Back to School Liu Po Shan Memorial College Student News Issue 1, October 2016 BACK TO SCHOOL University of Hong Kong professor of cultural studies reaches out to LPSMC students S. 6 students return for their final year of secondary school English Sunny Kwan Corner Long Ching back in from 3B business interviews former American boxing 1 champion Liu Po Shan Student News analyzing literary texts and other forms of writing, films, and other socio-cultural phenomena, from the city and its multiple spaces and communities to the media and popular culture, and in a range of national and international contexts. We look for students who love to ask questions, to explore possible answers, and more importantly to learn to live in the suspense of not knowing. As you LPSMC Students progress in our major, read a range of theoretical, literary and filmic texts and Interested in participate in all forms of original research and creative activity, you will be exposed to new Comparative Literature ideas and alternative ways of thinking.

In my department, we study other cultures to better understand our own. We read culture by 2 Liu Po Shan Student News Battle Royale This month two students argue about the quality of the school canteen. My Criticism about the Canteen By Kitty Lau Pui Shan 2B (23) I have some critiques about the school canteen, Cherry’s Tuck-shop. So let me tell you about them. I think the price of a box of apple green tea is more expensive at Cherry’s than other places. In many stores, a box of apple green tea is selling for $2.5 but at the canteen it sells for $4. It is not only the apple green tea that is more expensive but a box of lemon tea, a box of cool peach tea and a box of milk are also more expensive than other places. Also I wish that they would sell more kinds of food, such as better quality hotdogs, a larger selection of dim sum and salad. Why doesn’t the canteen invest in salad? There are a lot of vegetables in salad which is healthier for students. I also think Cherry’s Tuck-shop needs more people to help them. When lunch time starts, there are always a lot of students lining up in front of the canteen and there are not enough workers. Students waste a lot of time waiting in line. By the time I get my food, lunchtime is over. I think it is not fair. The Canteen of My Life By Arry Ng Lok Wai 2B (27) Cherry’s Tuck-shop is a nice place for students to take a rest. There are a lot of cheap but high quality items, which can be purchased from the school canteen. Egg & sausage burgers, fish sandwiches and teriyaki chicken are some of the snacks available on the menu. These items are usually not available at the local 7-11 or Circle-K. I always go to the school canteen and enjoy the food with my friends. There are many traditional and tasty snacks which can be found in the tuck shop too. One of the highly recommended snacks from Cherry’s is the shiumai. It has a good taste and the texture can’t be described by words. There is only one thing that I can complain about. If the canteen work staff could rush less and be friendlier with the students, then Cherry’s Tuck-shop would be perfect. 3 Liu Po Shan Student News Dramatic Passion! The LPSMC Drama Club aka The LPS Players return for another banner year. By Janice Wong Wing Lam 4B (21) & Beryl Lee Hoi Pui 4D (20) “One minute on the stage, ten years of practice off the stage.” A meaningful proverb which best describes the hard work behind the scenes of the English Drama Club. Last year, the LPSMC English Drama Club performed an inspiring show called "The Cost of Truth" with the script written by all of the Drama Club members. The play is about a passionate journalist who is forced to choose among power, responsibility and friendship. The play also comments on the contemporary media culture in Hong Kong. “The Cost of Truth” teaches and inspires making it really worth watching. The LPSMC Drama Club has a history of success. During the past three years the LPS Players have been awarded the prizes for Most Outstanding Script, Outstanding Cooperation and the Most Commendable Overall Performance amongst its many achievements. 4 Liu Po Shan Student News Individual awards were also presented to the LPS Players for Outstanding Performers. Moreover, the LPSMC Drama Club was honored the Adjudicators' Award three years ago which gave them the chance to perform in the Tsuen Wan Town Hall. Earning these awards helped prove that LPSMC has one of the best drama clubs in Hong Kong. But without the back stage helpers and former teachers, Miss Tsang, Miss Tung, Mr. Lam and Mr. Kenny, the LPSMC Drama Club would never achieve such high success. This year, the English Drama Club is going to have a fresh new look. The Club welcomes the new drama teacher, Mr. Linn. Mr. Linn has had some success as well, previously as the drama coach with the most prizes in EDB-NET Competitions in 2015 (6 prizes) at another school. The Drama Club also welcomes Miss Wong and Miss Hilda, and all of the new members joining the LPSMC family. The LPS Players are confident that with their help and support, the LPSMC Drama Club is going to be the best drama club it can be! Besides having new teachers and members, this year the LPSMC Drama Club will join some new competitions and performances; for example, the English Week Play Performance, the Speak-Out/Act-Up Improvisational Drama Competition and the Film-It student film production. Having these changes and new challenges ahead, the LPS Players are really looking forward to working together and performing great shows! The English Drama Club is more like a big family than just a club. They support, remind, encourage and cheer for each other during the journey of achieving their dreams. 5 Liu Po Shan Student News Growing Up in America By Marcos Linn – Grade 10 (S.3) My name is Marcos Linn and I live in Mobile, Alabama, USA. I am 15 years old and in Grade 10 (S.3). Life here is much slower compared to Hong Kong. People take their time to do things and never rush. Local shops close around 7 or 8 o’clock and I go to bed at 9 o’clock every night. Mobile is very rural so our houses and land property are very big compared to the houses within a compact city. So I can ride my four wheel motorcycle in the mud in my large backyard after school. I go to Theodore High School which is a good school. I get math homework everyday but I never get homework from other classes. I play soccer-football for the Theodore High School “Bobcats” too. I scored 7 goals and had 8 assist last season. My biology class is my favorite and the canteen offers good food like frozen yogurt, gumbo, cheese steak sandwiches, cinnamon buns, corndogs and fried chicken with biscuits. Do you eat the same things in Hong Kong? Theodore High School did have some problems last year. There were some fist fights on campus and people smoking in the bathrooms, but this year the students are much more disciplined. I always stay away from trouble, thanks to my big brother Fernando and my parents. They always told me to stay away from drugs and to pay attention in class. I want to go to either the University of Arizona or the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) one day. Being a Latino in Alabama is pretty cool. I am Mexican-American so the food that my mom and dad cook is amazing. They make special Mexican dishes like enchiladas. Enchiladas are made with rolled corn tortillas stuffed with melted cheese and covered in chili sauce. I love different types of Latin music too like banda music. Banda music sounds similar to a Polish or German polka. I love it. My life in Alabama is amazing and I'm happy to be here. I hope that one day that I can visit and meet all of you at Liu Po Shan Memorial College, and play basketball and soccer with you. Also be nice to Mr. Linn because he is my big brother and my favorite teacher. 6 Liu Po Shan Student News ENGLISH CORNER The English Corner is a great place that you can come to play English games and relax during lunchtime. There are two teachers monitoring the English Corner and they love to chat with students. They are Mr. Linn and Mr. Byron. Mr. Linn is from the USA and Mr.

