If I were a animal, I'd be a goldfish because I would be able to swim around the fish tank and I would feel free and calm. I think fish tanks must be very quiet and comfortable.

First day in Australia

My first day in Australia was so happy. My friend and my husband met me at the airport. I thought the freedom, fresh air and blue sky was so good. Then, we went back home for a good night sleep.

After that we visited our friends and family. We talked about the Australia lifestyle, culture and beaches. Then we were very happy and we realised our new life was in this country.

The city of Shanghai

Shanghai is a large city in China,at the back of the ''Yangtze River''and ''Huangpu River''. The name ''Shanghai'' means above the ''sea''. The city is divided by the Huangpu River. In winter it is freezing and in summer it is hot.
The population is large, because Shanghai is a modern city. It is the economic center of East Asia.There are many activities like sports and museums,shopping center banks buildings, fashions, colleges and universities.
Shanghainese live in ''shikumen'' residences, which are two or three-storey townhouses with a front yard. This is commonly seen in Anglo-American countries. Now they keep those ''shikumen''houses as historical sites. Today,people live in apartment buildings, they have a car and a good lifestyle.

An interesting holiday

Last year our family visited Singapore for 3 days. It was so good and beautiful. I really enjoyed it.
We travelled about 7 hours from Sydney to Singapore, when we arrived at the airport, we felt so comfortable and relaxed, because we thought the environment was so clean. We stayed in the Holiday Inn hotel,they had breakfast and 3 nights accomodation, and you could travel bus everywhere.
Singapore was English, Chinese, Indian peoples who all arrived in this place, so they are peaceful and friendly.
They spoke two languages,English and Mandarin.Now Singapore is a big world transport centre country. So the economy is going up quickly.
I like to visit different countries, but I haven't got enough money.

Harmony Day

Harmony day is 21 March each year. Australia's are welcoming people from every way.They can speak many languages, are not racist and people can live together.
I think Australia is a free and peaceful place. I don't feel worried about anything.
I would like to say people have a little discrimination in some cases, but not much. People believe in equality. It's a good country.
We were celebrating it in T A F E last week. Everyone was happy!

The Piano

A piano is an instrument for festivals,concerts and personal use. It is very popular as many people learn to use it, too.

The basic pianos often are designed for students or beginner learners. They can play great musical pieces.

Today the piano is really popular. There are lots of students who go to piano courses, which is good for musical opportunities,if they play basic piano already, then playing other musical instruments will be simple. It is a smart choice and good for entertainment.

The Stolen Generation

When I heard about the stolen generations, I felt so sorry for the Aboriginal children.They lost their families for a long time.But, today the Australian Government admits to say sorry, what means before the Government did wrong things,some of them for ever.This caused them great suffering.So today we can start a new future.
