2026 HKDSE writing questions

The writing questions from this year's Chinese exam held today have come up on the internet. The questions are translated as follows:

1. The desserts I see made this meal especially meaningful
2. I saw the life and light of nature in the city
3. The meaning of speaking (based on this statement: If you speak words which are good, you bring warmth, but if you hurt others in your speech, it is worse than a weapon)

What do you think of the difficulty compared to GCSE English writing?
