Borrison/hk-legicost huggingface dataset:
回看2019年的社會暴動，我們看到警方的統計數字，警方拘捕了10,148人，被捕者年齡介乎11至84歲，但未成年的人數多達17%，即是1,747人；參加暴動被捕學生的人數多達3,974人。
Looking back at the social riots of 2019 we can see from the Polices statistics that the Police arrested 10 148 people ranging from 11 to 84 in age but minors account for up to 17 % numbering 1 747 people . The number of students arrested for participation in riots was as high as 3 974
所以，令大家突然十分聚焦並感到香港教育出現問題，我亦收到很多很多家長的投訴。
That is why all of a sudden people put a lot of focus on the education of Hong Kong feeling that something has gone wrong with it . I have also received complaints from many many parents
尤其在這段抗疫期間，很多教師都非常辛勞，盡忠職守，利用不同的渠道來為學生上課。
In particular during the current fight against the pandemic many teachers are very hard - working and dedicated to their duties running lessons for students through different means such as online teaching
我個人也曾遇到很多非常優秀的老師，春風化雨。
Personally I have also met many excellent teachers who have nurtured my character
但是，在這段時間，我時常收到很多家長的投訴，認為有些教師出現問題。
Recently however I have received complaints from many parents that something is amiss with some teachers
所以，我們討論教育時，有時候也會收到一些意見，認為立法會不應針對教師，令教師感到極不受尊重。
That said sometimes while discussing education we receive comments that this Council should not take aim at teachers making them feel extremely disrespected
所以，我在此首先要重申，其實我們尊重好的教師；我們希望藉着辯論，可以令整個社會更着重教育，以及探討未來教育應要如何改革。
Therefore I would like to first reiterate here that we deeply respect good teachers . It is our hope that through debates the whole society can place more emphasis on education and explore how education should be reformed in the future
我們看到，在這段時間，就着我在原議案中提出的一些建議，其實教育局已對通識科進行一些改革。
We see that meanwhile the Education Bureau EDB has actually introduced some reforms to the LS subject in the light of some of the proposals I made in my original motion
我的原議案要求取消通識科為核心科目，無須高中學生必修必考。
My original motion calls for removing the LS subject as a core subject and abolishing it as a compulsory study and examination subject required of senior secondary students
教育局最新的改革是，保持該科目為必修必考，但公開考試只設及格和不及格，表示這樣會釋放考試壓力。
EDBs latest reform is to keep the subject compulsory for public assessment but only mark the public exam result as a pass or a fail so as to allegedly release examination pressure
主席，我仍然認為通識科未必需要是核心科目，也未必需要必修必考。
President I still do not consider it absolutely necessary for LS to be a core subject or be compulsory for public assessment
我認為，在這方面，隨着教育局的改革，我們也想再觀察，看看究竟能否達到教育局現在希望達到的目標，然後再作討論。
In my opinion while EDBs reform is in progress it is desirable for us to make further observation in this regard to see if EDBs current objective can be achieved before proceeding with our discussion
但是，就着時代的需要，其實通識科是否真的是現在最重要的核心科目，需要必修必考呢？
However as far as the needs of the times is concerned is LS really the currently most important core subject which has to be compulsory for public assessment?
我認為可以再作討論。
I think this can be further discussed
另外，針對通識科，我剛才也提到，很多家長認為時數太高，所以今次教育局也表示要重整和削減課程的內容，釋放空間予學生學習其他科目，此舉我是支持的。
In addition as I mentioned just now many parents consider the number of LS course hours too high and that is why this time round EDB has also indicated the intention to reorganize and reduce the curriculum content so as to free up space for students to learn other subjects which has my support
另外，獨立專題研究一直被批評為效果不佳，很多人認為通識科令學生"不是通識，而是通通都不識"，而批判性的思維、明辨是非方面，結果令很多學生當然不是每一位可能越來越偏激，只懂得批評、責罵和投訴，未必懂得如何明辨是非。
Moreover Independent Enquiry Study IES has always been criticized as ineffective . Many people hold that the LS subject has made students ignorant rather than knowledgeable and its content on critical thinking and distinction between right and wrong has possibly made many students―not all of them of course―more and more radical so much so that they resort to criticism finger - pointing and complaints not necessarily knowing how to distinguish between right and wrong
所以，其實我也支持取消獨立專題研究。
Therefore actually I also support the removal of IES
這些內容原本便應有，現在再加強，我認為是非常重要的。
I think it is very important that these supposedly existent elements are now being strengthened
此外，提供到內地考察的機會，以及審批教科書，我認為均是非常好的改動，但是否足夠呢？
Moreover in my view the provision of Mainland study opportunities and the review of textbooks are very good changes but are they sufficient?
