Question 2.1 : doll hospital

Part A : Group Interaction :

* Why?

1.      Because some adults or kids
want to fix their own memorable toys instead of buying a new toy. (e.g. some
toys like teddy bears or dolls have their own stories cannot replace by new toy
/ limited edition) therefore they want to fix their old toy

2.      Environmentally friendly:
because some people do not want to waste their old toys (e.g. the doll broke
its arm and it looks alright , just need to fix its arm then it looks new. ) Therefore
, some people don’t want to waste and save the Earth .

**\*TIPS : Topic Sentence ->**
explanation+ examples -> short conclusion)

**Usually think about environmentally friendly**
; save energy / the Earth ; have what benefits ? such as money etc)

* Would be successful ?
* Ans : No

Because Hong Kong shops’ rent
is really high . But fix the dolls only can have a bit profit which is not
enough to cover the high rent ( expenses> income)

Because the demand of fixing
dolls is fewer than before. Nowadays , people mostly prefer play electronic
gadgets such as x box , mobile phones , computers more than dolls or toys. Electronic
gadgets are more attractive and eye catching the dolls because those gadgets ‘
vision effects are colorful and high tec.

* Ans; Yes

1.      Because Hong Kong has a few doll hospitals->
therefore it is a professional , still have its market to develop

(e.g. doll hospitals can provide
professional services like knitting the dolls /the market of this area not yet
full) -> seems drugstores)

2.  People
love to recall the past like they want to find more old dolls or bears in
different century or produced in old days / different countries . So, they will
need the doll hospitals ‘ services to renew the old toy .

**\***
TIPS : think two sides ! And , give details . because you need to reply others/
comment .

* Marketed :

* Marketing has 4 principals : 4P :

price ,promotion , product, place.
1.      Price : the doll hospitals should
lower the services price or give customers some discounts . which can attract
more people to use their service.

( e.g. fix one toy has 10% off , fix two
toys has 30% off )

2.      Promotion : The government should
encourage the doll hospitals and give some advertisements on television which
can let public know more about Hong Kong also has doll hospitals now.)

( The doll hospital should make some posters
and post in the community / make some coupons to put in different buildings ‘mailboxs.)

3.      Product : not applicable

4.      Place: Doll hospitals should place
in convenient places / central business district such as central , causeway bay
, Mong Kok .

Question 3.1 : own device

Part A : Group Interaction :

* Benefits:  1. Can decrease the

weight of school bags instead of bring a lot of heavy books (e.g. on 11th September,2016
, the DELM Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong did a research
of the Hong Kong primary students’ school bags’ weight in Shek Kip Mei, Cheung
Sha Wan, Mei Foo , it shows that there are 60% students’ school bags are
overweight. The average weights is 3.3 kg.)

2. Students can find or search data or information quickly in the
lessons

(e.g. the devices can search on wiki ,
google , yahoo etc , they can provide the latest information or news as soon as
possible which benefits to students’ learning)

3.environmentally friendly. Because we
just need one computer to input data and submit homework through internet
instead of using a lot of papers to print notes and do exercises.

**\* TIPS :Benefits must**
positive ; You can think benefits -> start with different stakeholders like
government , school , parents ,students , companies etc) ; must give some
examples to support your stands , with data or famous examples)

Problems:

Devices will affect the lessons
or learning.( devices have lots of attractiveness such as electronic games ,
movies .// Computers will have connection problems or out of operation.) ->
for primary students mostly lack of self-control.)

Some students may not afford
the fee of buying computer or mobile phone. (e.g Comprehensive Social Security
Assistance students/ low income families’ students cannot have extra money to
buy a computer which costs around $3000=5000 , nearly the amount of their daily
expenses)

The security problem : students
might easily lost their own devices such as mobile phones or computers. Which will
increase the workload of teachers or securities to find the lost.)

Appear the cheating problem in
the exam or assignment. Because students can search the answers through their
devices / use their mobile phones to take photos of textbooks.

**\*TIPS : examples for explain the problem details (**
like how to affect the lessons ?

* Prevent : 1. The school should prepare one or two computers for

prevent students ‘ computers’ technical problems.
2. The government or
school should provide some allowance for
poor students to buy devices // provide second hand computers to them.

3. the classroom or
corridor should erect cctv for finding the lost / easily to find who stole the
computer.

4. teachers should set
a policy while having exam or assignments , students must give out their
devices / put their devices nearby the corridor.

**\* TIPS : should related to the problem which you**
mentioned before.

 How to
prevent-> you can think with different stakeholders, who can solve the
problem and how to solve?) You should give details of the solutions

* Which subjects ?

IT subjects . because students
can apply the skills or knowledge of IT while teachers is teaching. / students
with their own devices can save the files or homework quickly rather than
sending email and need to do homework / try to apply or practice skills at home
and computer rooms. \* more convenient!

Liberal studies. Because we can
find news and information for our essay ‘s example to support our stands.//
also, we can watch some movies related to chapter like Today Hong Kong , we can
know more about the old Hong Kong accidents or culture -> H5N1 , Swine flu ,
SARS. To know more the reality and situations.

Science subjects. Because some
experiments are dangerous or need professional equipment to do. However , some
school not allowed to present those experiments . if students have their own
devices can watch those experiments’ videos and search more information at that
moment to strengthen the memories of those experiments and knowledge.

**\*TIPS : first, think your school subjects ->**
then to separate subjects into different types

**Then,**
think why those subjects need computer ? must give examples to explain the uses
of computer! )

**!!! remember eye contact J fighting !!!!!!**
