One-minute English by 6C Ansoni and Danyal

A: Good morning principal, teachers and fellow schoolmates. We are representatives from 6C. I'm Rainbow.

D: I'm Danyal. Good morning everyone.

D: As sixth-formers, let's share our feelings with our school, Yip Kei Nam.

A: Sure! I feel thankful and grateful because we have a lot of good teachers here. They are patient and helpful! They are willing to share our ups and downs too, just like our friends.

D: I'm glad to hear that from you! As teenagers, we should always be thankful like you. Being thankful keeps us healthy and it helps improve our relationships with people around us. Thankfulness is contagious too! The spread of gratitude is important in school and our community!

A: Yes, it's really true. Just like me, I am a very positive and happy girl and this brings me precious friendship. I have made a lot of good friends in these 6 years.

D: Yes! So have I! We hope that our fellow schoolmates will also learn to cherish everything you have: a beautiful campus, supportive teachers and not to mention, lots of trusted friends! That’s all we would like to share today. Thank you.

Friendship

A: Good morning, Principal, Vice Principals. This is Mr Michael's Morning Minute. Today we want to talk about friendship:

B: Friendship can be found in many different forms and in many different places. It could be a friend you have known since you were a baby, someone you regularly see on the bus, a friendship you share with your brother and sister or even a friendship you share with your pet.

A: A friend will normally be someone you feel close to, someone you can talk with when you are upset and have fun with when you are happy. Someone you can be honest with in conversations and someone you can trust to keep a secret.

B: Having friends is one of the world’s greatest pleasures. Taking the time to get to know someone and nurture a lasting friendship can be difficult, but it is worth every ounce of effort.

A:  With friendships, it is important to put yourself in other people’s shoes as this ensures that you are treating people in the same way you would like to be treated. Here are some tips for being a good friend:

B: Be trustworthy and loyal. If a friend tells you something in confidence, it is important to keep that information to yourself. Imagine how hurtful it would be if your friend spilled the beans about you to someone else in your friendship group.

A: Listen! Sometimes we are so concerned about getting our own thoughts and opinions across that we forget to listen to the other person. Being a good listener could make you stand out from other friends the person may have and is also a great skill in life generally and for when you are working one day.

B: Be supportive. It is impossible to be selfless all the time, but we can try to think of others before ourselves more often. If your friend is struggling with a task, you could maybe offer to lend a hand or, if he or she is sad, why not organize a fun day out?

A: Forgive. One of the noblest qualities you can have as a friend is the ability to forgive. We all make mistakes and it is important that we value our friendship more than words that are spoken. This could also mean that people will be willing to forgive you.

B: When we are young, making friends seems to be incredibly easy. A friendship could blossom from just asking to borrow a classmate’s crayons, but, as we 

grow up, our expectations change. 

One-Minute English Presentation by Sam Chen

Good morning, Principal, teachers and fellow schoolmates.

 

Today, I want to talk about ‘benevolence’. You may find this word unfamiliar. It simply refers to the quality of being kind and helpful. 

As a member of the community, I think we should show care and love to the people around us. There are many ways to contribute more kindness in the community. For example, when we travel on buses, we can offer seats to people in need. When we come across people who need help, we should offer them a helping hand. 

Taking time to be kind to other people can make you feel good, help reduce stress and be beneficial for your own emotional wellbeing. Please explore some simple ways to demonstrate kindness in various areas of your life; with your loved ones, with your fellow schoolmates, in public spaces and, perhaps most importantly, with yourself.

 

 

Good morning everyone, I am Taybah. Today I'm going to talk about gender inequality which is not uncommon in the world. 1 in 4 girls is either uneducated or unemployed in Syria and Afghanistan. Some women are employed, who are being undepaid. Some female Hollywood stars are being paid less than those male movie stars.

Meanwhile, gender inequality happens to males as well. Our society has certain gender stereotypes towards men, who have to be muscular and strong all the time. Men are not allowed to cry, but that’s not a natural case. We all have emotions, like everyone does.

I think it's time for us to improve the situation, and make the world a safer, happier place to live. Thanks for your listening.

Good morning, everybody.

I believe that everyone has a dream and so do I. Today I want to share with you my dream.
What is my dream like? To me it is a wish to study science and learn swimming outside Hong Kong. However, this dream needs careful planning, which means saving money in my daily life and my family’s support.

Like other teenagers I also receive pocket money from my parents. For everyday use, I only spend a little and save the rest in a bank account to ‘invest in’ my dream. To make my dream come true, what is saved in my bank account will only be used in the future, and in my daily life, I spend money wisely. I dream of overseas studies because I hope to take this opportunity to look at this world. I want to be ‘international’ and make my life full of stories.

In short, I will do everything for my dream and at this moment my way is to save and spend money carefully. Thank you very much.

