Adventure in the Future-The Greater Bay Area
PLK HKTA Yuen Yuen Primary School, Chui, Cheryl Ming Tung - 10
Chapter One, New Train
I am Shemanda and I got a dumb little sister named Shelly, both of us lived in Hong Kong.
On a beautiful sunny day, I was cozying on the sofa, watching the telly. I was on the babyish cartoon
channel as my sister told me to do so. My eyes were staring at my sister, hoped that she could change the
channel to another one.
At this hopeless and sad moment, mum called, “Shelly! Change the channel to news, NOW!”
Shelly changed the channel to the news immediately, but I knew that she did not want to.
“The train to the Greater Bay Area is now opened.” said the news reporter.
Mum asked us were we excited to get on the train, and we nod our heads. Mum told us she would
prepare for the trip. Was it too early to get ready?
Chapter Two, Leaving Home
I was really so upbeat cos’ we are going to take the train tomorrow! Woo Hoo! My mum kept on
asking me to pack my bag and I felt very annoyed. My sister and I were packing for a long trip, this is our
first time to go for a long trip. It was very late at night and I was lying on my bed. I was so nervous, I
couldn't sleep although I had to wake up at 10 in the morning which might be hard for me because I woke
up at 1 pm for normal. Mom asked me to do research on the Greater Bay Area and plan my route. The
truth was that I did the plan already on secretly as that was a secret I would not tell you.
It was the day that we got on our trains. Mum was driving me, Shemanda and my sister, Shelly to the
train station. I was just so excited, so excited, so excited.
The train station was a big building with graffiti designs on the walls, so this building was also named
“Graffiti Station”. I was so excited when I saw the graffiti outside but I was so disappointed when I got into
the station. The station just seems like a normal train station and I was just so disappointed.
At 2 pm, my bottom was finally glued to the seat on the train and finally, I could take a nap.
Chapter Three, Feet on Macau
The time now was 3:30 in the afternoon and I was at Macau. I would be staying in Macau for two days
and I will be on my second destination. I was staying in my friend’s home and I would leave tomorrow.
Now I was trying to get something to eat. I was just starving. I needed food, food! So I went on to a
restaurant. I popped into a restaurant and I sat down on the stool. I was hungry like a bear. I was trying to
find the perfect set. “Ohhhhhhhh, yes!” Guess what, I had a Wonton Noodles with more and more
Wonton. I stuffed them all into my mouth and “Ssssssuuuuuuu”, I finished all of my noodles. I paid for the
bill and ran out of the restaurant.
Guess where I would be, the biggest, highest shopping mall. Yay! The mall is 10 storeys high and there
were over 250 shops. So I started shopping from the first to the tenth and the tenth to the first. As this
procedure took too much time, I would skip this part. Now the time now was 8pm, I think I should go
back home. I was holding all of my bags and Ahh! I fell on the floor, I was like "What shall I do? What shall
I do? " I found out that I could not move my legs, it hurts when I moved it. I came up with something, I
should call my friend.
My friend came to me and sent me to the hospital. The doctor said that I had to stay in Macau before
I recovered. but
I stayed in Macau for about three months and now I'm recovered. Now I could get back to Hong
Kong.
"Bye, I will come back! ", I said to the buildings near the train station
