A personal Letter about clubs and facilities at your dream school

22nd September 2016
Hi Cindy,
How are you doing? Thanks for your letter it sounds like you are really enjoying your new school. I want to
tell you about my school. It’s called Isfand’s International School.
There are 20 students in my class. We all have an ipad pro. There’s a gymnasium, a swimming pool,
2 basketball courts, a canteen, a playground and a football pitch. The basketball court is my favourite place.
It’s next to the swimming pool. There are 60 classrooms. I am studying in form 1. We have Sports Day,
football matches, singing concerts and picnics.
There are a lot of clubs and extra-curricular activities at my school. We have Basketball Club, Volleyball Club,
Choir, Orchestra and Drama Club plus many more. I am in the Volleyball Club. I don’t like that club. I am
thinking of joining the Basketball Club. I can’t wait to learn how to play basketball.
The choir practices in the music room, the orchestra practices in the school hall, the drama club practices in
the gymnasium while the basketball and volleyball clubs practice at outside venues.
I think my school is big and modern. It’s a good place to study. I like my school because it has many activities
and different types of clubs.
It was great to hear from you and enjoy the rest of the term.
Cheers,
Isfand

An inspirational person

Have you heard of Desmond Doss? He was a US field medic during the Second World War.
The reason I admire him is because he didn’t carry a single weapon to protect himself on the hellish battlefield.
So, do you expect because of this he was killed in action? You’re wrong! In fact, he saved seventy-five people
during his service. Desmond’s bravery was recognized when he received the Purple Heart Medal and the
Medal of Honour, both of which are the highest achievements awarded by the US military.
Desmond Doss is inspirational to me because he had a daring heart to save his comrades without being afraid
of getting shot or killed. What is also amazing is that he didn’t kill a single person during World War Two,
even though it has the highest number of casualties recorded in the history of armed conflicts. His brave and
fearless dignity made him famous and inspirational to a lot of people, including me.
The movie ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ is about the heroic life of Desmond Doss. Watching this movie inspired me to
contribute more to valuing, and maybe one day even saving, others’ lives.

A letter to the editor – Waste problem in Hong Kong

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my concern about a serious waste problem in Hong Kong. I believe it is important to
educate the public about solid waste and how to reduce it.
One major environmental problem in Hong Kong is too much waste. In 2007, people dumped more than
9,000 tonnes of domestic, commercial and industrial waste every day. That means each person threw away
1.36 kg of rubbish a day. Littering is also common; it spreads germs and attracts many cockroaches.
Another problem is most rubbish goes to the three landfills in Hong Kong. They are filling up quickly and
will be full by 2018. Soon, we will have no space left for our rubbish.
To deal with the above environmental problems, I would like to propose a territory-wide ‘Super-Clean-
up’ campaign.We should always take our shopping bag when we go shopping. Try to choose goods with
less packaging. Give old clothes, computers and toys to charity. Use rechargeable batteries. Also, put old
newspapers, scrap paper, plastic bottles and soft drink cans in recycling bins to reduce waste.
Once we reduce waste, we can ease the burden on landfills. We could also take a video about doing the things
above and share it on the Campaign Day. It could be held at Sydney Beach, as we want to tell citizens in
Hong Kong to be green.Some judges will judge which video is the best and the best video will get some prizes
for encouraging people to be green.
To create a clean and healthy city, we need the support of everyone in society. If we educate ourselves and do
what we can to reduce waste, we can make Hong Kong a truly green city.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Soh

A speech

Good morning everyone, I am the CEO of the company called ‘P Product’. Thank you for attending our
seminar.
Today, I’m going to speak to you about a new product called ‘7 Phone’. This product is the seventh version
of ‘P Product’ invention. It is different from other phones. I promise it can change the whole world.
Do you have a phone? Do you know what a smart phone is? Although ‘7 Phone’ is the most expensive
phone, believe it or not, you should buy this phone for your future. Now, let me introduce it. This smart
phone is called ‘7 Phone’ and it looks like a Lego block. There are many colours for you to choose, such as
orange, green and black. Its size is just about 2cm by 2cm square. It is only 2 grams and it is made of metal.
When you use it, you can press the home button on the Lego block and it will change to a smart phone like
a transformer. You can play games and receive a call. It can work as a clock, a notebook, a camera and more.
There are more than one million apps, like books, movies, music and games apps.
Besides, there are many benefits of the product. First, its size is very small, so we can carry it easily. The most
important function is it can detect the users’ eyes and noses, so your phone will never be turned on by others.
This product is the best choice because it has over two thousand functions with very little radiation.
At last, I must talk about the price. It costs seven thousand dollars. But when you buy two ‘7 Phones’, you
will have a 30% discount. Also, you will get a $200 voucher and smart headphones when you buy the
‘7 Phone’.
There is animportant piece of information about this product. You need to charge the phone before you use
it each time but you only need to charge it for two hours to make the battery life longer. Thank you all for
listening to my speech. What are you waiting for? Go to our store to buy this immediately.

