Marissa To (aged 8), Pui Ching Primary School

I went to the Coldplay concert with my family recently. I was surprised that there were so many people.

My favourite Coldplay songs are “Yellow” and “Paradise”. The song “Yellow” is about people who are like stars. “Paradise” is about believing good things can happen. The concert had colourful lights in the shape of hearts. The music made me feel excited. The crowd sang and clapped together.

During the song “We Pray”, two guest artists joined the band. One of them was from Hong Kong, and I felt very proud. I want to see Coldplay again to hear their new songs.

Vittoria Serafino (aged 7), The International Montessori School

I have a hamster called Little Paw. He is a Golden Hamster, which means he is bigger than usual.

He was found in a box next to a rubbish bin, and we adopted him. He likes to sleep during the day because he is nocturnal, and I want to wake him up a lot to play with me. Like other hamsters, he puts food into his cheeks.

I named him Little Paw because he has tiny paws. People should not abandon their pets; I am glad we found him and gave him a home.

Alfie Tang Yu-chih (aged 8), Spanish School of Hong Kong

During my Easter holiday, I went to Japan for the first time.

I visited the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium, which was exciting. Orcas, also known as killer whales, are intelligent animals due to their playful and sociable behaviour.

Next, we saw dolphins. They performed their best in the shows as they jumped up to touch the dangling bright orange balls with their shiny nose. Then we saw the cheeky beluga whales. Their show was hilarious because when the zookeeper asked them to do tricks, they would ask for more food. I had such a wonderful day with my family.
