喺香港嘅校園生活好大壓力. 每日學生都要做好多功課.

The school life in Hong Kong is very stressful. Students have loads of homework to do everyday.
如果佢哋唔做,老師會鬧佢哋. 而且屋企人都會畀壓力學生, 因為除非佢哋有好成績, 否則就唔可以入大學.

If they don’t, the teacher will scold them. Moreover, family members will put pressure on students because they will not go to university unless they have good results.
所以好多學生都覺得唔開心. 有啲人甚至自殺.
so2 ji5 hou2 do1 hok6 sang1 dou1 gok3 dak1 m4 hoi1 sam1. jau5 di1 jan4 sam6 zi3 zi6 saat3.
That’s why many students feel unhappy. Some of them even commit suicide.
香港嘅學校好嚴格. 真係 有好多規矩.
hoeng1 gong2 ge3 hok6 haau6 hou2 jim4 gaak3. zan1 hai6 jau5 hou2 do1 kwai1 geoi2.
Hong Kong schools are very strict. They really have a lot of rules.
一般學生唔可以用手提電話, 化妝, 拍拖同埋一定要著校服. 朝頭早都有早會.
jat1 bun1 hok6 sang1 m4 ho2 ji5 jung6 sau2 tai4 din6 waa6*2, faa3 zong1, paak3 to1 tung4 maai4 jat1 ding6 jiu3 zoek3 haau6 fuk6. ziu1 tau4 zou2 dou1 jau5 zou2 wui6*2.
Generally, students cannot use mobile phones, wear make up nor date, and they must wear a uniform. In the morning, there will be a morning assembly.
即係祈禱, 宣佈, 或者唱校歌. 早會之後課堂會開始.
zik1 hai6 kei4 tou2, syun1 bou3, waak6 ze2 coeng3 haau6 go1. zou2 wui6*2 zi1 hau6 fo3 tong4 wui5 hoi1 ci2.
(This is) to pray, make announcements or sing the school song. After the morning assembly lessons will start.
學科就分開為文科同埋理科. 文科包括歷史地理同埋經濟.
hok6 fo1 zau6 fan1 hoi1 wai4 man4 fo1 tung4 maai4 lei5 fo1. man4 fo1 baau1 kut3 lik6 si2 dei6 lei5 tung4 maai4 ging1 zai3.
Subjects are divided into arts and science stream. Arts stream includes history, geography and economics.
理科包括數學, 物理, 化學, 生物學同埋會計. 學期尾就會考試.
lei5 fo1 baau1 kut3 sou3 hok6, mat6 lei5, faa3 hok6, sang1 mat6 tung4 maai4 wui6 gai3. hok6 kei4 mei5 zau6 wui5 haau2 si5.
Science stream includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and accounting. In the end of the school term they need to do the exams.
喺學校有其中一啲人我真係唔鍾意嘅,就係風紀. 佢哋嘅職責就係維持紀律.

There are some people at school who I really don’t like: prefects. Their job is to keep the discipline.
佢哋認為呢個工作 非常之重要, 但係我唔同意.其實係好無聊.
keoi5 dei6 jing6 wai4 ni1 go3 gung1 zok3 fei1 soeng4 zi1 zung6 jiu3, daan6 hai6 ngo5 m4 tung4 ji3. kei4 sat6 hai6 hou2 mou4 liu4.
They believe this job is very important, but I don’t agree. Actually, I think that’s nonsense.
如果係小息我喺小食部食緊吞拿魚手卷, 一個風紀就會催我 “快啲啦!冇時間”.
jyu4 gwo2 hai6 siu2 sik1 ngo5 hai2 siu2 sik6 bou6 sik6 gan2 tan1 naa4 jyu4*2 sau2 gyun2, jat1 go3 fung1 gei2 zau6 wui5 ceoi1 ngo5 “faai3 di1 laa1! mou5 si4 gaan3.”
If during the recess I am in the tuck shop eating tuna fish hand roll, one prefect will urge me “ Be quick! There’s no time”.
或者我喺課室入邊同朋友傾偈, 佢哋都會叫我 “請安靜!” .
waak6 ze2 ngo5 hai2 fo3 sat1 jap6 bin6 tung4 pang4 jau5 king1 gai2, keoi5 dei6 dou1 wui5 giu3 ngo5 “ceng2 on1 zing6!”
Or (if) I am at the classroom talking to my friends, they will tell me “Please keep quiet!”
所以我唔鍾意風紀. 放學學生一係會去圖書館做功課 一係返屋企休息.

That’s why I don’t like prefects. After school, students will either go to the library to do the homework or back home to take a rest.

班長 means class prefect and 風紀 is the kind of prefect who is in the corridors, in the canteen etc…