Good morning, Principal, teachers and fellow schoolmates.

This morning, I would like to share with you how to achieve success and have an enjoyable school life.

If we want to achieve success, following school rules is very important.

The essence of school rules is to help us develop self-control and acquire self-discipline.

For example, we need to arrive at school before 8:15 am every day and latecomers will be penalized. 

Many of us may think that the rule is too harsh to follow. However, imagine that if you have a meeting with your boss and colleagues in your workplace, what happens if you are late to the meeting? You will leave a bad impression to them if you are not punctual.

Besides following school rules, maintaining a good relationship with teachers is also important. Our teachers care about us and help us overcome problems in our school life, so we should learn how to show our respect to them.

Dear schoolmates, our school is not only a place for us to acquire knowledge, it is also a place for us to learn how to develop a good relationship with others. I believe that by following school rules and developing a good relationship with teachers, all of us can achieve success and have an enjoyable school life.

Thank you

There are more and more people keeping cats these days. Why do cats become a favorite pet? First cats do not need so much space and they love to be indoors. Second cats are quieter and they clean themselves. Moreover cats can give their owners both mental and physical health benefits.

I have a cat named cookie. When I first found her, she was shivering in a cardboard box. I took her home and she turned into a pet of our family. In time she has become familiar with our home and active all around. Cookie knows how to talk to us as she often asks us to open the door or the window for her. Her favorite activities are sleeping and eating – that’s why she is getting fatter and fatter. My parents and I take a lot of time looking after Cookie and we love her very much. I hope to live with her for long and see her happy and healthy at all times.

Good morning principal, teachers and schoolmates, Today I am going to talk about how we can succeed. Many real life examples of children who are considered talented have been studied by educators and psychologists in order to find out why they can turn out to be intelligent and balanced people.

One of the examples was about a 13-year-old kid from low-income family who became chess master through putting in hours and hours of practice. It is confirmed that we need 10,000 hours of  'deliberate practice’ to master a skill.

To keep one going on with practice, external incentives don’t work in the long run. For example, if you offer money for blood donations, over time fewer donors show up. If you offer sweets to students, their grades do not improve. Motivation must come from within ourselves. Therefore, it is important for us to understand what achieving goals will bring us before we achieve them.

Thank you

Good morning principal, teachers and schoolmates,

Today I am here to share with you my views on Poverty and charitable work. There are many holiday resorts in countries in South Eastern Asia. For example, Cebu, the Philippines, is known to be a paradise with beautiful beach. However, many people who live not far from the resort struggle to make a living on HK$4 a day.

It is important for all tourists to visit the area outside the resorts to learn that we are living much privileged lives than the people around the area in the Philippines. Some charities in Hong Kong promote 'real life' visit programs for Hong Kong students. In the trip, Hong Kong students usually spend three days on sightseeing and other beach activities within the resort first and the following four to five days helping the villagers living around the resort build houses, paint a school and teach students in junior forms.

Though the program cannot make a long-term impact, it is worth participating to learn how much harm poverty inflicts on local people and be inspired on the topic of wealth redistribution within a society. I encourage you to consider similar trips before embarking on a luxurious resort stay. Thank you.

Good morning principal, teachers and fellow schoolmates.

I'm Mary from class 5D. As the exams are coming, many students are under stress. Today, I'd like to talk about 'how to handle stress'

First, I think it is important to share our feelings with our family and friends. If we face any difficulties in life or at school, we can talk to our friends and teachers. I'm sure they will give us some good advice.

Second, we should try to find our interests and to do something we like. For example, I like to go bowling with my friends. I feel happier after my practice. I think doing sports is a good way to relieve our stress.

 

Last but not least, it is important to give yourself plenty of time to work on your studies if you want to do well, and you can save yourself a lot of stress if you plan with good time management skills.

I hope all of you can get good results in the exams.

 

That's the end of my presentation. Thank you.

 

 

Good morning, principal, teachers and fellow students,’

I'm Danyal.

Today, my topic is "How to think positive when everything is going wrong".

Trying to be positive when you’re experiencing a hard time can seem impossible. During these times, it's important to take the pressure off yourself to find the silver lining.

Positive thinking isn't about burying every negative thought or emotion you have or avoiding difficult feelings. The lowest points in our lives are often the ones that motivate you to move on and make positive changes.

When going through such a time, try to see yourself as if you were a good friend in need of comfort and sound advice. What would you say to her? You'd likely acknowledge her feelings and remind her she has every right to feel sad or angry in her situation, and then offer support with a gentle reminder that things will get better.

So, do that to yourself too. Tell yourself that everything is going to be and that tomorrow will always be a better day.

Stay positive!

That's the end of my presentation. Thank you.

Good morning, Principal, teachers and fellow schoolmates.

