I have just read an article ‘Creationism row hots up as objectors fight back’ dated 15May, 2009, Education, South China Morning Post.
A group of 64, 40 academics and 7 teachers, intensified the argument of teaching creationism in school biology lessons by signing a statement calling for controversial curriculum guidelines to be retained.
This group was formed after some scientists at the HKU accused the Education Bureau of encouraging the teaching of creationism through its guidelines for the new senior secretly. After that over 400 people formed a concern group against it.
In my views, creationism should not be in the curriculum of senior since it is not an actual scientific theory. Creationism never has honest proof except of the bible. It can only be include in Theology, no Biology.
To me, it was the artifice of people whose believe in God to load Christianity into teenage minds, turn them against Darwin before they can think deeply about the Darwinian Theory, and blockade the spread of scientism which made me pique.

I have read a piece of news about our Chief Executive Donald Tsang has to apologise for his speech which is concerned his feeling of June 4 incident .
He said that June 4 is history , he had spoken for Hong Kong . Then all 23 pan – democrats walked out due to Donald Tsang ‘s provoking speech and it led the meeting adjourned for seven minutes before resuming without them .
The pan – democrats claimed that Donald Tsang have raped public opinion in order to escape the responsibility .
In this case , we can see Donald Tsang is not the suitable Chief Executive of Hong Kong because of his nonsen . He hadn’t think thrice before his act . Therefore , he is criticized by many citizens .
If I were Donald Tsang I would resign the position of Chief Executive immediately. It’s because I don’t want to see Hong Kong is destroyed by myself !

I have read a news in the south china morning post which is on 15th may ,2009.
The news was on page A5.
The news was talking about flu break. Secretary for Health and Food York Chow Yat-ngok made the promise after meeting representatives of schools and principal’s associations. Dr
Chow believed that if there is really the need to close down schools, they would have
sufficient time for schools to prepare before making announcement. The news also said that a data showing children those younger than 15 might be at a higher risk .Kindergarten Association chair-woman Mary Tong Siu-fun said they had begun their pre parathions in case the government announced the close all schools due to a swine flu outbreak . She said most kindergartens had prepared home exercises for students, to enable them to continue studying at home after schools were closed.

The consequence will be very serious if all schools are closed. It is because all students cannot studying at school . They will miss a lot of important knowledge . In june , all students
should have a exam . If the schools close at this moment , students will not get a good result at the exam . I think the flu virus will not affect us if we can always clean ourselves so there is no reason for government to close the schools this moment. Anyway , school should prepare
some homework to students. If schools were closed , students can study themselves at home.

I have read an article in South China Morning Post on May 15,2009. The title of article is ‘June 4 is history, I speak for HK, says Tsang – then has to apologise’. The article is about Donald Tsang was been forced to apologise after claiming to speak for ‘Hong Kong people’ in expressing hopes for an ‘objective’ assessment’ of the Tiananman Square crackdown in light of China’s economic development.
Personally, it is good that Donald Tsang apologise for his speech. He can clarify what he wants to say and what the stage he stands for. Giving him one more chance, he can explain his view clearly and carefully.
In spite of the apology, I think public will consider he is against democracy. The public will not trust him anymore because he said he can represent the view of Hong Kong people of June 4 incident. Indeed, no one can represent the other’s opinion. Thus, this speech makes the public angry.

I have just read an article” School closures ‘only if needed‘ “

Recently, people all over the world were filled with anxiety about swine flu out break. Secretary for Health and Food York Chow Yat-ngok made the pledge after meeting representatives of schools and principals’ associations.’ According to the character of the virus, we believe that if there is really the need to close down schools, we will have sufficient time for schools to prepare before making announcement,’ Dr Chow said.

In my opinion, we can derive great experience from SARS out break in 2003. During SARS out break, teachers uploaded teaching materials on to internet, prepared home exercises for students. Those methods can enable students to continue studying at home after schools were closed.

If schools are closed down, it will cause a lot of problems and inconveniences. Courses’ progress may be very slow. School may need to condense the courses, otherwise summer holidays will be affected. Therefore, Education Department should anticipate related directions for school, it can prevent to make a mess when we need to suspend classes.

I have read the news on the South China morning Post that entitled “June 4 is history, I speak for HK, says Tsang – then has to apologise’ on fifteen of May. Donald Tsang’s response to a question about the June 4 crackdown prompts a Legco walkout by pan-democrat lawmakers, who watch from outside the chamber as the chief executives his question-and-answer session. Their signs say,’ Donald Tsang does not represent me.’ I think he do right to apologise after claiming to speak for ‘Hong Kong People’ in expressing feeling of himself. On the other hand, the government of China should do something for the June 4 and show its responsibility for the dead students and their parents. The government should deny its wrong and give compensation for their parents. Donald Tsang should know that there are many voice on the incident of June 4. He should respect the different views and feeling of the citizens and speaking more carefully.

