Beggar interview

On 23rd of February, my group went to Yau Ma Tei and had an interview with the beggar.
Firstly I scared with the beggar, but after I had interview with her, I think I was wrong, I discovered that she is nice.The beggar is about
seventy years old, she has a son who is about fourty years old, she had a dalmatian in the past but it died, then her friend gave her a new dog, her dog is ferocious because when I wanted to film it, it barked at me.Her dog had a monkey doll in its back.
She lived under the bridge, but actually she had a house but it is far away from the bridge, she think lived under the bridge is convenient.Under the bridge, there were some boxes, they were used for selling and keeping things.
She said that she often had a headache and his son's right hand was hurt, but they didn't see a doctor because she think that there was crowded, and it is dangerous.
She think her life was
better than the other beggars because the volunteers and government will sent her money and food.
She think
most of the Hong Kong people are kind but her neighbor near her home were bad because they had a prejudice to her.
I think she is really kind because during the filming, our progress was slow and we had to stop and took the video again and she had no complain.Firstly we decided to gave her
some money, but we think it is mannerless to gave her money, so we bought some cakes and water to her.
on 23rd of February, we went to Yau Ma Tei and take different beggars,I think it was quite dangerous because we need to run after the beggars across the street and traffic lights, we also can't let them knew that we were filming them and we only could filming the back of them.
I think having interview with beggar is a meaningful experience, because I can know more the beggars and change the attitude and impression about the beggars.
I think there are
some thing that we should learn from the beggars, we should learn although they had difficulty about their finance, but they still work hard and never give up, in our study we also have lots of difficulties, but we should striving toward.
I learnt
lots of things after interview with her, I learnt that the government had help them a lot, some of them were really need the help, but some of them were not because when we were finding the beggars, I discovered that some of the beggars were pretend a beggar. One of the beggar even smoking and wearing a gold watch!I learnt some people were prejudice beggars, I think they were no sympathy.
In the next time, I think my group can interview
more beggars and we can have more imformation and more notion about the beggars.

A person in the Renaissance

My name is Da Vinci, my birthdate is on 15th of April, 1452 and my deathdate is on 2nd of May, 1519. I am 67 years old. I born in present-day Italy.

I am a polymath because I am a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer. As I am a painter, my job is to make good paintings and bring hope to people.

I have a greatest pieces of art --Mona Lisa, I spent about six years to finish this painting.I think the smile of "Mona Lisa" is mysterious!

Being a painter, I feel meaningful because I think I can bring hope to the people, it is meaningful! I also think that arts are important because arts can make the mood of the society become better and lively.