I am Vivian from Form 5B. Today, I would like to talk about how to improve our English so that we can have better English exam results.

First, we must listen to our teachers. The reason is very simple. They passed the exam before, they are experienced and they have higher qualifications, so they can teach us how to pass the exams easily.

Second, we must have a time table for doing homework, doing revision and playing games. If not, we will waste our time doing nothing useful all day.

Last but not least, we strike a balance between studying and playing.

When we listen to our teachers, doing homework every day and follow the time table for doing revision, I am sure that we can pass the exams with flying colours. This is the end of my presentation. Thank you.

Good morning everyone.

The examination is coming very soon. I’m sure we all want to pass the exam with flying colours. Some students really want to perform well and find it very stressful before exams.

We have to admit that not all stress is bad. When there’s something really important, a little stress can help us rise to the challenge. It could actually make us a better student so that we’ll be more focused on our tasks.

Let me give you some advice to reduce stress. First, try to get enough sleep. Getting enough sleep is important. Some people find that even short naps can help improve productivity.

When you feel stressed, go for a walk in fresh air. Doing sports can also help reduce stress. It is the best way to relax your mind and muscles. Besides, listening to music helps you to stay calm and put your mind in a relaxed situation. If you are feeling stressed, listening to some light music may help you out.

I hope that my advice can help you to unwind. Let’s try our best and perform well in the exam.

That’s all I want to share with you today. Thank you.

Ways to relieve stress

Sam & Jim:   Good morning, Principal, teachers and fellow schoolmates.

Sam:              I'm Sam from 6D.

Jim:               I'm Jim from 6D.

Jim:               The HKDSE exam is coming. I start to feel nervous.

Sam:              Yes, me too. There are a lot of homework, quizzes and tests. With so much to prepare, it's hard to get enough sleep.

Jim:               Right! Even I went to bed early last night, I still thought about the test today. I couldn't fall asleep until 1 a.m.

Sam:              It's a sign that we are under pressure. I read an article about tips to relax. Let' see if they work for us. First, we can listen to music or draw.

Jim:               That's easy. I can focus my energy on things I like. What's next?

Sam:              You can talk it out.

Jim:               What does that mean?

Sam:              Like you are worried about your test today, you can talk to me about why you are worried and how you feel.

Jim:               I see. It's easy. Are there any other ways?

Sam:              Of course! Organize your things well. For example, we can go through notes and rewrite them to organize things both in the notebook and in our mind once again.

Jim:               Then we are also revising.

Sam:              Exactly! When we are more prepared, we feel less nervous.

Sam & Jim:    Hope all of you find the above tips useful. Thank you.

Good morning. My name is Linus Leung. Today I want to talk about the problem of wealth gap in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong has the most serious problem of income disparity in the world. It is time for us to look into the causes of and solutions to the problem of poverty.

There is a rapid rise in the cost of living. Households living below the poverty line cannot sustain basic life needs. There is a lack of opportunities for low skilled workers.

To solve this problem, the government can provide more training courses for the low skilled workers. The government can also offer protection and financial aid to the poor.

That's the end of my sharing today. Thank you.

One Minute Presentation by Kathy Kwok

Good morning everyone, my topic today is ‘How to be enlightened?’

Becoming enlightened can mean different things to different people. It may not be an easy task but you can move a little closer to enlightenment every day. You can become enlightened by being in the present moment, expanding your understanding of life and the world around you, and meditating to expand your awareness.

Here, I would like to share 3 ways to be enlightened:

First, Being in the present!

It's normal to want to distract yourself from your life and you may want to escape from your life by overeating or drinking. However, these strategies won’t make you feel better. In fact, they might make you feel worse over time. So, start being present in your life.

Second, you have to practice being mindful. To practice mindfulness, shift your thoughts to what’s happening in the here and now, not in the past or future.

Finally, engage your 5 senses to help you engage with your surroundings. Your senses of sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste will help you root yourself in your present environment. Go through each sense and list what you notice around you. Then, think about how that makes you feel.

That’s all I would like to share today. Thank you!

Good morning, Principal, teachers and fellow classmates,

I am Amity Chan. I would like to talk about the importance of following school rules and interpersonal relationships.

As students, we must follow school rules. When we follow school rules, we will learn better and achieve success. We will also have a better future.

However, if we don’t follow school rules, there will be many problems. For example, students will litter and fight with each other and they may not do any homework. They will fail in tests and exams.

What is more, a good interpersonal relationship is important. We must say good morning to anyone we meet at school in the morning. When we leave our school, we must say goodbye to our teachers and classmates. Good social skills are important at school and in the workplace.

As our school is a big family, we must respect each other and follow our school rules. I do hope all of you can understand the importance of following school rules and the importance of interpersonal relationships.

Thank you
