Ok! Well, I think the most unforgettable event in my life is that I joined the study tour to Australia when I was a high school student. It was what I had dreamed about for a long time. At that time, I was very happy for I would have the precious chance to practice my English and learn more about local’s culture. Everything seemed perfect, but the night before flying to Australia, my tears couldn’t help but flow down because I had never left my warm home and my families for such a long period. And at that very moment, I thought I will miss everyone in my family very much.

As expected, the moment I arrived in Sydney on the first day, I started to miss my mom. I kept asking myself why I had made such a stupid decision and I also heard the voice from the bottom of my heart saying that I don’t like the food in Australia and communicating with foreigners must be very hard for me, all because of my poor English. Everything in Australia was terrible even though all of my friends encouraged me a lot.

However, after three day of Sydney traveling and then I going to Queensland to begin my study in Australia, my previous opinion was changed totally. Happily I made a lot of friends at school. We have morning tea and had PE class together. The most unforgettable memory among this wonderful experience was I lived with two Hong Kong girls, and I can’t believe that we can match so much. We all like shopping, and our favorite color is pink. We chat and sleep every night no matter how crowded the room was.

Thanks to my school buddy, my host family and the two girls gave me such a special memory about my first experience of study tour in Australia. To be honest, I love the life in Australia actually. At the end of the tour, my tears seem to flow down again because it is really hard for me to let go of what I had in Australia. I hope I have chances to see them again in the future.

I have already cleaned the campus about a semester and I can’t stand it anymore. I have to get up early in the cold morning every day and ride my scooter to school. Do you know why I always go to school early? Just because I have a class named Labor Education in the early morning. I think it is the stupidest thing I have ever done as a college freshman.

Well, I really can’t understand what is the school's purpose for carrying out such a project. Save money which pays off the cleaner on campus? Mum… I think it is the most possible reason for that. Therefore, I have to clean the campus everyday but do you know the Labor Education is a required course. And the most unbelievable thing is that the Labor Education is zero credit. I can’t believe my ears when I heard the news.

Oh, the only thing I feel happy about the labor education is: I don't need to clean the campus when I turn a sophomore next semester. So I don’t need to get up early in the cold morning and ride my scooter to school in order to do the stupid thing. Wow, I am full of energy when thinking about I don’t have the Labor Education anymore!!!!!!
