Testimonials Aber Ahmed Hi there! My name is Aber Ahmed, and I’m a 3rd year student from Bangladesh at The University of Hong Kong where I am majoring in Accounting & Finance. It is my wish to work in an accounting firm, preferably one of the “Big Four” firms, and Hong Kong is a really good platform to build a career in the business and finance world. The seniors are the best mentors you could ask for. When I first got to HKU, there was just so much to do that it was overwhelming. But I was mentored by the seniors, and had help from others who had started off with me. The seniors were kind enough to guide me, and so I help the freshman however I can every year since. It’s not all about work with me though. I like to enjoy my life along with all the work there is. The University of Hong Kong itself has a lot of things that students can try out. One of the first clubs I joined was the Archery club. I’ve dreamt about archery for as long as I can remember! I could always imagine myself, pulling the string on the bow, aiming the arrow, staring down on the target. That finally came true at HKU! Other than archery, I was able to continue old sports and start new ones. I play football, cricket, basketball and tennis on a regular basis with my friends and also perform Bollywood dance with HKU’s Bollywood Dance Group. Of course I need not mention there’s the whole of Hong Kong to visit! Sights to see, things to do, traditions and skills that you can learn, and so much more! Julian Gaertner Hi! I’m Julian and I come from Germany. I graduated with a degree in Social Sciences from HKU in 2011. My first intention of coming to Hong Kong was to study the Chinese language and culture. The greatest thing that I gained from studying at HKU was the ability to reinvent myself. I challenged myself, dove into different cultures and socialized with people from various academic and social backgrounds. I learnt to have the courage to trust my gut. I took the opportunity to learn Mandarin and Cantonese. At HKU, I met with a diverse range of people and used the opportunity to establish great connections that have helped me establish my own company.

Public facilities currently available for playing cricket 2. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) currently provides two designated venues for 11-a-side cricket matches, namely the natural turf pitch at Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground, and the artificial turf pitch at Po Kong Village Road Park, both of which are also used as football grounds. The two pitches are available for hire by the Hong Kong Cricket Association (HKCA), which is the “national sports association” (NSA) responsible for developing the sport in Hong Kong, and by other organisations for holding cricket training or competitions. 3. To help meet an increasing demand for venues for playing cricket, LCSD has prepared a set of guidelines for the hire of turf football pitches for playing sports such as cricket, that involve batting. The department has made three artificial turf football pitches available for such hire, namely: Man Tung Road Park in Islands District, Wu Shan Recreation Playground in Tuen Mun, and Kwong Fuk Football Ground in Tai Po. LCSD has produced a set of guidelines on playing such sports at its turf pitches to ensure safety. 4. To promote cricket at the district level, LCSD has also designated a number of hard-surfaced mini-football pitches for free use by organisations to play “tape-ball” cricket.

  • This Paper Applies a Discourse Perspective to the Pre and Post
    The Discourse of Amateur Cricket: A Linguistic Examination of Pre-match Team Bulletins Phil Glenwright English Department Hong Kong Institute of Education Abstract The purpose of this initial article is to establish the salient discourse features of a particular sporting text type: the emailed pre-match bulletins of a local university cricket team. The article therefore seeks, through a detailed and objective examination of an entirely original corpus compiled by the author, to identify the discourse features of the genre and to assess its degree of coherence for a readership distinguished by its cultural and ethnic diversity yet united by a passion for and talent in this particular sport. In so doing, it simultaneously casts light on the game’s historic colonial and post-colonial setting in Hong Kong, the fortunes of the Hong Kong University Cricket Club itself and the inherent richness and charm of cricketing discourse. Through the application of traditional discourse concepts, the formal characteristics of the bulletins are pinpointed. However, whilst the discourse features of the texts appear largely genre-specific, the particular style of writing is self-evidently idiosyncratic. A further article, applying the same discourse framework to the post-match reports of the same team over the same period, will later identify areas of convergence and divergence between the two text types and assess the degree of overall coherence for the intended audience. Keywords: cricket, discourse analysis, pre-match bulletins, Hong Kong Introduction The purposes of this article are to identify the genre-specific discourse features of a particular cricketing text-type, namely the emailed pre-match bulletins of an amateur cricket team.
