Sharing from S.5A Chan Lok Ting
In December 2010, four secondary schools students from Tai Po and I went on a four-day exchange tour to Fujian .
On the first day, we arrived in Xiamen and we were given a brief introduction about Fujian . That night, we were greeted with a warm welcome and a dinner treat by the local government officials and universities.
On the next three days, we visited a local food and beverage business – The Yinlu Group, the size of their factories and development is huge. I deeply appreciate the rapid development of Chinese enterprises.
In addition, we also visited the local attraction – Gulangyu. We enjoyed the scenery and looked at the characteristics of the western constructions built in the late Qing Dynasty.
The main focus of this trip is for students to exchange their study experiences and cultural differences.
We were able to talk to some students of Jimei University. I realized how hard it is to be a University student in China after listening to their sharing.
I was most impressed by how considerate and lively the primary school students were during our visit to Tulou primary school. Seeing their happy faces when we gave out some small gifts to them made me reflect on how materialistically spoilt some Hong Kong children are.

In the trip to Fujian, I visited the Earthen Buildings (Tulou) which have great historical value. The building was designed in a traditional style, but it is more modern than I expected. Some of the tulous even have shops in them in order to gain more income. Besides, the surroundings of the area provided pleasant scenery to visitors.
Throughout the visit, I have substantially felt how the people enjoy a simple style of living which made me reflect on how we are living our lives in a city of material prosperity and yet still feels unsatisfied. Indeed we should be content with what we have. If everyone feels thankful of what they have, the world will be a better place.
The first OLE cleaning campaign has come to an end with great success. Over 200 S5 students participated in the campaign on 13 Jan 2012. Regardless of the rainy dull weather on that day, all the students put effort in cleaning the classrooms and both the male and female toilets. As their teachers, we are proud of our students that they worked whole-heartedly and aimed to perform their best. Their working attitude was highly appreciated by the janitors. On the other hand, they were able to work harmoniously with others. This campaign demonstrated that our students are capable to work under harsh environment and it was definitely a valuable experience for them.

I thank god and my teachers for giving me a chance to participate in the ‘’Beijing Exchange Programme in Cultural and Creative Industry’’ organized by the New Youth Forum during the Christmas holiday.
On 22/12, I went to Beijing with my teammates via a whole day train journey. I used to think that staying on the train for a whole day was terrible but somehow, it turned out to be a comfortable journey. During the journey, I played and chatted with my friends about arts and our dreams. It was then that we started to develop our friendship.
Moreover, I had a deep feeling about these few days because the journey has enriched my cultural knowledge and my creativity in arts. The most unforgettable activity was sightseeing in Beijing where I saw many buildings whic were built in traditional Chinese style. I had an interview with some old Beijing people. I asked them about their views on the invasion of foreign culture. Surprisingly, their answer was not what I had expected. They thought that there is no invasion of foreign culture. They said that if the Chinese wants to develop ‘Chinese’ arts better, it is necessary for them to learn more from foreign countries. After the interview, I learnt a lot. Besides, I found that Beijing people are very nice and friendly.
I also joined a Christmas party one night. I had a great chance to have a talk with a Beijing film director. He encouraged me to go for my dream. His sharing has helped me to enhance my confidence in achieving my dream.
During the visit, I gained friendship, experience and knowledge. I believe I am not the frog in the shallow well anymore.
Go for your dream!

中文辯論隊早前參加了由大埔青年協會主辦的第一屆大埔區學界辯論比賽,經過連場比賽後,我校中文辯論隊成功勇奪第一屆大埔區學界辯論比賽冠軍,這亦是我校中文辯論隊成立一年以來的第一個冠軍。同時,4B班梁美珊同學於初賽中獲得最佳辯論員獎,4E班林曼雲同學則於決賽中獲得了最佳辯論員獎。
中文辯論課程的同學和中文辯論學會的會員,亦有前往觀看賽事,既為中文辯論隊打氣,亦可汲取辯論經驗。觀賞緊張刺激的比賽,令同學獲益良多,以下是部分同學的觀後感。
辯論比賽後感
星期六那天看完辯論比賽,發現觀眾也可以吸收很多知識。另外,辯論選手也需要有良好的臨場反應,還有強勁有力的聲線和清晰的咬字。這也是我需要繼續努力學習的。
我方選手準備的資料十分充足,而且界題也不片面,亦有利我方。比賽時,隊員們沉著應戰,自信冷靜。觀賞比賽後,令我明白到說話的語氣,充足的例子,有助增強論點的說服力。
總括而言,看完這次比賽,令我明白到辯論比賽中每位選手都要有足夠的自信心,才可以流暢地闡述自己的立場,震懾對手。
十一月九日,我去了梁省德小學觀看一場頓精彩的辯論比賽,我校為正方。
首先,我想簡短地講述一下參加辯論班的原因和對辯論的看法。起初,我認為辯論是一場富有針對,或攻擊性的口舌之爭。但因為一股莫名的吸引力,帶我走進訓練班當中。
但今次的觀戰經歷,令我獲益不少。第一,預備一定要充足。我常常認為預備充足,遇到突發問題,也能應付得來。雖然這只是逢一必知的道理。我不知道雙方的預備時間有多少,但他們付出的努力是不能預計的。
第二,自信。從踏進比賽場地那一刻,就必定要抱著自信與冷靜的心態,給人一個具自信的印象,是一種應有的風度。
第三,語速。要調節好時間,因為時間有限。太快可能咬字不清,讓人摸不著頭腦;但太慢卻不夠時間述說觀點。當日的兩隊都做得不錯,能盡量運用時間。
第四,應準確的針對題目,若果偏離了題目的意思,即使說話有多流暢,那只是徒然的。當天的兩隊搜集了很多資料,全部皆對己方有利,非常厲害。
希望未來會有更多機會再觀戰,增加更多知識,得到更多的啟發!
這次觀看辯論比賽後實在獲益良多,使我覺得辯論非常刺激。
這次比賽後我發現自信是極為重要的,而我校的主辯及第一副辯都具備這條件,一出場便非常有霸氣,彷彿已預知會勝利般,這表現亦讓我對我校辯論隊取勝很有信心。
看這這場比賽後我得知結辯應是最困難,最大壓力的角色。她們要摘錄好筆記,適當地總結全隊的觀點,亦要有力地反駁對手的觀點作完整的收結,這應該是一個很關鍵的角色。
十一月十九日,我們觀看了一場精采的辯論比賽。是次比賽的題目是「補習導師不應明星化」,我校為正方。
這次比賽增加了我對辯論的認識和清楚明白開辯、副辯和結辯的運作。辯員緊扣辯題發揮,見解精確;立場鮮明,論點充足,論據充分。我校第二副辯曾提出一個比喻「糖果的味道不好,包裝如何精美華麗,也是於事無補」,意念新鮮,一針見血,緊扣題目。辯員以具體觀點和實際、大眾化的例子準確回應友方發言,妥善銜接話題,令我印象深刻。
技巧方面,辯員時間分配得宜,用詞準確,詞彙豐富雅正。而且辯員發言清晰,聲量充足,字字鏗鏘。速度方面,辯員雖有點快,但停頓適當。眼神照應全場,手勢配合內容,態度得體有禮。
這次的辯論比賽真的令我大開眼界。
