''So this is your boy," Uncle Bright Star said.
''Yes, Uncle.' Father pushed me forward.
''Hello, Uncle. My name is Moon Shadow.'' I said. I knew that a good impression is very important therefore I pretended to be politely with my father's friends.
'' Hello, nice to meet you." Uncle Bright Star said '' He is a clever boy. Windrider, you are so lucky."
'' Windrider?'' I asked Father. '' That's not your name."
'' I'll explain later," Father said with a smile.
It was a good thing that my father was with me. The thousands of miles I had crossed were nothing compared to the last miles or so between the docks and the town of the Tang people, Chinatown. I kept twisting my head this way and that to look at the hills but I couldn't find the Golden Mountain. I noticed that it may just a myth. I still thinking about this until father stopped.'' What's the matter ?" he asked.
'' Is here any Golden Mountain? Why my mum told me lie?" I cried.
'' We've often wished it.'' Uncle Bright Star said.
Father took my hand kindly.'' You are just a small boy.'' he said in a very small voice.

Hong Kong Government promote small class teaching. Most of the parents accept it because they think that can improve the level of learning. In facts, it is. The teachers can care their students more and know what they need so that the students may understand the knowledge more easily. Besides, small class teaching can abate the teachers' pressure because they look after less students and no need to mark corrections on so many students' works. However there has the other problem is small class teacher need more teachers to teach the students. First, it spends more money. Second, the demand of teacher increase but there may not have enough teachers in the society. Therefore a part of schools may need to employ some teachers that don't teach well. In this case, i don't think the parents will still accept small class teaching and I think the system of school are okay now.

I think these qualities are not fortered in Hong Kong. I think Hong Kong people should promote these qualities because if we have these qualities, we can do our jobs or works better .
The most important qualitie is creative. Creative can help me to change the world in a better way. The creative inventors can invent something that surprising. The things maybe very useful and change the world.
Besides art and music lessons, we don't have any lessons to bring our creative. Therefore I think we need to join more out-side activities such as playing piano, playing violin and making crafts.
Observant is very important too. The abservant people can know what the society need.
