Frankie is reading a letter to the editor in the magazine. Read it carefully and answer
the questions.
Dear Editor,
I was upset after I read the article ‘The Forgotten Village’ in your magazine on
25th October 20XX. The article is about an old village in Yuen Long where nobody is
living in anymore.
5 This village is where I spent most of my childhood. When I was twelve years old, my
family moved to the USA. Back then I often played at the smallest stream in the
village with my friends after school. We used to catch fish with small nets. We took
the fish home so that our mothers could cook the fish for dinner. Since our families
were poor, instead of being upset, our mothers were always pleased with us when we
10 brought the fish home.
In winter, we didn’t play at the stream because it was so cold. Instead, my friend
Eddy and I often played in a small dark cave near the village. We pretended it was a
ghost house. Eddy made a fire with firewood and we told ghost stories. My little
brother never went with us because he said he could hear strange noises in the cave.
15 He was as timid as a mouse. I didn’t hear anything so we kept on going there. It
wasn’t dangerous to play in a small cave.
Your article said that the government would break down all the houses in the village
and build new housing estates there. I am very disappointed with these actions if
they really take place. I think the village is a valuable place. We should keep it and
20 turn it into an outdoor museum for children to learn about life in the past.
I am really concerned. I don’t want the village to disappear. I hope someone will stop
these plans.

Martin wrote an email to his friend, Leonard. Read the information carefully and choose
the best answers.
To: leonard_cheng@hkmail.com
From: martin_lk99@netreach.com
Hi Leonard,
Yesterday was Kindness Day at my school. It was meaningful to spend the day doing
volunteer work with the other members of the Charity Club.
First, we visited a home for the elderly. Mrs Leung said that we could either read
5 to an elderly or help to tidy up the residents’ rooms. I chose the first option
because I’m good at it. I read several newspaper articles to an old man who used to
be a reporter. His name was Mr So. He was very thankful for my help because the
words are usually too small for him to read. He said he was really pleased with our
visit since he hasn’t read a newspaper for a long time.
10 Next, we went to several housing estates and collected books and toys. Although
most of the toys were cheap, we made sure only to take books and toys that were in
good condition. Then we gave them to the kids living in a children’s home. The kids
were surprised when they saw the gifts. Just click on the attached photo and see
how big their smiles were.
15 Finally, we went back to school and used chalk to draw big happy faces on the wall
surrounding the school. It may not sound like much, but our ‘street smiles’ brought
a real smile to the face of everyone who walked past. Who knew that turning a
boring wall into a work of art could have such a positive impact? It was amazing
that we could make such a huge difference to the neighbourhood.
20 Kindness Day was a huge success! It is indeed meaningful to help people in need.
When I grow up, I want to be a social worker and help as many people as I can!
