SCMP Reporter

Changes help As a Form Six student, I have to give instructions to people instead of following others.

  My timetable is also different from the one I was used to.

  These changes made me feel exhausted and I was under a lot of stress at the beginning. Later I realised these changes help me become more mature in dealing with problems.

  These are skills I will need in my future career. I hope other Form Six friends will adapt to the changes soon.

JENNY CHAN Accept lost love I am writing in response to the letter by 'Loveless' headlined, 'Hurt by love', which appeared in Young Post recently.

  Loveless said she didn't dare to date any more boys because she was hurt by a boy she loved in Form One.

  I disagree with her. Life is full of highs and lows. When I fail, I tell myself I can succeed the next time.

  If I were Loveless, I would try to accept that the past, used positively, is a stepping-stone for tomorrow. Everything has happened with a purpose.

  Love is beautiful when we look back but trouble when we're in it.

CHARMING Law Ting Pong Secondary School Study blues I have felt very blue these past few months. I don't want to study in Form Four. I found it hard to get along as there was a lot of homework and tests.

  I wake up early every day to go to school and go to sleep late at night after finishing my homework. As a result I can't concentrate during lessons and I always feel sleepy.

  I miss life in Form Three.

  It is not easy to get a pass mark in the senior forms. Can anyone help me? CHAN Carmel Secondary School Speak up I would like to respond to the letter by 'Aeolian Bell' headlined 'Quiet quandary'.

  You're afraid of speaking out in class because you don't have the confidence to speak up. You should remember everyone makes mistakes, even teachers and professionals.

  If you are afraid of mistakes, you cannot learn from making them.

  Overcoming your fear of speaking up is not easy but you can build up confidence by speaking more in class.

 Christine Tse Law Ting Pong Secondary School Tongue trouble I am writing in response to the letter by Joanne Chan headlined 'Wrong move'.

  I do not agree with her that mother-tongue teaching should have been introduced in all secondary schools.

  It's difficult to choose between Chinese and English. Using Chinese can improve the understanding of the students who are not good at English.

  Using English can improve students' English and it's better for further studies.

  Schools should be more flexible in choosing between teaching in Chinese or English.

CARMAN TSUI Art of success I am writing in response to the letter headlined, 'Art attack.'   Amy seems to be very unhappy just because she is an arts student. I am an arts student. When I was in Form Three, my father forced me to choose science subjects. He thought arts students were worse than science students.

  But I insisted on my dream because I love arts very much.

  I have no regrets about my decision. I scored 19 points with Grade A in Chinese language and Chinese literature.

  I hope my story can give you some encouragement.

WALLACE Lingnan (Heng Fa Chuen) Secondary School True friendship is a thing to treasure I'm writing in response to a letter in Young Post by Timothy Ng about true friendship.

  I agree with Timothy. He said: 'Friendship should be something lasting and unforgettable.'   There is no doubt that friendship will be lasting and unforgettable if it is really true.

  We should learn how to treasure a true friendship and make it last forever. For me, friends and family always come first.

  I have two friends who have an incurable disease. The most important thing is that both of them are my best friends.

  I can do nothing besides supporting them and treasuring our friendship.

  If you have already got a true friendship with somebody, just try your best to make it last forever.
