Turtles are the best pets because they are independent and quiet. They enjoy swimming and sunbathing in their tanks. They stretch their arms and legs, looking like Superman as they enjoy their sunbath.
Turtles are easy to care for; you just need to feed them on time and change the water in the tank daily. They love to crawl on the ground and climb up on the hand of their favourite person.
Turtles make good pets. They do not show the same affection that dogs do, but they still grow to form a special bond with their owners.

Mental health support in Hong Kong schools has become a key focus in response to rising student stress and depression.
Reforms such as reduced homework, school counselling and anti-bullying campaigns aim to ease academic pressure and foster safer environments. These efforts help reduce stigma and build resilience.
However, challenges remain, including uneven implementation, limited resources, and persistent academic stress.
While schools play a vital role, broader societal support is essential for lasting impact.

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the British town of Stratford. When he was 28, he started to appear on stages in London. Queen Elizabeth I was a big fan of his plays.
Shakespeare’s company built its own theatre called the Globe in 1599. Plays were staged in the afternoon under an open roof. He would also go on tour.
Everyone likes Shakespeare’s plays. He even invented some common words we use today!
