The project (11 marks)

12. Identify the important parts of the newspaper article according to the speakers’ instructions.

Home for the Homeless

Homelessness has long been a problem in Hong

Kong, and yet it remains an invisible problem. Most

of us turn a blind eye to the homeless people we

see on the streets and, indeed, to the problem in

general. At best, we think it an unfortunate situation;

at worst, we ignore it completely.

Now, however, one charity organisation is attempting

to tackle this problem. Help Hong Kong’s Homeless,

better known as HHKH, is planning to build a ‘home

for the homeless’ in Hong Kong, in the form of a

homeless shelter that will provide not only food and

shelter, but also many other services and facilities.

The HHKH shelter is to be built in Tai Wai, and is

expected to mark a turning point in the approach to

homelessness in Hong Kong and to better the lives

of so many people currently without a home.

However, this will be no ordinary homeless shelter.

The HHKH shelter, which is scheduled to begin

construction on 18 January, aims to provide a great

deal more than just a refuge for those living on the

streets.

In fact, the HHKH aims to provide everything that is

necessary to help homeless people get back on

their feet, back into the work-force, and back into

society. Specifical ly, that means career guidance,

job training programmes, counselling services and

so on.

The project is estimated to cost as much as

HK$5,000,000 and the HHKH is launching a huge

campaign to raise the funds to cover these costs.

With this project, due for completion on 30

November, the HHKH is bringing the issue of

homelessness into the limelight, and taking what we

all hope to be a great first step in tackling this often

overlooked but very real problem.