A travel blog – A memorable trip in Hong Kong

10th December, 2016
My friends and I had a great day touring around Hong Kong. In the morning, we visited Wong Tai Sin
Temple. Wow! There was a sea of people even in December. We kept our fingers crossed and closed our eyes.
We thought that those spirits might make our wish come true. People burnt incense and visited fortune
tellers for divination. We realized that Hongkongers are superstitious. We were also very impressed by the
Grand Temple. My friends told me that there was never a place like this in America. What a splendid place!
After having breakfast, we went to MongKok in the afternoon. MongKok is one of the local and popular
places in Hong Kong. We bought lots of clothes and souvenirs in Tung Choi Street (Ladies’ Market). The
clothes were fabulous and eye-catching. The designers of the clothes did a great job! We also enjoyed local
street foods such as curried fish balls, fake shark’s fin soup, stinky tofu, etc. Those mouthwatering foods made
us pretty full. American food isn’t that special.My friends loved Hong Kong street foods so much.
Guess where else we visited in the evening? It was The Peak. We rode the tram which was the quickest and
most scenic way to arrive at The Peak.Once we reached there, we sighed. The stunning view blew us away!
We were able to see the whole of Hong Kong from the top of The Peak. We took thousands of photos there.
The scenery was memorable. After that, we had dinner in Lan Kwai Fong. There were more foreigners. We
had lots of fun chit-chatting.
After this one-day trip, the most impressive attraction for me was The Peak. It is my favorite place and I’m
fond of the breathtaking view! Hong Kong is known as the Pearl of the Orient. I think that’s the reason why.
I’m very proud of being a Hongkonger. If time allows, I must visit there again. I look forward to going there
soon. What about you? What is your favorite place in Hong Kong? Comment below.

Ways to stay away from the screen

Video games addiction is a growing issue in the world and teenagers spending endless hours in the virtual
world for days has become a norm in recent years. Hong Kong, which is one of the most developed cities in
the world, is of course no exception. To cope with this, it is time to look for solutions.

The most effective measure is for the addicts to reach out for helping hands. One common problem with
video game addicts is poor self-control. Therefore, they need help from people they trust, particularly their
family and friends, who should limit the amount of time the addicts spend online. It is good to set boundaries
and make it clear that there is no excuse for extended use. The addicts have to pull themselves away from the
screen once the set time is up. In situations when they are not willing to stop, their family members or friends
have to show up and persuade, or even force them to get away from the screen. If there is an agreement
between the addicts and their guardian, they may even share the gaming passwords, which could be changed
by the guardian to avoid prolonged playing time.

As well, guardians could modify the addicts’ daily itinerary to minimize the chance of them starting games.
In most cases, the victims of video game addiction start playing because they think there is nothing else to
do. If there were multiple tasks assigned to them, they would not start their journey in the parallel universe
once they had free time. Therefore, teenagers should be encouraged to schedule after-school activities such
as sports to fill the void. This way they are able to use the time and do something meaningful instead. It is
worth noting that it is much more difficult to get them off the screen than not allowing them to start the
games in the first place.

The last solution is to track the addicts’ recovery progress and constantly reward them if a certain target
is achieved. Video game addiction cannot be solved in a short period of time, so it is always useful for the
addicts to remind themselves how much good progress they are making by tracking the amount of time they
spend on games. For example, if they manage to cut down 10% of time spent on video games this week, it
is a small but undoubtedly a step closer to curing the addiction. They should be rewarded with treats such as
new clothes or delicious food. This can be done and encouraged by their guardians. Slowly but surely, they
will find the way out of the addiction.

At the end of the day, like other forms of addiction, video game addiction is something curable. However,
this issue is a headache for our society which needs immediate intervention. Unless we spend adequate time
and effort in helping youths to make good use of technology, they will be locked in the small world defined
by their screens.

How to resolve the problem of video game addiction

Video game addiction is a serious problem among teenagers in every part of the world, including Hong
Kong.It is causing teen addicts to losetrack of time as they spend most of their time on video games, which
not only affects their schoolwork, but also their relationships with families and friends. Fortunately, this
issue can be addressed in a number of ways.
One solution is for the video game addicts to set up a timetable for themselves. One main reason causing
the addiction is the lack of time management. Without a proper schedule, one may not have specific
goals to achieve every day and would just opt to spend time on meaningless games.In contrast, if one
had a timetable, one would spend time more carefully and prioritize obligations forthe day. According
to recent research, people with better time management skills are less likely to become addicted to
video games.
Another solution is to educate young adults about the various impacts of video game addiction.It is
common that teenagers consider video games as a form of harmless entertainment. However, hardly any
of them would reflect on how this entertainment could turn them into desperate addicts who cannot
control their own lives.Schools could invite professionals, social workers, or even ex-addicts to share
their experience with students. It would be a great opportunity for students to learn the causes and
impacts of video game addiction from real life stories.
Apart from preventive measures, it is also important to help those who are addicted to video games. It is
a sad fact that this group of people may not be able to control their addiction even if they acknowledge
the problem. Therefore, the key to helping them is to introduce them to counselling services. As in-
school counselling teams are available, teachers should identify students with video game addiction and
encourage them to seek help from the counselling team, who could provide them with professional
advice and practical tools to address the problem.
In conclusion, it is urgent that we address the growing problem of video game addiction.People craving
video games need to know they are not alone and there are many ways out. They could stay away
from their screens by setting their own daily schedule, understanding more about the impacts of video
game addiction and seeking counselling services. If this worked out just as planned, this life-destroying
epidemic could be stopped and teens could have a better future.

