The Buddhist Mau Fung Memorial College is an aided co-educational school in the Tin Shui Wai district. During 2008-2009, Miss Chiu and Miss Lai designed a series of activities and assessments based on the social issues elective as a trial for the new HKDSE English assessments.

Before the actual assessment task, the teachers gave students a number of reading passages and information on a range of topics such as swine flu, domestic violence, and genetic engineering. The teachers also helped students prepare for their assessment task by teaching them to use the 'six thinking hats'. In the actual assessment, the teachers gave the students a discussion topic which was related to those mentioned during class. After the discussion, teachers also had a feedback session with the students. Teachers felt that students were more eager to evaluate how they performed themselves when they saw the connection between the assessment task and their learning. As a result, students were also more willing to take teachers’ advice.
