The first 10 readers who vote  will win a keychain from the movie The Legend of Zorro, which stars Antonio Banderas  as the 19th-century caped hero and Catherine Zeta-Jones as his wife.

Last round's Top Teen winner is Sheri Chiu. She wins a Nokia 6030 mobile phone.

Knowledge  of this subject increases with every second.  You look forward to this  class because most of the topics  are debatable and  offers you the chance to express your opinion. Also, you get to test facts instead of  believing blindly.  The connection between  what you learn  and real life makes it even more interesting. Did you guess what my favourite subject is?  It's  science.

I enjoy art class the most because it allows me to express what I feel. Drawing helps me let out the feelings I keep inside. My art isn't pretty pictures like  those of most other people.  There's usually an emotion behind it.

Humanities in action.    Instead of being a boring history class,  it's a course full of different kinds of inspiration and fun.  It also has  a variety of activities, such  as news presentation. Besides  its interesting  topics,  I have many    friends  in my class and  a cool teacher as well.

Business. Everything around us exists  because  it's somebody's business.  Take, for example, newspapers (otherwise news wouldn't be so biased!), or  churches ('profits' are donated to the poor), or even crime organisations.  They're  all run like businesses. If I'm ever going to be the pope or a triad  boss,  it's important to learn about business!

Biology,  because I find it interesting. When I'm  in biology class, I very rarely  feel bored.  The subject is beneficial to human discoveries and society. Biology can be used in medicine, ecology, forensics, and many other fields - proof of   its   great benefit to the world.

Liam Wang, 15

Science, because it's a subject where even small discoveries have a global effect. For instance, one scientist went on vacation and came back to find a  petri dish with  mould that had killed the bacteria in it.  He went on to create penicillin. Thinking  about that incident  motivates me in class.

Kirby Tsang, 17

Physics, because I think physicists are great. Starting with nothing, they can  come up with new theories, such as  the theory of relativity. And every day, we use  their theories to help us   with  petty things, like walking.  I think studying physics is  marvellous.

Design technology,  as it's the only subject  that  allows  me to relax.    Of the  wide range of subjects  at  school, I would rather build something that no one can identify instead of learning algebra or learning the rules of osmosis.

Oliver Lodge, 17

Economics, as  it's very educational, interesting and mentally challenging. It requires multiple skills, such as leadership and time management.  Lastly,   it has an important correlation  with    everyday life, an aspect I  consider  important.

Gerard Corrigan, 14

Humanities in action is a unique course that applies our search for social justice  to the modern world.  We can focus on and exemplify our existence on Earth and how it relates to a path of self-actualisation. It's  a great and profound learning experience!
