Harmony Day

It's a good idea to celebrate harmony day every year,because Australia is an immigrant country. It's a multicultual society too. It has religious diversity and differences in the racial composition of its people. It's very important to stay in touch with the social diversity.
I think we must learn how to know about this cultural diversity and use common way for showing our personality expressive and share as an experience. It's important to practice the best of traditional Australia values, help each other becomes fair and faster friendships,also to improve our social cohesion and be peaceful living in harmony.
Finally I wish our everyday living can be in harmony forever.

My First Day in Australia

My first day in Australia was both happy and little bit worrying, because I didn't speak English well.
On the plane. It was nightime, I didn't sleep so I watched a movie.
when I saw my husband's friend John at the airport, there was a lady with him, John had to introduceher her to me, Iwas delighted to meet his wife because it was the first time I had see her.
Then they took me to their home, with was a long drive but I don't remember the name of the address where I lived in.
During the time, I saw a lot of houses with becatiful gardens, I liked the city it was clean; Iliked the blue sky and liked the air so fresh it nice to stay in. At home, we talked about our hometown, about business and many things.
However, I thought Australia is the best plance to live in the world, but it was a new country, where anything would be different for me, I realised my lifestyle would be exactly difficult, because I was a little bit nervous about my language. It's going to be challenging for me to spend my whole life in here.
That's all I hoped my new life would be wonderful.
