui (P.6)

Festivals

My favourite festival is Chinese New Year because the lucky money is given to children. I can have a lot of lucky money and I can save it for my future study.

The Halloween Party

Last week, I received an invitation from my best friend. She invited me to join a Halloween party. I talked to my dad excitedly and asked what I should dress up for the party. My dad suggested that I should dress up as a fairy to impress all my friends.

Then we started to look for the materials that we needed to make the fairy costume. We found a coil of wire, a roll of netted cloth, tape and scissors. Within an hour, my dad had finished making a pair of wings. Then, he sewed the wings onto my favourite princess dress that he brought before for my birthday.

On that day of the party, I put on my fairy costume and did some makeup. It was a surprise for my friends. They loved my costume. All of us enjoyed the party very much.

When it came to the end, I was sad to leave. I am looking forward to the party next year.

I always have a lot of imagination on my ideal Christmas celebration. I can travel overseas and enjoy the holiday on a snow-covered street. I can sing the Christmas carols with the foreigners happily. I can make the snowman with the snow in a big country park. I can ride on a reindeer and go everywhere as I like.

As people walk in the streets, Santa Claus will let us to select our favourite presents as we like. Then I can select a new computer for myself and a lot of beautiful clothes for my parents.

I can dress up in a fashionable way and enjoy the party with my family and friends in a five-star hotel. We can try a lot of delicious food from different eastern and western countries. Besides, I can enjoy the shows and see the super stars singing on the stage. Some people will take photos for us and there are many costumes for us to choose.

How about you? What would you like to do during your Christmas holiday? Let share your ideas with me.

The Earth

Chan Sze Wing (P.6)

The Earth

Hi, everybody! My name is Earth. I am six hundred million years old. I have a lot of children. I think the smartest and cleverest children from me are human. They make me proud. However, they don’t care about me and make me sick. I feel very upset.

They live on me but they build too many buildings. They hurt the forests and hack the trees. The other animals don’t have places to live so they die. They dump the dirty water into the sea. The sea is different from the past now. It is dirty and full of rubbish. A lot of fish die. They release a lot of poisonous gas and make the air polluted. I will become very hot and all of the children include human will die. Luckily, some human find that I am sick and start to protect me.

Human, I hope you can stop to contaminate me! Starting to take care of me is your responsibility. Otherwise, my life will not last forever.

Cheung Man Sze (P.6)

Save the Environment

The Earth is being polluted and it becomes more serious. We should protect it and save our environment together. Each of us has a responsibility to do so.

We shouldn’t create a lot of rubbish. We should bring our own bags for shopping instead of using the plastic bags. We should try to avoid using the disposable utensils. We should stop using a lot of tissue by replacing with towels. We should use the recycle cans, paper and other stuff. We should stop throwing away so much rubbish into the sea and dumping so much toxic waste into the sea as it causes pollution.

Besides, we should stop having baths. It wastes a lot of water. We should turn down the air-cons if it is not very hot. We should turn off the lights when we go out.

If we want to live in a good environment, we should do our best in environmental protection every day.

Learning English

Tang Wing Tung (P.6)

Learning English

What is your favourite subject? Do you like learning English? I like it very much because it is very useful for my future.

English is an international language. It is a good tool for communication. If we travel overseas, we usually need to ask questions in English. When we have interviews, we always need to introduce ourselves and present our ideas in English too.

There are a lot of ways for you to improve your English. Firstly, you can watch some English TV programmes and movies every week. I think reading English books is not enough, we also need to understand the slangs in the western culture.

Secondly, we should find the opportunities to speak up and communicate with the foreigners. It is a good way to build up our confidence in using English, During recess time, we can talk to our local English teachers and native English teacher in the classroom and in the playground.

Thirdly, we need to do more writing tasks. We can write some stories and choose some interesting topics for our own writing. Practice makes perfect. I am sure we will get more improvement after a period of time.

To avoid any language barriers, we must put effort in learning a second language. Although we may face a lot of difficulties in our learning process, we should never give up. Learning English will help us to develop our language skills in the modern world. Let’s try our best together.

Transportation in Hong Kong

There are many different kinds of transportation in Hong Kong. I like taxis best. It is because taxis can bring us to different places rapidly and directly. Also, we can take the taxis everywhere. It is a very convenient transportation. I hope it will have more seats in the future.

A Little Dog and Squirrel

A little dog and squirrel go out secretly together in the afternoon. They are boring and naughty. They do not tell their mother.

They go to the playground. They play on the slide happily. Then, they have a nap in a wooden house under a big tree.

Finally, they wake up at around five o’clock in the afternoon. They go back home. Their mum return home earlier and she can’t find them. She is scared. Suddenly, they open the door and they see their mum standing in front of them angrily. They are afraid. They are punished by her. They promise her to be good kids in the future. They will not go out again without her permission.

A Competition

Last year, I joined the Ice Hockey Hong Kong 5^th Tournament. We enrolled in the first game.

First, we went into our tent and discussed with our teammates. We selected some useful equipment and then we did our warm-up exercise.

After a few minutes, the game started. We ran fast like the wind. Our head coach gave me great appreciation because I did a great job. It was brave.

Finally, we won the game. We got our award and took photos together. I was proud of myself and my groupmates.

It was a wonderful experience.