我認為政府要回答家長3項很大的問題。
I hold that the Government has to answer three broad questions from parents
我再重申，香港有很多很好的教師，但在這段時間有很多教師的言行令人失望，令到很多家長非常擔心。
Let me reiterate that there are many very good teachers in Hong Kong but the disappointing behaviour of many teachers during this period has made many parents very worried
校園裏有教師牽頭欺凌警員的子女，我們亦看到有些教師利用教學，尤其是校本教材，向學生灌輸自己的一些政治思想，甚至帶領學生參加一些違法活動。
In schools there were teachers taking the lead to bully the children of police officers . We have also seen some teachers make use of teaching activities and particularly school - based teaching materials to instil their own political ideas into students and even lead them to participate in some illegal activities
所以我認為，在改革整個通識科的時候，教育局要回應社會和家長的訴求，表示在師資和師德的培養上打算怎樣做，讓家長和社會覺得安心。
Therefore in my opinion when undertaking the total reform of the LS subject EDB should respond to the aspirations of the community and parents by indicating what it intends to do about the development of teachers qualifications and ethics so that parents and the community can feel at ease
此外，在教材方面，現時已經有改進，對課程作出審批，這是非常重要的，我們當然十分支持。
As regards teaching materials there is now improvement with the review of curriculum which is very important and certainly has our full support
在校本教材方面，我們已討論良久。
We have been discussing school - based teaching materials for a long time
我知道教育局剛剛在本月23日向全港中小學及幼稚園發出"學校選用優質課本和學與教資源"的通函，要求學校設立校本評審機制，以及要求管理層監察教師的教材應用。
I know that EDB just issued a circular on Selection of Quality Textbooks and Learning and Teaching Resources for Use in Schools to all secondary schools primary schools and kindergartens in Hong Kong on the 23 of this month requesting schools to set up a review mechanism for school - based teaching materials and asking the management to monitor the use of teaching materials by teachers
當局亦新增了有關的評選準則，包括必須培養學生的正面價值觀及態度，內容必須客觀持平。
Besides additional criteria for the selection have been introduced including the need to nurture students positive values and attitude and the need for objective and impartial contents
對於教育局終於回應我的訴求，提出需要進一步監察校本教材，以及有足夠的指引，我亦表示支持，但最重要是如何落實執行。
Finally in response to my request EDB has suggested the need to further monitor school - based teaching materials and provide adequate guidelines . I express support for its suggestion but what matters most is how to implement it
在這方面，我希望教育局未來可以向我們提供更多詳細資料，指出當局打算如何落實執行，相信這方面亦會有好的改進。
In this regard I hope that EDB will provide us with more detailed information in the future to indicate how it intends to implement the requirements and I believe that there will be improvement in this respect
關於考試和出題，教育局現時仍然說通識科要必修必考，考試也依然要及格，但考試和出題方面的準則如何？
Regarding examination and question setting EDB is still saying that the LS subject should be compulsory for public assessment and a pass in examination is still required but what are the criteria for examination and question setting?
最近考試出題出現了問題，令人十分擔心。在這方面，我相信政府亦需要提供更多詳細資料，向家長及市民大眾解說在考試和出題方面如何可以做到好好的把關。
With the recent problems with the setting of examination questions which are highly worrying I believe that the Government also needs to provide parents and the general public with more detailed information on how to do proper gatekeeping in examination and question setting
香港考試及評核局是否需要改革，我覺得是另一個我們需要詳細討論的議題。
Whether the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority needs reform is another issue that in my opinion we need to discuss in detail
我們最着重的，當然是學生在整個教育過程中，如何學習到正面的價值觀、國民身份認同、對國家的認識。
What we attach most importance to is certainly how students learn positive values foster a sense of national identity and understand our country throughout the education process
我覺得這方面還需要大量工夫，但最重要的仍然是師資。
I believe that much work is still needed in this area but what matters most are still teacher qualifications
如果教師在這方面還是扭曲價值觀、對國民身份不認同、對國家不認識的話，試問他們又如何通過課程教導學生？
If teachers still distort values and have neither sense of national identity nor understanding of the country how can they teach students through the curriculum?
