G'day!!

G'day! Everybody!
I've left the class about a month and I miss you very much!!!
On 4th November, my husband, my children and I caught the airplane at 22:45 in Sydney airport. My children were so excited to board in the cabin but just two hours later they all fell asleep because it was midnight. It took about 8 hours to fly to Hongkong airport and it was 4am in the morning, so we had to stay in airport until 7am to catch the first train to the Zhonggang Pier. We arrived in Zhonggang Pier at 7:30 then we caught the first ferry at 8:30 to Jiangmen.
It's my husband's home town and my parents in law are living there. It took us about 2 hours to get there. On 5th November at 12pm we finally got home, after all trip we all felt tired and slept all day.

Australia And Me

Sydney is the bigest city in Australia and it located in the east coast of Australia. It has the bigest population and it is very beautiful. There are four seasons in Australia, Spring ,Summer, Autumn, Winter. But there are only two seasons in the north of Australia, wet season and dry season. The most popular dish in Australia are Fish finger and Chips and the traditional food and drink are BBQ and Beer. The currency called Dollar and cents. There is a most common cap in Australia--Akubra. The best place in Sydney is beach, most of people like going to the beach to enjoy their free time. And there are many beautiful gardens in Sydney with a lot of flowers, such as Cemillia Gardens. It is more difficult to find a job here than in China, because the big proplem with Chinese people is languages. And it is absolutely very expensive to live here!Vegetable and Fruit are expensive, like banana at the moment is rip off!!
I have been here for one and an half years with my family.I can speak Chinese and a little English. By the way, I knew a few of aborigine words--Uluru, didgeridoo, corroborees. I have many hobbies, such as reading, watching TV, go on internet, sleeping, eatting in bed, tarevlling and shopping. In my free time I will do what I can and what I want. Some time I like watching spotr match in TV. My favourite place in Sydney is around The Opera House, there I can see The Opera House, The Hourb Brige and The Daring Hourb where have beautiful view. I like it very much and I'd like to settle dawn in Australia. I like most of Australian culture, many Australia people are very polite, they have never been to the other people's house without permission and they have never queue jumping. My favourite drink is Coke and my snack is Chips. In future I'd like to learn more English, when my English good enough I want to find a job to make life better. In my dream I want to have a big big house then I want to treavl around the world.

Cemillia Gardens

On September 27.2006, our class has an excursion to Cemillia Gardens.
In the morning of 9:25 we met at Kogarah station and caught the train at 9:39 to Caringbah, we arrived Caringbah about 10:20. Then we had a walk about 20 minutes from station to Cemillia Gardens. It was a nice day! The sun was so shine and the air was so fresh! We walked and talked, it seem like a second we got there!
What a beautiful garden! Everybody shouted!! Many trees around the garden and many flowers bloomed everywhere. We roamed in the shade and admired the flowers and took photos each other. Then we had a small picnic, we shared the food which we brought from our home. After than we played English Games and badminton.
The time passed so faster, it was time to go, everybody was happy and tired. We walked along the street to the station which we took it to the garden before. We caught the train at 2:10 to Kogarah station. We all had a good time!!

But we sure that he could be very content of his life because he has done a lot of things for animal he wanted. He let us know that our life is a finite, we have to do what we want rignt now!Don't let the time run through your fingers!

LET ME SEE

What an amazing collage!! What are they? Let me see---
I think that the picture located in the top left side is an outdoor-light. The picture under the outdoor-light is a footage of The Opera House and The Harbor Bridge and it printed in an umbrella! There are two pictures under the umbrella, the picture on the left side is a clothes and the right one is a spoon. The biggest picture is a digger and it is in a glass of the Pylon's window. The picture in the top right of the collage is a swimming pool and it is in the top of a hotel near The Harbor Bridge. There are two pictures under the swimming pool, the left one is a building near the Pylon and the right one is a photo of the Harbor Bridge, some people were climbing the top of the Harbor Bridge. The picture under the digger have some snow globes. The picture located in the down right side is an impersonator, I think he was actting as Captain Cook. There are two pictures between the snow globe and the impersonator, the top one is a necklace and another is a rivet. The last picture down the bottom of the collage is a part of the glass which around the Pylon Lookout.
