「聖若瑟書院的舊生以團結和堅毅的『綠白精神』為傲。在你小學的校隊生涯中,例如在贏得4x100米接力賽冠軍的過程中,你和隊友們是如何體現這種『團結就是力量』的精神?請分享一次最令你難忘的合作經歷。」

2. English Reading and Response

First, please read this short passage aloud.
St. Joseph's College is famous for its history, but it is also a place for creating new ideas. A good student here does not only get good grades. He also participates in many activities. For example, he might be a fast runner on the sports team and also a smart 'Math Ambassador' in the classroom. Balancing schoolwork and hobbies like playing piano or rock climbing is a challenge, but it helps students grow stronger and more organized.

Now, please answer these questions.

Question 1: According to the passage, what two different things can a good SJC student do well?

Question 2: You are in the soccer team, badminton team, and you also do rock climbing and win math awards. How do you plan your time to do all these activities well?

3. 數學與視覺解難 (Mathematics & Visual Puzzle)

問題一:在小四的運動會上,你和三位隊友一起贏得了4x100米接力賽冠軍,總用時是64秒。假設你們四人跑步的速度一樣,請問每位隊員跑100米的平均時間是多少秒?

問題二:請看下方的圖形。這是一個由聖若瑟書院的「SJC」三個字母組成的標誌,它被放在一個長方形內。如果整個長方形的面積是300 cm²,請問陰影部分(字母S, J, C)大約佔了多少面積?為什麼你這樣認為?

S J C

4. Personal Storytelling & Values

Question: We see you have won many awards in music, like the Gold Award in the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival for piano. SJC is very proud of its school orchestra and choir. Can you tell us a story about a time when you faced a big challenge while learning piano, and how you overcame it? What did this experience teach you about hard work?

5. 創意解難 (Creative Problem-Solving)

情景題:

「假設聖若瑟書院計劃開設一個全新的課外活動學會,主題是『創意X服務』,目標是利用學生的創意和技能幫助社區。根據你既是『數學大使』又是『公益少年團』成員的經驗,你會提議成立一個怎樣的學會?請具體說明這個學會的第一個活動會是什麼,以及它如何能幫助到別人?」

6. Opinion Expression

Question: "Some students think that learning subjects like Japanese or skills like Chinese Chess is just for fun. Others believe these hobbies can help with school subjects like languages and math. What is your opinion? How has learning Japanese or Chinese Chess helped you in your primary school studies?"

2025-2026 Entrance Assessment Practice

1. 中文短講 (Chinese Speech)

準備一段約 1.5 分鐘的短講。

「為慶祝創校一百周年,九龍華仁師生收集了一萬條頸巾送贈長者,完美地體現了『為人而為,與人同行』的校訓。作為一位曾獲得公益少年團中級獎章的學生,請你分享一次最深刻的社區服務經歷。這次經歷如何讓你明白到,微小的善舉也能為他人帶來巨大的溫暖?」

2. English Reading and Scenario

Please read this short passage aloud.
At Wah Yan, students are given a lot of freedom. This freedom is not just for relaxing; it is an opportunity for students to take responsibility for their own learning. They can explore interests like science, drama, or even coding. A true 'Wah Yan boy' uses this freedom to learn new things, to help his classmates, and to prepare himself to serve the community in the future.

Now, imagine this situation and answer the question.

Scenario: You are in a group project for the 'Vision In Action (VIA)' class. The teacher gives your group the freedom to choose any topic. Your friends want to make a simple poster, but you have an idea to create a short video which needs more work. How would you persuade your friends to try your idea? How does this show you can use freedom with responsibility?

3. STEM 與邏輯挑戰 (STEM & Logic Challenge)

Look at the image and answer the questions in English.
Peak Start End Height

Question 1: You have experience with 'Just Climb' rock climbing. This shape looks like a climbing wall. If the base from 'Start' to 'End' is 20 meters, and the 'Height' is 15 meters, what is the total area of this triangle shape?

Question 2 (Logic): You have won a Gold Medal in the 'Pioneer Representative Team' for Math Olympiad. Here is a logic puzzle: If three expert climbers can climb this wall in 3 hours, how long would it take for six expert climbers to climb the same wall? Why?

