I'm very happy because this evening I received nice pictures from Arnold.

Thanks for share with us because we can know you and at the same time we can envid a bit, because you had a great experience traveling to Australia.

In Malaysia

This photo is of my travel in Malaysia in 2004. It was taken in an Indian tourist spot in the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

Arnold with migrant students

These refugee students are mainly from some African countries because of wars happening back in their home countries. For humanitarian reasons, Australia is receiving such persons each year.These refugees are unlucky because of their terrible sufferings back home. In the meanwhile, they are lucky because they have already stepped on a land full of democracy and freedom.
This photo was taken in August this year when I visited Yeronga TAFE Institute in Brisbane, where these students were learning English.

In Brisbane. Australia, Sidney Harbour

In the background are world famous Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

With a massive guy at Darling Harbour, Sidney

Darling Harbour is the hottest spot among many Sydney's tourist attractions.No tourists will fail to pay a visit to this harbour. This photo is of a big guy and me. If you travel in the harbour, you will surely meet this kind guy, whose duty is to arrange tourists to board cruisers.

Hi, Diana,
Thanks to your painstaking efforts, now we students and faculty members of GE can use your blog as a forum to exchange ideas and get a better understanding of each other as well. In the meanwhile, I strongly believe that your blog also offers us a golden opportunity to practice our writing skills. Language learning is really rewarding and fun. In my opinion, when your are learning a language , you are going more or less into a different culture. Therefore, we should not noly learn the language well, but also the culture that dominates the language. Fortunately, we students meet a lot of qualified and experienced teachers here at GE. Personally, I think I have made some progress, especially in communication skills in English learning since I came here in March this year. However, I do know that I still need to spare no sfforts to push myself to do better in the long process of the language learning.But the vivacious learning experience at GE with the teachers is really memorable.Whatever the final result of my English learning is, I will surely cherish all of these deep in my heart and appreciate the teachers' help forever. I sincerely hope that I can meet some of them someday in the future in real life and express my hearty thanks to them face to face. Diana, thanks again for your nice blog and hope it can be better and better. With warmest regards

Arnold/China
