In 2006, local legend Mrs Elsie Tu was asked by Ming Pao newspaper to write essays on interesting subjects so that local young people could use them to practice their English. These essays and articles, which became a regular Monday feature column in Ming Pao, have been republished here for use by Hong Kong secondary school students, either in the classroom or just as extra reading to hear from someone who has a lot to say about, well, life: growing up, getting along in Hong Kong, friendship and right and wrong. Elsie Tu is one of Hong Kong's best-known educators and activists. She has been in the middle of Hong Kong history for more than fifty years. This book has a companion website with vocabulary, teachers' notes and other information.