所以，主席，我現時最憂慮的就是師資的問題。
Therefore President what I am most concerned about now is the issue of teacher qualifications
主席，現今是一個科技創造未來的年代，互聯網上的信息泛濫嚴重，但亦充滿了知識。
President the present era is one in which technology is shaping the future . The Internet is flooded with information but it is also full of knowledge
今天的教育其實要教授甚麼？
What is actually being taught in todays education?
很多家長有時候 會對我們說，如果要學習知識，網上甚麼知識都有；如果要學習反應、運算、推演，其實人工智能比人類更快、更聰明。
Many parents sometimes tell us that whatever knowledge is available on the Internet for us to acquire if we wish to . When it comes to learning about reaction calculation and projection artificial intelligence AI is actually faster and smarter than humans
學生要學習甚麼？
What should students learn?
我之前多次在立法會提出，我覺得今時今日的必修科應該學習善用科技，學習電腦互聯網的語言、編程及人工智能。
Previously I have expressed my view multiple times in this Council that todays compulsory subjects should be about how to make the best use of technology such as learning computer languages for the Internet coding and AI
今時今日，我覺得這是我們更加需要思考的。
Nowadays I think this is even more deserving of our contemplation
因為我們曾經走歪路，今天更需要重回正軌、走回正路的時間，我會想其實教育要教授甚麼？
As we have taken a wrong path before it is all the more necessary for us to get back on the right track today . When we are back on the right track I will contemplate this question what exactly should we teach in education?
主席，我覺得最重要是教導學生怎樣做人，做一個有智慧、有修養、有能力、有良心的人。
President in my view it is most important to teach students how to behave as wise educated capable and conscientious people
北宋大家張載的名言，說教育是"為天地立心，為生民立命，為往聖繼絕學，為萬世開太平"。
In the famous words of ZHANG Zai of the Northern Song Dynasty education is to ordain conscience for Heaven and Earth to secure life and fortune for the people to continue lost teachings for past sages and to establish peace for all future generations
我覺得就此我們要重新思考，在整個香港教育，無論是通識科還是其他科目，我們要培養香港未來的人才走向哪個方向？
I think we need to rethink which direction we should take in nurturing Hong Kongs future talent in education whether with respect to LS or other subjects
主席，香港今天由亂入治，是時候重新面對教育的問題，重新檢視香港的教育，為香港和國家培養新一代的人才。
President as Hong Kong is moving from chaos to governance it is time to face up to the issue of education again re - examine education in Hong Kong and nurture a new generation of talent for Hong Kong and the country
代理主席，首先要感謝劉業強議員提出"制訂全面鄉郊發展政策"的議案，讓我們可在此作出全面的討論。
Deputy President I would first of all like to thank Mr Kenneth LAU for moving the motion on Formulating a comprehensive rural development policy so that we may have a thorough discussion of the subject here
我會支持劉業強議員的議案及何俊賢議員的修正案。
I will give my support to Mr Kenneth LAUs motion and Mr Steven HOs amendment
代理主席，我對鄉郊有深厚感情，因我是在鄉郊生活和長大。
Deputy President I have a deep affection for rural areas because I am living at and grew up in the countryside
鄉郊一直予人郊外地方的感覺，建有一些鄉村，綠草如茵，古木參天，房屋簡陋古樸。
Rural areas have always given people the impression of countryside in which we can find villages green pastures old trees that reach into the skies and houses of primitive simplicity
城市人一般僅視鄉郊為遊覽地方，沒有其他特別想法。
Urbanites generally regard rural areas as places where they can tour around and there is no special thought other than this
然而，自數十年前開始，政府在鄉郊覓地建設新市鎮，首先是荃灣，接着是沙田、屯門，以至天水圍、葵青等地。
However the Government started to look for potential sites in rural areas for developing new towns decades ago first in Tsuen Wan and then in Sha Tin Tuen Mun and even Tin Shui Wai Kwai Tsing etc
如果問鄉村居民的意見，他們一定反對政府進行這種過度發展，導致土地荒廢，破壞生態。
If rural residents were asked to express their views they would definitely object to this sort of excessive developments undertaken by the Government because this has led to desolation of land and ecological destruction
舉例來說，當年發展天水圍時，有面積達400多公頃的魚塘被填平，然後在上興建樓宇。
For example when Tin Shui Wai was identified for development back then fishponds with an area of more than 400 hectares were filled up to create land for housing construction
其後，港英政府發現生態遭到嚴重破壞，美麗漁村變成高樓大廈，人口密集，於是便在1995年作出補償，在當時已遭破壞的天水圍搞了一項所謂濕地政策，設立拉姆薩爾濕地，以彌補所造成的破壞。
