SCMP Reporter

Where should we go on Christmas Eve?

Well, there's Lan Kwai Fong, Times Square or Tsim Sha Tsui. It's your choice.

I want to see the towering Christmas tree with its dazzling lights.

We will have   to go to Central then.

I heard there will be musical shows at the Cultural Centre. But we will have to get there early as it's open seating.

We should do that. We'll be in  Tsim Sha Tsui anyway.

All right, so we'll stick around Tsim Sha Tsui, watch the show, and then take the Star Ferry to Central.

Sounds good to me.

Language points

1. dazzling lights

Lights that are dazzling are beautiful, bright and impressive.

Eg. The Victoria Harbour waterfront has come alive with a sea of dazzling lights.

2. open seating

When an event has open seating, the seats cannot be reserved. People can choose any seat that is available.

Eg. It's open seating at the Faith Hill concert, so get there early if you want to get a good seat.

3. stick around

When you stick around a place, you remain where you are.

Eg. Peter asked me to stick around the classroom because he had something to tell me.

Discussion:

What are your plans for Christmas Eve? Will you be spending it with your friends or family?
