Top 10: How would you change a spot in Hong Kong for teens, and why?
Jasmine Chau Tsz-ching, 15, Stewards Pooi Kei College: In Cheung Chau, we have a wire fence filled with love locks for couples. I would like to change this practice to a way for teens to express their anger. Teens could write down their dissatisfaction on the locks which allows them to release their troubles.
Chan Hau-yin, 12, Immaculate Heart of Mary College: I would transform Kwun Tong Promenade into a combination of a food court and a library. Given its fantastic view, it is a perfect spot for teens to hang out, especially if there are free snacks like fish balls and spring rolls available. In the library area, people could enjoy reading novels or manga.
Wong Pui-ho, 15, Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Memorial College: I will design a museum dedicated to the history of game consoles. This museum will not only showcase the evolution of game consoles but will also allow teenagers to try them out for free, helping them deepen their understanding of these gaming devices.

Lloyd Tse Chi-loi, 13, Stewards Pooi Kei College: All convenience stores could benefit from adding study corners. Since they sell food, I'm sure teens would enjoy studying while munching on snacks. Who knows? Maybe hard work can be paired with tasty treats and drinks. What would be your go-to snack while studying in that corner?

Tuition and music: how Hong Kong's pupils got into their first choice secondary schools
Attending private tuition and relaxing by playing chess and listening to music were among the strategies used by Hong Kong's Primary Six students to achieve good grades and be part of the record 74 per cent of pupils who got into their most preferred secondary schools through the central allocation system. A primary school principal also said on Tuesday that students had benefited from less competition for entering their first choice institution, helped by the 'zero-quota' policy that bans mainland Chinese women from giving birth to babies in Hong Kong. Primary Six pupils on Tuesday morning received the results at their schools, with figures from education authorities showing that 74 per cent of them were assigned to their first choice secondary school in the central allocation, jumping from 62 per cent last year to a record high At Yaumati Catholic Primary School (Hoi Wang Road), students shed tears of joy at their results. One exclaimed 'I got in' several times after learning she had got a place in her first choice school, while another who enjoyed the same result thanked his parents. 'I love Wah Yan College (Kowloon) for its sports ground and its huge campus as I am into track and field,' said Aiden Chan Yin-lok.
