Education system in Hong Kong

    The educational system in Hong Kong are based on the British style, starts with kindergarten, primary schools, secondary schools and move on to Universities. 

    It is often claimed that the education style in Hong Kong focus too much on memorising, which limited the development of student's creativity and imagination. This recite style of education however do have its advantages compare to other education system in terms of the quality of its production - student.

    Compare to students from other countries, Hong Kong student usually shows their ability in answering questions. Hong Kong student was trained to answer questions in a direct way, to fill in main points only. This is always a great advantage for Hong Kong people to do things effectively.   

    Secondly, student in Hong Kong started to learn both English and Chinese from 3 years-old. A good bilingual ability gives Hong Kong students stronger competitiveness with in the world, especially under the rapid growth of the chinese economy.

presentation review

First I have to say sorry about not taking any notes,すみません。 cos I am too focus in listening~*
So I just talk about those I can remember.

One thing surprised me is that not only young people in Japan watch anime, but also adult << of course not counting お宅~ I used to think that Japanese people don't really like watching anime though~
I still can really understand the differences between お宅andニートbtw, maybe I will ask Phillip san again for this~* Actually I do agree that the movie 電車男 do affect Hong Kong people's mind a lot, creating negative images to those お宅<< including me...... which might not be true.

Another thing that is quite interesting is none of the people filling in the questions have been to either Ocean park and Disneyland. Some people don't even know there is a Disneyland in hong kong@@ Unbelievable!!!!!

About suggestion though, I think we can try to catch people on the street and talk to them in Japanese~*
It should be interesting to see people's reaction XD