The British Hong Kong Government subsequently realized that with beautiful fishing villages turning into densely populated high - rise buildings this has caused serious ecological destruction . It thus tried to make up for the loss in 1995 by formulating a so - called wetland conservation policy in Tin Shui Wai when the ecology of which has actually been destroyed . Under the policy a Ramsar site was designated to make up for the damage done
所以，我認為在管治層面上應多加一層管治架構，設立新界政務專員一職。
I am therefore of the view that one more level of administration should be included in the governance structure by creating a new post of Director of New Territories Administration
這是英國人的殖民地思維，不是特區政府現時應做的事情。
This is the mindset adopted in the past by the British colonial administration but the SAR Government should never follow suit
第三，我認為政府應成立劉業強議員提出的鄉郊發展及建設基金，涵蓋保育及文化傳承事宜，藉以支撐政策的推行，這樣才能確保鄉郊發展與城市看齊，避免鄉郊與城市之間的矛盾再次發生。
Thirdly in order to support policy implementation I think the Government should pursue the proposal of Mr Kenneth LAU and set up a rural development and construction fund which covers nature conservation and cultural heritage . Only by doing so can it ensure that rural development will be made on a par with urban development thus preventing the recurrence of conflicts between rural and urban areas
希望兩位局長能在這方面協助新界人改善目前的困境。
I hope the two Bureau Directors will deal with the matter from this perspective and help relieve the current plight of the people in the New Territories
自2009年起，政府將通識教育科列為4個核心科目之一。
Since 2009 the Government has included the subject of Liberal Studies LS as one of the four core subjects
香港正在發生甚麼事呢？
What is happening in Hong Kong?
香港是中國的地方，我們都是中國人，很多人也是從國內走難來港的。
Hong Kong is part of China and we are all Chinese people . Many people fled from the Mainland to Hong Kong back then
如果他們有能力，便叫他們出來參選議員。
If they are so competent they should be asked to run in the Legislative Council elections
主席，《基本法》第七十五條訂明："立法會議事規則由立法會自行制定"。
President Article 75 of the Basic Law stipulates that the Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Council shall be made by the Council on its own
所以，《議事規則》可說是立法會的家規，目的是規管立法會議員在參加會議時的權利、操守及行為準則，令會議能夠順利進行，議員可以代表其業界及市民暢所欲言。
For that reason it can be said that the Rules of Procedure are the house rules of the Legislative Council . They aim at regulating the rights probity and code of conduct of Members when attending the meetings of the Legislative Council so as to allow the meetings to be conducted without a hitch and Members to speak their mind freely on behalf of their sectors and constituencies
《議事規則》的藍本源於1997年回歸前香港立法機關的《會議常規》。《會議常規》是一套源自英國國會的制度，包括一系列的慣例、先例及傳統。
The blueprints of the Rules of Procedure were adopted from the Standing Orders of the pre - 1997 Hong Kong Legislature while the Standing Orders were modelled on the common practice precedence and convention of the Parliament of the United Kingdom
又或是當立法會的運作出現問題的時候，導致有議員因此不能履行職能的時候，立法會議事規則委員會便有責任檢討正在實施的《議事規則》是否不合時宜，以保障立法會所有議員可以履行《基本法》所訂明的職能。
For that reason as long as there are valid justifications the Rules of Procedure can be amended; or in case a problem concerning the operation of the Legislative Council has emerged thereby preventing a Member from exercising his functions the Committee on Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Council is duty - bound to review if the Rules of Procedure in force fit the current situation in order to guarantee all the Members of the Legislative Council may fulfil their functions as stipulated by the Basic Law
回歸後10多年，立法會的整體運作尚算順利，議員比較自律，即使有不同觀點和立場，有激烈的辯論，都希望通過辯論以理服人，衣着亦比較莊重、得體，整個立法會予人的感覺是有尊嚴、理性及有水平。
More than a decade after Hong Kongs reunification with the country the overall operation of the Legislative Council had been smooth as Members then were generally self - disciplined . Even there were dissenting views different standpoints and heated debates; Members would try to convince the others by reasons in debates . Members were generally decently attired thus the then Legislative Council as a whole gave the public an overall impression of dignity rationality and a certain level of capability
