  學校行政亂過亂葬崗，和尚擔遮，無法無天；學生公開試成績不堪聞問，學生打架互片，多過去麥當勞；三朝兩日，街口的超級市場陳經理就拉着同學見校長，不是偷香口膠就是偷朱古力。 [Literary Cantonese, trad.]

  The school administration is utter chaos; there is absolutely no respect for law and order. You would not bear to hear the students' grades on the public exam. The stduents are in fights more often than going to McDonald's. Every other day, the manager of the supermarket at the end of the street Mr. Chan would bring a student to the principal's office; if it's not stealing gum, it'd be stealing chocolate.
