__**WHY DID WE CHOOSE THIS ISSUE ?**__

Emily wrote: I chose this because I felt that it was important that the children got the opportunity to learn a new language that is the main language of the world, as it will help them get jobs that have a bigger pay to support their family,because if they want to be a taxi driver they have to understand english for "left" and "right".

It also connects with the"equal opportunities" part of the the central idea.

I also feel that as almost over 70% of people in the world speak English,either as a second language or as their "mother tongue", English is a main language,as in if you go to a country and ask the taxi driver to turn off the air-con, they should understand you, and that is one of the reasons the taxi driver got his/her job in the fist place,because they could speak English so it is important to help people learn English so they can have their share of equal opportunities.

Lucia wrote: The reason I chose Teaching English for my project in the exhibition is because English is a main language, meaning almost all the countries in the world speak English, so if they grow up and they want to be a taxi driver or receptionist normally you have to be able to speak English. This will also give the children an advantage if they grow up and travel to Europe or Australia because nearly everybody there speaks English. That is the main reason that I chose Teaching English for the exhibition.

I first chose HKDR ( Hong Kong Dog Rescue ), but the voluntaries can only be people of 14 years old up, so it was a bad idea , I moved to Teaching English and my group members are Lucia , Emily and me. I chose Teaching English because is really useful in the life and in countries and places. Is also good to get a successful job knowing 2 languages but something I know is that in big companies like HSBC, and more they don't give you a job if you don't know English. I wanted to do this issue because people like me that their language of their country is not English, need to learn English. I was pretty inspired in that job, because I think my teachers did well in teaching me in English , so I would like to show the way they teach me and I want to know if it is really helpful or is just that I am in Hong Kong.
