A Decision I've Made - Kiu Yan ZHAO

The decision today I am gonna talk to is also the reason why am I here. 

Turning back to last year late August, I applied for suspension from my secondary school as I am gonna prepare a test of art for a university school in China Mainland. I thought it would go well. However, my school did not allow it and if I have to explain it, it would be long. So simply said, all is because there are two different education systems between Hong Kong and China Mainland. Thus, something work in China Mainland may not work in Hong Kong.

When I received the reply from my secondary school, I was grieved. I almost gonna cry but I didn't. Until I told the result to my uncle, I cannot control myself. I tryna pretend I was calm but I can't. Hence, I cried and told the whole thing to my uncle through the phone. And my uncle told me that we cannot change it as this is the rule. Therefore, he provided me with two choices. One is studying in China but not art, and two is studying overseas. Until now, I still have no regret about my decision and it leads me sitting here to type my story down.

Surveillance Technology - Emi Kawamori

   I think that the advantage and disadvantage of surveillance technology is the debatable problem. In my opinion, the technology of the CCTV camera makes our life much safer. If there was no CCTV camera around the city, there might be a lot of crimes. For example, in the supermarket, it could be much easier to stole the stuffs. In case of on the street at night, the possibility of happened to meet suspicious person would be rise. According to above, the technology of CCTV camera makes our life safer and thanks to it, we don't have to much scared of stranger. Although there are any benefit to us, I sometimes feel little scared of the CCTV camera. When I use the lift, there are often CCTV cameras on the wall. It makes inside of the lift safe, but we cannot know who is watching us.  I feel scared of been seen by someone without my notice. As conclusion, it makes our life safer, but the company which sets the cameras  should make it clear who is watching and how the inf...

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.

Market Day Debrief - Nagisa Kanakubo

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.
