There are a lot of interesting TV programmes during weekends. Why don’t you find one or two programmes which interest you to discover more about our world?

Everybody hates Chris is on Pearl on Sunday at 8pm.

Which programme(s) have you watched?  

What is it about? What is it in details?

Whom did you watch it with?

What do you think about the programme? Why?

What can we learn from the programme and how is it related to our life in Hong Kong?

Reminder: The purpose of this homework is to let you discover more things around our world in English. Commenting it below is to share the knowledge with your schoolmates.

Don’t misunderstand the purpose of this homework as to avoid yellow paper. It’s an unwise thought!

Understand the purpose and proofread your writing. ‘Mindless’ writing shows your ‘Ignorantism’. Be an intellectual HTYC student instead of an ignorant!

** Something suspitious/fishy is going on. I can see all the posts that you have visited before you submit your comment, as I’m the host. Remember? Do your homework honestly. Don’t cheat. HTYC students don’t want me to pull out any blue papers to mark your misbehaviour in our school record. Learning is for your own future! **

Can any of you imagine the way I love my students is somehow somewhat like boyfriend-girlfriend-type? Sometimes I’m little bit afraid that I’ve put too much passion on you guys…