4. 個人成長與學校生活 (Personal Growth & School Life)

題目:九龍華仁書院相信,從錯誤和挑戰中學習,能讓人成長。你在小學時贏得過很多獎項,例如『華夏盃』和 AIMO 數學比賽。請你分享一次在準備這些高難度比賽時,遇到重大困難或犯了錯誤的經歷。你當時是如何面對並解決這個困難的?這次經歷對你有什麼啟發?

5. 處境解難 (Scenario Problem-Solving)

Question: "Imagine you are the leader of a school's Chinese Chess club. A new student joins who is very shy and not very good at the game. Some older members don't want to play with him. What would you do to make the new student feel welcome and help him improve his skills? How does this reflect the spirit of 'Men for and with others'?"

6. Group Activity Simulation

This is a thinking task. Imagine you are in a group of four. The challenge is:

Task: "Your team is given a map of the Wah Yan College campus and a list of five school values (e.g., Kindness, Honesty, Courage, Service, Teamwork). You have 10 minutes to plan a short 'campus tour' for new students that connects three different locations on campus with three of these values. Which locations and values would you choose, and what would you say at each spot to explain the connection?"

面試提示與應試策略 (Interview Tips & Strategies)

聖若瑟書院 (St. Joseph's College - SJC) 應試詳情與策略

1. 中文交流:團隊合作與「綠白精神」

為何這樣問:此題旨在考察學生能否將個人經歷(特別是突出的成就)與學校的核心價值觀(綠白精神)聯繫起來。學校希望看到的不僅是學生的成就,更是成就背後的團隊合作與堅毅品質,並評估其溝通和反思能力。

應試策略:

  1. 選取具體事例:直接使用題目提到的「4x100米接力賽冠軍」經歷,因為這是你履歷上的亮點,真實且有說服力。
  2. 突出「合作」細節:不要只說「我們很團結」,要描述具體的合作行為。例如:如何互相鼓勵、如何練習交接棒、在落後時如何打氣等。
  3. 連結「綠白精神」:在故事結尾,明確點出這次經歷讓你體會到的精神(如:永不放棄、互相信任、為團隊犧牲)與你所理解的SJC「綠白精神」有何共通之處。

模擬答案(重點):

「老師好。我認為聖若瑟書院的『綠白精神』,代表著團結、堅毅和追求卓越。在我小學的田徑隊經歷中,我深深體會到這一點。特別是在贏得4x100米接力賽冠軍那次,我們經歷了很大的挑戰。

我記得在決賽前,我負責跑第二棒,而負責第三棒的隊友在練習時不慎扭傷了腳踝。我們當時非常擔心,氣氛也很低落。但我們沒有互相埋怨,反而一起想辦法。我陪他去做簡單的恢復,其他隊友則幫我們分析對手的跑線,我們不斷練習交接棒,務求做到最快最穩。比賽時,我們憑著完美的交接和互相的吶喊打氣,最終以微弱優勢贏得了冠軍。那一刻,我明白到,勝利不只屬於跑得最快的人,而是屬於最團結、最互信的團隊。這種為了共同目標而奮鬥、永不放棄的精神,就是我最嚮往的『綠白精神』。」

2. English Reading and Response: Balancing School and Hobbies

為何這樣問:這條問題通過朗讀和問 答,評估學生的英語發音、流暢度及理解能力。更重要的是,第二個問題直接針對學生的個人背景(多才多藝),考察其時間管理能力、自律性和成熟度。學校希望招收懂得平衡發展的學生。

應試策略:

  1. 朗讀要點:發音清晰,語氣自信。即使遇到不認識的單字,也要嘗試拼讀,不要停頓太久。
  2. 回答問題一:直接從文章中找出答案 (a fast runner and a smart 'Math Ambassador'),展示你的閱讀理解能力。
  3. 回答問題二:這是展示你優點的絕佳機會。回答時要結構化,可以提及使用時間表、設定優先次序(Prioritizing)、有效利用零碎時間等方法。

Model Answer (Question 2 - Key points):

"Thank you for the question. It is true that I have many interests, and I enjoy all of them. To balance my time, I use a simple weekly schedule. For example, I know that Monday and Wednesday afternoons are for soccer team training, and my badminton practice is on Fridays. I schedule my piano practice for one hour every day after I finish my homework.

