Letters from readers: Hong Kong’s hidden gems, Tokyo travel and lessons from video games
This week, students write about Shek O Village, their Japanese experience and what they learn from playing games

I want to introduce my favourite place to the readers, which is where I grew up: Shek O on Hong Kong Island.
I enjoy swimming at the two beaches surrounding it in summer. There is also a famous hiking spot called Dragon’s Back. You can see the entire Shek O Village when you are at the top of the mountain.
Come and visit me this summer.

Last summer, I went to Tokyo with my family. There were busy streets, skyscrapers and beautiful natural parks.
We also tasted traditional Japanese cuisine, such as sushi, ramen and wagashi. It was so tasty that my mouth watered.
There were many other vibrant activities in Tokyo. We went to a water park and rode a bicycle. The most memorable part of the trip was going to a zoo because I could see my favourite animals – rabbits, capybaras and shoebills.
I want to wear traditional clothes like kimonos when I visit Japan again.

I want to share this exciting game with you. It is called Geometry Dash.
In this game, your character is a cube. All you have to do is to click the screen so your character can jump over spikes and walls.
There are different levels you can choose from. My favourite level is Stereo Madness. I like it because it is not as hard as Dry Out or Tidal Wave. Since the other levels are too difficult for me, I train my skills by using Stereo Madness.
This game is not just for fun, but also it improves your problem-solving skills.
