History. It enriches my knowledge of the past, allows me to examine events with different viewpoints and I can  learn (and not repeat!) from the pivotal mistakes of other people. It's also closely linked to current affairs, an area which I have much interest in.

It's definitely got to be chemistry. You might think it's boring, but  when it comes to experiments,  colours and chemicals  make it a bit more fun - unlike calculations.  It  can be a little tough but if you think  positively,  you need not fear it.

Penny Pang, 18

I love English literature, despite the fact  that this course is not offered at my school.  I am fond of languages, especially English.  There are only 26  letters in the alphabet, but they can be used to compose  many words  with different meanings. I appreciate this sophisticated language  very much!

Band, because not only is it fun, it's easy to get a passing mark.  My teacher is a great person. He doesn't yell,  is kind, and  gives us great music to play.  He provides us with great musical opportunities. Band is da bomb!

My favourite would have to be P.E. All the other lessons require us to sit  down and stare  into space. P.E. also stops us from turning into the type of people that feast on fast food.

My favourite subject at school is maths. It's all numbers, so the answer is either right or wrong. No arguments. And algebra is awesome.

Jermaine Wong, 16

I have two: creative media and P.E.  They both allow me to leave the classroom and relax. Specifically, I like  the  activities of shooting films and  dancing. They're so  freeing.

Casey Chan, 17

My favourite subject in school  is maths because  I understand  it.  To me, maths is  very straightforward. My maths teacher   says that maths is the language of the universe.

Fanny Wu, 16

English. Once I can speak fluent English, I  will be able to communicate with one-third of the world's population! Some phrases have similar  equivalents  in Chinese,  such as: 'It takes two to tango'. Also, English pronunciation is beautiful.

Nick Goodchild, 16

My favourite  school subject is art and design because it gives me a chance to express myself in an endless number of ways.  It also allows me to be imaginative and creative, which  is not possible in any other subjects because there  are  set lessons and work plans which restrict imagination.



Question of the week: What's your favourite subject in school and why?