The key is to focus. When it's time for math, I focus only on math. When it's time for sports, I give my best on the field. I also use small bits of time, like on the bus, to review Japanese words or think about a chess problem. This planning helps me make sure that I can enjoy my hobbies without letting my studies fall behind. I think being busy actually teaches me to be more organized."

4. Personal Storytelling & Values: Overcoming Challenges

為何這樣問:此題旨在深入了解學生的個性和毅力。學校不僅對學生的「金獎」感興趣,更關心他們在取得成就過程中所展現的抗逆力(resilience)。這能反映出學生面對困難時的態度和解決問題的能力。

應試策略:

  1. S.T.A.R. 法則:用這個結構來講故事:Situation (情景:準備一個重要的鋼琴比賽)、Task (任務:要掌握一首很難的曲子)、Action (行動:你做了什麼,例如每天額外練習、請教老師、放慢速度分段練習)、Result (結果:最終成功演奏,並從中學到了什麼)。
  2. 情感要真摯:描述當時遇到的困難和你的感受(如:沮喪、想放棄),這樣會讓你的故事更真實、更能打動人。
  3. 重點是「學習」:故事的結尾一定要總結你學到的道理,例如「堅持的重要性」、「一分耕耘,一分收穫」等。

    Model Answer (Key points):

    "I remember when I was preparing for my Grade 5 piano exam, there was a very fast and difficult piece of music that I just couldn't play correctly. My fingers kept getting tangled up, and I felt very frustrated. For a week, I made no progress, and I even thought about giving up on that piece.

    But then I remembered why I started playing piano: because I love music. So, I decided to change my strategy. I asked my teacher for advice, and she told me to practice very, very slowly, almost like a snail, focusing on just one small section at a time. I spent the whole week just practicing the most difficult two lines, over and over again. It was boring, but slowly, my fingers started to remember the notes.

    Finally, I could play the whole piece smoothly. I was so proud of myself. This experience taught me that when you face a big challenge, the solution is not to give up, but to break it down into small steps and work on it with patience. It taught me that hard work really does pay off."

    九龍華仁書院 (Wah Yan College, Kowloon - WYK) 應試詳情與策略

    1. 中文短講:「為人而為」與社區服務

    為何這樣問:此題直接將九龍華仁的百年校慶活動與校訓連結,並要求學生結合個人相關經歷(公益少年團)作答。目的是考察學生是否真正理解並認同學校的核心價值,以及他們將理念轉化為行動的潛力。

    應試策略:

    1. 先回應題目:開頭先讚揚學校的頸巾捐贈活動,表示對「為人而為,與人同行」精神的認同。
    2. 分享個人經歷:具體描述一次你在公益少年團的服務經歷,例如探訪老人院、賣旗籌款或社區清潔活動。
    3. 強調內心感受與反思:故事的重點不在於你「做了什麼」,而在於你「感受到了什麼」以及「學到了什麼」。例如,從長者的笑容中感受到付出的快樂,明白到幸福不是必然的。
    4. 將個人感悟與校訓昇華:結尾時,將你的個人體會與「為人而為」的精神再次聯繫,表達你希望在華仁繼續這種服務精神的願望。

    模擬答案(重點):

    「老師好。我從新聞中得知九龍華仁的師兄們為慶祝百年校慶,收集了一萬條頸巾送給公公婆婆,這份心意讓我非常感動,也讓我更深刻地理解了『為人而為,與人同行』的意義。

    這讓我想起了我作為公益少年團團員時,一次去探訪獨居長者的經歷。當時,我們帶了一些小禮物,並準備了表演。我記得其中一位婆婆,她一開始只是靜靜地坐著,不太說話。後來,我和她聊起她年輕時的故事,又為她唱了一首歌,她慢慢地露出了笑容,還緊緊握著我的手,說很久沒有這麼開心了。那一刻,我心裡感到一股暖流。我送出的只是一點時間和關心,但對婆婆來說,這份陪伴可能就是她一天中最快樂的時光。這次經歷讓我明白,服務他人不一定要做驚天動地的大事,一個微笑、一句問候,這些微小的善舉,已經能為別人帶來巨大的溫暖和力量。我期望將來能在華仁這個大家庭,和同學們一起,將這份『與人同行』的精神傳承下去。」

