Jack Yuen Chun-kit (aged 9), Creative Primary School

Last Christmas holiday, my family and I went to Beijing. It was a lot of fun, and I wish I could be there again.

The most interesting thing there was the Great Wall of China. You can’t see the end even if you stand right in the middle. In the olden days, the Great Wall of China protected the country from those trying to attack it.

The Great Wall of China has multiple routes and is the most amazing structure I have seen.

The hotels in Beijing are excellent, too.

Our hotel had a swimming pool, but it was too cold, so we could not use it.

Jayden Chan Ho-yu (aged 7), St Paul’s College Primary School

I recently visited the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Jockey Club Centennial Centre in Tsing Yi.

We saw a lot of animals, like dogs, cats, rabbits, and parrots. Most of the animals there have been rescued by SPCA inspectors, and they are all looking for a new home.

Some of the animals had a tough time before coming to the SPCA, but now they are so happy. You can download the SPCA Adoption Date app to adopt one of these animals.

Visiting the SPCA centre was a special day, and I really hope all the animals there can find a home soon.

Hailey Shing Yik-hey (aged 10), Kowloon Junior School

My favourite subject in school is English writing. It is valuable because I learn techniques to improve my writing.

One of my hobbies is reading, which gives me new ideas and interesting vocabulary. I particularly enjoy reading historical and nonfiction books because I learn new things, but I also love fantasy and fiction, which inspire me to create my own stories.

Another hobby is playing netball. I enjoy being part of the team and participating in interschool competitions.
