Pluto is a dwarf planet; humans declared it to be one in 2006 since it is so small. It has little “ice mountains” on the surface. Scientists think the inside is actually water.
Pluto’s normal distance from the sun is 5.9 billion km. The closest Pluto ever gets to the sun is 4,436,820,000km. Did you know that Pluto’s surface temperature is -228 degrees Celsius? This is because Pluto is very far away from the sun. The farther away the planet is from the sun, the slower it is to orbit.
Pluto is a part of the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt is full of ice bodies – tiny ice particles and pieces of rock.

We went to the public library in Sham Shui Po during our school’s reading week.
Hong Kong’s public libraries give us many surprises. Not only is the environment comfortable, but they also have many interesting and inspiring books.
Reading often allows people to enter a mysterious world and feel its mysteries. So our mother usually takes us to different libraries and has a pleasant afternoon.
We hope all children will often read and find happiness in their reading life.

History might seem dull at first, but with patience and time, you can learn about history from a different perspective.
My favourite historical event is the American Revolution, mostly because I enjoyed the musical Hamilton. Alexander Hamilton, the first US secretary of state, was shot by Aaron Burr.
Years later, it would be revealed that descendants of Burr and Hamilton are good friends. That is one way to end conflict.
