In this fieldtrip, I thought everyone of us have a great day~ We are not just stay in the classmates and listen for the teachers, but also went outside. After this fieldtrip, I had been more clear about the concept of economics. Beside I was enjoyed the time that interview with the local people of Lammap.17 Island, they are very nice.

In this trip, it provides lots of chances for me to study. I have better understanding of economic concepts. For example, there have some farmland in Lamma Island which can strengthen the understanding of primary production for me. Moreover, there have many shops are sole proprietorship such as Bean Curd Pudding. In short, this is a wonderful trip. It not only provides chances for us to study, but also make me feel fun.

In this fieldtrip, I got how the daily use of the economics concept. In the Lamma Island, we can find that most of the citizens who live in Lamma Island are in business. The Lamma Island like a mini society in Hong Kong. They live in an island. They should get the daily material in the island. Therefore, they create a lot of families business on the island to satisfy the citizens wants.

After this economic project.I knew what the economic development, how to development of Lamma Island. After the trip of the CORD day, we also knew the Economic is how surrounding us! And we experience a nature with classmates !

It ’ s interesting that the whole form four students could group together and went to Lamma Inland and do our explore trip. It was my first time to go to Lamma Inland. We can only learn more and have a deeply knowledge about economics concept outside the classroom, but also enjoy a day with shiny sun. Although Lamma Inland is not a large place, we can found there were a lots of economics idea around this small inland such public goods, free goods, etc. After this trip, I realize that we can learn economic concept through different ways such as this explore trip, not just from the academic book.

Lamma Island is located to the southwest of Hong Kong Island. Lamma provides an alternative to the hectic life in the city. Property and rents are cheap compared with those of central Hong Kong. I think the reasons why it can attract many foreigners to live in there are the views are beautiful and they feel leisurely and carefree,Hong Kong Island Hung Shing Yeh Beach, Lamma Power Station and Lamma Winds are the popular attraction in Lamma Island. The beach is very beautiful and the sand is fine. When we reach Lamma Power Station, I can see a big pile of coal there. Some coal will follow the wind and fly away. I think it will cause air pollution. Besides, we go to the Lamma Winds. I think it is a great construction because the wind in there is very strong. It can make the Lamma Winds work better. Wind energy is a renewable energy. It can reduce the pollution and the damage of natural environment.Hung Shing Yeh BeachLamma Power StationLamma Winds The fieldtrip on Lamma Island is meaningful and joyful. I hope we can have more fieldtrip.
