Due to the draw, Hongkong were off the hook and would be in a better position int he second leg.
When the match was over, I turned off the television and continued on my review, ready for the examination on the following day.

Watching a Football match Part II
April 23rd, 2009
Hongkong, however, adopted the tactics of close defence and sudden attack and was therefore in a state of coming under attack. But they ere successsful in the tactics and got the draw they wanted.
Hongkong did not have worthwhile efforts exvept fot the ball sent in vain by Chan Fatchi who was in the thick of things. The first half saw no scores at all.
In the second half, Hongkong put up a disciplined display and on many occasions had 11 men behind the ball. Guangdong continued on the attack without much success. Confronting the close defence, Guangdong ran out of ideas and starting pumping high balls into the middle, where MoCrory had things sorted out and took care of them with out too many difficulties.

Watching a Football match Part I
April 15th, 2009
I am a typical football fan. It goes with out saying that I would not miss the opportunity to watch the first leg of the two-leg Interport between Guangdong and Hongkong.
When three o’clock was due, I switched on my television set. The Guangdong People’s stadium was exposed to view on the screen. No sooner had the whistle been blwon than the match started. Guangdong, fielding five of the national players, gabe free play to their quick tactics. In the fourth minute, Ku Kwongming made his first shot but it was taken by Hingking goalkeeper Chu Kwok-kuen. In the tenth minute, Rong Zhihang, laying in ambush in front of the goal, got a pass from Ng YUkwah and headed the ball staight into the hands of goalkeeper Chu. Two minutes later, Ku Kwongming easily beat Hongkong’s Chan Saikau and crossed for WOng Kwunwai who kneed past the goal mouth from six yards out. By now Hongkong were under heavy pressure and with the ball being swung dangerously into the penalty area, it looked only a matter of time that a goal would be scored.

He though hsi father would be willing to arrange with a shipping company for the acceptance of him into their staff.

For this reason, he urged David to return to school and carry on with his studies until the graduation. His father said to him:” David, do learn a lesson from this experience.”
David’s dream of being a senior officer went up in the smoke. He came to know that he had to be earnest and down-to-earth.

A Dashed Dream Part I
February 21st, 2009
David was a naughty boy who had never concentrated on his studies but had frittered away his time. He wished that he would be s senior officer on board a ship when he grew up so that he could order seamen about and go round the world impressively.
When he finished Form III, he did not want to go on with his studies. He knew some of his elder brother’s friends had brought about their wishes to be seamen through the training programme of the Hongkong United Dockyards Ltd.. Therefore, when the dockyard enrolled new trainees in the same programme, he went to enter his name for it, bringing the school report with him. As soon as the person in charge had a look at the report, he shook his head and told David that he was below the mark and therefore could not be admitted. He left the dockyard disappointedly.
