A very old building collasped at 45J Ma Tau Wah Road , Hung Hom yesterday and it lead to the death of four people and others injured. The chief excutive Donald Tsang came to Hung Hom to inspect the site.
According to the news reports, the building collasped at around 1:55p.m. and some of the residents of the building were buried under rubble. However, several lucky residents were resued by the firemem.
The Legislative Council held a meeting to discuss the matter. They found that the building was too old and it was lack of maintenance that could have led to this disaster. It seems nobody was willing or able to pay money to repair the structure of the building because they can't afford to do so.
The government said they would check all buildings in Hong Kong that are over 30 years old to prevent further disasters.
My opinion:
The government should check all old buildings immediately to prevent other buildings collasping. The Urban Renewal Aurthority should demolish all dangerous and old buildings that pose a threat. They should also compensate or help residents who have lost everything!

The New Railway
The new railway will be built if the funding is approved by the goverment. Some people agree and some disagree. If the new railway is built, there are lots of benfits to Hong Kong.
However, the Choi Yuan villagers are not happy because they have to move to the other places to live since their homes will be demolished by the government. The government promised the property owner that they will recieve proper conpensation.
But jobless people may get a chance of employment because the project creates 10,000 jobs. the general public can go to Shum Jun faster by using the new railway.Hong Kong tourism will benfit and the economy will improve because more people from Shung Jun will come to Hong Kong to buy propertys and goods .
Conclusion:
There are pros and cons for building the new railway. The costs are tremendous but it will give us a convenient and fast link with mainland China so I agree to build the new railway.

My Birthday and Christmas
My birthday was on the 23rd December and I had a celebration with my friends and my parents. I woke up in the moring and found a present on my desk. It was square shaped and it was quite big. I didn't know what it was and I went to the dining room and opened my PS3 and started to play the game.
My maid suddenly appeared and said" Happy birthday" and she gave me a "dairy chocolate" as a birthday present. I was delighted because I like to eat this chocolate very much. I opened the square shaped present and found that it was a Wii, a machine which is similar to PS3. Then, my friend Thomas came and we went to play badminton. We had a competiton but unfortunately I lost because his badminton skill is better than mine.
At noon, my friends came and we decided to go to Ocean Park to have fun. We took public transport, which was about 45 minutes to get there. We rode on many thrilling machines, except the rollercoasters because it looked frightening and I didn't want to ride on it. I liked the "pirate boat" most because it moved quite fast and I liked the feeling, my friends made a lot of sounds like "Oww!". I thought they were scared!
We didn't take the cable car in Ocean Park because there was a new transportation connecting the whole of Ocean Park. It was the Ocean Express. We took the trian and it seemed that we were actually in the ocean watching different kinds living things. Lastly, we went to visit the pandas but only one panda appeared. It was cute and lovely. I wish I could have touched it .
We went back home and my mum bought sushi for dinner. It was yummy and everyone liked it and the sushi was eaten within 10 minutes. Then we played the Wii and every one enjoyed it because it was wonderful and exciting. My friends nearly broke the television with the Wii control machine because they were too concentrated on the game. They paid full attention to the game so did I. Thomas won the most games and others also won several times. I regrat to inform you that I won the least. My friends didn't want to leave and one of them even wanted to play the whole night because they thought it was fantastic and they thought there was no reason to leave !! Lastly, they gave me many presents and nearly all of them were chocolates. I would not forget the moments we enjoyed!!! When I unwrapped the last present, I found that there were four books inside and the book covers were so colourful so I wanted to read immediately but it was too late and I had to go to bed.
I am now thirteen years old and I hope I can be a matural person!
Christmas was shortly after my birthday and my cousin came to my house and played with me. Because I had exam after Christmas so there weren't many special activities during the holiday. We had ordinary activities and the only special activity was that we had a barbecue at my friend's club where we had chicken wings, steaks, sausages, fish balls and seafood, they tasted delicious and I ate too much so I didn't feel very well. Fortunately, it was only tempory. After the barbecue we played badminton at the club house and of course I won every time!! We also played Wii at his house and ate dinner there too. I enjoyed that day.
After Christmas I had dinner with my grandparents. Later on, I had my exams and it lasted for 9 days. It was a nightmare and you know every student doesn't like exams or tests. There were also lots of homework to do during Chirstmas time but I have already done it. We have to recite " Homework, Oh homework" this poem which I like very much because it shows how students hate homework and how they feel about its. The poem is brilliant for all of us!
Homework Oh Homework
I hate you, you stink
I wish I could away in the sink
If only a bomb would explode you to bits
Homework oh Homework
You are giving me fits!
This is one of the stanzas and I like the poem and I enjoy to recite it!
I hope I am able to read it beautifully in front of my class and get high marks in the oral test same as other subjects!!!!!!!!!
