I am doing a project on ‘Interesting places in Hong Kong’. I have planned to visit some tourist spots with my group members. We went to the Space Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui last Saturday. We watched a sky show about Space. It was interesting. We looked at the displays. We learned a lot about the Solar System. It was exciting. We will go to Hong Kong Wetland Park tomorrow. We will look at the plants and animals. We will enjoy the view of the nature, too. My father has already bought a camera for me. My mother has just ironed my PE clothes. I have already prepared a hat but I haven’t bought any bread for my lunch! Have you ever been to a tourist spot in Hong Kong? Where have you been? What did you do there? Where will you go this year? Have you prepared well? Love, Gary You are Jason. You got an email from your friend, Gary. He wrote about his school project. Read and reply to his email in about 80 words.
