Skipping Homework!
Why Homework?
The idea of homework is not to punish you or to take up all your free time. It is to make you more knowledgeable in many areas and therefore more employable when you leave school. It also improves your thinking so you can deal with more problems in life.
Danger of Skipping Homework
The more you skip homework, the less practice your mind gets at dealing with problems. You have more trouble finding knowledge and remembering what you learn.
Best Way to do Homework
The best way to get your homework done is to have the right attitude. Just realize that you have to do it, then get it done as soon as you can. Putting it off doesn’t work. You will sometimes run out of time or something will happen to stop you from getting it done on time.
Believe me! Every minute you spend on your homework is improving you in some way. It will either improve your knowledge, improve your thinking skills, or improve your self-discipline. Any one of these will benefit you in life and make you ahead of many people throughout your life.
(Adapted from http://www.users.bigpond.com/rdoolan/homework.html)
If you are having difficulty with your homework, go to your teacher before the deadline. Don’t just skip it! Skipping homework without informing or discussing with your teacher is actually very rude and disrespectful!

Learning English well?
Many English learners hope to learn English well. They hope to become fluent users of English, having no difficulties communicating with English-speaking people. Some of them even hope to attain native level! In order to achieve all this, they work very hard. They read, write, listen to and speak English whenever it is possible. They do a lot of practices because they realise practice makes perfect. They also understand this is the only way to test their understanding. I think doing all this does help. But the key to success in learning English is you open up your mind to learn it.
Why do you learn English? A lot of learners don’t have an answer. They complain doing English exercises boring. They complain reading English books boring. They complain watching English movies with no subtitles boring. They complain the English curriculum boring. They complain English lessons boring. They complain learning English grammar boring. They complain the teacher boring. They complain everything.
Are you learning English for yourself? For communicating with the world? For building up your knowledge, using English as a tool? For broadening your horizon? For increasing your competitiveness? For shaping a better self? What is your reason?
Many learners think their English is already good. They don’t realise their English still carries a lot of weird mistakes. A lot of learners do not learn English well because they do not open up their mind to learn it. When will English learners in Hong Kong make up their mind to learn the language well?

Be My Valentine!
Baby Jesus in Virgin Mary's arms
“The historic record of the birth of Christ can be found in Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 2:1-20.
Unlike any other baby, the one born that night in Bethlehem was unique in all of history. He was not created by a human father and mother. He had a heavenly pre-existence (John 1:1-3, 14). He is God, the Son—Creator of the universe (Philippians 2:5-11). This is why Christmas is called the incarnation, a word which means “in the flesh.” In the birth of Jesus, the eternal, all-powerful and all-knowing Creator came to earth in the flesh.
Why would God do such a thing? Why would he come as a baby, instead of appearing in power and majesty? Why make himself a true man and live among us, when he knew full well how terribly he would be treated?
It was LOVE! It was necessary, if you are to be saved!

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
This is a carol I often sang at Chrismas when I was a child. I still find it very cute!
Note: Santa Claus is spelled wrong as Santa “Clause” in the video. Don’t make this mistake in your work!
