Body art expresses individuality

More and more teenagers are turning to different forms of body art, such as tattooing
and nose piercing, to establish their personal identity and look different. One of the
main reasons young people decide to modify their bodies is to look cool. Teenagers
want to express their individuality and have a strong desire to stand out from the
crowd. This gives them a sense of uniqueness that makes them different from
everyone else.
19-year-old James Keen is a typical example. He is one of the first in Hong Kong to have
had the tip of his tongue split into two. ‘When I first saw it in some teen magazines, I
thought tongue-splitting was the most beautiful thing I’d seen in my life,’ says James.
Most of his friends do not know that he has had his tongue split unless he shows it to


them. When asked how he felt about the splitting process, James said it did cause
some pain for about a week, especially when he ate, but he believed it was worthwhile.
‘Piercing of the ears, nose and lips is just too common. I wanted something different.’

Your group wants to write an article for your school magazine about the advantages
and disadvantages of body modification. Discuss with your group what to include in
your article. You may want to talk about:
- why some teenagers like body art such as tattooing and nose piercing
- the medical dangers of body art
- how Hong Kong society views people with tattoos and their bodies pierced

The Respectable Addiction

People in Hong Kong are famous for working long hours. However, it is now recognized
that obsession with work can be an addiction. In Japan, it is called death by overwork
and it is estimated to cause 1,000 deaths per year. In the USA, it is known as the
‘respectable’ addiction.
Addiction to work is not the same as working hard or putting in long hours.
Hardworking people generally have some balance in their lives. They spend a lot of
time at work, but also set aside time for their hobbies, such as playing sports. However,
work addicts think about work even when they are playing sports. The obsession with
work is total. It prevents them from maintaining healthy relationships and outside
interests. Work addicts neglect their health and ignore their friends and family. They
avoid going on holiday so they don’t have to miss work, and even if they do go on
holiday, they still think about work.
Often, work addicts only realize they have a problem when something terrible
happens, for example, when their health completely fails or they start having family
problems.

You want to prepare a presentation on work addiction for a group of young people
who will soon be starting their first job. Discuss with your group what you will include
in the presentation. You may want to talk about:
- why Hong Kong people tend to work long hours
- the health and social problems that can be caused by long working hours
- things that people can do to avoid work addiction

Below is an extract from a magazine article about team sports:
Team sports


Sports can be expensive for some families. Not only that, the training can be very tough, requiring long
hours of practice. Additionally, in individual sports (like tennis, squash, etc.), it can be quite lonely
sometimes without having teammates to train with. It might also be difficult to handle failure in
competitions too. Is it worth pursuing sports then? Most definitely yes, especially in team sports (like
football, volleyball, etc.)
There are certainly many well-known benefits of physical activity and sports in general. However, playing
team sports provides extra benefits. Being part of a team demands commitment, punctuality, encouraging
your teammates, and team-work. Team sports also mean that young people can make friends outside of
school and learn how to work towards achieving a common goal.
According to a research study in ScienceDaily last year, a Youth Risk Behaviour survey was conducted on
1820 high school students in America. Researchers found that playing team sports could reduce bullying
and violence in everyday life. The findings indicated that boys who played team sports were less bullied
than boys in individual sports. Boys who did not participate in any sports experienced the most bullying.
Girls who played either individual or team sports were less likely to get into fights, compared to girls who
did not play any sports at all.

As members of your school’s Sports Club, your group is to give a presentation to your
schoolmates about team sports. Discuss with your group what to include in the
presentation. You may want to talk about:
• the benefits of playing team sports compared to individual sports
• the disadvantages of playing team sports compared to individual sports
• how team sports can be promoted in Hong Kong

Below is an extract from a local lifestyle magazine.
Unusual activities to keep fit in Hong Kong
Photo racing
The Hong Kong Photography Club turns photography into exercise. Once a month, it
organizes a ‘photography race’ event. ‘In teams of two, the challenge is to take five
photographs under four different themes over a seven-hour period,’ explains club founder
Miranda Legg. Because the themes for each photo are random and must be picked up at
the home base one-by-one, it means a lot of running around town while carrying a heavy
camera. By the end, you’ll be fit and have a collection of great photos around the city.
Household chores
Not that we need studies to tell us this, but a UK study last year showed that doing your
own chores – that’s vacuuming, laundry, sweeping the floor, taking out the trash – can
result in up to 50,000 calories burned per year (playing tennis once a week burns only
26,000 per year).
Lion dancing
The art of lion dancing is an exciting, exhausting, leisure activity. So get a good workout –
and pick up a kung fu move or two – by taking a lion dancing training course courtesy of the
Hong Kong Chinese Martial Arts Dragon and Lion Dancing Association.

You are organizing a Health Awareness Fun Day for your school. You have to choose
an unusual activity to help promote exercise. You may want to talk about:
• which of the activities in the extract above would be most suitable for a Health
Awareness Fun Day
• possible problems when organizing the Fun Day

established a good friendship through playing the games.
6. 舉例子 You know, there’s a very famous football game called Winning Eleven.
It’s cool to have the chance to control my favourite team in the game
and compete with my friends.
7. 總結 That’s why I would choose a video game console.
If you were given the chance, would you like to be a singer? Why or why not?
1. 選擇 That’s a good question. I think I would not become a singer.
2. 原因一 The main reason is that people’s tastes change very quickly.
If you are popular today, it doesn’t mean that you will be popular
forever.
In fact, many singers who appeared to be promising at the beginning
have already faded out.
Real superstars such as Sam Hui, Alan Tam, who are always
remembered by people, are only rare examples.
3. 原因二 I’m not the kind of person who’s willing to take risk.


