Welcome to physics forums! You're doing very well to learn English and it's coming along nicely :smile: If I may I ask, was your main purpose in joining here to learn, chat, or get homework help? Or even a mixture of them all.
My only reason when I first joined was to get homework help, but I quickly came to realize there are a bounty of good questions asked in these forums on topics I never would even think of myself, but do find interesting. Then somehow, oh so slowly, I creeped into the general chat sections too :biggrin:
 
Welcome to PF, city25. One has certainly come to the right place to discuss physics and electrical engineering.
 
Welcome, city25, I think you'll like it here. Hope you enjoy it!
 
no problem if your English is not good,mine is not good too :)

you can use Chinese when you don't know how to say in English,I can understand.:smile:

I first knew the forum few months ago. I was doing a project on friction. I found that some questions asked are similar to mine and helped me to solve my problems and finish my project. After that, I found that many topics discussed are very useful for me to correct my improper or unclear concept. Also, some of them are interesting~ Up to yesterday, I realize that it is a good place for me to ask my physics questions than many HK sites. I suppose I can have more professional answers here.Well, I only got a pass in english in the public examination, which makes me feel so surprised and sad...

Really, your English is fine and easily understandable. we won't be asking you to write out an essay for us so you have nothing to fear.

First you need to get slapped with a fish to be a member! If you allow me, I'll borrow rootX's fish!

There you are, you're officially a PF member. :biggrin:

In order to join the sisterhood... Well, all I know is as long as you wear a 5~15 shoe size you're in. Otherwise you're excluded! :biggrin:

Wow! You actually read the rules!? I have been here for decades, never knew such a rule exist. I guess you don't need to break this rule, your writing is very clear.

So you are going to Form 7 this coming year? May I ask you where you plan to go to university? HK? China? Somewhere else?

Welcome again, and hope to see you around here again soon.

You think so! :bugeye: Nah, Evo's arm would do it not mine! Hello Evo :biggrin:

City25: 这是一个笑话 :smile:

You know golfguy, I got the feeling that you haven't been slapped... May I borrow your golf club?! :biggrin:

It's great~ ^^

yup~ I will stay in Hong Kong since my parent have no such money for me to go abroad. But what I'm worrying about is that HK is not a good place to study engineering. Maybe I will do part-time job and save some money to go overseas for my master degree (even dr.).

OHH, you're really playing joke on me~~ haha!

PS. well.. hong kong uses Traditional Chinese not Simple Chinese~

Welcome to Physics Forums! I wish I could visit Hong Kong. Have you ever visited the United States?

Yeah, that's what I think too... most people in HK would choose business, IT, medicine or anything else before engineering/physics, at least that's my impression... well, maybe I am wrong...

Anyway, it is good to know someone from HK who like engineering and physics, and do not plan to follow the herd. And don't worry too much, you have plenty of time to plan and explore your future. Just keep learning and doing what you like.

oh no, you are right. most students would choose business, medicine, law before engineering or science. But I really love engineering or physics even if I would be offered those programmes. The alternative that I may consider is the double degree programme (BEng & BBA). Engineering/physics is a must.
