They make toys in his workshop, take care of his reindeer and sleigh, and read the letters sent by children.   🦌 紅鼻子馴鹿魯道夫 Rudolph is a fictional reindeer with a glowing red nose, who was ridiculed by other reindeers, but eventually, helped illuminate the team's path through harsh winter with the brightness of his nose.  ⛄️ 雪人 Frosty In the famous song, a snowman, Frosty, magically came to life and brought joy to the local children. With the sun at its peak, he melted, but he told the kids not to be sad and that he’d come back again.  🎁 小氣財神史古基 In the novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Scrooge was a greedy man; he despised Christmas, and the people were scared of him. However, after being visited by three Christmas Spirits, he transformed into a better person.   🥁 小小鼓手 In this famous Christmas song, the lyrics portrayed how a poor boy, with no gift to give to Jesus, played the drum for him. And, in return, received a smile from him. It reminds us that as long as we have Jesus in our hearts, it’s okay not having money or gifts to celebrate during this season.   Merry Christmas week!! ❤️❤️

In case you didn't know, the whole @mulan drama has started since last August. (中文請睇第一個留言) (updated images are in Highlights) . The pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong has already lasted for more than 9 months and is showing no signs of stopping. Last year, the city once mobilized 2 million (nearly a third of the city's population) citizens to take over the streets. Attempting to solve the political crisis, the Government relies on the riot police to oppress the dissidents violently. The justification of such actions is still up for debate: legitimate tactics, police brutality or a rapid rise of authoritarianism? . Responding to the matter, the Chinese-born actress Liu Yifei posted the following on her official Weibo account last August: "I support the Hong Kong police. You can all attack me now. What a shame for Hong Kong". The hashtag #BoycottMulan became trending on Twitter immediately. Users accused the actress of supporting police brutality and pointed out the fact that she's an American citizen. . So what's the fuss? Mulan is a legendary/fictional female warrior from the Northern and Southern dynasties period of Chinese history. Mulan has long been seen as a symbol of courage, heroine and rebellion. Yes, Mulan defied the rules. She came forward to serve in the army in her father's place. She disguised herself as a man because she believed sending her ill father to the battlefield was unjust. Nerve wracking it is to see how the symbol is distorted having one of the most well-known rebels in Chinese culture portrayed by Liu. . #boycottmulan #mulan #standwithhongkong #fightforfreedom #香港人 #黃色經濟圈 #colourpop

Green with envy? . Language Enhancement: Deceased (adj.)(去世的) 同學在填寫個人資料時有機會在表格上看見此字，它是 dead 的委婉版本，相當於中文的「已去世的」。此外，法律界和正式場合一般不會以 the dead person/people 稱呼死者（尤其是不久前離世的人士），而是使用 the deceased，單眾數型態相同。 e.g. In this fictional crime scenario, it seems that the deceased shot another victim before taking his own life. e.g. Danielle sends her condolences to her deceased relatives overseas. ————————————————— 想每日睇新聞🗞，學英文📚🔠？ 快啲 follow @k.e.n.joy 及 bookmark ————————————————— #english #news #englishinnews #newsoftheday #language #enhancement #dse #kennethlau #kenjoy #英文 #時事英文熱點 #2019dse #2020dse #2021dse #dsefighter #dseenglish #dse2019 #dsefighter #2019dsefighter #2020dsefighter #dseeng #hkdse #hkdseenglish #20190524