An informal email

Hi Sam,

How have you been? I’m spending this summer at this splendid camp in Macau. It’s a real shame you didn’t
join me.

This Actors’ Camp is just simply brilliant! The campsite is located at the coast, surrounded by the ocean, just
like Fuji. It consists of two Portuguese buildings, not very tall though, only three stories high. However, this
does give me that classy, vintage feeling; it’s like travelling back in time. The instructors even told us they were
left over by the missionaries. So historical!

The instructors are one of the features too! Each and every one of them is so special and vivid. Some of
them are friendly and some are cool, but they share one trait – they are all exotic. When they perform, they
don’t dramatise, and yet their emotions and movements are so natural. However, it is fun to listen to their
dialogues, as their accents are so amusing. Let me tell you something that’s going to make you regret not
joining me for the rest of your life. I met an instructor here who looks like Scarlet Johansson. She is the real
deal. She is attractive and elegant with her long, curly, blond hair. I couldn’t take my eyes off her feminine
body. Her smile is like a cherry while she dresses like a blossom. This goddess gas devoted herself to drama
and is planning to be an actress in the Broadway. I’ve asked her for her phone number and attached her photo
in this email for your pleasure.

The participants are not to be ignored (including me). They are all very experienced. For example, Roberto, a
lad whom I met here, is a veteran. He took part in some world tours. I think he’s going to be a star one day.
Throughout the one day I am spending with them, the interactions are plentiful and fruitful. It’s like I’m
currently practising with some professional artists. However, some of them try too hard and overdramatize,
which makes them look peculiar on the stage.

All in all, this camp is so unforgettable that it will leave its imprint on my heart. Please tell Miss Chan to ask
all club members to come next week, you too!

Lots of laughs,
Joe :)

Internet crimes on the rise

Nowadays, everyone can gain access to the Internet very easily as there are smartphones and tablets
which allow people to surf the Internet whenever they want. While all of us are enjoying our time on
the Internet, do you know how dangerous the Internet actually is? Internet crimes like identity theft
and phishing are becoming more and more common and the next victim could be anyone. In order
to prevent ourselves from becoming the next victim, students can do a lot to protect themselves from
Internet crimes.
Browsing the Internet can be very dangerous as there are a lot of people out there committing Internet
crimes. There are a lot of different Internet crimes but identity theft and phishing are the most common
crimes that we may face while surfing the Internet. Identity theft means obtaining someone’s personal
information and using it to commit theft or fraud which is extremely terrifying as someone may pretend
to be you and commit a crime. Phishing refers to an attempt to trick someone into giving information
over the Internet or by email that would allow someone else to take money from them. Why is Internet
crime such a big problem? Are there not other crimes which are more intimidating? According to research
done by the UK’s Get Safe Online campaign, cybercrime is now the fastest growing sector of global
crime. Identity theft is increasing at a rate of 40% per year and phishing also increased 14% from 2007
to 2009, so we can see how this problem will affect us as time passes.
Students in our school can do a lot to ensure their safety on the Internet and to prevent themselves from
becoming a victim. They should be aware of what their online name or profile on the social media reveals
to strangers. They should also conduct Internet searches regularly to check if their personal data can be
accessed online. Moreover, meeting new friends on the Internet can be dangerous. Always stay alert and
do not share any personal information until you confirm that person is trustworthy. Last but not least,
everyone should increase their awareness of computer and cyber security as well as the risk associated
with social media through different routes like the media and from their parents, teachers or I.T. experts.
Remembering these simple reminders will ensure their safety on the Internet.
In short, the number of Internet crimes is continuously rising and anyone may be the next victim
anytime since most people use the Internet every day. Students should face and tackle this problem with
their own effort as no one can help them when they are browsing the Internet on their own. It isessential
to take action now to deal with this problem before it affects anyone.

Valedictory Speech of Class 2017

Dear Honourable guests, parents, Mr.Chu, Mr.Poon, teachers and the prospective foundations of our society.
It’s our honour to have your presence here, today, and it is my pleasure to stand here delivering my very last
speech of my secondary school life to all of you.
Form Six, St.Joseph’s was where we met, where our bonds were formed, where our stories began. Remember
the best friend you happily cornered? Or the homework you copied? Throughout the last six years, we
chuckled, we shed tears, we hollered, together in this campus of ours. I will not go into vivid details to
describe what amazing seniors you have been. We all know that within the deepest parts of our hearts.
Here, at this moment, as we are about to leave, it’s time for us to say thanks. To give thanks to those who
accept our flaws generously. To appreciate those who toiled for us, those who lead us to a brighter future.
Thanks to them for scolding us to strengthen our hearts, taking us from boys to men. Thanks for always
staying here with us when we experienced ups and downs. Thanks for everything you did for us. Perhaps you
will no longer be beside us in the near future, but the lessons you taught us, the words you spoke to us will
forever stay deeply in our hearts. Let’s give a big hand to our teachers and staff!
Maybe it’s hard for us to believe that in a few months, we are going to face the brutal reality of life all
by ourselves. But I hold the strong faith that we are going to make it through based on just one vital
fact, which is that the Josephian spirit is embedded within us. Students, look back now into the past.
Recall how our football team got into Division 1, recall how our basketball team nearly crushed DBS,
recall how we hollered when our track and field team leap frogged other prestigious schools in the Inter-
school Athletic Competition. Look how St.Joe’s has shone brighter in these few years. These are our
achievements. We have made a better, stronger St. Joe’s. We all may be different, but we share the same
proud title as a Josephian. I believe the spirit of St.Joe’s will benefit us for the rest of our lives.

