Your group is on an exchange trip with students from other parts of Asia and you have been asked to try one of the following bizarre foods. You will also have to write an article about this experience for the school magazine. Discuss which of the following foods would be most suitable for the article.

BIZARRE FOODS

Kegogi is a Korean dish of shredded dog meat with

rice.

You can choose a live dog, and they will kill, clean

and cook it within a few minutes.

Durian is a tropical fruit. It has a very pungent

smell and the odor is so penetrating it can

spread a long distance even without removing

the shell.

In some parts of the world, the fruit is

forbidden from hotels, subways and airports.

Live baby octopus is cut up fresh and immediately

served, usually with some sesame oil. The

tentacles are still squirming and actively moving

which can be dangerous if you don’t chew them

thoroughly.

People have been known to choke if the tentacles

get caught in their throat!

Sago Worms are a delicacy in Malaysia. The

worms are eaten raw or fried and they taste

creamy and rich like toffee.

To eat them raw, hold it by its head then pop

its wriggling body tail first into your mouth and

bite off at the tip of the head.

SAMPLE 6 HKDSE Paper 4 – Additional sample questions

Part A Group Discussion

Your group is doing a project on the Chinese film industry. Read the excerpt of an interview Zhang Yimou gave in Newsweek magazine.

Zhang Yimou

NW: Since your first film, 1987’s Red Sorghum, how has the audience for movies in China changed?

ZY: In China, moviegoers are getting younger, mainly people born in the 1980s and 1990s. They are definitely different from the audiences of the past. They have a variety of tastes, but mainly they like entertaining films and, of course, they like Hollywood films… I worry about the influence Hollywood has on the young people in China. I think we need to make our own movies and do a better job of protecting our industry.

NW: How does pop culture influence you?

ZY: In films, most of us come from traditional culture and are all facing this dilemma: how to deal with pop culture. Moviegoers are mostly from a younger generation. We want to guide them and please them, but we don’t want to be like old people talking to ourselves. There is a Taoist-inspired Chinese saying: ‘Find art’s essential nature.’

Discuss some of the points covered in the interview. You may want to talk about:

?whether you agree that moviegoers nowadays are mostly young people

?whether Hollywood has a negative influence on young people in China and Hong Kong

?whether movies can help to guide people through life

?anything else that you think is important

Part B Individual Response

1.What is your favourite film?

2.Do you like watching films made on the Mainland?

3.Do you think that Hong Kong films reflect everyday life in Hong Kong?

4.What is the difference between Asian and Western films?

5.Which do you think is more important in filmmaking: commercial success or artistic

achievement?

(Adapted from an interview by Alexandra A. Seno in Newsweek, 17 Oct 2010.)
