Dedication The collection is dedicated to God, the founders of the school, and the inspiring principals and teachers of Pui Ching, who seek to make the school the best cradle for nurturing talents and leaders of generations in the past now and the time to come. Foreword Mr. Tam Yat Yuk Oasis is the fruitful collection of the students’ creative writings. Thanks to the untiring effort of our English teachers in promoting writing, Oasis has become a culture in Pui Ching. Many students have developed the readiness to write. They are willing to write and they take pride in sharing their work with others. Some have taken contribution to Oasis as an important annual event. As the principal of Pui Ching, there is nothing happier and more encouraging than to see students love writing and to see life and creativity in their work. Time passes and the year goes. When a student no longer walks up and down the steps, what refreshes his youthful reminiscence may be the inspiration that has been planted in this student classic. Students, why hesitate? Open your minds to the world around you, be aware, read, be inspired and write.

Tam Yat Yuk Principal 7 January 2018 Words from the Editors Subsequent to the previous revised publication of Oasis, there comes the heartwarming applause from various sides. With the precious experience and generous comments, we are now very honored to present to the readers yet another issue of this continual series, with a compilation of our students’ creative expression of their perception towards life. Oasis is a collection of essays, which are primarily the creative work of our students who, through constant practice of reading and writing as well as shrewd observations of their immediate world, pour out their hearts in the form of short stories, novella, letters, diaries and articles. We understand that such precious perception and spontaneity towards life should never be allowed to be laid waste and it is our very aspiration to cultivate creativity in young leaders even at their early age. Sharing of insights, nourishing of the writing culture and an appreciation of literary writing can inspire introspection and unleash the beauty of human minds, thus rekindling our passion for living. Linguistically speaking, it is indeed also our intention to help our students to master the language to express themselves more than adequately. We are so blessed that teachers and students are so supportive in conceiving as well as giving birth to this publication, despite all the sweat and blood through the travails. In taking greater pains to bring forth this issue into existence, we very much hope that when you are reading through the pages, savouring a line or two, may you envisage the oasis of freshness on the parched land of modern hectic life.

In particular, insufficient attention has been paid to the complex demands this form places on TIE actors and as such, the artistry required of them. This thesis addresses these gaps by exploring the experiences of nine TIE actors engaged in two issue-based, interactive TIE works presented in Hong Kong.

  • Language Identification for Person Names Based on Statistical Information
    Proceedings of PACLIC 19, the 19th Asia-Pacific Conference on Language, Information and Computation. Language Identification for Person Names Based on Statistical Information Shiho Nobesawa Ikuo Tahara Department of Information Sciences Department of Information Sciences Tokyo University of Science Tokyo University of Science 2641 Yamazaki, Noda 2641 Yamazaki, Noda Chiba, 278-8510, Japan Chiba, 278-8510, Japan [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Language identification has been an interesting and fascinating issue in natural language processing for decades, and there have been many researches on it. However, most of the researches are for documents, and though the possibility of high accuracy for shorter strings of characters, language identification for words or phrases has not been discussed much. In this paper we propose a statistical method of language identification for phrases, and show the empirical results for person names of 9 languages (12 areas). Our simple method based on n-gram and phrase length obtained more than 90% of accuracy for Japanese, Korean and Russian, and fair results for other languages except English. This result indicated the possibility of language identification for person names based on statistics, which is useful in multi-language person name detection and also let us expect the possibility of language identification for phrases with simple statistics-based methods. 1. Introduction The technology of language identification has become more important with the growth of the WWW. As Grefenstette reported in their paper (Grefenstette 2000) non-English languages are growing in recent years on the WWW, and the need for automatic language identification for both documents and phrases are increasing.
