Columbus College, 241 Queen Elizabeth Drive, Kowloon City MEMO

To: All staff

From: Jakie Mok, Secretary; Sports Development Committee

Date: May 20, 2010

A week ago, “Sports for Life” programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to

select a sport they wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls

from parents asking for more information about it. Here is a memo for your reference when

you answer the phones.

Sport 1: Basketball

We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students

should be advised to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from

KwunTong Sports Park. To cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10

each time. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher

watching over each game.

Sports 2: Gym

We will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. Thee are two reasons for choosing this park.

First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6 :00 p.m.. Second, it has lot of trees with plenty

of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities,

skipping, jogging, outdoor aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be

arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities.

Sport 3: Hiking

Hiking will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 p.m. and finish 90

minutes later. Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will

accompany each group of 15 hikers. Each instructor will cost $75/hr.

Sport 4: Swimming

The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers

will go the pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve 试卷第2页，共11页 the pool for one hour (i. e. 2:45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.). Only students skillful at swimming can

take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards present. Girls must wear a swimming

suit. The cost is $10 per visit.

Walter, a 3-year-old dog that survived on its own for almost a year recently came back to

his owner, who said she never gave up hope that he was still out there.

Kate Olson, who lives in New Hampshire, celebrated the safe return of Walter, who was

lost last year. “There is a part of me that just always knew that I was going to get him,” Olson

said.

Olson was visiting her boyfriend's parents in St. Louis for the holidays when Walter

escaped. Walter was on a walk with her boyfriend's parents and “he just got so frightened that

he backed out of his collar and he just took off,” she said.

Olson, who got Walter as an 8-week-old puppy, searched for Walter for two weeks

without any luck. She said it was hard to go back home knowing he was missing.

To continue her search for Walter, Olson posted (发帖子) all over social media asking

for help. She created a Facebook group called “Where's Walter?” to get help from people in

the community. 试卷第3页，共11页 A member of that Facebook group saw a post about a dog sighting (目睹) and sent it to

Olson. Luckily, the dog in the photo was Walter.

Walter was caught by an organization called Lost Paws Trapping. “13 days shy of living

in the woods, avoiding everyone he met and finally on Friday the 13th, Walter has been

trapped.” Lost Paws Trapping wrote on its Facebook page.

Olson said seeing Walter after nearly a year was extremely emotional. “I had to control

my feelings just because…I was in shock,” she said.

Despite living on his own for the past year, Olson said Walter seemed physically

unharmed and should be OK. She is thankful for her happy ending and her friends on social

media who helped track down Walter. Her advice to anyone with a missing pet is “just to keep

trying.”

“Not everybody does have this ending,” she added. “I never in a million years thought

that I would be one of them.”

4．What did Olson do to find her dog?
