Ella Suen Wing-kiu (aged 6), Good Hope Primary School cum Kindergarten (Primary Section)

I wish I could go to the South Pole and North Pole because I want to see the fish and learn how they survive.

Then I could learn about more things, like how long they can swim, how they catch food, what they do, where they go to the toilet, what they do when they see strangers and everything else about them.

When I come back, I will tell my friends all about it. I would be excited to tell them everything I learned on my trip.

Summer Lee (aged 10), Harrow International School Hong Kong

For our half-term break, I went to Xian with my mum and my friends.

The most exciting part was digging up the terracotta army in a pit. The people who organised this event placed fake pieces of terracotta statues in the pit, so we had to look closely to see if they were real or not.

The second most exciting part was hiking. We hiked up a mountain, found a cave and started a fire there. We used a very old method of using a special tool to start the fire. It was challenging but also very fun!

I hope more people will have the same experiences and learn about old China.

Ho Yan-tung (aged 11), Pope Paul VI College

I would like to set up a Latin Dance Club in my school. Latin dance is an international standard dance; five types of Latin dance include Rumba, Cha-Cha-Cha, Samba, Jive and Bullfight.

I respect the dancer’s spirit and the way they do not give up. Even if they get hurt, they do not quit and they continue to dance. This sense of responsibility and spirit is really worth learning from.

Latin dancers are always very elegant on stage, and they put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes.
