Depression 1 (我的心境)
Sometimes I recall on the hard times in my life.
I thought this kinda affliction to be ceaseless.
Self-doubt, loneliness and fears overwhelmed me.
Those were all I had in my mind and I had no idea about what I was doing.
If you or your friends have ever felt like this before, it is not a shame at all.
Depression 2 (他人經歷)
If you or your friends consistently feel downcast, you may need to pay attention to whether it is a symptom of depression. My cousin had been struggling with depression for many years. In the very beginning he was good at concealing it from me, but later it pestered him so badly that he couldn’t stand anymore. Till some days I would always hear, ‘If I had had a choice, I would never have been born on earth.’ Then, tears automatically burst (bursted) out of his eyes without legitimate reasons. Fortunately, I brought him to see the psychiatrist in time and the symptom stops by now after medication.
Cramming Education in Hong Kong has long been under criticism.
Students in Hong Kong are obliged to gorge immense information, with terrific amount of homework, tests and examinations.
Without doubt, Hong Kong Students’ academic performance surpasses various groups of same-aged pupils from other countries.
Yet, I think there to be no free lunch in the world.

It is said that people who are strong should not bully those who are weak. I am writing to express my concern about the issues of child abuse as my neighbors are suspected of mistreating their children. In the last few weeks, I have been witnessing several incidents of suspected family violence near my neighborhood, which I believe must only have been the tip of the iceberg. As far as I know, the Welfare Department dedicates resources to safeguarding the rights and welfare of children. By uncovering these cases, not only do I hope to shed light on the grave problem of family brutality that is rampant in our society, but also propose that appropriate measures be properly taken to rectify the aggravating problem.

3. Come quick! Otherwise by the time we get to the office, they will have finished the party.
4. You’d better not call Mathew this week. I bet he will be working for the whole week!
5. I anticipate Anna will be needing a rest when she arrives tomorrow. She will have been traveling for over 20 hours on a plane.
Cramming Education
It was 3:30pm. The school bell finally chimed. The head teacher handed over a list of vocabulary and a pile of writing exercises to Mary, ending such a torturous day. No, it hadn’t ended yet. Mary swiftly strapped her backpack and headed over to Mong Kok and trotted for an intensive tutorial class held by a so-called star tutor. What also awaited her back home was an array of past papers on her writing desk. At night, Mary peered through the window, wondering if she could finish all the papers before 3 am, hopefully.
We have lots of students in our city who are living in this similar scenario under the cramming education system.
A family scene - cellphone at hand
A wife wanted to ask advice about changing jobs from her husband. The husband seemed like indifferent and cool, holding his cellphone at hand on the sofa. Later, the wife found out that her husband had his mind stuffed with online games, leaving no room for listening to her inner voice.
We might see our family members day after day. To be honest, it is not an easy job to hear their inner voice. Maybe we are too familiar with or we are too aloof of.
Citizenship Education (公民教育)
I was attending a charity concert (時: 動作表時間). I went to the toilet (地). A father was taking care of his little boy, using the toilet bowl in one of the rooms (地點指定). They finished, came out and left the toilet. I hadn’t heard any sound of flushing. I opened the door and found the 'left-over' of the boy without being flushed. Maybe he thought it's my job to flush for them. So, I did. 【有效營造畫面】
We have lots of people in our city who are not familiar with how to flush. We indeed need some training. 【引出「問題與注意」:回到現在式】
A society overwhelmed with pressure
I still remember the scene. Her tears bursting out from her mournful eyes(時: 動作表時間), I was shocked. Thankfully, I was with her at that time (時)and discovered a suicide note just written on her school desk (地: 具體). Otherwise, I would have lost my best friend forever. 【形造畫面+心路歷程】
Hong Kong is a society overwhelmed with varieties of pressure. We really need someone to share and somebody to walk with. 【引出「問題與注意」:回到現在式】
回到「舊」日，科技一般是用來解決簡單問題，就如用一個燈泡來照亮一間房 或 用一個微波爐來替用餐加熱。這些年來，科技不繼演進，幫助我們跟這個「不只只在我們週遭」的世界保持聯繫。IoT(物聯網)，可以被預先知道: 每一日的事項會被加入軟件、傳感器、其他科技手段以連結任何其他「東西」，並進行數據交換。今時今日，智能科技已經找到路徑進入不同行業，由保健、小型企業、到金融世界。
Back to the ‘old’ days, technology was generally used to solve simple problems such as a light-bulb to illuminate a room or a micro-wave oven to heat a dish. Over the years, technology has been evolving to help us stay connected to the world not just only ‘around’ us. IoT, the ‘internet of things,’ can be foreseen that everyday items that are filled with software, sensors, and other technological means to simply connect with or exchange data with any other ‘things’. In this day and age, smart tech has found its way into various industries, ranging from healthcare, small businesses to the financial world.

Who are willing to live under such incessant slavery？
Political crises resulting from incessant civil wars are still conspicuous in Syria today.
The air is filled with people’s outrage, with intermittent siren heard.
The epidemic is still under control, while sporadic cases are still being found.
What it eventually resulted in was that what amateurs wanted to express their own ideas in professional geological journals was more difficult, since widely using the system of thesis refereeing which are monopolized by several local geological journals in the 20th century, after used by national journals in the 19th century, has furthered the consequence.