I’ve read a piece of news on the South China Morning Post which was entitle ‘’June 4
is history , I speak for HK, says Tsang - then has to apologize ‘’
Donald Tsang Yam-kuen was forced to apologize after claiming to speak for ‘’Hong Kong people ’’in expressing hopes for an ‘’objective assessment’’ of the Tiananmen Square crackdown in light of China’s economic development.
As the chief executive of Hong Kong, I think he should not give comment on such a sensitive incident like this. No matter which side does he supports, he still may encounter the criticism.
His opinion may sometimes represent Hong Kong people, but his opinion may not all always be the voice of Hong Kong people.
Take me as an example , I don’t think I will forget the truth of June 4 just because of
Chinese government has done a lot of work improving the economy of China. I am still waiting for the apology of Chinese government on the incident of June 4.

The government hasn’t said anything about the MPF problem since the financial tsunami happened. Not until the tsunami seemed to subside did the government discuss about this problem. An article was posted on the SCMP on 15th May 2009 which was entitled “MPF review to consider early use of retirement funds”. The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority will consider allowing people to withdraw the money from their pension accounts before retirement. This consideration is meaningful because there might be some people needing some emergency money, but they just have money in the pension accounts, if this suggestion is approved, they can use this money to ease their financial burden. Also, I don’t think MPF is useful for saving money for our retirement. All the MPF money must be invested, when we meet some financial crisis, there will be a loss in MPF money. Just take this tsunami as an example, many of us lose quite a big amount of their MPF money. I do think we will save money on our own accord if we want a comfortable retirement and we can avoid the necessary loss.

Our chief executive, Donald Tsang has claimed that he represented all of the Hong Kong citizens, his ideals represented all our ideas. What a foolish speak it was. It was the second times he gave stupid talk, last time he claimed culture revolution was the effect of the ultra-democracy.
I’m so disappointed to hear that he was forced to apologize, I do hope he would apologize actively but not forced by others. In the past, I wondered whether he was a good leader of not, but today, I am sure he shouldn’t be able to be our chief executive any more. Donald Tsang would only bring Hong Kong into a dead end and end up with a tragedy!

I have just read the article about the school closures on the South China Morning Post. Because of the swine flu, the government pays more attention to the primary schools and kindergartens because it is so easily for the children to contact it. All of schools have some precautions for students. They have prepared the study to students at home when it is necessary to suspend the classes. For example, students can go to the internet to download the homework, teachers can teach students in the via video or upload teaching materials. The schools think that the swine flu can’t interrupt the studying.
Meanwhile, many schools organise oversea study tours in the summer. The government hopes them they can pay more attention to their health. If students feel unwell, they should see the doctor immediately
I think the schools do well for this incident. Although the swine flu may be overbreak ,it don’t interrupt our studying. It is good for all students especially who study in F.5 and F.7 next year because they can pick the schedule for studying.

I have read an article which entitled‘June 4 is history, I speak for HK, says Tsang – then has to apologise’,was published in South China Morning Post on May 15,2009.

In this article,Donald Tsang was forced to apologise after claiming to speak for "Hong Kong people" in expressing hopes for an "objective assessment" of the Tianamen Square crackdown in light of China's economic development.

I was quite pleasant that he can apologise for his mistake in public because it is difficult for him to do this."If this has caused any person any misunderstanding, I am prepared to offer my apology."
He sais.

Besides,it is a great opportunity for us to learn that we must be responsible for our behaviour and respect the different views of the others.Otherwise,we will get into a big trouble.

I have just read an article 'June 4 is history, I speak for HK, says Tsang - then has to apologise' in SCMP on 15th May.Tsang said he spoke for HK when answering others question about June 4 incident.He was forced to apologise for his statement.
First,I think Tsang was just careless when saying that he speak for HK.In his apology,he admitted that the way of saying that was wrong.He said he didn't mean that.
Secondly,Tsang's action was done very fast.He made his apology just after one and a half hour.It is clear that he knew he was wrong,which a lot of offical didn't think they were wrong.
I think people should understand Tsang's standpoint.HKSAR belongs to China.China doesn't want to face the 4 June incident and trys not to discuss it.It is impossible of Tsang to say something which is against China's standpoint.People should not criticze him blindly if he said he didn't support 4 June incident.

