 Around the world﹕May the false be with you

【明報專訊】In the last issue, Pat asks Dr Panda to help her to save her little cousins Pam and Po, who were lured away by Eason. They sneak into Eason's academy.

“ Eason: May the false be with you! Now memorise all this! ”

“ Pat: Oh no! ”

“ Eason: Wait! Where are you going? I have chocolates! ”

“ Pam : Why do pretty ladies like us have to waste our time memorising your false statements? ”

“ Po: We can tell right from wrong. We are just tired of those supplementary exercises. ”

“ Pat: It's all my fault sweeties. Let's learn English by watching movies today. ”

“ Eason: Those are MY CHIPS! ”

“ Dr Panda: Want some chips? ”

Star Wars Day

It is Star Wars Day this Friday (4 May). Star Wars is a series of films that began in 1977 and has been a space adventure classic. With its penetrating influence over the world, in some far-flung regions there is even a Star Wars holiday of its own. Star Wars Day was created by the fans. It is a play on the famous line "May the force be with you", which sounds like "May the fourth (4 May) be with you". Fans around the globe celebrate this day in various ways, such as hosting movie marathons, sharing greetings on social media, cooking Star Wars recipes, etc.