    3. STEM 與邏輯挑戰: 攀石與數學

    為何這樣問:這是一道跨學科問題,融合了學生的個人興趣(攀石)、數學知識(幾何)和邏輯思維能力(應用題)。它旨在評估學生的(1) 英語應用能力 (用英語回答數學題);(2) 知識遷移能力 (能否將課堂知識應用於生活情景);(3) 邏輯推理能力,這對於一個奧數金牌選手來說是一個很好的展示機會。

    應試策略:

    1. 問題一(數學計算):清晰地說出計算三角形面積的公式 (Area = 0.5 * base * height)。然後代入數字進行計算,並清楚地說出答案和單位。
    2. 問題二(邏輯推理):這是一個腦筋急轉彎(brain teaser)。關鍵在於要跳出純數學計算的框架。攀登一面牆所需的時間,主要取決於牆的大小,而不是攀登者的人數(在一定範圍內,他們可以同時攀登)。你需要解釋這個邏輯。

    Model Answer (Key points):

    For Question 1: "Okay, to find the area of this triangle shape, I will use the formula: Area equals one-half times base times height. The base is 20 meters and the height is 15 meters. So, the calculation is 0.5 times 20 times 15. This equals 10 times 15, which is 150. So, the total area of this shape is 150 square meters."

    For Question 2: "This is a very interesting logic puzzle. My answer is that it would still take 3 hours. The reason is that the time it takes to climb a wall depends on the skill of the climber and the height of the wall, not the number of climbers. Since all six climbers are experts, they can climb the wall at the same time, or one after another, but each one will still take 3 hours. Having more people doesn't make an individual climb faster. It's not like building a house where more workers can speed up the process."

    4. 個人成長與學校生活:從挑戰中學習

    為何這樣問:此題是壓力測試和深度反思題。面試官知道學生有很多成功經驗,但他們更想了解學生如何面對「不成功」或「困難」的時刻。這能揭示學生的成長心態(growth mindset)、解難能力和誠實度。一個只懂炫耀成功的學生,未必是學校最想找的人。

    應試策略:

    1. 誠實選擇經歷:選擇一個真實的困難經歷。例如,在準備某次奧數比賽時,遇到一種類型的題目總是想不通,或者在某次比賽中因為粗心而失分。
    2. 聚焦於「過程」而非「結果」:即使最後你還是獲獎了,也要把故事的重點放在你如何克服困難的「過程」上。描述你的思考、嘗試和調整。
    3. 展現積極心態:強調你從這次經歷中學到了什麼,例如「讓我明白了基礎知識的重要性」,或者「教會了我檢查和細心的價值」。展現你是一個會從錯誤中學習並進步的人。

    模擬答案(重點):

    「老師好。雖然我在數學比賽中獲得過一些獎項,但過程並非一帆風順。我記得在準備『華夏盃』決賽時,我遇到了一個瓶頸。有一種關於『行程問題』的複雜題型,我總是搞不清楚,每次測驗都錯。當時離比賽只有兩個星期,我非常焦慮,甚至有點想放棄這類題目。

    後來,我沒有逃避。我首先向我的奧數老師請教,老師建議我不要直接做難題,而是回到最基礎的公式和概念,自己畫圖來理解。於是,我花了一整個週末,把所有相關的基礎例題重新做了一遍,並且用不同顏色的筆在紙上畫出追逐、相遇的路線圖。當我把抽象的數字變成具體的圖像時,我突然就想通了其中的邏輯。接著,我再去做那些難題,發現它們其實都是由這些基礎概念組合而成的。

    最後在決賽中,我遇到了一道很難的行程問題,但我運用了畫圖的方法,冷靜地分析,最終成功解答了。這次經歷對我的啟發很大,它讓我明白,遇到困難時,不要害怕,也不要急於求成。回到基礎,把根基打穩,才是解決所有難題的最好方法。這比我贏得獎項本身,是更寶貴的收穫。」
