2013 DSE English Paper 2 Part A 題目
For question 1, write about 100 words for each photo.
You are taking part in a photo exhibition called ‘My Memories’. As part of the photo exhibition, you have presented two photos. Now, you need to give a title to each and a brief explanation of why these photos are meaningful to you.
Turning a New Page
This photo captures my frustration when I was asked to write an introduction of myself in English in front of the whole class when I first came to Hong Kong. I was in primary three when my family moved from Foshan, China, to this cosmopolitan city. My English was terrible – at the age of eight, I still couldn’t memorize all the alphabets. I can still vividly remember the giggles of my classmates behind my back when I was struggling to write something sensible. I clenched the chalk in my pathetic, fragile fingers and beads of sweat were draining down my burning, crimson face. I was lost, claustrophobic and ashamed, and with the soothing words from my teacher I staggered back to my seat clumsily in shameful tears and awe. But it is from that day that I told myself I need to work hard; it is from that day that I understood the importance of persevering for excellence,; it is from that day I vowed – I will achieve phenomenal success and never be looked down upon again! This photo marks the turning page of my childhood – probably my life – and from then on, I studied extra hard to improve my English skills, and attained great improvements. Now, this photo acts as a reminder of the once frail and helpless girl I was, urging me to strive harder for myself and my family, to keep learning and persevering.
Transformation and Acceptance
This photo was taken when I was selected by my secondary school for a valuable chance of participating in an overseas exchange programme. See the chubby girl on the left with a huge grin? That is me. I have transformed from a shy girl to a cheerful, confident teenager. We took this photo when we were about to leave the ancient English school complex for the last time, with my English buddies as well as my other schoolmates. When we joined hands, I felt accepted and loved. I felt the blissful friendship that we cultivated together. I felt that my hard work to improve myself had paid off. I swept through their eyes – blue ones, brown ones, green ones and black ones – and I could see acceptance from their irises. No longer was I the outcast of his society, not even when I was staying overseas. I had transformed and I was accepted by this world. This photo captures the overwhelming moment of my epiphany, captures my brilliant smile and captures the sweet hope I held for a bright future. Every now and then I would lose myself staring at this picture, remembering the hopes I held, reminding myself that this world is a lovable place and with endeavours, we can achieve what we want.
