This is the first project we have done in Liberal Studies. To my astonishment, it is entirely different from my projects in primary school. We have done alot of things which we haven't tried before. A prime example is that we are using Blogger to finish our project. It made my typing skills improved tremendously.
When it comes to the topic "poverty", frankly speaking, we are not experts of exploring the problem in the society. For a secondary student, it is difficult to finish the whole project on myself. So, we tried our best and stayed up late lest our work cannot be finished on time.
It is also a challenging task to analyse the data as we need to plan and elaborate the points well and wisely. Moreover, it is believed that doing project can really let us have a chance to try what is enquiry study and how to cope with them in Senior Secondary stage.
The most enjoyable part of this project is questionarire analyse. Though it is not an easy work, I can see lot of interesting answers to our questions. It is interesting to see the others' perpectives.
Lastly, I would like to express my deepest gratitiude to my Liberal Studies teacher Mr. Chin. With his valuable ideas and guidance to our project, we can do make it better as well as more meaningful!

Personal Reflection by Wang Man Yuen 1E(35)
This is my first time of doing the Liberal Studies project and it is my first project in F.1.At the beginning I felt happy and excited. The first time we talked about is the title is what ? Group leader said that he had thought this question and proposal ‘The million of people’. Everyone said it was a great title, so we use this for our title.
Poverty is a worrying question. Poverty around the world has already been so trouble throughout the question. In Hong Kong, most of the poor people is the elderly. Between rich and poor is widen, so Hong Kong Government need to help the poor people to less the difference.
Finally, I have learned more about poverty. I think that our group needs teamwork, because it is very important. If we have team conflict, we can solve this problem and continue to finish the project.

Personal Reflection (Alexander Wan)1E(34)
The number of poor people in Hong Kong is an important issue in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has the widest gap between rich and the poor people.
In the Central Business District of Hong Kong, it is very common to see a lot of luxury shops selling expensive bags, shoes and jewellery. The territory's property market is one of the most expensive one in the world. Recently, a posh 5-bedroom apartment in the exclusive Peak district had a world record of $71,280 Hong Kong Dollars per square foot, even higher than that at Hyde Park 1 in London.
But on the other side of Hong Kong, poor people are living together in ultra small flats. People become poor as almost everything in Hong Kong is relatively expensive. Poor people cannot afford the high prices and mostly end up begging in the busy streets for money.
In this project, I found out that the problem of poor people in Hong Kong is much more serious than I thought. Most of the Hong Kong people focus too much on becoming rich, buying and selling stocks and neglect about the poor people in Hong Kong, which makes the gap between the rich and poor people become wider and wider. Other than figuring out why people become poor and what their living standard is, we have thought of the solutions for the poor people.
Of course, other than the knowledge I have learnt during our researches and collecting data, I have learnt many skills for communicating and cooperate with people. After more than 6 months of hard work, from making the title of our project to practicing the presentation and preparing to present, I learnt about how to cooperate with others, the skills of interviewing poor people, how to solve problems and conflicts between teammates, and skills for presenting a report.
I have learnt so much knowledge and skills from this project and I think they will be valuable to my future studies and career. I will also try my best to help the poor so that they live happily and peacefully.
Personal Reflection (Leung Ho Yin, Joe)1E(17)
Poverty, is a big and alarming problem in Hong Kong and over the world. And thus we chose 'poverty' as our project title. After the completion of the project, we learnt more about poverty. And we notice that the government has just done a little things to solve the problem so far. But the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. Therefore, we have searched for many information and have some interviews to know more about the solutions for helping the poor and the meaning of 'poverty' in people's mind etc.. I think that our project can help all of you to take a deep look on the problem of poverty.
Moreover, we also learnt about the skill how to do an interview. We must be brave and we should know how to encounter with the problem when the interviewees refuse to do the questionnaire.
At last, I also learnt that team work and cooperation is very important! Our group has some arguments at first. Then, we stop doing our work for a few days! But we know that the deadline is approaching and we must move on the project. Finally, we finished our project on time.

Personal Reflection (Kwok Sai Pui Sam)1E 10
Poverty is a global issue. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening but it seems the government has little power in solving the issue. Through the literature review, it generates a lot of unanswered questions of the solutions to the poverty issue.
How to answer these questions is difficult. The balance between the free market force society and the socialist communal society is difficult to obtain. I hope our project can show some hints to the solutions to this issue. Another thing I learnt is to be brave when doing the street interviews for collecting data. We encounter a lot of interviewee refusing to answer. In addition, the analysis of the data collected in interesting. Finally, team cooperation is very important. We encounter team conflict initially. We argue much about the flow of work and team mates’ input. Fortunately, we solve the issue and generate this project successfully by team effort.

Research Design and Methodology
Since the enquiry question is quite comprehensive, we need to be more careful to do the research design and use the right method to research. In this project, our group will base on some data and analyse them. Nevertheless, interview is one of the most important steps in this project. We have conducted two interviews with similar questions. We would like to compare the two results and make it more accurate. One is just conducted in the street, the another one is conducted by inviting schoolmates, classmates and teachers to do our questionnaire. Moreover, the questionnaire will consist of short response and multiple choice question. The two interviews are aimed to investigate how Hong Kongers understand what is 'poverty', their perspectives and the impression. It is really a pity that we cannot find the poor to do an interview, it would be better if we can.
For the analysis of the data, we will use the data from HKGOV which is the most accurate, detailed and up-to-date origin. We will try to elaborate and extend the points by using data to prove.
