背景介紹:
Alpais Lam Wai-sze, 42, who works at a primary school in Hong Kong, has taught for 18 years. In the 2010/2011 academic year, she won the Chief Executive's Award for Teaching Excellence alongside her school's teaching team for moral and civic education.
A video was recorded on July 14 when Lam openly criticised the way police were dealing with the dispute involving the Falun Gong. Police threatened to arrest Lam when she asked for an explanation of why they had cordoned off the area near Sai Yeung Choi Street where the dispute was taking place.
Lam shouted foul language at the officers. The video was later uploaded onto YouTube and went viral later. And this incident triggered a rally which involved more than 3000 people.
To her supporters, Miss Lam is a free-speech heroine. To her critics, she’s a foulmouthed person who should apologize for directing unprintable words toward police officers and insisted that she should perform her job anymore.
Miss Lam made a apology openly to her students, refusing to apologise to the officers, and admitted that she should not use the foul language to express her rage.
話題:
1. Please express your feeling towards this incident. Do you think Miss Lam is a good teacher?
范例1:
Such a storm in the teacup, triggered a 3000-people demonstration, ending up in chaos, surely came out of surprise. The residents in Hong Kong, recently, seemed losing their reason and are very likely to go extreme. As a teacher also, I would like to take a stand on whether it is appropriate to a primary school teacher shouting obscenities in public.
Being a teacher is a bit different from any other careers as most of us usually put a high expectation on them. Teachers have great impact on their innocent students. There is a code of conduct they are assumed to follow and they should stay away from any negative behaviours. Back in the first day being a teacher, I started behaving myself and avoided acting recklessly as it would put me in a awkward situation if my students was watching me hiding in a corner. As a green hand, I am aware of the rules while a hardened teacher like Miss Lam should realise them too.
Speaking foul language in school is straightly forbidden meanwhile teachers must restrain themselves from swearing too. Moreover, the police was merely preforming their duty at the moment. They deserve respect and cooperation, not humiliation.
范例2:
As for a man who grew up in Chinese mainland and never had a chance to put foot on the soil of Hongkong, the music and movies from Hongkong opened the first door towards freedom, democracy and fraternity.
Thus, deep in my heart, Hongkong is the symbol and beacon of the free world. In 1997, when I was a junior high school student, I watched the ceremony of return of Hongkong with proud and excitement. Sixteen years later, the light of this beacon becomes feebler and feebler due to the burnout of the strength of democratic power. The Lam Wai-sze incident is such an epitome of the fall of Hongkong under the occupation of Communist party.
I have no good feeling towards Falun gong and I do not like using abusive words. However, in a society in which people used to enjoy rights of free speech, when facing the repression of communist gangsters and the inaction of police, the curse with abusive words is the only way for an individual with integrity and dignity to express her outrage. Unfortunately, some idiots in Hongkong do not comprehend -- the devils do not care about the civilized manners, they only want your flesh.
