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.

At 12:30,we met Mr.Lee near the cable car station.We had a lesson of the giant panda.I learnt to observe the teeth of different kinds of animals and tried to classify what is the eating habit of them.
When we finished the lesson about panda,we went to the game stalls of kid's world.I spent fourty dollars but I didnt win any prize.Many people spent money on a game stall because of Franco won a bear from this game stall.That bear is huge and cute.They thought that it is easy to play. We spent estimate two hundred dollars even more for this game stall.
After half an hour,we took another lesson of dolphin.Echolocation is the the most unforgettable part.A teacher used echolocation to help me measure the height.I also learnt the five parts of dolphin's forelimb.
I belive that this trip is memorable.The purpose of going to Ocean Park not only for playing,we can still learn much knowledge of panda and dolphin.Therefore I hope that Mr.Woo will held the similiar kind of activities.
Thank you for Mr.Woo giving this chance to all of us.

My experience of 24.2.08

I went to Nathan Road with my groupmates at 5:00 p.m. We splited into two groups to ask foreigners about the questions of air pollution in Yau Ma Tei.Phyllis and I went to Eaton Hotel to do the interview.
When Phyllis was in charge of questions and I would wrote down the answer of foreigners,so that I have to pay attention on their conversation.From the beginning,it was quite smooth to get the comments from the foreigners, but sometimes it was impeded by couple of them just stayed in Hong Kong few days only,so that they had no idea for us. Some of them advised that their country 's air quality is better than Hong Kong and suggested their methods to solve the air pollution.
It is a good experience from this interview.I could learnt to take the notes in shorthand and be brave to face with the strangers.
