My African Friend- amended

My friend arrived at Hong Kong today. He was very rich in his country. He was an African. I took him to street stalls to eat some Hong Kong delicacies. He was very happy, because there were different kinds of food.

He liked to eat egg puffs, he said they were very cute and delicious. I bought herbal jelly for him, and he shook suddenly when he was eating it. He said, “It is very cold for me, because I come from a very hot country! But it was very sweet, and I like it. Can you buy some hot jelly for me?” I answered, “Sorry, the jelly needs to be icy, if not it will turn bad and it cannot be eaten!”

.

The next day, I took him to Ocean Park, because he had never seen any sea animals before he came here. When we went in, he saw some sharks and thought they were lovely. We went to the Headland Rides. He was very excited after playing in the Raging River. It was because he was very hot when he lined up for the Raging River, and he could cool down in the river.

.

He was very happy in Hong Kong. He told me about cultural differences and their beautiful accessories made of bones. Then, he went back to Africa. I thought he would remember this trip.

My Strange Neighbour- amended

I was a From.1 student. I had a new neighbour and her name was Candy. She was very strange. She didn’t like to talk with others. She always went to the library. I thought her hobby was reading books.

One day, she moved in next door. When I went to school we ran into each other, I asked her some questions, but she did not answer me. When I went to school that day, I saw light in her pocket and I was curious. I went back home, and I saw from my window that she was eating sashimi. I thought there were enough for her to eat one year. There were forty-three boxes in her red refrigerator, twenty-nine in a green refrigerator, one hundred and forty-five in a black refrigerator. There were many sashimis all over the house.

I thought she was very rich. When it was six o’clock in the evening, her parents and sister came back. I could not see their faces, because they wore hats and masks. I wanted to know what they looked like. At school, she always drew during class. She drew quickly and she got many art awards. But I thought she was unhappy, because she did not smile.

One day, our Chinese teacher told us to work on a project with our neighbor. Candy gave me a letter which wrote: “Would you like to do this project at my home?” I was very happy, because I could see her family and I could eat the sashimi.

When I went to her home, I saw many games. I was very happy and played happily. I forgot to do my work, only Candy did the project. When it was three o’clock in the afternoon, I went to Candy and she scolded, “Don’t play anymore, do the project! If not, you can go back home and no need to come!”

I felt guilty and I did the project with her and I knew she was a serious girl. When it was six in the evening, her father was back. He was surprised to see me and asked, “Who is he?” Candy answered, “He is my classmate and he is doing a project with me!” Then, he took off his mask and I recognized him. He was the chief executive!

Candy said to me when her father went back to his room, “My mother was very busy and no time to cook dinner to me, so she bought many sashimi for me to eat!” I knew all the mysteries were solved and became friends with Candy.
