Aussie helpers

Last week we had the health expo in our college. Some student interviewed Sue Martin, who is an Aussie helper volunteer, about what they do. She explained to them about some questions such as what an Aussie helper is.

Aussie Helpers is a group of volunteers who help collect food and money to help poor farmers who live in the bush because they haven't got good crops and have had long periods of drought or floods and bushfires and also depression is a big problem and she told them about the outback, which means the bush, where these farmers live. Some farmers live very far away and some of them are proud and don't ask for help.The volunteers hear from other people. She called this the grapevine or bush telegraph, which is like a gossip chain.

HEALTH EXPO

Yesterday we had a health expo at our college. There were many stalls, such as the Red cross, asthma, the cancer council, blood pressure, alcohol and drugs.

Our class was helping. Some of my classmates sold the food while others gave information to people who came into the expo, but my job was to sell the raffle tickets. It was an interesting job for me because I practised my English with the customers. After that Nunung and I made an interview with the Asthma council and alcohol stall holder.

Excursions

Last Tuesday we went to the Chinese Garden and the Aquarium in Darling Harbour, Sydney. The first thing we did when we visited the Chinese Garden was to see the beautiful trees and some animals such as birds and lizards.

Then we visited the Aquarium where we saw many fish (little and big fish) like sharks and I saw a big crocodile. It was amazing because it was my first time to visit the Aquarium. After that we had lunch with my classmates and with our teacher. We had it at the Darling Harbour shopping centre opposite the Aquarium. We had a good time there because we were talking to each other in English.