I have read the news on the South China morning Post that entitled “June 4 is history, I speak for HK, says Tsang – then has to apologise’ on fifteen of May.

Donald Tsang Yam-kuen was forced to apologize after claiming to speak for ‘Hong Kong people ’in expressing hopes for an ‘objective assessment’ of the Tiananmen Square crackdown in light of China’s economic development. Also, the Civic Party’s Margaret Ng Ngoi–yee said that Donald Tsang did not represent us. After that she left the chamber with other 22 pan-democrats.

Although Donald Tsang apologize to hongkongers, he should introspect himself and mark sure that he will not have this mistake in further. On behalf of the Hong Kong Government, he should response the answers scrupulously.

In my opinion, he should allow that China did wrong in the past and apologise to the student’s parents. Also, he should know that different hongkongers have different feelings and views on the June 4 incident. He should not represent hongkongers to response the answers.

I have read a news entitled “June 4 is history ,I speak for HK, says TSANG-THEN has to apologise ”Donald Tsang criticized “June 4 history ” in a “different” way . He think that we do not need to know about that issue and just remember China having a great growth of nation's economy.
I am so curious why Mr Tsang said that silly things? I think that he may have prepared about discussing “June 4 issue” as it must be discuss every years ! And
He must know how to answer this questions in a “suitable”way as he works a long time in HK political circles . He must have worked many hours and he feel tried so when he answered this kind of questions, he talked nonsense. Or, he want to show his loyal to mainland immediately !?

Donald Tsang Yam-kuen was forced to apologize after claiming to speak for ‘Hong Kong people’ in answering the question which the Civic party’s Margaret Ng Ngoi-yee asked about June 4 incident. Mr. Tsang’s remarks led to uproar among pan-democrats and drew jeers from the public gallery.
In my point view, Mr. Tsang had made a big mistake in the Legislative Council. Allowed for his social status, he should know what words he could use or he couldn’t use in different occasions. Someone indicated Mr. Tsang spoke with a draft accordingly and the draft was written by another people. Unless he hadn’t checked the draft, he should not make this mistake.
In Mr. Tsang’s remarks, he had mentioned his view represents the opinion of Hongkongers in general, and the opinion of citizens had affected his view. That’s absolutely rubbish! No one can represent other people! For example, school principle would not speak on behalf of teachers and students in any incident as he or she knew that everyone had different viewpoints in every incident.

I have read an article entitled “June 4 is history, I speak for HK, says Tsang – then has to apologize” on South China Morning Post on 15th May, 2009. Mr. Tsang gave out his own view on June 4 and he said that he represented all of the Hong Kong people. So he had to apologize that he had raped public opinion.

Since Mr. Tsang’s view of June 4 is political and subjective, he should not say that he represents the Hong Kongers to give out his own view. Maybe it will become a political problem between China and Hong Kong. I hope the administrative personnel should take their responsibilities on everything they have said.

I have watched many TV programs about June 4 which is not well-known in China. What I mean is that the China government keeps the truth of June 4 as a secret. On my point of view, they should face up to this problem, and give an apology to the fatalities.

“Tests find illegal additive in meat” from South China Morning Post.

I know that farmers tend to inject cows with hormone, in order to help them grow faster. But now the toxic sulfur dioxide is added into the meat to brighten its colour. It’s quite serious that asthma and headaches will be developed if eater is allergic to the chemical.
Remember once I went supermarket with my grandma. She knew that I love beef, so she showed me a piece of beef and asked if we bought it or not. I stared the beef. It was fluorescent red, the first fluorescent beef I had seen. So I was lucky that I hadn’t bought and eaten it.

The report I've just seen is called 'School closures "only if needed"' posted in SCMP on 15May 2009 which is about whether school closures are needed during the flu outbreak.
'Schools would be closd down according to the character of the virus' generally is the government's opinion.Some schools,however,are concidering whether to condense some courses in order to avoid the summer holidays beeing affected.They are trying to teach students via video through TV equipment.Some says they will do those things such as uploading teaching materials onto the internet just like during the Sars outbreak.
This swine flu outbreak,though,is much more minor than the Sars,government treat it even more seriously because of the painful experience during the Sars.WE can find that quite obviously through the ergent screening when a patient
was found.Nonetheless,school closures have not yet be put into practice as during the Sars.I am quite shocked that no schools have closed down since the swine flu is a deadly disease which aims at the youngsters.it is fairly dangerous for them to stay at kindergartens,primary schools or secondary schools.What i reckon is It is valuable to avoid risking losing the lifes through closing down the schools which is not essential for youngsters to gain knowledge.