120

Finally, it’s time for us to say goodbye. Time flies and these past six years have passed in the blink of an
eye. Almost like spilling a glass of water accidentally and not seeing it’s coming, until realising the floor
is wet. Nevertheless, our future is waiting to be unleashed.Whatever you do in the future, do live by our
school motto, “AD ASTRA”. Strive for excellence, never give up and reach the stars.
Allow me to end this speech with a poem:
Class came.
Class went.
It’s worth a lot, the time you spent.
Congratulations are now due.
To the graduates. Special you!
Thank you!

經過今天的活動，我終於明白到人不可以貌相的道理

「冠軍是第五組的王一心和陳允行。」我拍一拍自己的臉龐，確定自己不是做夢。受寵若驚的
我牽著允行的手，衝上台上領獎。那亮晃晃的獎牌掛在我和允行的身上，這是一個意料不到的結
果。「咔嚓，咔嚓。」照相機把這美好的一刻永存下來。回想學科比賽的前兩天，我在禮堂等待分組
結果。

兩年一度的學科比賽將於兩天後舉行，只有品學兼優的名校生才獲得資格參加，形式以二人一
組進行。我被分配到第五組，搭檔的名字叫陳允行。

預備了一年有多的比賽終於來臨。我既緊張又期待。突然，一陣酸臭的氣味傳入禮堂中，有個
瘦骨嶙峋的男學生走進來，他衣不稱身，身上穿著殘破的衣服，就像在垃圾堆中撿起來。而且他五
官不正，奇醜無比，帶着一副厚厚的眼鏡。我暗想：誰是他的拍檔就倒楣了。

他愈走愈近，沉重的腳步聲也愈來愈大聲。「您好，我是陳允行，請多多指教！」我大惑不解，
他沒來錯地方嗎？他真的沒來錯地方？我一語不發，心想：這次比賽輸定了。我悄悄地跟他說：
「你最好不要把事情弄糟！」

在第一輪搶答，他作答時果斷，但是答案言過其實，落後了不少分數。而旁人也開始忽略我
們。

下一輪時，我告訴他不要再拖累我。但情況更是不妙，原來題目不是想像中那麼容易。儘管比
賽前我已經不停地訓練，可是身經百戰的我如今也只是一隻熱鍋上的小螞蟻。

到第三輪比賽，情況轉變了，允行遇到他擅長的科目─數學。允行如魚得水、接二連三，不需
幾秒鐘就算對了幾道數，大幅拋離其他組別。本以為塵埃落定的形勢竟有轉變。

來到最緊張的關鍵時刻─揭曉名次。「冠軍是……第五組。」我和允行喜極而泣。很慶幸今天的
比賽讓我認識了允行，讓我知道人無完美，人更不可以貌相。有人貌若天仙，但心腸卻毒如蛇蠍；
有人外貌平平無奇，卻隱藏著天使的心腸。人們要學會用心去「看」。允行其貌不揚，卻頭腦靈活。
正如童話故事《小王子》中那隻睿智的狐狸說的：「只要用心靈，一個人才能看得很清楚，真正的東
西不是用眼睛可以看得到的。」我想，就是這道理。

陳志祺 (5C)

我是一雙鞋子

我是一雙鞋子，此刻，我只能靜靜躺在櫃中，回憶過去，卻有個不平凡的經歷。

我的一生不似流水般緩緩流淌，而是如飛蛾撲火，追求稍縱即逝的輝煌，又如時光荏苒，瞬間
躥進虛無，在這短促的一生中，我綻放得薰香美麗，如盛夏的果實般甘香，又如旭日一般熾熱。

我的主人不是萬眾矚目的運動員，也不是紅透半邊天的大明星，更不是日理萬機的大總統，她
只是一個樸樸素素的山村女孩。

我的一生和短促這個詞語有點緣份，出生同樣地短促，主人的母親只用了數小時，從一堆雜亂
的稻草中，透過一雙巧手便把我編織出來，沒錯，我只是一對不華亦無實的草鞋，高貴、華麗等優
美詞語跟我扯不上關係，我只能稱得上是「市井之徒」吧！

自從主人穿起我後，彷彿彼此的生命串連在一起，她十分愛護我，即使光著腳丫子也不願意穿
起我走過骯髒的泥地。有時她會穿著我走過金黃的稻穗田，也會走過芳草萋萋的田野，教我領略田
園風光。