  • Q & a with Wilfredo Vasquez
    Q & A with Wilfredo Vasquez Jr. Just a few weeks back Wilfredo Vazquez Jnr 18-0-1(15) joined his father as the first Puerto Rican father/Son combination to win a world title when he KO’d Marvin Sonsona in 4 rounds to capture the vacant WBO Super Bantamweight crown. Going it is was seen by many as a 50-50 contest, clearly Vazquez was paying attention to this and demolished his younger Filipino opponent who was thought to be the second coming of Manny Pacquiao. Vazquez 25, came into the fight with without any amateur experience and only 77 rounds in the pro’s however what he does have is a big punch something he’s inherited from his father of the same name who in the late 80’s early 90’s won 3 world title as three weight’s including Super Bantamweight. Here’s what Vazquez had to say. Hello Wilfredo, welcome to 15rounds.com Anson Wainwright – Congratulation’s on winning your first World title. Looking back at the fight what can you remember about the fight & What did it mean to you personally to realize your dream? Wilfredo Vazquez Jnr – Thanks, I remember all of my fans supporting me, this was my biggest accomplishment in my life, being able to win the title and make history with my Father it was a big dream. Anson Wainwright – You’ve only fought once in Puerto Rico so far in your career but what did it mean to you that you won the title in front of your own people? Wilfredo Vazquez Jnr – I fought only once before but I’m use to fight with the fans behind me in Kissimmee, Florida where a lot of Puerto Rican’s live and I made most of my career.

  • Things to Do in Alamo City
    Things to do in Alamo City SAN ANTONIO – I can see Alamodome from my window. It’s a mile southeast of where I sit, and its southwestern spire is visible between Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and Tower of the Americas. Alamodome’s history is interesting in a way that enkindles barbershop dialogues. Indulge me a bit. Before he became the 10th secretary of Housing and Urban Development – and inadvertently fired the starter’s pistol on policies that brought economic ruin 15 years later – Henry Cisneros was a mayor enchanted by the idea of professional football in Alamo City. Build a stadium, his thinking went, and the NFL will come. The city built Alamodome, but professional football never came (unless one counts the Saints’ 2005 refugee appearance after Hurricane Katrina). The local branch of University of Texas began its inaugural football season last fall, and Alamodome will have an Arena Football League team later this year. But you get the picture. Saturday, happily enough, Alamodome will return to doing what it does well as any stadium in the country: host prizefighting. Two upcoming stars – one by inheritance, the other ingenuity – will headline the card. Nonito Donaire, the ingenious one, will make his super bantamweight debut against Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. And Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will defend a middleweight title against Marco Antonio Rubio, using the patronym that set an attendance record at Alamodome five months after it opened in 1993. Or perhaps Chavez-Rubio will be 2012’s best fight. Nobody knows how these things go. This city certainly does not and even if it did would be reticent to say so.
