We have 4 schools to choose from. They are USyd, U of Monash, UTS, UNSW. But I want to go to USYD the most because its major is bachelor of design. I want to live in Sydney in the future.

I think game design in recent years is really suck.

I was there for about half a month

Openers:
– I want to talk about/tell you about…

As a student, the things that affect me most is my math teacher. I want to complain about my math teacher in gr. 9. At that time, my family was busy … so busy that they don’t even have time to take care of me.

I want to talk about when/one time when I met a traffic jam/I was stuck in traffic when I was just a kid. When I was about gr 2, I stayed up late the last night because we watched a movie in the cinema. We all got up late. At about 7 o’clock my parents…. on the/our way we met a really big/bad/severe traffic jam. ///At the time, I felt frustrated/angry/disappointed/upset, because I knew that this road always has really big traffic jams. It is designed badly. I had only 10 more minutes before I would be late./I had to get to school/arrive at school. But I knew that this distance would take me at least 30 minutes.///When I got to school, the class had already started and all the students and teachers stared at me. Then, after class, my teacher had a long chat with me about arriving on time. I explained myself and promised not to be late ever again.

Because the mistake of the road designer. We were hotly stuck between 2 cars. … Half of seven. So I was badly late. I was really upset that day because when I was a kid I really cared about the opinions of others.

my teacher chat me and finally know the reason. After that I never get up late. That’s all.

The thing I want to talk to you about is a scarf I made to give / for my friend. I made it all by hand and use silk and it took me a few weeks to finish it. Just because my friend send me a handmade gift on my bday…. because I’m not good on making things by hand. I watched many videos on the internet and learned it step by step. On her bday, and invite me to have party. At her home, I  gave her the scarf and she feels really surprised when she saw that. It was a nice day so we have a really good relationship and very good friend right now.

The thing I want to talk about with you is that when I was a kid, I should fold the clothes cleanly and quickly after I got up. Finally, I found her opinion is right. I was staying at home alone last week, and my can’t control me ever. So my lifestyle is really bad and I feel very uncomfortable when my parents can’t help me to clean the room. Once, I can’t find my credit card because I threw my clothes away. After that, when I find the clothes again, I can’t find the credit card in my pocket. So I was very scared to tell my parents the situation and I checked the rooms in my house one by one, but at last I still can’t find my credit card. Once I cleaned my room, I found it under the bed deeply. When my parents go back home, I didn’t tell them the truth. After that, I thought I should clean my room everyday and fold my clothes. that’s all.

Like most mothers, my mom nags me all the time about unimportant things. But among all of this, I was in a really big trouble last week. So one thing that mom is always on my back about/telling me is that I should fold all my clothes and keep my room clean. I never took her seriously/ I am always very annoyed because I think her opinion is useless, it’s such a small thing and I have more important things to do than fold some clothes. However, this week, I finally found that her opinion is right all along. I was staying at home alone last week, and my can’t control me ever. So my lifestyle is really bad and I feel very uncomfortable when my parents can’t help me to clean the room. Once, I can’t find my credit card because I threw my clothes around the room. After that, when I found the clothes again, I couldn’t find the credit card in my pocket. So I was very scared to tell my parents the situation and I checked the rooms in my house one by one, but at last I still couldn’t find my credit card. Once I cleaned my room, I found it deep under the bed. When my parents got home, I didn’t tell them the truth. And I didn’t tell my mom how right she was because she would keep talking even more after this. However, now I know I should clean my room everyday and fold my clothes. that’s all.

As you see, I’m a person I don’t know any laws/ I actually don’t know any laws because I have never been interested in this area. But I can think of only one law I have ever met in real life. It’s the law which benefits the older people.  I think it’s benefit for all the people like my grandma.
She got very bad ill , it needs high payment for the medical, and my parents don’t have enough money to pay so much medical payment. and I need to many money to study too. But through the law the govt place, it can decrease a lot of money to overcome the difficulty. When my grandma ill, the school she worked helped. .. She is healthy right now