但好景不常，美好的事物總是來得突然，去得愕然。在我出世後數天，一次突如其來的災難殺
得我措手不及，那天「桃花依舊」，一片溫和景象，完全感受不到「山雨欲來風滿樓」的預告。驀地，
一陣「轟」自遙遠地底傳來，像巨人發出的怒號般，天地黯然失色，樹木連根拔起，地面開始慢慢分
開成一道道巨大裂縫，大的可容納一頭大象，小的可容納一個成年人。這時主人正在上課，各人也
被這突如其來的災難嚇得東奔西竄。經過一番地動山搖後，兩層高的教學大樓剎那倒下，學校變了
一片頹垣敗瓦，四周如敗柳殘花，主人倒在一片廢墟中。四處充滿危險氣味，彷彿隨時再有震動或
有重物會從高處墮下。主人一頭青絲散落在臉上，衣服沾上一大片灰塵，四肢染紅，尤其腳背，因
為我受到嚴重傷害，鞋面破碎又刮穿了一個大洞。我聽見主人腳背的鮮紅血液一滴滴流到地上，我
恨自己不似球鞋般堅固，保護主人，我脆弱得像玻璃，一打便碎，不禁對自己咬牙切齒。

前方仍然危機處處，碎石橫布，玻璃散落滿地，我只想盡我微薄的力量，保護主人，沒料到，
主人竟想赤腳而行，我當然不允，可幸是鞋帶打了死結。我想，萬物也有其生存價值，有的平庸過
一生，有的後悔過一生，有的悵然過一生，那我呢？我可斷言我是「無悔」過一生，因為我即將用
身軀保護主人，即使生命短促，我也要充分發揮我生命的意義。我不富亦不貴，不像其他鞋可以炫
耀，我雖貧雖賤，但毫無悔過，因為主人心中有我，這比其它鞋的價值可高得多，萬物不是皆求在
對的時間，遇到對的人？我遇到了。

主人彷彿感到我堅定不移的信念，與我默默前行，雖然我千瘡百孔，忍受著撕心裂肺的痛楚，
但卻是懷著無悔的心情，與主人一步步踏過，身軀一點點磨滅，走了一小段路後，終於不能伴主人
走下去，全身無一處不是破爛，可幸主人終於脫離危險。任務光榮完成，當我閉上雙眼，彷彿有一
對溫暖雙手捧起我……

《沒有手提電話的一天》

烈日當空，猛烈的陽光把大地烤成一個熱鍋，而我就像熱鍋上的一隻螞蟻，飽受酷熱的煎熬，
汗珠大滴小滴地落在這熱鍋上馬上蒸發。正當我打算從口袋中拿紙巾抹汗時，口袋好像比起平日空
洞。倏忽，一個念頭在我腦中油然而生：該死的，該不會忘記帶手機了吧！

想到這裡，我就像一隻失去食物的螞蟻，在口袋和背包不斷尋找着手機的蹤影，可惜始終未能
如願。「要回去拿嗎？但這樣可能會遲到呢！我再遲到，有容他們會生氣。算了吧！只是一天沒有
手機，沒問題的。」我心裡暗付着。

走着走着，沒有手機的我只好靠觀看沿途的風景解悶。「咦？這條小徑甚麼時候變得如此寬敞
的呢？旁邊的小樹何時長大了這麼多？我記得……」走在眼前這條既熟悉又陌生的路上，我不禁產
生數之不盡的疑問。「吱吱吱……」一陣新奇的聲音從天空傳來，於是我抬頭望向天空，天空比平日
要蔚藍得多。原來有數隻小鳥在天空中相互追逐嬉戲。看來今天的天氣真的比平日好得多，連平日
不出門的小鳥也出外遊玩呢！平時的我根本不知道小鳥其實每天都在這嬉戲。

周圍令人心曠神怡的風景令我產生了些許涼意。不知為何，今天的小徑走起來比平日要輕鬆得
多。正當我沉醉於大自然時，突然，一陣猛烈的撞擊令我失去平衡。抬頭一看，只見一位戴着耳
筒，手持電話的年青人，「對不起，我沒注意到你……」他見狀連忙道歉。此情此景令我想起了什
麼，難道……

「一心，這裡這裡。」原來是有容他們，我連忙上前，把剛才的事拋諸腦後。我們一行人走到
約定的餐廳，點了一大堆美食。一會兒後，服務員把一碟碟佳餚端上桌子，大夥兒馬上從袋中掏出
手機，準備「讓手機先吃」。見狀，我也立刻下意識地伸手到口袋中，卻摸了個空，我才意識到我的
手機正在家躺著的事實。只見大夥兒像攝影師般，正為一群模特兒拍攝一輯相片，而我就只能像一
個路人般在旁觀看。

待他們完成「工作」後，我們終於開始起筷進食。「嗶嗶」「叮噹」「噔噔噔」……飯局中，有容他們
的手機傳來各式各樣的聲響，提示着他們回覆訊息，領取綫上遊戲的禮品，甚至瀏覽新聞快訊。只
見他們聞聲馬上取出電話，各自各繼續「工作」。

