Part A : Seen Dictation (90%)

When you are on the bus or the train, you should never put your feet on the seats. Good manners make the journey better for everyone.

This morning I saw Kelly at the school entrance. She gave me a note. It said, ‘I’m sorry, Jane. Please forgive me.’ I smiled and said, ‘I’m sorry too. I spoke rudely to you yesterday.’ Now we are friends again. Hurray!

From this experience I learnt that friends should say sorry to one another after a quarrel. Then we can get on with each other again!

Many years ago, there were two sisters called Mia and Sara. Their father was very sick. He told his daughters, ‘I can’t give you expensive gifts, but take these necklaces. When I’m gone, look at them and remember I loved you.’

Soon after, the man died. The girls wore their necklaces all the time. One day, Mia’s necklace broke and fell into a lake. She was very upset. Suddenly, a mermaid appeared. ‘I lost my jewellery,’ Mia told her sadly.

The mermaid dived down and returned with a beautiful crystal bracelet. ‘Is this bracelet yours?’ she asked. Mia shook her head.

Dan was going on a study tour to England. The day before he left, Mum asked, ‘Have you packed yet?’ Dan was playing a game. ‘Erm, no, I haven’t,’ he said. What about the present for Mr and Mrs Scott?’ Mum asked. ‘Dad has already bought it,’ said Dan. ‘But I haven’t wrapped it yet. It’s a Chinese teapot.’ ‘A teapot?’ questioned Mum. ‘I hope it doesn’t break.’

Mum turned off the game. Dan groaned. ‘Come on! You need to pack. I can’t do everything for you,’ said Mum.

Dan flew to England the next day. A few days later, Mum sent a text message to Dan.

Everybody loves holidays but we spend them on different ways. Have you been to some fun places in Hong Kong? Have you ever travelled outside Hong Kong? Here are some pupils’ holiday experiences.

I have only travelled outside Hong Kong once. Last Christmas, my family went skiing in Korea. At first, I fell down a lot, but I kept trying and on the last day I skied all the way down the mountain. The cold air on my face felt so fresh!

My favourite activity was snow tubing. It was fast and exciting. I also loved riding on the ski lift – until my boot fell off.
