Aaria Gera (Aged 6), French International School

One of my favourite trips was a visit to the aquarium. It was full of sea creatures such as fish, axolotls, sea urchins, and sharks.

I met my friend Hazel there. She told me fun facts about each animal. Then we saw the penguins. There was a button, and when we pressed it, we could hear the penguins squeaking and squealing.

I loved my visit to the aquarium and hope to go again soon with Hazel and have lots of fun.

Skyler & Thyler Ng (Aged 9), Spanish School of Hong Kong

Our father works as a film editor. Most people don’t understand the nature of this work.

Recently, the Society of Film Editors Hong Kong held an event called “Magic Behind the Screens” in Times Square, Causeway Bay. It allowed everyone to see what it was like to be an editor for a day.

Through the interactive zone, we could see the editing steps, try out film colour grading, and edit special effects and sound effects to create fascinating works.

In addition, we would like to pay tribute to these editors who have worked hard behind the scenes and persisted in their dreams.

Hilarie Kam Cho-yin, (Aged 11), Good Hope Primary School Cum Kindergarten

If I could run away from one responsibility in my life, it would be being an elder sister. Whenever my sister gets into trouble, she will blame me for not reminding her. I try to explain things to my parents, but it never works. In addition, if she does something mischievous, my parents never scold her harshly because they think she is younger and doesn’t know much. I am fed up with taking on all these responsibilities, and I hate it!