Tom saw a strawberry cake and a chocolate cake in the shop. He felt happy. The strawberry cake was eighty dollars. The chocolate cake was one hundred dollars. The strawberry cake was the most popular. However, Tom found that the chocolate cake was more delicious than the strawberry cake. Therefore, he decided to buy the chocolate cake for his sister.

Bake a Birthday Cake

Today Mum and I made a birthday cake for my dad. It’s my first time to make a cake. I felt very excited.

We went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients. We bought some cheese, biscuits, milk, sugar, flour and fruit. Then we went back home and started to make the cake.

First, we crumbled the biscuits. Then we mixed the cheese, flour, milk and water together. After that, we put the mixture and crushed biscuits into a big bowl and mixed them again. We put some fruit on the top for decoration. At last, we put it into the refrigerator for three hours.

In the end, Dad felt happy because he knew that the cake was

hand-made. Dad said, ’It’s a wonderful present for me! Thanks a lot!’

A Picnic

Last Sunday, I went to a country park with my family. It was a great place. First, we went to a restaurant to have breakfast. Second, we went cycling. I fell down on the ground. My dad didn’t laugh at me. He comforted me and taught me how to cycle. He was my good teacher. Finally, I did it! I was proud of myself.

In the evening, we had dinner at home. We made our favourite food together. Then we looked at the photos that we took in the countryside. They were beautiful. I like the nature. I hope we could go there again in the coming future.

We should have good manners at home and public places. Then everybody will feel happy. You will be happy too!

At home, we should be nice to our parents. We should talk to them politely and gently. We should help with the housework patiently because they are tired after working for a whole day.

When we are in public places, we should be nice too! We shouldn’t talk loudly the bus stop because you will disturb someone. We shouldn’t walk fast either because it is easy to get hurt. We should speak to the helpers politely. Otherwise, they will be angry. We shouldn’t throw the rubbish everywhere.

A Little Duck

Once upon a time, there was a little duck living near a forest with his family. His mother did not let him go into the forest because it was very dangerous.

One day, it did not listen to her and he walked into the forest. Suddenly, a wolf came out. The little duck was scared. The wolf said, ‘I want to eat you! Yummy! Yummy!’ It was too smart and it threw a stone to the wolf’s head. The wolf was painful. At that time, it ran away quickly and stood behind a big tree. The wolf couldn’t find it and he left.

In the end, his mum and dad came to the forest bravely and found him. They took it home. The little duck cried and said sorry to them. He felt regretted and he promised to listen to the parents all the time.

What a Busy Day

Today was a holiday. My grandma was sick so my mum went to visit her. My mother told me to look after my little brother.

When I woke up, my brother cried. I thought he was hungry so I made some breakfast quickly. I prepared some egg sandwiches and milk for him. That’s fresh and easy to make!

After breakfast, my brother was full. He played with his toys and I wanted to do my housework. ‘Oh! Is it my house? There are a lot of things on the ground in the sitting room. What a dirty place!’ I said. I decided to do the housework. I tidied the house from ten o’clock to one o’clock. I was very tired. Then I heard my brother cried again. Oh! I had to cook for lunch. I forgot about it.

When I finished my cooking in the kitchen, I came out and put the food on the table. My brother was painting on the wall at that moment. ‘Stop! Stop!’ I shouted at him. I stopped him and cleaned the wall immediately.

Finally, my mother came back home at four o’clock. She said, ‘Wow! The house is tidy! You did a great job, my dear daughter!’ Although she was proud of me, I felt exhausted.

I really want to tell her my feeling. Now, I understand her feeling if I don’t tidy my room or make everywhere messy! It is not an easy job to do the housework. I will try to help her every week.

An Unforgettable Memory

Today, I was sick and had a fever. I was lying in bed and I felt very upset. All my family members went out to have dinner. I was bored and lonely.

After taking medicine, I decided to have a rest. I was almost going asleep. Suddenly, I saw something moving on the desk. I opened my eyes and discovered that it was a dwarf. She talked to me, ’My name is Sarah and I want to be your friend.’ Although I was shocked, I was very excited. She suggested, ‘Let’s go to our world.’ She waved her magic wand. Then I became very little as her. How wonderful and amazing!

She waved her magic wand again. Suddenly, we were in the Magic World. She introduced her friends to me. We were so happy and played with one another joyfully. After a while, one of her friend, Ben talked to me sadly, ‘There is an evil witch in our world and she is very cruel. She catches us as her slaves. We feel frightened about it. Can you help us to defeat her?’ I replied bravely, ’Certainly! I won’t let her to harm you anymore!’

We climbed up a mountain and found her castle. We crept into her castle quietly and got some fire from the kitchen. We knew that she was afraid of fire. We ran into her bedroom and put the fire in her bedroom when she is sleeping. Sarah said to me nervously, ‘Be careful!’ I jumped on her bed and threw the fire torch on her body. She was burnt into dust. All the dwarfs said happily, ‘Hurray! We are free now!’ We left the castle immediately.

Sarah and Ben said, ‘You are our hero! Can you be our queen in the Magic World?’ I was very happy and surprised. Then, they let me sit on the throne. On the way to the throne, I slipped over on the ground carelessly. Then someone talked to me, ’Wake up!’ I opened my eyes and saw my mother. She said, ‘I bought a bowl of congee for you.’ I looked around again and I was in my own bedroom. It was only a dream.

I wish I can be the hero of the Magic World. Then I would be a queen and live there happily ever after.