看着他們全部低著頭，拿著手機一言不發無視我的存在，令我像局外人般，心裡不是味兒，十
分難受。但我能做的只是默默地吃著那已半涼的佳餚。終於，有容留意到和往常不一樣的我，問
道：「一心，你平日不是『機不離手』的嗎？為何今天那麼專注吃飯？」有容的話就如暮鼓晨鐘，使我
從夢中醒悟。我平日也像他們這樣嗎？我也會忙於用手機而忽略朋友嗎？此時，無數個疑問在我腦
海中縈繞不去。

124

聚會結束後，我獨自一人乘搭地鐵回家。踏入地鐵車廂，我如常坐下，再次下意識地想拿出手
機。很快地，我又意識到自己沒帶手機的事實後，目光不自然地環顧四周，只見一部部大大小小的
手機，所有乘客都注視着它們。有的在與他人互傳訊息，有的在觀看影片，有的激烈地按屏幕玩遊
戲。車廂內鴉雀無聲，一片死寂。

倏忽，一位手持拐杖的老人緩緩步入車廂，只見他環望四周，卻沒有一個空位。車廂內的乘客
都各自低下頭用手機，根本沒有人意識到他的出現。見狀，我連忙站起來，把座位讓給他。此情此
景令我憶起今天所發生過的事。

原來，小徑並沒有變闊，小樹早已長大，天一直也是這麼藍；不同的是我沒有像平日般低下
頭，忽視身邊的一切。那位撞倒我的年輕人，相信我也曾像他般只顧玩弄手機而撞倒別人。今天的
我因被有容他們無視而難受；昔日的我是否也無視父母，令他們難受呢？那位老伯又有多少次因無
人讓座而捱苦站立？我也許是其中一員。

記得小時候，那個沒有手提電話的時候，每次乘搭地鐵我都會享受著窗外那一閃即過的景色，
嘗試去捕捉它。旁邊的乘客會因沉悶而相互傾談，但自從手機的出現，人們的雙眼就被它蒙蔽，忽
略了身邊的一切。我不再享受窗外的景色，旁邊的乘客也不再互相交談。

手提電話本作為人與人之間溝通的橋樑，但不知從何時起，這座橋樑終不敵時代的變遷和進
步，倒塌下來成為了阻隔人們的一堆瓦礫，令人與人之間產生了隔膜。手提電話如一塊磁石的正
極，人則是負極，在不同環境下，人始終會受正極吸引，一旦給附上，就算怎樣也弄不開。

夕陽西下，陽光不再猛烈，我坐在公園的椅子上，沒有再下意識地把手伸進口袋，而是閉上眼
睛，享受著大自然的氣息，回味着不平凡的今天，沒有手提電話的一天。

《熱鬧過後，我卻感到失落》

若果人生裡有一百種苦，有人會說「分離」是最苦。當我品嚐這另一種「苦」時，心裡更是苦澀
萬分。

太陽徐徐升起，陽光折射到我的心窩裡。正當我在享受小鳥喧嘩聒噪的叫聲時，身旁的有容
卻不停打量着我。「一心，昨天你去哪了？我們不是約了你去看電影嗎？這可是很難得的班會活動
呢！」面對有容不停的追問，我無言以對。其實是因為昨天剛好買到最新推出的遊戲，所以在家裡
不停地玩，而沒有參加班會活動。但是，我怎能這麼跟有容坦白呢！「有容，對不起，我不是故意
不去呢！是因為昨天家裡出了點事，要留在家裡幫忙。再說這些班會活動，多我一個也不算多，少
我一個也不算什麼。」「也不能這麼說！你看今天已經是我們中學生涯裡最後一天上課了。聽說今天
有很多不同的活動，我非常期待！」有容說道。「對啊，聽說你今天會代表班會致辭呢！我很期待你
會說什麼……」不知不覺，回到學校了。

「終於上完課了，沒想過最後一天也要上課。」我心裡暗忖着。我們從課室走到禮堂，終於要
開始我們的班級集會活動。看着表演的同學正準備着，台下的同學都雀躍萬分。由於這次活動在放
學後舉行，學校特意為同學準備了不少小吃。正當我坐在禮堂一邊，吃著美食時，班主任走到我旁
邊並說道：「一心，這是班會特別製造的紀念冊。好好把它收藏起來。」話畢，便把紀念冊遞給了
我。由於手裡都是小吃，只好把紀念冊塞到書包裡。

「活動正式開始，大家興奮起來吧！」主持一聲號令，像是喚醒了沉睡的一群野獸。台下的人
有的歡呼，有的大叫，像觀看煙火宴會一樣。正當眾人熱血沸騰，坐在旁邊的我也不禁興奮起來，
為這個熱鬧的場面喝彩。

不知不覺，已經有好幾班表演完了。熱鬧的場面像是熊熊烈火一樣，猛烈燃燒着。倏忽之間，
只見有容緩步走到台上，站在眾人面前。原來，終於到了致辭的時候。原本熱鬧的氣氛，像是被一
盆冷水降溫一樣。此時，有容開始說：「大家好，我是六甲班的陳有容。今天我代表我班致辭。」此
時，眾人的目光都聚集在她身上。「今天我並不是想和大家說什麼大道理，而是想和大家分享一個
詞語，這個詞語名為『珍惜』。我所說的『珍惜』，不只是珍惜身邊的人，亦是珍惜光陰。」有容一邊
說着，就像在我的心中銘刻着。究竟何謂珍惜？如何珍惜身邊的人？光陰？我是不是在這幾年都錯
過了一些事情？有容終於完成了致辭，台下的人都不停為她喝彩，這團火再次被重燃。坐在一邊的
我，彷彿感到半點失落，不停回想著有容剛剛的說話。