正如葉劉淑儀議員剛才提到2012年5月，泛民議員發動了"拉布"戰，黃毓民及陳偉業就《2012年立法會條例草案》提交了共1,306項修正案，發動了冗長的辯論，要求點算法定人數造成了多次流會。
As Mrs Regina IP said just now Members from the pan - democratic camp started a filibuster in May 2012 WONG Yuk - man and Albert CHAN proposed a total of 1 306 amendments to the Legislative Council Amendment Bill 2012 and initiated a lengthy debate on the amendments . The numerous quorum calls had resulted in a large number of aborted meetings
最後，該項辯論歷時100小時23分鐘。
At the end the debates took 100 hours and 23 minutes to conclude
自此之後，立法會會議的"拉布"、冗長辯論、不停點名製造流會等情況已成為常態；隨後，"拉布"的風氣蔓延至財務委員會及轄下的小組委員會，例如工務小組委員會，導致很多工程撥款遲遲未能批出，影響香港經濟。
Since then filibusters in the Legislative Council lengthy debates and aborted meetings due to ceaseless calls for quorum had become the norm . The use of filibusters had subsequently spread to the Finance Committee and its subcommittees such as the Public Works Subcommittee which had stalled the process of approving the funding requests of many works projects and thus affected Hong Kongs economy
在此之前，我們曾經耻笑台灣的立法院出現全武行，認為台灣的議政水平差，只會表演，不是解決問題的地方。
We used to mock the scuffles in the Legislative Yuan of Taiwan and criticized that the standards of policy discussion in Taiwan was rather poor as Taiwans lawmakers only knew how to put on a show and its legislative body was not aimed at solving problems
但近年，香港亦開始學習台灣，立法會成為了政治鬥爭的主要舞台。
But in recent years Hong Kong started to imitate Taiwans practice thus the Legislative Council has become the main stage for political struggles
每當一些議題有機會令政府得分或與內地政策及撥款有關，反對派就會利用《議事規則》 的灰色地帶，通過大小不同的會議，拖延會議的進行，以似是而非的歪理設法令法案失效，公共開支不能按時批出，甚至以肢體衝撞的方式影響會議的正常進行，影響如我們想正常開會議員的工作安排。
Whenever the Government is likely to get the credit from a topic of discussion or the funding application or policy is relevant to the Mainland the opposition camp will make use of the grey area of the Rules of Procedure to delay the process of various meetings . They would make paradoxical arguments with a view to sabotaging the relevant bills and preventing the funding from being allocated on time . They would even resort to physical confrontations to prevent the normal processing of meetings and affect the normal work schedule of those Members who wish to conduct meetings in a normal fashion
2019年出現了修例風波，為了阻止成立法案委員會，反對派開始變種成為"攬炒派"，他們利用《議事規則》拖延內務委員會主席選舉，令內務委員會癱瘓了整整7個月，提交予立法會的所有法案都未能進入審議，令立法會運作差不多停擺。
In 2019 there were disturbances caused by the opposition to the relevant proposed legislative amendments . In order to prevent the setting up of a Bills Committee the opposition camp started to be part of the mutual destruction camp . They made use of the Rules of Procedure to stall the election of the House Committee Chairman with a view to paralysing the operation of the House Committee for a total of seven months
今次《議事規則》的修訂是因應立法會過去近10年出現的亂象，作出一次比較全面的梳理，逐一進行修訂，以確保立法會未來能夠暢順履行其職能。
All the Bills submitted to the Legislative Council were unable to be processed which had almost caused a shutdown of the Legislative Council . The objective of amending the Rules of Procedure this time around is to clear once and for all the chaos seen over the past decade in the Legislative Council piece by piece so as to enable the Legislative Council to smoothly execute its functions in future
第一次暫停職務是1星期，第四次暫停職務會增加至8星期。
The duration of the suspension on the first occasion is one week and the duration of the suspension on the fourth occasion is eight weeks
我在看過有關資料後，個人認為罰則比較嚴厲，在諮詢期間，我的意見是重犯期間停職罰則無需加碼，即是每一次停職都是1星期，重犯也是1星期，這樣其實已達到警戒效果。
After reading the relevant information I personally considered that the penalties were somewhat too harsh . During the consultation period I was of the view that the penalties for any subsequent occasion should not be increased progressively . That is to say each suspension period should only be one week and any repeated offence should only be penalized for a one - week suspension because I considered the deterrent effect adequate
