Jay Chuk (aged 10), Diocesan Boys’ School Primary Division

We should fix the space problem in Hong Kong. Since our land mass is small, renting land is especially expensive. This leads to shops having to raise the prices of products. By fixing our problem, not only can we satisfy our residents, but we can also make tourists from other places feel at home.

If we don’t fix this problem, residents will have less fun, convenience and comfort. The government should show that it cares about its people. We should use our space wisely. We can build taller flats which will have more living space for more residents.

Noelle Lui (aged 9), Bloom KCCA Academy

I recently co-authored a children’s book with my mum. It is about Sham Wan Beach, also called Turtle Beach, on Lamma Island. This beach is important for the survival of endangered green sea turtles and is one of the few sites in the South China Sea where they lay their eggs.

In the story, two cute green turtles named Aiden and Ave point out the impact of human activities on the beach environment. This book hopes that children will learn more about animals, promote their love of nature, and protect this beautiful beach. It is now available on Kindle and Goodreads.

Karin Lau Chin-yu (aged 10), Pui Ching Primary School

I want to be a teacher when I grow up because I want to help students. To be a teacher, I need to be careful so that I can mark homework and assessments correctly. I have to study hard to become a teacher, too.

I like reading Chinese books because they are interesting and funny. My favourite character is Hello Kitty because she is so cute.

It’s almost time for my exams, and I hope to get a perfect score. If I do, my parents will take me on a trip!

Karin hopes to get good marks on her upcoming exams. Photo: Handout
