Last weekend,I stayed at home with my husband because he got flu.Fortunately,it was common flu without fever.He had a sore throat and coughed all the times which worried me for the whole weekend.
Beause of his illness,we couldn't do anyting we had planed.I prepared some porridge for him for that was the only food he want to have.He watched TV series on the internet and I talked with my friends on MSN.Everything was not so bad when one of my friends told me another friend of us who was one of my best friends in my university was announced to uterus cancer that day.I couldn't help crying at the momont which frightened my husband.
What cruel news!She is so young and planed to have a baby this year.She had no chioce but remove her uterus which meant she couldn't have baby any more.I wished I was in China and companied with her,but I couldn't.
It was such a sad weekend.I wish it never happened if possible.

Walk On The Rocks
Last Tuesday,our class had a excursion to The Rocks.It's my first excursion with my teacher and classmates.And also it was my first visit to The Rocks since I came to Australia two months ago.
Marion was so carefully that she printed the train time table for everyone to make sure all of us would not get lost.I met my classmates and teacher at Kogarah Station because I don't want to take the train for a long distance by myself.Another reason was I was afraid to lose my way for we had to change another train at Town Hall.
The Rocks is the site of the first colonial settlement in Australia.We started from the Writer's Walk which was from the Museum of Contempory Art to the Opera House,it was perfect for the literary buffs.Despite generations of change, traces of early convict settlements can still be found.The city’s oldest building, Cadman’s Cottage (circa1816), is also located here. Along with the Discovery Museum,we took a lot of pictures of the traces.The Argyle Cut and Susannah Place were visted after lunch,which excavated in middle 1800s.
We all had a wonderful time except one dispointed thing.It happened when we asked the 'Capiton Cook'whether we could take a picture with him,he pretended can't hear us,but just promote his sales.What a spoilsport!

ANZAC Day
ANZAC Day is probably Australia's most important national occasion,which is on 25th April each year,to remember the brave persons who have served our country in times of war.ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.Also,there is a bridge called'ANZAC Bridge'which marks the same.The Australia soldiers are called Diggers.The pride the Diggers took in those forces endures to ANZAC Day.There were many heros from those wars likeSimpson and his famous donkey named'Duffy'.
Every year,there is a ceremony follow a pattern which is familiar to generations of Australians.It may include the following features:the Ode,prayer,laying of wreaths.All of the activities show the Australian's thanks to the people who fought for their country.And the flowers and wreaths they lay at the bottom of a war memorial is also a way of saying they have remembered those brave people.

My new life in Australia
Australia’s Aboriginal population was only about 400,000. And today, over 20 million people live here. Migration has been the main driver for this change. It is said in New South Wales, four out of every ten people are either migrants or the children of migrants.
I am a new migrant, migrated on a Spouse visa, had arrived from China's Zhejiang province only a month earlier. The decision to move to Sydney was not as good as made. First,Leaving my parents behind would be difficult for me.Second,I must give up my job as a librarlian which I loved and have worked for near 7 years.My husband supported me all the way,and I managed to pass through all the difficulties.
The main problems that arises with new migrants like me in Australia are mainly language and communication problems. This prevents me from job seeking and fitting into the society.I tried to send my resume to many companies,but they refused me.
Some of my friends found work in the factoris, enduring long hours, poor conditions - and so far, low pay.I’m lucky,my husband has a job in the bank,I can study as well as looking for work without survival pressure.
I don’t know whether I can find a satisfied job,but I know I can’t live on my husband’s work forever. For life is easier for a couple,but more difficult for a family.We must pay the mortgage,raise the kids and many other cost.It may takes me a long time to suit the environment here.I would like to learn something new,for my self,and for my new job.I believe the old saying,where there is a will,there is a way.I can earn a better life if I have a active life attitude as well as hardworking,not just for live.

A Day to Aquarium
It was in the first week I've arrived at Australis.The day before that Saturday,my husband asked whether I want to have a look at the aquarium.He said I must be like it.I sound interesting.
So we got up early in the next morning to take the train.For we thought it must be difficult to park in the city.And my husband wanted to show me the city view.I was excited for my first railway experience in Australia.We got off at the central station.There were so many differences from what I had seen in China when I saw the Town Hall,the Queen Victoria Building,and all kinds of cafe.
After walked about one hour,I felt very tired,beacuse I had worn a pair of slippers.My husband encourged me to insist on ,there was only 10 minitues left.Ok,everything would be worth at the moment I seeing the lovely sea animals,I thought.
Finally,we reached the"destination".My husband told me to wait for a while,then he found someone to ask the way."Now you can imagine the wondeful trip."The confident man said.
"Excuse me,would you please tell me where is the aquarium?"
"Oh,you must be joking,man.It's in Darling Harbor,here is the Circular Quay!"
That was my exhausted and frustrated day to aquarium.
