 A Toy Story

      Mr Wong is the shopkeeper of a toy shop. He is hard-working. He works from morning until ten o’clock at night. He is repairing an alarm clock now.

After Mr Wong finishes his work, he feels tired. Then, he falls asleep.

When he is sleeping, all the toys wake up. The dolls are singing and dancing. The soldiers are marching. The trains are moving around. All of them are happy.

Suddenly, the alarm clock rings loudly. The toys are afraid.

All the toys go back to their places. The toy shop is quiet

“The alarm clock can work now. It’s great!” says Mr Wong happily.

The Mid-Autumn Festival

 I like the Mid-Autumn Festival most because it is interesting and wonderful among all the other traditional Chinese festivals.

 The Mid-Autumn Festival is in September or October. I usually celebrate it with my family.

 I like going to parks to play with lanterns as well as looking at the full and bright moon at night. I like playing with candles and fluorescent sticks because they are beautiful.

 I can have many yummy mooncakes with different flavours. It is my favourite food. I enjoy this Chinese festival. I hope all my friends will like this festival too.

My last holiday

I went to different places in Hong Kong during my last holiday. I went to Hong Kong Disneyland with my family.

In the morning, we went to Hong Kong Disneyland. I played on some exciting rides and took photos with the Disney characters. In the afternoon, we had lunch in a nice restaurant. The food was delicious. I went shopping with my family. I bought some clothes and souvenirs in the souvenir shops. We watched the parade and the firework displays in the evening. I enjoyed it very much.

I think playing on the rides was the most exciting experience in this trip. I felt excited about it. I hope I can visit other theme parks in my coming holiday.

A Wonderful Holiday

I had a wonderful summer holiday. My family and I went to the beach on Sunday. We were looking forward to a wonderful day.

At the beach, we enjoyed the sea breeze. It was very comfortable and relaxing. My brother and I splashed around in the sea. We felt cool and cheerful. Then, we collected seashells. My parents lay on the towels to sunbathe.

At noon, we had sandwiches for lunch. After that, my brother and I built a sandcastle. We scooped sand into a bucket with a spade. We used sand moulds to make the walls. Suddenly, a huge wave washed our sandcastles away. We were upset, but we did not give up. We built another sandcastle. We enjoyed it a lot.

In the evening, we went home. We all felt tired but happy. It was a wonderful and enjoyable holiday!

A Scary Day

On Saturday, Ben and his family had a picnic. They went to the country park. They prepared some juice, sandwiches, sausages, chicken wings and snacks. They felt very happy.

After their lunch, Ben said, ‘Let’s play hide-and-seek!’ Suddenly, Ben found a maze. He went to the maze because he loved exploring.

After Ben went into the maze, he could not find the way out! Ben felt very scared. He tried to find the exit, but he still could not find it.

Luckily, his dad and mum found him because they were looking for Ben everywhere. They went into the maze to try and find Ben. Ben was scared of the maze. Therefore, he will not go into the maze again because he does not want to get lost anymore!

A Wonderful Holiday

Last summer holiday, I went to Hong Kong Disneyland with my family. Due to Covid-19, none of us could leave Hong Kong for a special vacation. We decided to just go to Hong Kong Disneyland and had fun instead.

Hong Kong Disneyland is a theme park with rides, parades, restaurants and shows. It is on Lantau Island which means we can take the taxi, bus or train. It took us about forty-five minutes to get there by train. After getting off the train, my sister and I ran straight to the park entrance. We bought the fast pass at the service counter and we were ready for the rides. First, we rode on the Iron Man ride. It was exciting. Then we rode on other rides.

After that, we felt hungry. We decided to have lunch early. We had some seafood, rice, fruit and other things at the restaurant near Tomorrow land. After lunch, we watched the parade and some shows. My favourite show was the Lion King show. It was amazing.

It was getting late, so we decided to buy some souvenirs at the shops. My sister bought a bunch of dolls and I bought a T-shirt. I liked my last summer holiday. It was wonderful. I felt happy.

My family, my friends and I spent the holiday together. My mother and I saw many birds at the beach. My sister and her friends built sandcastles and went sunbathing. Some of them went swimming. My father told us funny stories in the evening. We ate some ice cream and took a lot of photos. We watched the sunset too. I liked the holiday very much.

The most unforgettable thing was seeing my favourite pop star. I saw Keung To at the beach. It was amazing to meet him there. I felt surprised. I enjoyed this wonderful holiday very much.

An accident

       Mum and I went to Mong Kok this afternoon. We were lining up to pay for bubble tea. I saw a man with his daughter. They were waiting for Bus 1A at the bus stop. The little girl was holding a ball in her hands.

Suddenly, the little girl dropped her ball on the ground and it rolled into the road. She was shocked and wanted to get the ball back. However, her father was looking the other way and did not pay attention to her.

Then, the girl ran into the road and tried to get the ball back. At that moment, a bus was approaching the bus stop. The girl’s father saw her and shouted loudly to stop her.

Luckily, the bus driver saw the girl and stopped the bus. The girl stood in the middle of the road. She cried loudly because she was scared. Her father was relieved and hugged her tightly. Then he took her back on the pavement. I was happy that no one was hurt. From this accident, I learnt to be careful when I am in the street.

A camping trip

       Last week, I had a camping trip with my family in Sai Kung Country Park. We went there by taxi.

When we arrived there, we pitched our tents. After that, we were tired, so we took a rest. In the morning, we went swimming and played ball games. In the afternoon, we had lunch and played card games in the tent. In the evening, we went cycling before we had a barbecue. At night, we built a campfire. We sat around the campfire and Dad told us ghost stories. They were funny but not scary. All of us enjoyed listening to the stories.

I had an unforgettable camping trip. I loved the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. I would like to go camping with my friends in the future.

A trip to China

       I had a wonderful trip in China. I went to Guangzhou with my family last summer. We went there by train.

I visited many places in Guangzhou. I liked the zoo and the safari park most because I loved animals. I took many photos of the animals there. The pandas were very cute but lazy. They were sleeping when I took photos of them. I also watched an animal show. Several bears learnt how to ride bikes and did some tricks. They were amazing.

Visiting the zoo was also a memorable experience. My parents let me ride on a horse. It was the first time for me to ride on a pony. Although it was young, it ran fast. I dropped my phone while I was riding. Luckily, it was not broken. After we visited the zoo, my family and I went shopping. I bought some souvenirs for my friends. They were cheap but beautiful. China was a very nice country to visit.

I would like to visit Australia in the future because I want to hold a koala and feed kangaroos. I would like to go there with my friends.
