Finding a good restaurant

Today , we had to find a good resaurant to have a party for a friend from Tailand.
So, our team went to the Oxford st.
The first time we couldn't find any resaurant. But soon we found many resaurants.
We took a picture which the menu displayed in doorways or got 3 pieces of menu.
Maybe we dropped by about 10 resaurants.
We was confused at choosing the best place. Indian resaurant or a nice atmosphere's
Our choice was Indian resaurant.

But we had to discuss with another team to choose ONE !!
Finally, another team's place was selected.

If we have a chance , I want to go there to have a meal together.
Let' go ! ~Mates ~~

Hello, Yu-ri. How are you? I heard you're working at Korea-air. I'm enjoying my life in Sydney.
I thing my English has improved more than before.

Anyway, if you want to study English especially grammar and listening, I recommend you to try watching movies or TV programmes to improve listening skill as well
If you are watching a movie for the first time, you should watch a movie with subtitles because, if you don't understand what's happening and the movie's meaning, you will be bored and you wouldn't want to watch it again. I know a good book which is useful in studying grammar. It's called "Grammar in Use" you can choose your level properly. I also studied grammar using this book.You wil get better for sure. Good luck

Bye, see you in August



Your friend

Costoms house


We went to the library to find a lot of information. In my case, while I was fiiling out the form, I found a book which I'm interested in marketing. So, I'm going there on saturday to borrow this book.

Customs House Library


What a beautiful library it is!
It's my first time to visit the City of Sydney Library.
This beautiful place offers a lot of the computer catalogue to finding what you are looking for.
And,it's wonderful to read book in this library.
Next time dont forget to pick a book to read. :)
We went to Art Gallery of new south wales for learn how to discribe artworks. I chose The Sons of Glovis II be my subject, because the panting is too said so caught my eye. I like this Gallery and will come again, there are too many wonderful artwork and it worth to spend time in there.

How Work on Independent Learning

Dear Joey

How are you going? It's good to know that you are doing well and your family are,too.
So are you plainning to do something,recently? travelling? or want to visit me in Australia! I can be your tour guide as good as i can,because I've been Australia for 5 months, and I join in the another course called "English for life",so that I learn something from it.
Waiting for your news!

By the way, you asked something about learning English by independent and how work on
Gammar and Listening. In my opinino, you can buy a gammar book to help your knowing tenses, for example, past simple, present simple and present perfect and so on. Also,you can practice and use it in this book to make you understand why it is used like that. And, it's important to have a good dictionary to help your learn that word of formed and irregular formed. Other one, i think you can try to listening to radio, TV which speaking in English, Movies with subtitle and talking books. Before you listen to those which i mentioned, make sure that you can know some information about what you are going to listen to, that's it, you will easy get to know them all.

I hope those what i suggest to you can help you a lots on learning, if you have a some problems just let me know, ok?

Keeping in touch

best wishes,
Vicky

Hyde park barracks


We know more about convict history, why they come to here, what the life in Australia 200 years ago....

Sydney opera house

We learn how to write a guidebook entry.

The Rocks Heritage Trail ^^Y


Being a tour guides gave me a little bit hard time to understand the place first, which i would explain to my five beautiful tours, and then led them to see some great spots, let them could
get to know more about those.

But, you would get more from it when you are really puting you in something. So, it is a good experience to be a guide, you need to use some words which you know and everyone need to
pay attention to listen to you ha....it's fun :P

And, sometimes you can figure it out that runing out of the plan which we thought ,then we can
feel something special from what happened.

Those sights were that I haven't been before, even if , I've came to Australia for twice.
So, it's a good way to learn English and have a good time in Australia from English for life.

I can't wait tomorrow where we are going to!!!!!!!

Cafe


First day we went to cafe in Waverton. Nice talk and free coffee, we got to know each other and met karen's friend from Germany, she have beautiful red hair and very nice.

At Observatory point on our tour of the rocks

Tour from Customs house to Dawes Point

We went to the rocks to have a experience as a guider.
Sometimes we lost our way so we had to have a hard walking.
But it was very good time.

I can know beautiful place. ( especially, Pub where Caren likes)
If I go to there again, I will definitely go to pancake shop to have a lunch or dinner.

I hope that photo which was taken was good.
I will wait for someone who update photo on the blog.

The lovely ladies at Hyde park barracks

Welcome!

Welcome to English for life, a new course that lets students out of the classroom to use their English skills in the real world.
So far the students have visited the Sydney opera house, the Art gallery of NSW, the rocks, Hyde park barracks museum and they have been shopping on Pitt St and been to the cinema,
not exactly your normal day at English college!
This class aims to let students learn and practice their english in ways that they can really use outside of the classroom, and enjoy themselves at the same time.
