Elvia Lee Hong-kiu (Aged 9), HKUGA Primary School

My favourite sport is fencing. I want to compete in the Olympics when I grow up.

I have been learning this sport since I was six years old. I have always loved this sport, and I want to continue doing it when I get older.

During practice, I warm up first before we do some exercises. I am now at the medium level. I am trying my best to improve quickly, and I practise every weekend. I hope everyone can enjoy this nice sport with me!

Curtis Chan Pak-wing (Aged 13), Pentecostal School

I recently realised that gaming is not that fun. When I was in Primary Five, I would play online games around the clock, and I often felt sick. Now, I realise that gaming is a waste of time. Gaming just brings some excitement in the beginning, but after that, I don’t feel happy at all.

Now, I have quit gaming, and I play more sports like badminton with friends at school. I also play Rubik’s Cube and compete with my friends. I feel happier after I let go of gaming.

Skyler and Thyler Ng (Aged 9), Spanish School of Hong Kong

Box of Hope is a charity that provides gifts, educational tools and hygiene items to underprivileged children in Hong Kong and other parts of Asia who may have never received a gift during Christmas. We learned that it is more blessed to give than to receive.

This year, we prepared 14 boxes for Box of Hope. Through the process of preparing gifts, wrapping the boxes, and writing unique messages in cards, we learned about kindness.

We hope the children who receive the gifts will have a happy Christmas.
