THOSE STUDENTS FROM MAINLAND CHINA ARE REALLY DISGUSTING
I am NOT discrimminating them!!!
As new comers' english is no good, we need to study in an English
Intensive Unit first before we can get to normal class. And they
tried their "best" to "put" themselves in a
normal class, even though their english is not good enough...
They smoke. Well, it's "normal" in nowadays, but the "sting" from their body is really disgusting...[ok, it's not just for those student, even the whole smoking-population]
They play gals as a toy........
[am i actually discrimminating them??? I tried to make friends with them before, so my mandarin is not too bad... However, they didn't treat me as their friend, they talk to me just because I AM FROM HONG KONG......and they THINK i have a bit money......What are they thinking about??????]
Some students go to casino all the time.
A girl goes to a boy's house at 12midnight, then come back with 2
strong boys.
They always hold party, drink, smoke, girls, whatever.
What makes them act like that??
They have the money to come here to study, that means their background is not bad, and most of them are the only kid in their family.
Why???

Esther,
I am sure that the group of student from
mainland China
is only a minority group. I have heard of and know of
many that behave very well in class and does very well
in school.
Don't you remember in the past that
there has been reports
on the newspaper that some mainland students perform very
well in School. They are not all VERY BAD and not all very
GOOD.
The word that would describe this kind
of thinking is not
Discrimination, it should be Stereotype. This word means to
judge and person by the social group they belong to
HERE IN CANADA, is pretty much the same
(at least from my own
experience). Within the group of Hong Kong students, there is
a group of very good student, a big group of average students and
finally, a group of bad students.
Similar to your experience, I have met
some that does very bad in
school, they drive cars that are much better than the teachers or
the principle, they smoke, swear, sleep around and don't go home
at night.
I have had a few friends that were like
that. However, the difference
among us soon moved us apart and I began to STEREOTYPE all Hong
Kong
students as the same way.
Luckily, I have soon realize that they
are only a minority group among
Hong Kong students, and dropped my prejudice against other Hong
Kong
students.
As time went on, I began to realize that
I cannot put all the blame on
them for being who they are. I have learnt that some of those
"BAD"
students have broken families, or parents that didn't care for
them other
than giving them money.
If we dislike these kinds of behaviours,
why don't we do something about
it so that China's next generation will not turn out the same way?

[well, maybe my English is no good, but practise can get better........mmm....]
LIVING BY SELF IS H-A-R-D........
Yeah, no one say that's easy to live alone.....and even i am not REALLY living in a big house by myself.....
[bkgd info: i am living in the basement of a house---it's next to the garage, and i my "place", there are one seperate kitchen and one seperate bathroom, and it has nearly everything in my room(TV, Video Recorder, desk x 2, one large bed...)]
The first thing that I need to worry about is money. As i am NOT doing any part-time job(cos i've been work in M's, so i knew how hard it is...), I need to use my parent's money properly...>_< people think i am "penny pincher"(hey, i mean "gu hong guai"), cos i hold the calculator all the time.....ha ha ha..... :(
And the next thing is EAT...
I need to cook my myself (of course!!!). During the first few
days, I use my pan to cook ("hoi wok") everyday, then,
well, eventually, I'm just too lazy to do it, so I use the
microwave oven to cook, and then I found that my friend works in
a market, so I ask her to bring me some food when she after work...(hey,
it can SAVE MONEY....)
The third thing is SELF-CONTROL (well,
those things are not following the "order", so, just
read...)
Living by myself, and as there is a "china town"
("jung gwok sing", a house where many students from
mainland China are living inside, at least seven) in the opposite
of my place, sometimes i am really scared, cos "some"
of them have been a "gate crasher" before (i mean,
"someone" has came to my place without anyone in this
house's permition)... Apart from this, the self-control for my
homework is also important. Especially my parents are not with me
now (they are in Hong Kong). I always remind myself that STUDY is
the main purpose for me to be here, so i need to WORK HARD to get
a good mark, then leave this "San Kara" place...
Well, apart from above thing, I have
many things to worry about, too.......
mmm.... i saw this sentence from a book:
NOTHING ABOUT LIFE IS EASY---BUT, AT LEAST SOMETIMES, IT CAN BE REALLY, REALLY FUNNY!
Need to do my assignmentS now, due tomorrow. See ya!!

[Thank you for giving me space to type boring stuff]
mmmm..... what should be the topic for Chapter 3???
EXCURSION
I've been to 3 excursions since in get into the normal class. And bad-luck things always happen on me...
That was my Tourism Excursion. Cos we
were a small class, so we preferred go there by bus rather than
by rental-van. As the bus-stop is down the hill(just a small one),
we needed to walk there.
Unfortunately, on that day, when we reached the bus stop, the bus
just gone, the next one will probably come after 30 mins. So we
just waited.....
Raining. 13 of us(13?!) stuck at the bus stop and waited for the
bus... Suddenly, a truck came close to us, and........"Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!!".......
Cool shower, for all of us, 12 student and one teacher.
The second one is my Economic Excursion.
This time cos we needed to go to a shopping centre in suburb, we
rented two vans (and this time is a big class as well).
The whole class were waiting in the front of our school, and
finally the teacher came. At that time, those vans had came
already, so we thought they will just wait there (does it make
sense??)...
However, when the teacher was taking a roll, those vans drove
away!!! We were sure that those vans were empty and no other
class was having an excursion on that day.
The teacher whistled. Of course it's no use, but at least she'd
done something about it. Then, what should we do??? Cancell the
excursion or what???
Well, certainly not (is that make sense again??)...
The teacher asked a student to catch those vans back, and finally
we got on the van...
Well, well, well, how about the 3rd one??? Oh, that's a good one, a "normal one", nothing bad happened, thanks god......[sigh]...
best wishes,
ESTHER

[the neverending story........]
SMOKERS AGAIN, NOT THE STUDENTS BUT THOSE TEACHERS
Very disppointed. When I first smell the sting from my accounting teacher (she is AP- assist principal), I just couldn't believe it...
I think teachers should have a good influence on their students, but unfortunately, as they are human, they have that bad hobby...[mmm... what do i wanna say?? I'm always like that. Even sometimes I know I am going to say something, but I just can't "say it out"...)
I heard my friends said that those teachers will go to somewhere outside but close to our school to smoke. And of course, students can see them...

O some of the teachers in my school smoke too. They called for a break and leave their F.1s and 2s in the classroom for tens of mins, and they returned with a smelly cavity. Some of them somke in the Gym, some beside the pool, some even in the smelly toilet (a toilet that haven't been furnished since the second world war). Accompanied w/ them r swear words and (by undisclosed agency) porns......
Well...... i think it's ironic for the teacher to ban students doing these things but at the same time practising by themselves.

In Reply to: What do u think of teacher smokers? posted by Sam (98H) on April 22, 2000 at 09:13:24:
I think I didn't meet teacher smokers in secondary schools.
But some lecturers smokers (from the smell in their offices, the
smell of the notes they prepared....>_<)
I see lecturers claiming that they gamble with their friends on
weathers, development of political events....)
When I heard these, I was rather surprised--Is a teacher supposed
to do this?
But can university lecturers and school teachers compared like
this?
Is this a stereotype or duty?
