Dragonwings Scene.Pg197-198

Suddenly the door banged open and Father stumbled out with his clothes all in a bundle. "It's an earthquake, I think, " he and I shouted. He had washed his hair the night before and had not had time to twist it into a queue, so it hung down his black long and black.
He looked around in the back yard. It was such a wide, open space that we were fairly safe there. Certainly more safe than in the frame doorway of our stable. He got into his pants and shirt and then his socks and boots.
"Do you think one of the mean dragons is doing all this?" I asked him.
"Maybe. Maybe not." Father had sat down to stuff his feet into his boots. "Time to wonder about that later. Now you wait here."
"No, I want to tell to the neighbors and Miss Whitlaw that the earthquake will happen soon."
"Son, It is very danger now. Earthquake will happen at any moment." Father shouted at me.
I wanted to retort him. When I tried to shout, the city bells was ringing. They were rung by no human hand---the earthquake had just shaken them in their steeples.The second tremor was worse than the first. From all over came an immense wall of noise: of metal tearing, of bricks crashing, of wooding breaking free from wood nails, and all. Everywhere, what man had built came undone. I was looking at a tenement house to our right and it just seemed to shudder and then collapse. One moment there were solid wooden walls and the next moment it had fallen with the cracking of wood and the tinkling of glass and the screams of people inside and I was the people who screamed too.
"Now you can see how danger it is. Stay here and calm down yourself" Father said and gave me a pat.
"I am sorry." I said it in a soft voice.

newspaper response--small class teaching

Small class teaching can let students easily understand what teacher said and teachers also can manage their students easily. Small class teaching may also increase the average marks of the students because of teachers can use different kinds of teaching materials to let students enjoy the lessons and students won't think the lessons are boring.
Also, small class teaching can reduce the pressure of the teachers and teachers can know more information of their students. Students' parents will feel more relived and many students will agree this project. I am student and I agree small class teaching because I think teachers will know what kinds of knowledge is suitable for us.
The defects of small class teaching are the school need to pay much money than now and need to open more classes to take care the students. The schools also may not have enough money to employ teachers. I think the department of education need to open some courses to train the teachers. Small class teaching will be the important event if the department really can do it.

History Assignment of 22.4.08

I think Hong Kong didn't foster and promote those qualities that we consider paramount in order to be a good inventor. I think Hong Kong should foster and promote those qualities and I think they could held some courses about foster those qualities. Methodist College should also held some courses about that because I think those qualities are useful for us. We need to use creative and imaginative to creat new things.