126

不知不覺，所有活動都結束了。學校的鐘聲響起，敲響了日落，敲響了離別的信號。它，彷彿
帶走了所有人，所有人都慢慢離開。坐在禮堂一旁的我，像被時間靜止一樣，看着人群慢慢散去，
看着所有人的背影逐漸遠去，可是我再怎樣追，再怎樣加速，始終都追不上。回頭看看操場，彷彿
看到了以前早會集隊的景象。奈何時間的流逝，再不是我熟悉的情景？

坐在巴士上，我不禁回想起有容剛剛那些話。車窗外波光粼粼，街上的路牌獨自亮起，像是一
個孤獨的人站在路中心，毫無依伴。突然看到窗外有一群學生，他們互相擁抱着，像是離別時的情
況。回想到我平時上學的日子，大多是一個人放學，很少有這樣的情況出現。不知道是有容剛剛的
話，或是剛剛看見的情況，失落的情緒更是在心中不停翻滾着。

回到家中，只見家中廚房的燈亮起了，媽媽說道：「兒子，快換衣服，很快可以吃晚餐。」我走
回房裡，躺在床上。突然之間，書包裡有東西掉了下來，原來是剛剛老師給我的紀念冊。紀念冊中
是同學們的文章，刻畫了我們平時上課的瑣碎事。當中有令人歡笑的、令人感嘆的……而最後則是
一張我們班的合照。看到這裡，我終於明白有容所說的「珍惜」。

人生中一百種苦，「長大」最苦，裡面包含了「分離」。終有一天，人總要長大，過去的幼稚，嬉
皮笑臉的情景，都不能再停留。人總要成熟，向着未來而努力。而分離，亦在所難免。但是，若果
說有一樣東西能夠讓分離別傷得自己那麼深，那就是「珍惜」。珍惜身邊所有人，包括朋友。若果
說人生如天上最閃亮的那顆星，那朋友就是旁邊其他細小的星，更能突顯自己的閃亮。若果說人生
如黃金，那麼朋友就像黃金中黯啞的位置，能顯得出黃金的珍貴。人生像煙火，或許只會有一時的
燦爛，但若果肯去珍惜，其實並不會如煙般消逝，而會永遠保留心中。或許人生短暫，分離是一定
會有的，但只要學會珍惜眼前人，珍惜光陰，就像是喝了一口心靈雞湯一樣，必定不會後悔。

儘管「長大」很苦，但我在長大中學會了「珍惜」，珍惜身旁所有人，不管是生命中的過客還是朋
友。

狼圖騰—蒙古大陸上最具神秘氣息的記號

《狼圖騰》故事提及文革時期，陳陣與多位來自北京的知青前往蒙古。除了蒙古包等別於內地
樓房的建築，引起陳陣注意的還有隨風飄揚的狼旗，為廣袤的額侖大草原添上幾分神秘感。

「我們到底是龍的傳人？還是狼的傳人？」這個問題撼動了中國人千萬年來固有的民族意識，
且取代「龍」的地位的，竟是人民痛恨的「狼」。

在寓言故事中(如《中山狼傳》)，狼總是狡詐、殘酷的象徵，而不少含「狼」的成語亦不見有讚許
之意(如「狼狽為奸」用以形容同流合污)。臭名早已遠播於蒙古四周。但即便如此，狼在蒙古人心中
的地位依然崇高，為什麼呢？

第一，蒙古人視草原為家。草原被蒙古人稱為「族人的母親」，它不僅提供了居住的土地，更提
供了不少珍貴的資源，使蒙古人能自給自足，與社會隔絕亦不至無法存活。然而，有許多生物卻會
破壞這片聖土，如黃羊會跺破草皮，以草為食，兔會在土地四周鑽洞，危害草原。狼正是他們的天
敵，維護了族人生活的地點和食物泉源。

第二，蒙古人的民族智慧源於狼，狼擅長圍攻戰術與設置陷阱，把獵物引進死局。而成吉思汗
學習了狼的戰法，以一敵百，創造了史上最大的國家版圖。據聞，成吉思汗更下令要挑選如狼一般
打獵技術高強的人成為精兵，務求在惡劣的環境下，訓練出強悍的將士。就此而言，蒙古是以「狼
道」得天下，保家衛國的民族。換句話說，狼淬煉出蒙古的文化結晶。

漢人稱自己為「龍的傳人」，是因為中國是以農立國的地方，他們相信龍是保佑五穀豐收的神
獸。然而龍並沒有實體，虛無縹緲，相較狼，牠的存在備受質疑。而認為中國是「狼的傳人」的人，
大多都是從狼與中國人的本質著墨。

