Dear Sally, I’m feeling very enthusiastic about our next exhibition; however, we still have a lot to do. Could you please handle the following this week?
Exhibition web page
I have started making the web page, but I need you to complete it using details from the notes from the board meeting. I’ll also forward you a chat I had with an artist, which has a lot of useful details you can use on the web page.
Email invitation
As you know, I’d like to invite a local historian to give a talk on our opening night. Please invite him/her and give the date of the opening. Then explain why we chose him/her as our preferred speaker, and what we’re interested in as the topic. Finally, give the nitty gritty details of the talk (length, speaker fee, and when we need him/her or his decision by). Don’t forget to include your email address so you can get the response.
Descriptions
We’ve already chosen two pieces of artwork we want to include in the exhibition. I need you to write a description of each to post beside the art. First, give the title of the piece and name the artist. Then, in the description, please mention:
the type of artwork (is it a photo, painting or other?);
what the artwork shows;
what period of Kowloon Walled City it depicts (and other important statistics if appropriate);
why the artist chose this scene or subject; and
I’ve talked about some of the details you need at the board meeting. I’ll forward you my email exchange with two artists for your reference. If you could address the above ASAP, it’d be much appreciated.
Meeting date: 6 May In attendance: Reggie Ng, Sally Wong, Timothy Cheung Topic: Upcoming Kowloon Walled City exhibition
1. Opening night
Reggie would like a local historian to be invited as the guest speaker for the opening night.
Reggie requested that the talk be on the origins of Kowloon Walled City. Sally mentioned she has a biography of someone who would be appropriate. Reggie encouraged her to invite the historian, and to give two examples of periods of time he/she is an expert on.
Reggie clarified that the opening night will be the evening before the exhibition opens.
Timothy reviewed the schedule and said that there is one hour open for the historian’s talk, and that we need him/her answer by this Friday, in case it was necessary to invite someone else instead.
2. Clean-up
Reggie asked when the gallery space would be cleaned up from the last exhibition, so the new Kowloon Walled City pieces can be displayed.
Sally has contacted buyers about picking up their pieces or having them shipped.
Timothy is coordinating the cleaners.
Biography of Nancy Wu
Task 6
Nancy Wu is a respected historian from Hong Kong. She attended the University of
Hong Kong, receiving her doctorate in History in 1999. Since then, she has written
a number of books on the history of her city.
Her area of particular interest is Kowloon Walled City. Wu is a leading expert on
the period of the Walled City during the Song Dynasty. She has also extensively
studied the Walled City during the Japanese occupation in World War II.
Wu travels all over the world giving talks on history and its implications. She is frequently quoted in television
and radio programmes as one of Hong Kong’s leading voices on History.
Jasmine Fung is one of the most promising young artists in Hong Kong. Her artwork has just been selected for inclusion in the Gadget Gallery’s upcoming exhibition on Kowloon Walled City. Greg Chu recently sat down with her to chat about her inspiration for the work.
Greg Chu: Your work often focuses on people’s personal moments and stories. Is this true for your piece in the exhibition at the Gadget Gallery?
Jasmine Fung: Yes, it is. I love showing intimate moments between people, and I think it’s a great way to make broader points. This particular painting depicts a young girl’s trip to an unlicensed dentist. The girl, of course, appears fearful, since most children are afraid of the dentist. In the background, the girl’s father is amused. These types of normal, everyday moment would occur at Kowloon Walled City in the 1960s to 1970s. I believe seeing them gives us insight into the culture of the place.
GC: What made you choose this particular scene?
JF: It’s quite close to my heart, actually, due to a family connection. My grandmother lived in the Walled City, and she described this scene to me. I wanted to show the world a small sliver of her life.
GC: What are you working on next?
JF: I’m working on a larger project. It’s a mural, but I can’t tell you any more than that just yet. You’ll have to wait and see!
Thanks for the details. I’ll make sure they’re incorporated in the description of your work.
Yours sincerely,
Reggie
Hello all,
Yes—we chose to depict the eviction process because so many people suffered during the traumatic event. I really think it’s an important piece of Hong Kong’s history.
Best,
Helen
Hi Reggie,
Thanks for getting in touch. We’re very excited to have our piece in the show. As you’ve probably noticed, there are miniature residents and police officers in the model, as it depicts the eviction process. I’ll send you along a fact sheet with the years when the eviction happened. You should also include the number of residents affected in the description.
