Gabriel Julien Ling (aged 10), French International School

Niu Niu’s fingers danced across the piano, captivating my gaze as I watched the renowned Chinese pianist play. During Niu Niu’s rehearsal with the Hong Kong Philharmonic String Quintet, they played Schubert’s Trout.

Niu Niu’s movements were as much a spectacle to the eyes as the music was to the ears.

I had the chance to speak to Niu Niu, who told me that when he was younger, he enhanced his emotions by watching sad movies. Now, he draws from his own experiences.

At the end of the rehearsal, Niu Niu invited me to join him in playing a four-hand duet.

Archish Arvind (aged 10), Nord Anglia International School Lam Tin

After a long day at school, a driving-based video game helps me unwind before moving on to other activities.

We must think, strategise, analyse and make decisions quickly while playing video games. When a game is won or well played, it boosts our confidence.

Games also help us develop our maths and physics skills.

Some video games soothe one’s mind. Multiplayer games help expand our social circle.

Video games foster many benefits if we choose to play the better ones with set time limits.

Saanvi Jain (aged 9), Kowloon Junior School

My favourite subject is maths. I learn different techniques to be better at maths.

I always ask for feedback from either a student or a teacher.

Singing is my top hobby. I like it because I can improve my voice, and it’s lots of fun.

To be specific, I like fast and fun music.

Another hobby of mine would be art because you can have competitions and talent with art, and it might take time, but the result would probably be worth it, and it is enjoyable.
