HK's Family Affair

  The 32nd Hong Kong Art Festival, to be held early next year, will be based on the theme of “family”.

  The art festival, considered to be Asia's best, began in 1973.

  “We hope that people from Beijing and from all over the world will go to Hong Kong to enjoy the multiple performances in our art festival.” Douglas Gautier, the festival's management director, said in a press conference in the capital.

  In the 34 days of the festival, which runs from February 8 to March 7, 2004, the audience can choose from 111 performances of 51 programmes staged by 700 foreign performers, 450 local artists and 160 actors from the mainland.

  Programmes vary from classical music, jazz, world music, Western and Peking opera, drama and dance to outdoor spectaculars.

  The programmes include Beethoven's only opera Fidelio, Shakespeare's drama Romeo and Juliet, the ballet Mozartina and African dances, to name just a few.

  The lineup(阵容) includes the English Touring Theatre, Prague Chamber Orchestra, Zurich Ballet, The Spanish National Dance Troupe, as well as Europe Galante, the Petersen Quarter, pianists Angela Hewitt, and Marc-Andre Hamelin, and saxophonist Jan Garbarek.

  In an effort to increase attendance, hotels and airlines are offering discount packages along with art festival ticket sales, most of which are 20% and 30% discounts.

The headmaster of a middle school in southern England, David Hayes, has suspended(停课)students at his school 478 times over the past year—one in twenty of all the student suspensions in England.
Although some people believe that his actions go too far, he seems to be getting results. The number of students receiving “A” grades in the national senior school exam has increased from 48% in 2004 to 74% this year.
Mr Hayes says that many schools could achieves similar improvements if they improve their school students’ behavior. He also says the British government is wrong for pressuring schools not to suspend troublesome students and points out the harmful effects such students have on the quality of teaching and student learning. Suspensions often get many naughty students to improve their behavior, he says.
The school was below average in 2003. Mr Hayes joined the following year and now suspends two of the school’s 1880 students on average each school day. The total of 478 suspensions over the year means that almost one in four students have been punished this way. This year the school’s academic performance was judged as excellent.

A dramatic ballad(民歌) singer studied under a strict teacher who insisted that he rehearse (练习)day after day, month after month the same passage from the same song, without being permitted to go any further. Finally, overwhelmed (使受不了)by frustration and despair, the young man ran off to find another profession. One night, stopping at an inn, he came across a recitation contest. Having nothing to lose, he entered the competition and, of course, sang the one passage that he knew so well. When he had finished, the sponsor of the contest highly praised his performance. Despite the student’s embarrassed objections, the sponsor refused to believe that he had just heard a beginner perform. “Tell me,” the sponsor said, “Who is your instructor? He must be a great master. ” The student later became known as the great performer Koshiji.

Koshiji practiced so much that it became part of him. To really master something, it has to become part of you.