首先，中國在古代曾為軍事大國，在「馬上得天下」的君主多不勝數。孫子兵法有云：「兵者，
詭道也。」而狼的本質正是詭。書中有一情節講述黃羊與狼鬥智鬥力，狼總是等待黃羊吃飽撐肚，
失去警戒的時機下手，而戰術也應用得宜—從東、西、北三個方位包抄，把羊迫向南方的大雪窩，
陷入進退兩難的局面。成吉思汗當年能以數萬兵士抵禦丘福十萬天軍，也是取狼之「智」，而並非匹
夫之勇。狼與生俱來的本質被中國人所習，成就了共同的民族智慧。

其次，中國人與狼一樣，堅持自我，不甘安穩。書中寫道：「熊可牽、虎可牽、獅可牽，惟蒙
古草原狼不可牽。」牠寧死不從、桀驁不馴的性格深深烙在中國人的骨子中。中國人不會貪生怕
死，放棄自我。古有黃巾起義，帶著令國民安康的信念冒死征戰，現有維權人士劉曉波等人，為了
向民族傳達民主精神，放棄了家庭、時間，獻出了心力，受到了屈辱，卻不曾言棄，這正好與狼
「不可牽」的信念如出一轍。

中國人或許確實並非「狼的傳人」，卻在無聲中被輸了狼血，成為了狼的化身。雖沒有狼的鋼爪
鋼牙，本性卻從未更移。草原在人類的發展下，已失去了大自然的氣息。蒙古包的減少，狼旗的幻
滅，換來公路、樓房等基礎建設。蒙古歌謠終究成為了狼的輓歌。可中國人的眼睛始終有如狼琥珀
色的雙瞳，深邃知性，深藏不露。

真正的快樂

作家高爾基曾說：「快樂是人生中最偉大的事。」的確，快樂是生命的瑰麗朝霞，它令我們的生
活變得多姿多彩，同時也在我們人生中烙下一個個美麗印記。

快樂在成長中扮演著心靈導師的角色，它培養我們積極樂觀的態度。力克胡哲是生命的奇跡，
他天生沒有四肢，從小飽受朋輩欺負，但力克沒有放棄，他快樂地過每一天，臉總掛著真摯的笑
容。漸漸地，快樂使他忘記自身的厄運，還培養出樂觀的性格，他總是以快樂來化解一切桎梏。今
天，力克走遍世界各地進行演說，以生命影響生命，為世人帶來正能量。可見，「快樂」這心靈導師
能滋潤我們乾枯的心田，它教我們樂觀面對問題。在成長歷程中，快樂教導我們以一抹微笑將憂愁
帶走。它更如熊熊烈火，以其耀眼的光芒照亮他人，為無數活在失落陰霾下的人帶來曙光，使他們
重拾信心與希望。

「真正的快樂」能約束個人慾望，使人滿足當下。相反，「虛假的快樂」則使人墮落。人浮於
世，很多人為了一己私慾而絞盡腦汁，希望得到「虛假的快樂」。台灣前總統陳水扁為了滿足自己的
貪慾，多次貪污，得到的贓款數以億計，但最終難瞞公義，受到法律的制裁。可見，為了滿足個人
私慾而得到的快樂是虛假的，這種「快樂」實在令人難逃「下流」、「可恥」之名。

何謂「真正的快樂」？愛因斯坦對此曾下過定義︰「真正的快樂，是對生活樂觀，對工作愉快，
對事物感興趣。」可見，滿足當下的人能擁有「真正的快樂」。孟子對「快樂」一詞也下了定義︰「仰不
愧於天，俯不怍於人。」擁有「真正快樂」的人是那些無憂無慮，心境坦然的人。顏回便是一個擁有
「真正快樂」的人，他在惡劣環境下，沒有半句怨言，無憂無慮。他憑一簞食，一瓢飲便能快樂地
生活。可見，「真正的快樂」是發自內心，而非建基於慾望、財富、地位之上。真正快樂的人，內心
容易滿足，時刻保持愉悅的心境。他們亦安守本分，不會鋌而走險擺脫貧困，故能無憂無慮，坦然
地生活。

回首現今香港，擁有「真正快樂」的人愈來愈少，他們成為社會上極其「珍貴」的少數。香港人口
密度高，以高空鳥瞰，到處都佈滿密密麻麻的樓宇。在人多擁擠的社會生活，又怎能有「真正的快
樂」呢？其實，香港表面上是「石屎森林」，人多擁擠，但有四分之三的陸地是郊野地區，屬於綠色
土地。香港人應多藉空閒時間，扶老攜幼，到東平洲、塔門、蒲台島……這些景色秀麗的郊外遊
玩。欣賞一望無際的海景，藍天白雲，以及奇山異水，這樣既紓緩巨大的工作壓力，又可共享天倫
之樂。

其次，都市人的心靈大多被電子產品操控，這也是導致香港人不快樂的罪魁禍首。走進地鐵車
廂裡，映入眼簾的總是一張張拿著智能電話埋首苦幹的臉孔，他們毫無笑容，更漠視身邊一切事
物。試問缺乏與人溝通，缺乏對社會認知，我們又怎能擁有「真正的快樂」呢？故此，香港人理應學
會放下電子產品，每天抽時間與家人和朋友真心交談。藉著真摯的交談，可以打開那扇人與人之間
的「心窗」。

快樂是人之瑰寶，唯有享有真正快樂的人，才能活出有價值的生命。
