Reflection

Chan Wai Kwok (2) I think have a trip on Lamma Island is

very interesting. We can learn many terms of Economic through this trip. People who lives in Lamma Island can earn money form their creative, such as market, restaurant and so on.

25

Yeung King (5)I think visit Lamma Island can let me learn more

knowledges. I can learn more about renewable energy.And I know that a windmill from planning to completion is very difficult, construction of windmill power plants requires careful planning, can not act in haste. I also interest why does a small island can attract foreigners to live.

26

Ho Man Fong (6)This is a great trip! The Lamma

Island’s people are very nice. And we didn’t see a private car there. The airs are very fresh. After this trip, I learnt that Economic is relate to our life closely. We can find a lot of things that are about Economic around us.

27

Lee Lok Sze (7)After this trip, I find that the concept of

Economies can easily find in our daily life. If we can be careful on the things that around us, we can find more than the things that we can expect. Besides, the trip helps us to revise the economics concept that we learned. As a results, it helps us to know more about them.

28

Wan Shuk Yin (11)After this field trip, I realize that Economic

concept are always around our daily life. Such as on the Lamma Island, the shop always show the Economic concept. So that this trip can help us to have more understand to the Economic concept. I have a nice trip and also can learn more about the lessons. This is a great extracurricular learning chance. I am looking forward to next field trip.

29

Chung Sin Nga (36)The trip was very interesting! I am the

first time to watch the windmill. That is very large. After watching the windmill, we walk around on Lamma Island. There are many western shop and restaurant. And also I can buy some good which are create by the shop owner!
