Aditri Verma (aged 9), Kowloon Junior School
My favourite subject is maths. I also enjoy English and drama. Outside classes, I would say my main hobbies are art, dancing and taekwondo.
I can also play the ukulele and piano. And I love sports such as netball, badminton, basketball and football. I really like riddles and jokes, and my favourite food is pizza. I also enjoy spending time with my best friend, Sarah.
I love having hobbies and interests. I hope to make more friends this year and develop more hobbies in 2025.
What about you? What do you like to do?

The Earth is suffering due to global warming and pollution. Human activities are primarily responsible.
Every time we use cars, refrigerators or air conditioners, we contribute. Burning coal for energy produces carbon dioxide that warms the planet and causes climate change.
We must take action. For example, we can transition away from fossil fuels by adopting low-carbon fuels that come from renewable sources.
As Steve Jobs once said, 'The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.'

Marvin To (aged 6), Victoria Homantin International Nursery
I went to Beijing with my mum last week. I visited the Great Wall and Universal Studios Beijing. I learned that we can see the Great Wall from space. My mum bought me a magic wand and a robe from the Harry Potter series.
My favourite dish that I tried was Peking duck. I also met a new friend in the hotel, and he spoke in Mandarin.
I want to visit Beijing again, and this time I want to see the Great Wall with my dad!
