questions.
Toby
My favourite place is
Hong Kong. I love it. It’s
so beautiful – it’s on
the sea, with
mountains all around
and it’s full of shops
and high buildings.
Hong Kong never
sleeps – it’s always
busy and always
crowded. Some people
don’t like that but I do.
It means you can
always do things and
meet people. And at
weekends you can go
to the mountains and
visit the country parks
or the beaches on the
small islands. Hong
Kong is great – a big,
fast city and lovely,
quiet country … but it’s
very, very hot.
Anys
My favourite place? I
don’t know. I like lots
of things in lots of
places. There are the
waterfalls in Zimbabwe
– Victoria Falls. They’re

Mitra
The place I like most is
New Zealand – it really
is beautiful. It’s very
green, has lots of
mountains and snow
and beaches, and the
weather is good too.
The people are friendly
and the country isn’t
crowded. That’s what I
like – lots of big, empty
spaces. You can eat
well in New Zealand
too – lots of fish and
meat. And there’s so
much to do there. You
can go sailing, walking,
skiing, surfing,
swimming – all in one
day if you want! And
the wild animals are
fantastic, especially the
sea animals like the
whales.
Nicholas

like best – it’s where I
live. It isn’t beautiful, it
isn’t exciting, there
