My excursion

Hi Rosa

I'm going to go to La Perouse with my husband on holiday for fish and chips and I'm going to the Botanic Gardens. Before I go there I felt very excited because I'll go walking along the beautiful beach and sit down on the grass under the sunshine with my husband talking friendly.

I'll go to a lot of restaurants with my husband to have delicious lunches. Because I haven't had time to do it for a while. So I really hope I have a great break. It 'll be very beautiful holiday.

MY OPINION

Every year we celebrate Harmony Day. That's great. But we shouldn't just celebrate. We should be tolerant and respect each other. Also we should make a compromise and reconcile with each other. Jesus said; Love your neibours. So we all live together without any racism or discrimination and have to love our neibours. We understand other's religions and cultures. We unite all various groups of people. So let's make Australia a paradise for all people to live in harmony.

My excursion

I went to Taronga zoo with my friend and her husband on the weekend. This was a very wonderful excursion.

In the morning at 9am we took the train to Town Hall. Then we walked to Circular Quay and transferred to the ferry. At 10am we arrived at the zoo. The entry fee is quite expensive. It cost me 40 dollars just for myself. But it was really worthy to go there. Because we could see various animals. There are elephants, giraffes, kangaroos, koalas, dingos, reptiles, gorillas, frogs, chimpanzees, wombat and red pandas. I like the giraffes very much. They are so gentle and the people can feed them. It was a lot of fun.

We enjoyed a picnic lunch together. We had brought shushi and shared it with my friend. After that we went back to the Botanic gardens and we walked along the shore. It was very nice weather to walk under the sunshine. Then we sat down on the grass and had a friendly talk. Around 5.30pm we caught a train back home.

We enjoyed the great day. I hope I can have another excursion like this one day.

Soul

I have been in Soul for 60 years. These days I miss it very much. I remember that I used to go to middle high school by electric tram. I miss my friends Jun hae sun and Lee bong ho, too. AI also miss my son, daughter-in -law, my grandson, my sister and my brother . I used to go to a department store with my second sister almost every day. When I studied pipe organ I practised three hours a day in the church. I accompanied every mass with the organ. I studied for 5 years, so I played with my feet very well. Playing the organ is very different to playing the piano. Our church has one thousands parishioners. We always had two funerals a week . Sometimes we had one every day.

At the time my husband passed away, I was very very sad and heart broken. I was wearing only black clothes. I didn't meet anybody and I didn't go anywhere. I stopped playing completely, so I lost my skill . Finally I realised if people are dead, they have mouths , but cannot speak, and eyes, but cannot see. They have ears, but cannot hear and noses, but cannot smell. They have hands, but cannot feel, and feet, but cannot walk. They cannot make a sound. These days I missed my late mother, my late father and my late husband .I regretted I was well and alive. But decided I would live more generously ,more helping other people, adn with goodness. I will thank GOD for all. Bless me.

The Stolen Generation

My opinion is that saying '' I 'm sorry'' is only words that without love and truthfulness don 't mean anything.

Aboriginal people used to live here . They are equal to all Australians. The government has to respect their culture and their customs and their rights. The government has to give them the same opportunities. All Australians have to live together but the colour of their skins shape is very different. We are all made from God. God loves us all the same and Blesses us.
