When Alice got up, she saw a rabbit running fast. “It was a rabbit in my dream!” Alice shouted and ran after the rabbit. Her sister ran with Alice too. “Oh no, help me!” Alice shouted again and fell with her sister into the hole.

They walked and walked. Suddenly, a man wearing a hat called Hatter ran to their left. “Where is this place?” Hatter murmured. “I know, it is the other world. Let’s go there！” said Alice happily. A mouse fell into the hole and said quickly, “Hi I am…” “You are Mouse！” Alice said.

"We ought to go into our house, or else we will die. There’s no food and water here. Help us please!” Alice and her sister cried.

A caterpillar lay down on the ground and said, “Babies, go away from this place faster! If you don’t run away, you will be killed by the Queen and King of Hearts. Let’s go to the stairs beside the hole, quickly!”

The playing cards, the King and the Queen surrounded the two girls. “They are stupid!” all the playing cards shouted. “Music, quick!” the King ordered and danced.

Today, there was a small argument, and a father was hit in the eye!

It goes like this…The father wanted to take his two sons to the park. When they went out of their flat, there were other two men in the lobby. One was called Ben, the other Tony and Tony’s girlfriend Ying.

When the two men and one of the children went into the lift, Ben suddenly said angrily, “Get out, stupid!” “Wait for the other lift, this one is ours, baby!” Tony shouted. The child’s father was angry and took his children into the lift first. The other two men hit the father’s eye. Ying used a bag to hit the father’s back. A child used his father’s phone to call 999.

The father had to stay in the hospital for two months and the police arrested the other two men.

What really happened?

"SOS” superman helps me? -- Amended by Phyllis

Halloween is on 31st October. Five people went to a mountain on that day. They were Ben, Jenny, Ken, Tony and Sam.

When it was 11 p.m., they stayed in the mountain. They had dinner there. They went to the forest at midnight. “Help me！” Ben suddenly screamed. Many monsters caught Ben away.

When the monsters brought Ben to another forest, they stopped when they were next to some yellow trees. There were many witches.〝You have to become Peter Pan！”the witches shouted. Then, the witch used a curse to make him into Peter Pan. “At one o’clock Ben will became an evil man called Peter Pan,” shouted a witch.

The other four children were trying to save Ben, and they saw the trees turning from green to red to blue to, finally, black. “I think we went to a ghost forest,” said Sam. “Let’s go out of the forest.” When they turned back, a ghost caught them and put them into a jail.

In the jail, they saw Ben again. ”Ben, why didn’t the monsters catch us, but only you?” asked Ken. “I don’t know！” Shouted Ben. A man opened the jail door. “I think he is Batman！” murmured Ken. “No, he is Spiderman！” “Hi, my name is Superman,” the man said. Suddenly, a witch, a ghost, a vampire, a werewolf, a wizard, Tinkerbell, an invisible monster, Frankenstein and God of Death came. Superman used super hand to make them run away.

When the children and superman went out of the forest at 1 a.m., Ben flew in the sky and became Peter Pan！”Superman, you have to die now！Bye-bye！” Peter Pan said angrily. Superman suddenly became huge and used super light to turn Peter Pan back to Ben. Finally, the five children went back to their house and fell asleep quickly.

All abouy eating - Phyllis' amendments

It is a sad news report. A shop selling fishballs, “siu mai”, fake shark’s fin, fried noodles, fried chicken wings, fried sweet potato, red and green bean soup, congee, sesame soup, sweet potato soup, French fries, apple pie, wanton, shrimp dumpling and soya milk in Causeway Bay. You can eat five bowls in two minutes because they are too yummy.

.

Although pop star Jenny Leung opened this shop, two people were food poisoned there. Many policemen went there to close the shop. Jenny was fined for HK$300,000 and the staff had to go to jail for two months. Many visitors said Hong Kong food is not good now. Jenny’s fans said she did not work hard and her songs were not good.

Eating Place

We've discussed today about eating. Pick an eating place we've talked about (restaurant, cafe, dai pai dong, tea house, etc) and write a story about it. Think, for example, about what would happen in that place? What kind of people will be there? What kind of food will they order? What will they talk about?

Somewhere in time - amended by Phyllis

Do you want to go back to a happy year?

I want to go back in time, when I was 6 years old. When I was P.1, I never did much homework and on weekdays we can go to some interesting places. In the picture, my sister and I were in Stanley and we were using clay to make a cartoon model. I always liked playing and never did much homework, and that's why I would want to go back to that period.

Picture Story (amended by Phyllis)

Once upon a time, there were some “super-magicians” living in the sky and in a tree house. We could not see them because they wore invisible coats, and we could only see their shoes. They could make people fly in the sky. The magic was a mystery. The magic was special and could amaze you. Some magicians played pranks on thieves. Some people said they were like policemen. Now the super-magicians lived on earth but we could not see them.

When the super-magicians lived in the magic world, they did not have money to buy anything. Alvin was one of them. When he was young, is family was poor and did not have much food to eat. So Alvin went to the magic school to learn some magic. When he was 12 years old, he used magic to make more gold so his family was not poor. They could have more food and were not hungry everyday. Now, he has built magic schools on earth and is living here. He is a famous magician. Everyone goes to his school to learn about magic. The magic world has disappeared.

Reminder:
BECAUSE and SO cannot appear in the same sentence.

Rewriting the Ending of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

The Chocolate Factory was closed from 1950 to 2003. Willy Wonka put five golden tickets in 5 chocolate bars. If you had a golden ticket, you could go to thechocolate factory which had been closed for 53 years. Five children got the golden ticket. They were a computer boy, a fat boy, a competitive girl, Charlie, and me (a rich girl).

In the factory, the fat boy drank the chocolate milk in the chocolate river. Buthe was too fat, so he fell into the river. I wanted Charlie to lose the competition, so I told a monkey to catch Charlie. He wasthrown to the sweet mountain, but the competitive girl pushed me to the mountainas well. The computer boy and the competitive girl went onto the boat, and thecompetitive girl was thrown into the ice-cream pool. Finally, the computer boy won the competition and he got the factory. I was very angry and I never talked to my Dad.