當然，後來議事規則委員會參考了英國及其他海外立法機關的經驗，而且諮詢了其他議員的意見，最後，我亦同意用累進式的罰則，所以，最後我同意支持所有相關的修訂。
Of course the Committee on Rules of Procedure has subsequently taken reference of the experience of the United Kingdom and other overseas legislatures and consulted other Members . Eventually I also agreed with the progressive penalty system . For that reason I finally agree to support all of the amendments
今次《議事規則》的修訂較能保障立法會議員執行權責及履行權利，除非議員無理地干預會議進行，否則，議員的權利根本沒有受影響。
The amendments to the Rules of Procedure this time around can offer greater protection to Members of the Legislative Council when they carry out their duties and fulfil their rights . Unless Members are interfering with the proceeding of a meeting without any good reason otherwise their rights will not be affected
隨着人大的決定進一步得到落實，我相信立法會的亂象不會再發生，香港的政治、經濟和民生將重回正軌，香港昔日的光輝必定重現。
Following the further implementation of the decision of the National Peoples Congress I believe that the chaos seen in the Legislative Council will not reappear . Hong Kongs politics economy and the livelihood of the people will get back on the right track and the glory of Hong Kong in the old days will re - emerge once again
主席，我謹此陳辭，支持對《議事規則》進行修訂的議案。
With these remarks President I support the motion on amending the Rules of Procedure
主席，我支持"制訂全面鄉郊發展政策"的原議案和修正案。
President I support the original motion Formulating a comprehensive rural development policy and its amendment
各議案提到希望通過發展旅遊業提振鄉郊經濟，其實這是一個不錯的切入點，我近幾年都有類似的提議。
Both of them have expressed the hope of boosting the rural economy through the development of tourism which actually is quite a desirable point for starting our discussion . I myself have also made similar proposals in recent years
我提出要做好配套設施，多開發一些本地旅遊資源，以帶動當區經濟及分流傳統旺區的壓力。
I have proposed that ancillary facilities should be properly put in place and more local tourism resources should be developed so as to stimulate the economy of the relevant districts and divert the pressure on the traditionally popular tourist areas
過去一年，政府先後兩次開放本地遊和推出一次"賞你遊香港"活動，它們均得到市民的歡迎。
Over the past year the Government has approved resumption of local tours twice and launched the Free Tour programme once all of which have been welcomed by the public
由於參與的市民多了，他們對本地遊的線路認識加深，會更關注和喜歡有特色的鄉郊景點。
With more people having joined the local tours and got familiar with the itineraries special rural attractions will attract more attention and interest from people
事實上，香港不少景點所以能夠成功，最先也是由本地需求帶動，例如離島、海灘、新界名勝古蹟等。
In fact the success of a number of Hong Kong tourist attractions say the outlying islands the beaches the scenic spots and historic monuments in the New Territories was initially driven by local demand
另一方面，隨着內地逐步推行免稅政策，香港以購物為主要賣點的話，吸引力將越來越小，旅客尤其是曾訪港的旅客會傾向發掘有特色的深度遊，包括遊覽鄉郊景點。
On the other hand with the gradual implementation of the duty - free policy in the Mainland Hong Kongs appeal will be fading if shopping remains our main selling point . Tourists especially those who have visited Hong Kong are more inclined to find some in - depth local tours with unique characteristics such as visiting attractions in the rural areas
未來將有更多境外旅客會因應香港的宣傳，以及我們鄉郊完善的配套、鄉郊景點知名度的提升而調整來港遊覽的目的。
In the future more overseas tourists will adjust the purpose of their visits to Hong Kong in response to our publicity efforts the improvement in our supporting facilities in the rural areas and the enhanced popularity of our rural attractions
我希望政府能改善鄉郊旅遊配套不足的問題。
I hope that the Government can address the problem of insufficient rural tourism supporting facilities
香港的鄉郊除了有優美的自然風光和古蹟外，亦有新界文化、傳統習俗及非物質文化遺產，但這些都為旅客所忽略。
Picturesque natural landscape and historic monuments aside Hong Kongs rural areas also have the New Territories culture traditional customs and intangible cultural heritage ICH to offer but these have simply been overlooked by tourists
隨着市民和旅客對景點要求的改變，我希望政府能根據鄉郊景點和非遺的實際情況，進一步豐富香港的旅遊資源。
As what the public and tourists look for from attractions has changed I hope that the Government can further enrich the tourism resources in Hong Kong according to the actual condition of the rural attractions and ICH
