English Club is the second biggest club at Yuen Long Lutheran Secondary School this year. We have nearly 200 members. Our aim is to create an atmosphere of speaking good English together. We want to make Lutheran's students learn English in a relaxing and interesting way.
We used to have a small room called the English Corner providing English materials for Lutheran's students. Now, we have a full-size classroom called the English Chatroom for all students to come by to chat in English or get extra help any day at lunch or after school. Teachers can arrange oral exam practice or tutoring with small groups, and students can use the computers, play board games, read in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere or even sing karaoke in the English Chatroom. English Club members can have more benefits like borrowing books, CDs and VCDs. Since we have our own chatroom, we can hold club activities, meetings, and parties without arranging for another venue.

We designed a membership card for all English Club members at the very begining of first term. The requirements to be a gold card member were shown on the back of the membership card. The only way for them to become a gold card member is to be exposed to English more. Thus, it could encourage students to join us more frequently.
+ . . . T-Shirt and Logo Design Competition
We held this T-shirt and Logo Design Competition since we wanted to have an image which is more distinctive. We invited all students to join this competition at the very beginning of September and we received a lot of good entries. It was really hard to judge which was the best one. Finally, we chose the design of Lau Oi Lam in 3B to be our club logo.

+ . . . 2nd Annual Crazy Halloween Party
Since last year's Halloween Party was very successful, we held a party again this year. We invited all S.1 students and our S.2 club members to join our 2nd Annual Crazy Halloween Party. Before the party began, we held a Mask-making Activity for participants to make some funny masks themselves. We really had a good time that day. We played many games like Bobbing for Apples, ABC Soup, 20 Questions, Pumpkin Decorating and so on. Students could earn points by playing those games and use the points to buy nice food and drinks at a student-run "supermarket". A reporter from Sing Tao Daily was there to report on our successful party, and they published a three-page article in their S-File section, too.

+ . . . Christmas party
|
Christmas is a time for us to share our love. So we held a lovely Christmas party for all English Club members to have fun and gather. We offered some food and drinks for our members. Besides, our members could even write their wishes on the paper we provided and put them on the white-board Christmas tree. We also played some Christmas songs in the party, and some students made their own mini Christmas tree.
|
+ . . . S.3 English TV Game Show
|
We held aTV game show, which combined the interesting formats of the TV shows ' The Weakest Link ' and ' Who Wants to be a Millionaire'. Between each part of the show, we played some student-made commercial advertisements about the importance of learning English.
|
+ . . . LET ( Learning English Together )
This programme is designed to help junior form students improve their English with the help of their parents and our executives. Participants have to do some assignments like daily vocabulary, summary of a story/article/TV programme, feeling of the song lyrics and so on. They have to talk to our executives each week about what they did with their parents and what they learned. Participants performing well in the programme will be awarded.

We wanted to change the image of English Club to a lively and energetic one in order to attract more students to join us, so during summer vacation we planned a lot of activities for the coming school year. We gave out leaflets and made an introductory video of English Club. Finally, we obtained a great success by getting nearly 200 members, which is 4 times that of the previous year.
Junior form students had to have real conversation on various topics (not just say 'Good morning!') with some senior form students and teachers to earn points. They were given some record cards to get as many signatures as they could.
Every year, our school will send some students to participate in the Hong Kong Schools Speech Festival. Last year and this year, we held a Solo and Choral Speaking Show to let all our students have a chance to watch our participants perform. It was a really good show.
Every Thursday morning, we have some senior form students make English announcements to tell what is going on to all students in Lutheran. In second term, we will begin training S.4 students to make the English announcements.
The English Network is a weekly lunchtime radio programme. Our Network Directors always play some great music and talk about some interesting topics in each programme. Before the programme starts, we have an English news report, too. Recently, we held a DJ competition because we wanted to give more students a chance to speak in English freely.
Since Lunar New Year is a very important traditional festival to Chinese, we wanted to make it big. So we have held two Chinese New Year parties in early February. One was for our junior members and another was for our senior members. During the parties, we had food and drinks and some students sang karaoke. Many of them wrote some pretty good English wishes, too, and we posted them in the corridor.
The aim of holding English worship assemblies was to let our schoolmates know how hard our English teachers work for them. We hoped our schoolmates could work hard together to reach our goals. We played a really good video with some shots of the school lives of our teachers with students. The assemblies were very successful. We also promoted two short dramas, interviewed a few senior form students, and listened to a speech by our school's newest English teacher.

What's next for English Club?
Of course, a lot of good things are coming. First, we will have a study trip to Singapore in the coming Easter holiday. The English Club, Student Union and Environmental Protection Club will hold this excellent trip together. Twenty students and five teachers will visit two high schools in Singapore and experience their culture. We want to take this chance to know more about their learning methods by using English as the medium of instruction.
Besides, we will organize a Green Debate, involving students from Form 4 and 6. The topics of the debate will be based on environmental protection issues.

At the same time, English Club will hold an English Day Camp in March. This day camp is designed for some Primary school students and our Form 1 students. We will play some interesting English games with them. We want to given them a chance to learn English by speaking English in real situations. That should be fun to have such a great party together, right?
Also, we will organize English Speaking Day monthly in second term. Students in junior forms, having a real conversation with senior form students and teachers can earn points towards their gold card membership.
Besides these big plans, we will also try to provide more extra English help for our schoolmates. For instance, the English Chatroom will be opened for the Form 5 and 7 students to prepare for their public examinations and we will help the Form 4 students to speak natural English through a DJ training course. We will have our own English magazine very soon too. We will try to buy more multifunction materials for our schoolmates to learn English in an interesting way since English Club exists to promote an English-friendly atmosphere at YLLSS.

+ . . . BACKGROUND
YLLSS was founded in 1960, so it is now 42 years old. It is a Christian school. Along the 42 years, there have been a lot of changes. In 1993, the school was moved to a new campus in Tin Shui Wai from Yuen Long. In 1998, the previous principal, Mr. Ma, retired, and then Ms. Wong acceded to the principal of our school.
Now, there are 27 classes and 54 teachers in Lutheran.The facilities include 26 classrooms, 4 laboratories, 1 library, 2 computer rooms and an MMLC (Multi-Media Learning Center ).
The teachers are all friendly, kind and helpful. With their help, our students are all learning in a happy atmosphere. They cooperate tightly in order to give the best to the students. Also, they have a very good relationship with their students. Because of this cooperation, all the students at Lutheran are improving.
+ . . . NEW WING OF LUTHERAN
Technology is developing very fast now. Our world is changing rapidly. So, the quality of education is becoming more and more important. Students have to get closer to the world so that they can adapt to this changing world more easily in the future. To get close to the world, students have to learn more on their own and study in more various ways, like doing projects with friends, making presentations and finding relevant information themselves. In this way, more and more facilities are required to help with the students' studies. Students have to find the facts themselves, and teachers have to become the guides who only give suggestions to the students. So, students have to find useful information in the World Wide Web, library, newspaper and so on.
In 2003, a new building will be constructed at Lutheran. There will be a lot of new facilities, which can help the students with their studies. The facilities will include 2 classrooms, one language laboratory, one computer assisted learning room, 3 supportive education rooms, an interview room, a multi-purpose room, a student-activity center and so on. These facilities can help to provide a better studying environment and contribute to an atmosphere of self-learning among the students.