Helen can probably speak to why we chose this scene, as this was her idea originally.
Thanks,
Peter
Dear Peter and Helen,
I’m so pleased that the artwork you collaborated on will be appearing in our Kowloon Walled City art exhibition. I think your piece is unique, and will be an important part of the show. It is exactly the type of artwork we are looking for. It is a perfect addition to the exhibition.
I’m wondering if you can tell me a bit more about the artwork so we can use it in the description for gallery visitors (what the subject is, why you chose the subject, what era it depicts).

As you know, our exhibition based around on Kowloon Walled City is coming up fairly soon, so we need to get started on preparations. Here are a few things I’d like you to take care of this week:
Email to artist collective
We need more artists to submit their work for consideration in our exhibition so we can select out of the best work available. I’d like you to email an appropriate artist collective, in order to encourage their members to make submissions for our show. In the first paragraph, give the dates, the focuses of the exhibition and the types of artwork we’re looking for. Then, give the financial details (per cent the artist keeps, what we’re donating, something about the likelihood of us selling the artwork). Next, provide some details about the artist collective to show what you know about them (name of collective, number of artists represented, and a reason why they’re a good fit). Finally, provide details on how to submit work to us, and how we’ll select pieces. All the necessary details should be in your notes from the board meeting and the instruction sheet for artists. You’ll also have to find a web page for an appropriate artist collective.
Artist biography
Please write a biography of Vincent Choi, who’s one of the artists we’ve already chosen. This will be displayed at the exhibition. First, give details on his background and development as an artist (education, other positions, accomplishments, and a description of his style). Next, say why he is interested in Kowloon Walled City (personal history and what he wants to show his audience). In the following paragraph, describe his piece in the exhibition (type, title, what it represents). Lastly, it’d be nice to provide his website address. I’ll send you a journal entry he provided that he said would help, as well as a letter of recommendation and a WhatsApp conversation the two of us had.
Article
I’d like an article about the history of Kowloon Walled City for our website. Please write the article in chronological order, paying particular attention to years, countries’ actions and any relevant statistics. Don’t forget to include an appropriate title and a conclusion.
I learned today that a piece of art I completed last year will be displayed in the Gadget Gallery.
I’m quite excited to have a piece appearing there. In fact, I feel quite overwhelmed. I was trying
to get to the bottom of that feeling. Of course, I’ve had a number of pieces displayed in other
galleries, so I didn’t understand why I felt so proud and exhilarated about this one. I think I
finally figured it out.
The piece, which is an abstract work based around Kowloon Walled City, comes from a very
personal place. Since both my parents and grandparents spent most of their lives in Kowloon
Walled City, making art on this topic is very poignant. My grandfather has told me about his
noodle shop, tucked into a tiny basement room, making quality, sought‐after noodles day in and
day out.
I think I want to show people that Kowloon Walled City was a vibrant community. It’s important
to me that people understand that it was not just a place with a high crime rate.
I’m still sorting through some of my feelings on this, but I think having a piece in a gallery full of
artwork related to Kowloon Walled City will be a special experience.
My one reservation is that I’m not sure I want to sell the piece, since it has such great personal
value to me!
Letter of recommendation for Vincent Choi
Task 9
To Whom It May Concern:
It is my belief that Vincent Choi would be an excellent addition to any team, particularly those in which a creative and uninhibited mind is needed.
Vincent received his Master’s in Fine Art from the University of Chicago. Here, he was a leader to other students, and well respected by professors for his dedication.
Following his university career, Vincent became an apprentice for the painter Julie Zhang for one year, further developing his technique and skills. Vincent was also named one of Fine Art Asia’s ‘20 Young Artists to Watch’ in 2016. One look at Vincent’s work makes this no surprise. His aggressive and unrelenting style is worthy of the highest praise.
Any organization or gallery would be fortunate to make his association.
Yours sincerely,
Dennis Banten PhD in Art History University of Chicago
Reggie Hi Vincent. I wanted to tell you how pleased we are to display your work in our gallery.
Vincent It’s great to finally have a piece in the Gadget Gallery!
Reggie We’re just working on placards to hang by the pieces of art, and I was wondering if you could confirm the best way to describe your piece. It’s a painting, correct?
Vincent Actually, it’d be better to describe it as a mixed medium work, as I use more materials than just paint.
Reggie Ah, I didn’t realize that. And the title is ‘Small spaces’?
