1. Which revolution does Hong Kong need?
Hong Kong doesn’t need any revolution. Not the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution or even the Cultural Revolution. Due to Hong Kong have no any strategy of the military. And if the Hong Kong people are going to Hong Kong people step up for protecting themselves, the PLAs will watch over us. Therefore the revolution is not a smart choice. Besides, the current discontentment of Hong Kong will not create big action at all. So we do not have to create any revolution.

2. What are five basic qualities that a good inventor might have?
Firstly, a good inventor might hard-working, patience and creative. As we can see from Thomas Edison, although the patent described several ways of creating the carbon filament including "cotton and linen thread, wood splints, papers coiled in various ways," it was not until several months after the patent was granted that Edison and his team discovered a carbonized bamboo filament could last over 1200 hours.
Then, an attentive heart is indeed. Like the experience of Isaac Newton discovered universal gravitation.
And finally here comes optimisic. A inventor should belive in themselves and keep on working on it. Or else, there are nothing going to be happaned.

Later, the British Government tightened its rule and it caused the discontent from the 13 Colonies. Secondly, Britain got cheap raw materials and a big market for her goods from the 13 Colonies. Yet she did not let them produce things that would compete with her goods. They wanted to trade freely and this caused the economic discontent. Lastly, after the Seven Years’ War, Britain kept an army in North America. The British government passed some acts so that the colonists had to pay for the cost of keeping this army. Finally the quarrel between the British and American over right to tax leads the American War of Independence.

The differences:
There are differences from the Colonial period of Hong Kong and United States. The United States from the start of European settlement and Hong Kong is launched by the United Kingdom and being the Colonial Hong Kong. To the politic states, United States is being independence but Hong Kong is under controlled by the United Kingdom government. And In 1938, Guangzhou fell to the hands of the Japanese, Hong Kong was considered a strategic military outpost for all trades in the far east, though Winston Churchill assured that Hong Kong was an "impregnable fortress". It was taken as a reality check response since the British Army actually stretched too thin to battle on two fronts. It also shows that Hong Kong is under protect of the United Kingdom Government.

reflections of ocean park----

I go to the Ocean Park on Friday. There are many games for us to play over there. Due to our time management, our group has not much time to play. I really want to ride the roller coaster but I give it up finally. To improve this, I think we can go to the upper side of the theme park for playing.
Besides, my most enjoy thing is go on the cable cars and see the gorgeous scenery. I can’t imagine that I can see such beautiful scenery in a theme park. And I am surprised that Franco gets a big teddy bear from a game stall! I think that is the best to see everyone have a smiling face on face.