I just want a stable job.
4. 相反觀點 Of course, you may think it’s a pity if I really have a talent for singing.
5. 讓步 After all, no one wants to waste his talent.
6. 駁論 But let’s be realistic. Just having a talent for singing does not mean that
you will become a successful singer.
Well, I mean appearance is far more important than talent nowadays.
7. 舉例子 In Hong Kong, only beautiful or handsome singers can become popular.
8. 總結 Obviously, I am not that attractive at all.

2. 假設
If you fail to enter university, what will you do? Why?
1. 第一選擇 Retaking the HKDSE will be the most suitable for me.
2. 解釋原因 I expect that my results won’t be too bad even if I fail to enter
university through jupas.
If I learn from this experience, I will have a much better chance of
making it next year.
3. 第二選擇 Of course, in case my results are far from satisfactory, I will be
convinced that I am not good at traditional subjects. So, I will join
Project Yi Jin or apply for a place at IVE.
4. 解釋原因 Because at IVE, I can choose the subjects that interest me.
5. 不會選擇 However, I won’t look for a job.
6. 解釋原因 It is because I don’t think I am ready to work at such an early age.
Besides, I want to further my studies to enhance my competitiveness.


3. 發表意見
Do you think pollution is serious in your district?
1. 表明立場 Yes, it’s extremely serious indeed.
Mong Kok is one of the most polluted districts in Hong Kong.
2. 解釋原因 There are too many vehicles which emit pollutants.
As a result, the air quality in Mong Kok is unacceptably poor.
3. 影響 In fact, pollution affects our life in many ways.
Pollution serious impairs our health.
4. 例子 Take air pollution as an example.
It makes us suffocate.
Worse still, it poses a lot of dangers to people suffering from
respiratory diseases.
5. 個人經歷 In fact, I’m an asthmatic.
Because of poor air quality, I had a serious asthma attack last month
and was hospitalized.
6. 解決方法 Both the government and individuals can help to solve the problem.
For the government, it should enforce strict laws to make sure that no
one will harm the environment any more.
For individuals, we can protect the environment by using fewer plastic
bags and more environmentally friendly products.
7. 總結 With the efforts of the government and the public, I am sure that we
can alleviate the pollution problem in my district.
4. 解釋現象


What are the causes of juvenile delinquency?
1. 說明原因 There are two main causes, that is, lack of parental care and too much
parental care.
2. 原因一 On one hand, lack of parental care contributes to juvenile delinquency.
Parents should certainly show their concern for their children so that
they can grow up healthily.
But many parents in Hong Kong are so busy with their work that they
seldom spend time with their children.
Having no one to teach them what is right and wrong, they go astray
easily.
As a result, they will commit crimes.
3. 原因二 On the other hand, some parents really care a lot about their children.
However, they spoil them to the extent that they can do whatever they
like.
Gradually, their children become selfish and irresponsible.
4. 總結 To conclude, too much or too little parental care can cause teenage
crimes.
5. 好處 /壞處
What are the benefits of reading?
1. 好處 1 First of all, reading enriches our knowledge.
2. 解釋 This is the reason why reading is a crucial part of education.
3. 好處 2 Apart from this, reading keeps our minds active.
4. 解釋 When we are reading expository books, we are actually doing research


ourselves.
We need to think the subject over and make judgment ourselves.
On the other hand, if we are reading story books, we have to imagine
scenes in the book.
5. 好處 3 Lastly, reading enlarges our vocabulary.
6. 解釋 When we read, we will come across many new words.
After learning these words, we can improve our language ability.
Better still, if we read constantly, we will find that some words appear
again and again.
This makes it easier for us to remember them since we absorb them
naturally.
Thus, reading is a very effective way to learn new words.
7. 總結 As reading can bring us some many advantages, I read books regularly.
6. 建議
How can we cope with the problem of bullying in school?
1. 建議 1 Social workers and counselors can help a lot.
2. 其他人論點 Of course, many people believe that counseling should be given to
victims in order to cure their psychological wounds.
They are right in pointing out victims’ need for assistance.
3. 自己論點 + However, the most important thing to do is help bullies lead a healthy
建議內容 school life.
Hence, there is a need for social workers to give counseling to bullies.
As a result, the social workers can correct their twisted values.


They can talk to them so as to understand why they bully and help
them solve their problems.
4. 建議好處 When bullies feel that there are people who truly care about them,
their behavior will improve.
When there are no bullies, there will be no victims at all.
5. 建議 2 In addition, schools should report serious bullying cases to the police.
6. 解釋原因 They should bear in mind that bullying can be a crime.
In the most serious cases, it is even related to the triads.
When it comes to handling crimes, the school should not hesitate to
cooperate with the police.
7. 建議內容 Detecting bullying cases relies on the observation of teachers.
They should pay attention to the behaviour of their students.
8. 總結 With the efforts of social workers and schools, we can alleviate the
problem of bullying.
