Cooking, Food and Love

I seldom cook food with my family and friends, because I am not very well for cooking. When it had special days for example mother birthday or Christmas party, I will cook food to share my love and food for them.

Mother day was coming soon, I don’t know I should gave what present to my mother. Suddenly, I think that I can cook food to my mother. I think this is a good way to show my love for her and concern to the ones we love .At the mother day, I try to cook food to my family members to eat their dinner. Although I am not good at cooking, so I will try my best to cook a delicious food for my family.

My mother was very surprised that I cooked food for her and she is cheerful for my present. Although the food cooked not very well, my mother loved it very much. She told me that some food is overcooked, but the flavor is good and it looked very delicious. It is the best present for her. After the mother day, sometimes I will cook food and make some dessert. I learn that in the Internet and some of them is my mother taught me. I think that you share your food for my parents, family members and close friends, they can feel my love from the food as they cook with heart. When I was free, I will try to learn some different types of food because I only know how to cook very little such as vegetables and meat. I will improve my cooking skills to cook well and I think that someday my friends will eat my food and share my love with you. It is a wonderful experience for me in the mother day.

My Learning Experience - Joy and Challenges

I thought my challenge is English Language, because my English is inferior and I haven’t pass the examination in the secondary school especially writing. I didn’t have enough vocabulary to elaborate my comprehension For the Reading Paper, I only know half of the passage what is talking about but I don’t know how to answer the questions. It is because I did not know the questions of the vocabulary what is the meaning and the opposite. So I think English is my challenge. 

In 30^th June of the South China Morning Post, the two physically challenged students got A-team in Geography and History, the other scored an A in History. They have set up a good role models for me in terms of determination to overcome their challenges. They come from China and have a poor English, she study every day for six hours to improve her knowledge .They have difficulties of language ,they can only speak dialect only in their native place and do not know Cantonese. English is not their mother-tongue and they taught at a very late stage in primary schools etc, but they took A-levels in their subject using of English and Chinese Language. I think their attitude is deserve me to learning.

Strong will and calmness are two elements needed to succeed in examination and conquered my challenges .Every day I study and memorizing words from my English notebook. My English teacher help us to improve our vocabulary and grammar. She give us our test and dictation to help me to improve our English for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary School Education next year to get a good results. She give us to do the preparation to read the passages and know the passages what mean and check the vocabulary that we didn’t know.

I have to overcome the difficulties of English and get thought the determination, I will set up a target to reach the goals for the HKDSE. I know that it is difficult for me to study English every day, but I believe that never give up and work hard will be successes. The two physically challenged students do not give up and set up a role models for me to work hard study to prepare examination. I will improve my grammar and vocabulary in my comprehension because practice makes prefect. I hope that I will get pass and work hard in the HKDSE. Fighting!!!!

My First Encounter with African Culture-Music and Dance

The music of East Africa is distinguished from that of Central Africa by a number of instruments, and from that of southern Africa, which traditionally emphasizes certain kinds of choral organization and complex forms of musical bows. Drums are among the more popular African instruments, but other important percussion instruments include clap-sticks, bells, rattles, slit gongs, struck gourds and clay pots, stamping tubes, and xylophones. African stringed instruments include the musical bow, lute, lyre, harp, and zither. The flute, whistle, oboe, and trumpet are among the African wind instruments.
When I knew that today is playing African Drums, I think it is very boring because the rhythm is so simple and not good for me. We are staying in the cover playground so that it is sticky heat because we didn’t have an air-conditioner to make us feel cool. I think this activity is very bored. All of the S5 student will have a chance to play with the drums and dance with us. We are very lucky to see our principal and Mr. Wu joining the group and showing their talent and dancing. Sister Cheung become a leader to walk around and according her step walk in which way. Students use the drums and hands to play with her. Instructor or students can choose us to be a leader .Mr. Wu dance with us to. They can use their rhythms to dance and we can use our drums to follow her rhythms. We are playing very exciting and have a high of atmosphere.

I think this activity very good and meaningful for us because this activity can create how to become a good leader, rhythms and know more about the African culture, especial music and dancing. All of the S5 students can have a chance to plat with their friends, classmate and teacher. Finished the examination, we have a chance to relax in this, but I think that I have to work hard for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary School Education (HKDSE). I will work hard to prepare for the HKDSE and take a good results.
