Dragonwings (Earthquake)

It was the thirteen days after I had a horriable dream about the earthquake hit on Middle Kingdom. Just a little after A.M. demon time, I had gotten dressed and gone out to the pump to get some water. The morning was filled with that soft, gentle twilight of spring, when everything is filled with soft , dreamy colors and shapes, one of the pictures of the terriable dream was appeared in my brain, I suddenly saw the wood , stone , brick and the very earth became fluidlike. The pail beneath the pump jumped and rattled like a spider dancing on a hot stove. The ground deliberately seemed to slide right out from under me. I landed on my backhard enough to drive the wind ofrom my lungs. The whole world had became unglued. Our stable and Miss Whitlaw's house and the tenements to either side heaved and bobbed up and down, rising the ground like ships on a heavy sea. Down the alley mouth, Icould see the cobblestone street undulate and twist like a red-backed snake. I had almost been stunned , I shout loudly. My father heard my shout, he ran out more faster than before and asked me 'Hey, my son! What is the matter with you , are you okay? ' ' I don't know what happen, I saw many horriable things happen like there is an earhtquake!' I answered with my shaking voice. Then, my father quickly felt and observed the place carefully , he said ' Moon Shadow, it seem like nothing was happened, are you sick?' 'I think it must be my horriable dream', I answered. ' What are you saying?' Father asked curiously. Then I told all the things about the bad dream. Suddenly, Miss Whitlaw came out from her house and said in a horriable voice 'Your country had an earthquake a few days ago!' We all stood there for few minutes, then my father suddenly said in a surprise voice ' Our country had an earthquake, how did you know it Miss Whitlaw?' ' I have heard it from the other friends,' she said. Father and I went to the train station and tried to go on train without the demon saw us. Finally, we successed.

Secondary school class sizes cut

This article talked about the education of Hong Kong. Our Chief Executive, Donald Tsang pledged in his policy address to introduce small-class teaching in secondary and primary school in October last year. The education minister announced long-awaiting reductions in the size of classes in secondary schools will begin next year last Thursday. The maximum size of Form One classes reduced from 40 to 38 next year and to 36 in 2010. Each school must admit enough Form One students to fill three classes, otherwise, the school may need to closure.

After reading this article, I think cutting class into small size is a good idea because there will be more classes to keep schools open, more control leads to acudemic perforance and more equal classes. Teachers also don't need to mark too many books and don't need to take care many students, only takes care of 25 students.

However, there are few problems on it such as schools may need more space and resorces for students, students can only meet very few friends and more ineffective teaches teaching. In the famous schools, they may think breaking the big classes into small classes will make the numbers of students who get top results decrease. Therefore, I think the government may need to arrange this carefully.

Five Concept

1.Imaginative
2.Creative
3.Sensitive to society's needs
4.Breaking from the past, the old ways
5.Prescient/Foresight

Hong Kong don't foster and promote those qualities that we consider paramount in order to be a good inventor. I think Methodist College just foster on Imaginative and Creative in these five concept. It is because we have Art and Music lesson, we need to think and create some special things. Therefore, those can train our creativity and imagination. We also need them in our English and Chinese lesson because we always write many composition. As for the other three concept: Sensitive to society's needs, Breaking from the past, the old ways and Prescient/Foresight, I think Methodist College didn't pay much attention on them.
