Our next question: If you could bring one sport from the Asian Games to your school, which would it be? To take part, drop us a line via this form by 12pm on Tuesday, September 29.
Aimee Cheng Sin-yu, 12, Carmel Alison Lam Foundation Secondary School: I would want to find a cat. This is because I do not see any cats at school, and cats are cute. I do not want to see homework every time I open my school bag. That is so bad.
Chung Pui-wai, 14, TWGHs Li Ka Shing College: I would choose Doraemon’s memory bread. It would help me memorise a tremendous amount of information quickly, allowing me to spend more time understanding difficult concepts, doing exercises and practising past papers. Although it would not replace genuine understanding, it could make revision more efficient. Better still, it could satisfy my hunger during long study sessions. What more could I ask for?
Linus Poon Long-yat, 15, Immaculate Heart of Mary College: A bag of currency would be great! Well, maybe I’m a bit greedy, but buying a house near my school is surely what I need. I could take a break at lunchtime at home and shower easily after exercising at school. Moreover, having an endless supply of money would definitely enable me to enjoy life more.
Williams Ekeji, 15, CCC Kung Lee College: I would pick classic cheeseburgers. Why? So I could start a food stall business with zero ingredient costs or give warm meals to people who need them. Let’s be honest, I would eventually get sick of eating cheeseburgers every single day. Turning an infinite supply of burgers into a business and sharing the rest just makes sense, so there you have it.
Kayton Chu Kai-yan, 15, Pui Kiu College: I would hope it would be box lunches. Although I’d rather buy from my school canteen, many of my classmates would prefer not to and either bring snacks themselves or skip lunch – just to save money. Many of them probably do not find school meals worth it, but as I am aware of the health concerns, I would really want them to have a better eating routine. Plus, maybe a box lunch would make their day.
Renee Lui Wing-yi, 13, St Mary’s Canossian College: Imagine: your teacher says, “Take out a piece of single-lined paper for a quiz”, and the stack of paper you swear you had this morning suddenly disappears. You’re forced to awkwardly borrow a sheet and receive judgmental side-eyes. If endless lined paper could spawn whenever I open my schoolbag, I would never have to worry about running out again. I would also gain prestige by lending paper to my classmates like a respected merchant.
Juniper Lai Hiu-yan, 13, St Paul’s Co-educational College: I would hope it could spawn a video of the best memories I had with my friends, which only I could see. I don’t usually have the motivation to go to school, so every night when I pack my bag, those memories can flow out and remind me that school is also a chance for me to be with my friends. And during break time at school, I could open my bag to see the video for motivation when I’m tired of learning.
Sin Cheuk-ying, 14, Ho Yu College and Primary School (Sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen): The classroom air conditioner remote control. Our room is eternally freezing, so controlling its climate would instantly make me the ruler of the classroom.
Lui Hiu-tung, 14, Madam Lau Kam Lung Secondary School of MFBM: I would want pens. I often run out of ink in class, and it troubles me a lot. If my bag could provide me with endless pens, I could write notes and finish homework easily. I would not need to bring spares.
Shirley Li Hiu-lui, 15, Kowloon True Light School: I think it would be random restaurant coupons, so I would not have to worry and think about what to eat for lunch. Every time I would want to go out for lunch, I could just open my bag and randomly grab a coupon – like a blind box every day. And I could also share it with my friends, so we all don’t have to worry about lunch any more.
