Read the passage below and answer questions 1-10.
Adapted from a Hong Kong teenager’s blog:
"Moving from a small primary school in Sha Tin to a large secondary school in Kowloon Tong was terrifying. On my first day of Form 1, I got lost three times. The corridors looked like a maze. I couldn't find Classroom 1E. A prefect named Michelle saw me panicking. She didn't just point; she walked me to my classroom. That small act of kindness changed my whole week. Now, in Form 2, I am a prefect myself. I always remember: the school is big, but a helping hand makes it feel small."
