News from our Ambassador in Hong Kong
Hi guys, Jackalyn C from Hong Kong speaking here…
I went to Shanghai for a trip from May 20th to May 22nd. I always ask questions so that I will learn more. So, I asked my mother on the airplane, “If I have 100 Chinese Yuan, how much is that in Hong Kong dollars?” My mom did not know how to answer me. So I tried to figure it out by myself, using Maths, of course. (The answer is $115).
When we were on the airplane, I looked at my watch and remembered the time. When the plane landed, I looked at my watch again and calculated the time. I just love using Maths to solve problems.
On Monday, our year level went to the park in Kowloon Tong to study about Chinese history.
Engaging my Math’s brain, I calculated the time from when we left school to when we returned. We returned 1 hour early because of all the mosquito bites on my classmates’ hands and legs! I asked my teacher, Mr. Rowse, so many times to let me take a picture of him in front of the mighty canon (real one). But, sadly there was no time. Below is a picture of me in front of the canon, with a surprised face!
