Welcome to our Blog!




Hi Class! This is our Blog!! Remember what a blog is.
Just go to this link and click on "Take a quick tour".

In class we have been discussing the topic of Multiculturalism, as part of the Module "Australian Systems and Culture 3". We all come from different parts of the world, we value diversity and the contribution that everybody makes to the Australian society.

Hanan



My name is Hanan Rahal. I was born in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. I came from Lebanon three months ago due to the war. It was very hard to leave my family behind, especially my daughter, her name is Roxanne. She started school in October. She is in Year 9. She loves Australian music. She likes dancing and swimming. She would love to have a car but she is too young. She is looking forward to coming to Australia soon.
I have a degree in Early Childhood. I worked as a teacher for six years teaching children between 5 to 6 years old. I missed my children, my family and my daughter a lot.

At the moment I am learning English at TAFE in Kogarah. I enjoy learning English because English is the international language in the world and I can use it in Lebanon, too

My name is Bella. I come from China. I have been in Australia for nearly one year. Before migrating to this country, I had been working in both financial and accounting fields for more than ten years.

I like travelling so I have been to a few Asian countries and visitied the most famous places in China. During the tours, meeting people from different backgrounds broadened my view of the world. Now that I am living in Australia, in a multicultural society, I have the opportinity to experience this process first hand.

I would like to continue travelling around the world. I would like to visit the States and Europe. This is my next goal.

After settling down here, I strongly realise my English is not enough for me to cope with living. Although I have been studying English since I was a high school student, my language skill still has a big gap with local speakers. Therefore, the best way to improve the language level is getting back school for intensive English training. It is supposed my classmates hold the same motivation. Hopefully all of us make progress by studying hard and extensive communication.

Good luck in your future, everybody!

Alison




My name is Alison. I come from China. I have been in Australia for four years. I like Australia but I feel homesick sometimes. I think that it is very hard to live in Australia without speaking the language, so I need to work hard to learn English well.
I am a mechanic engineer. I spent four years studying at Tianjin University. When I finished university I changed my mind and decided to study fashion design. A few years later I graduated as a fashion designer. I worked in the Fashion Stage Clothes Company for five years in China. I was very successful in this new career. Not only I learnt about fashion, but also about music, different cultures and people. During these years I was very busy. I never had time for a day off. I worked seven days a week, more than ten hours a day. I enjoyed my job a lot.
I have been studying English for two years. This is a real challenge for me because English is not easy and it takes time to learn it well. Although sometimes I feel very frustrated, I am determined to succeed.
