very difficult, she loses confidence and suffers from anxiety disorder in Primary Three. I think the
Education Bureau should stop the Primary Three TSA.

Arguments of abolishing the TSA: [Agree]

and/or students were created. It lowers students' motivation in learning
-It is not an effective method as the original aim of facilitating learning and teaching is disrupted.
Arguments of keeping the TSA: [Disagree]
- the Education Bureau would be able to keep track of the progress of the basic competencies (BC) in the
three subjects of Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics at the end of Key Stages 1-3 for
facilitating assessment for learning

Source B: Adapted from a local newspaper on 25 October 2015
Connectivity and accessibility have become the main competitive advantages of global cities. As part of
China, Hong Kong should have good connectivity and accessibility to different parts of Hong Kong.
(Source: Transport Department)
Transport to airport is was stopped after vessel hits Kap Shui Mun Bridge, leading to the closing of both
hidden bridge and Tsing Ma Bridge by authorities for two hours for inspection.
Now, after a boat crashed into the Lantau Link's Kap Shui Mun Bridge, effectively cutting off what is
regarded as one of the world's best airports, questions are being asked about what could have been done
and how long it might take to complete projects in the pipeline to establish a second link.
Lantau Island is home to not only the airport, but also the city's biggest exhibition venue - Asia World-Expo
- Hong Kong Disneyland and new town Tung Chung, and clearly requires the necessary infrastructure.

The number of vehicles increased sharply from 1997 to 2015. The no. of vehicles in 1997 is less than
10000 and it rose to over 80000 in 2015. The reason for the increasing trend may due to the rapid
development of Lautau Island.

The business activity will be interrupted. People cannot travel to international
airport as the Lantau link is the only link with the city. Closure of the link will
affect people's business activities because many people cannot catch the plane on
time or participate the exhibition in Asia-World Expo.
The cultural experience will be affected. People are not able to travel to
Asia-World Expo because of the closure of the link. Their cultural experience,
like attending concerts, exhibition, etc will be interrupted. Also, access to the
tourist attraction will be interrupted, e.g. Ngong Ping 360, it caused
inconvenience to the tourists.

Hong Kong might face the challenge of competition from other cities, like

transportation system in Hong Kong. The image of global city may be damaged
and the tourists may choose other cities to visit.
The quality of life of Hong Kong people may be lowered. The closure of the link
indicated the problem of the infrastructure in Hong Kong. The progress of the
infrastructure, e.g. Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is far behind schedule. It
will increase the financial burden of the government as well as the economic
