SCMP Reporter

Daniel Muntz, 18

Novel  and creative writing.  It gives me a chance  to express my feelings through poetry and short stories. I also get to read a variety of different novels, each conveying their own themes, symbolism and lessons. I've been inspired by  every essay I've written and book I've read for this subject.

Eric Lam, 17

Chemistry. You'll never know what will happen when you mix together chemicals unless you've studied it. Explosion? Change of colour? Evolve into gas? You won't be satisfied knowing only the potential outcomes. Studying chemistry helps you uncover myths.

Kay Lau, 17

I'm mad about history. A history teacher who spent half of each class recounting 'this day in history' ignited my interest, which was further flamed by visits to the British Museum and my ability to wheedle points out of history essay questions.

Gloria Lam, 17

Physical education. Heavy workloads drive me crazy. Doing exercise and enjoying the sunshine while in the playground helps me to relax. I can learn sports such as hockey, karate, tennis or even tai chi from PE lessons. They're a lot of fun.

Natasha Ramchandani, 14

I'm quite a nerd, so I admit to enjoying all my subjects. However, I have a special affinity for Spanish.  It's the language of romance and, when spoken, is undeniably mesmerising. I've used it in  real life  and it has helped me communicate with wonderful people.

Prerna Bajaj, 15

The subject I like the most is the one that unravels the difference between beliefs and facts. It sheds light onto the darkness of ignorance and takes us to the world of knowledge. It gives us an opportunity to test  theories instead of believing them blindly. Did you guess what my favourite subject is? It's science.

Ryan Chute, 17

History, because it's intriguing to see how different events of the past have unfolded and affect the world today. Understanding the minds of leaders, whether they be Winston Churchill or Che Guevara, is also exciting.

Shirley Law, 17

Advanced placement English ranks the highest on my list this year. Class discussions are interesting and challenging, especially when we  delve  into the depths of the human psyche. Plus, understanding Shakespeare has become a lot easier - who doesn't like that sense of satisfaction?

Vanessa Green, 14

I have two favourite subjects: physical education and English. I love sports, so I enjoy PE classes, which give  me a chance to improve my skills. I like English because I like to write  as a hobby.   The classes give me a chance to express myself.