Vincent Oops—I forgot to tell you that I changed it. Is it too late? I’d like to have it labelled ‘Down a dark alley’.
Reggie Not too late at all! Can I also ask what the work represents for you?
Vincent Creating this piece, I was thinking a lot about hope in times that seem hopeless. I think that’s the theme. Even in a challenging environment like Kowloon Walled City, people lived such rich lives.
Reggie I see. A lot of the artists in our show have noticed a similar thing.
Vincent I see what you’re saying. Oh, could you please include my website, so people can check out my other work? It’s www.vincentchoiartist.com.

Model writing
One of the most fascinating parts of Hong Kong’s history
The Walled City was first created to be a 10.1a trading post for salt during the 10.1b Song Dynasty.
At the time, it was a relatively quiet place for business and trade.
Though 10.2a Hong Kong became a British territory in the late 1800s, Kowloon Walled City remained 10.2b under Chinese Control until 1912. After this time, the British controlled the city, though they
largely ignored it.
During their 10.3a occupation of Hong Kong in 10.3b World War II, the Japanese 10.3c took apart
the strong exterior wall. They used the material in order to expand the nearby airport.
After this time, the Kowloon Walled City expanded rapidly. During the 10.4a 1950s, the city became
a hotspot for organized crime. In the 10.4b 1970s, Hong Kong police led many raids in an attempt to
reduce the crime rate.
The 10.5a British and Chinese governments decided together to tear down the Walled City. The 10.5b demolition took place from 1993 to1994, causing 10.5c 33,000 residents to lose their homes and
businesses.
Kowloon Walled City had a complicated history, and it deserves to be remembered as an unusual

5 Data File Manipulation Successful manipulation of phrases from the Data File to create grammatically correct sentences. Achieved through a wide variety of changes made to the original texts. Own language A wide range of accurate sentence structures using own language, with an excellent grasp of more complex structures. Grammar extremely accurate with very occasional slips. Spelling and punctuation are mostly correct.
4 Data File Manipulation Generally successful in adapting phrases from the Data File to create grammatically correct sentences through some of: word formation changes, tense changes, pronoun changes etc. Own language A range of accurate sentence structures with a grasp of simple and complex sentences. Grammar mainly accurate with occasional common errors that do not affect overall clarity. Spelling and punctuation are mostly correct.
3 Data File Manipulation Sometime successful in adapting phrases from the Data File to create grammatically correct sentences. This is done though some of: word formation changes, tense changes, pronoun changes etc. Own language A range of accurate sentence structures with some attempts to use more complex sentences. Grammatical errors occur in more complex structures but overall clarity not affected. Spelling and punctuation are sufficiently accurate to convey meaning.
2 Data File Manipulation Occasionally successful in adapting phrases from the Data File to create grammatically correct sentences though more often errors occur due to failing to change the original texts to the requirements of his/her own text. Own language Simple sentences are generally accurately constructed. Occasional attempts are made to use more complex sentences. Structures used tend to be repetitive in nature. Grammatical errors sometimes affect meaning. Most common words are spelt correctly, with basic punctuation being accurate.
1 Data File Manipulation Writing characterized by occasional attempts to adapt language from Data File or by chunks taken verbatim from the Data File. Own language Short simple sentences are generally accurate. Only scattered attempts at longer, more complex sentences. Grammatical errors often affect meaning. Spelling of simple words is correct, more complex ones not, with basic punctuation mostly accurate.
0 Data File Manipulation Writing characterized by being mostly a series of chunks taken verbatim from the Data File. Own language Short simple sentences may be accurate.

2 Overall coherence of text is very good. It is clearly on topic and congruent with the subject. Relations between main points and supporting points always clear. Strong cohesive ties used to enhance coherence when necessary.
1 Overall coherence of text is reasonable. It is generally on topic and congruent with the subject. Relations between main points and supporting points generally clear. Cohesive ties used generally enhance coherence although these may occasionally be fuzzy.
0 Overall coherence of text is weak. It is mostly off topic and not clearly congruent with the subject. Supporting details generally not clearly related to main points. Cohesive ties used contribute little to the coherence of the text. OR Not enough evidence in candidate’s work to be able to award ‘1’.
Task 8: Appropriacy = 2 marks
Marks Appropriacy
2 Register, tone and style generally appropriate to text through manipulation of parts of Data File and own language. Consistently demonstrates audience awareness.
