''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.

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.

Ocean Park

We went to Ocean Park this Friday. Mr.Woo and Mr.Lee were the leader of this trip. We separated into many groups. My group members were Yentl and Mandy. Both of them were very brave therefore we could take many different kinds of amusement rides together.
I took the 'Mine Train' with Mandy. Besides 'The Abyss' , I thought this is the most exciting facilities. Yentl didn't take it, maybe she was afraid. At the beginning, I felt scared and my heart was bitting so fast but after that I wanted to play one more time. I just shouted when the train was falling down. My throat still became uncomfortable. Next, we took the 'Raging River'. All of us were wet. Afterward, we took the 'Dragon' and 'Crazy Galleon'. I didn't shout because I took them for many before. When I saw Yentl screamed, I was happy. I felt a bit bored becuse they were not exciting to me therfore I sang our school song when we were tooking the amusement rides.(There has a few people) It is funny and interesting. You can try it next time. Of course, the song was not be pleasant to listen. I felt ill after tooking these rides so I didn't took the 'Abyss', it is a pity I missed the opportunity to take it.
Finally, we went to have lessons and joined together again. The lessons were taking about pandas and dolphins. I knew more about them such as their eating habits and forelimb structure. I will protect them and do the things that I can do for them. They were lovely.
I slept for a moment when we were going back to school. I felt very tired but it is a enjoyable day.

Yesterday (Saturday), I went to Wing On with my group members and invited a salespeople to help us to answer our question paper. My aunt work in there so she helped us to find a salespeople to answer our question paper.
There have 6 questions on the question paper. Some of them are multiple-choice because we don't want the salespeople thought that she needed to spend a lot of time on our question paper. Of cause, we still have some 'what', 'how' or 'why' questions therefore she needed to write the answers longer. From these answers, we can get more complete imformations about traffic congestion in Yau Ma Tei.
After the interviewing, we walked along Nathan Road to observe the traffic congestion.
I learnt how to make a question paper and how to invited a people to interview( need to be polite and sincere)
Next time, I hope I can invite a people without other's helping. I need to be braver to invite others.

Michaelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci are used as examples of Renaissance men because they made changes of art.
Leonardo Da Vinci developed a new painting style. In this paintings, there were many shadows. He used a dark background that could bring out a three dimensional (3D) effect in the main object.
Both of them were Renaissance painters. Their artworks such as 'David' ,'Mona Lisa' and 'The Last Supper' were also very famous. They spent a lots of time in art therefore they had greater achievements and qualities than the people in Middle Ages. Besides, they also paid more attention on art.

I think our power structure is different from Medieval society.
We have a president(Donald Tsang)who is the only one lead the whole city but he is not the highest one. He can't kill the people for no good reasons. He needs to collect the suggestions from the townspeople before he want to do something. He can't do all the things that he want. But in the past Pharaoh can do everything that he want.
Besides, nowaday in Hong Kong, women have more power. They can work and earn money by themselves without their husbands.

I have a similar experience when i was nine years old. I moved my home because my old house was too small. My new house is bigger,cleaner and more beautiful. Therefore I was excited about that. Besides, I was reluctant to give up my old house because I had many memory for my young age there and it stayed with me for a long time. The first time I went to my new house, I thought it was difficult to accept but now I love my home even more than the elder one.
