He bought a robot. Mike

felt very pleased. He took the robot home. As soon as he got

home, he took out some batteries and put them into the robot.

Suddenly, the robot started to talk. ‘Who are you? Get away

from me,’ the robot said. Mike was very frightened.

Then the robot shined a light around Mike’s living room and

destroyed all the furniture in Mike’s home. Mike was

shocked. At last, Mike had to tidy up his home quickly before

his parents arrived home from work.

Dear Gloria,

Thank you for your letter. I am fine. Your graduation party sounds great. I think you must be very happy.

I also had a graduation party last week. We had food and drinks first. Then we played some games. I won a pencil case. After that the headmaster gave us a speech. He told us to work hard in the future. I enjoyed the last part most. Each class had a performance. Our class had a performance to thank the teachers. Our class made some flowers and sang a song for our teachers. It was touching but I felt great. I will miss everything in my school. Please write soon.

Love,Jenny

If you like rides and cartoon characters like

Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, you can go to

Disneyland. If you want to see real animals like

dolphins and pandas or take a ride on a cable car,

you can go to Ocean Park. If you want to take a look

at the whole of Hong Kong, you can go to the Peak.

If you like barbecuing, you can go to the country

parks in the New Territories. Spending your holidays

in Hong Kong is really fun, isn’t it?

I wrote a passage about sports. I chose this topic

because I love every moment of doing sports.

The reason for joining the writing competition

is my passion for sports as well as writing. I like them both very much. I am extremely excited about winning the book coupons. I will spend the book coupons on some books about sports as I love reading books about sports too. Hopefully, there will be another writing competition very soon, so I can produce more good pieces of writing.
