Joanne on the Gold Coast

Hey,

I'm Joanne Dorsch and I went to Australia two month ago. I have a billet, Chanel McDonald, she lives at Chevron Island, next to Surfers Paradise. She is 15old, she was born 12th of Mars 1996, one week after me, sh'es very nice. She has a big family: one brother and four sisters. her family is very funny and it's like a second family for me. My trip in Australia was just AMAZING! I saw and I did a lot of things for the first and the last time in my life, I'm very lucky. I touched kangaroos and I saw koalas, it's so cute. I saw an Aboriginal show, it's very interesting because it's a big part of Australian history. I went to Sydney, Byron bay, Brisbane and a lots of other places. Everything I saw it's very beautiful and interesting, it's like I'm in a dream. The school in Autralia is so different than in France because the students are freest and the lesson are smallest. During my trip, I'm with my freinds Karen and Simon. I made a lot of shopping with Karen and her billet, and I went to Wet and Wild and Movies World with Simon and Karen, we had a lot of fun together. The trip in Australia is so short but I remember Autralia all of my life.

Ta-ta Australia, Never Forget <3

Australians in Alsace

Sunday the 26th of June

The morning we slept until 11 am, we had lunch and after lunch we went in “La Volerie des Aigles” where we saw lots of eagles first it was eagles that hunt in the day, they made looping and passed one centimeter above of our heads it was awesome, then we visited the castle and my father explained what it was, what was in this place but he didn’t explain all because he doesn’t know a lot of things about the history of the France finally we saw the night eagles. Also we went in “ La Montagne des Singes ”, there was a game about monkeys and if you had all the answers right you could win a plush monkey , Alex and I did this game but I don’t think I won L. The monkeys were so cute, and we gave popcorn and they were cuter when they kept popcorn. After “La Montagne des Singes” we visited the fortified city of Chatenois. Then we came back home and I don’t remember what we did but this day was very fun.

At Byron bay I saw the sea, I buy the same swimming trunks that Joanne.We ate before the sea. After we go to Currumbin Wild life center. It was grea! I saw koalas, kangooroos, crocodiles, kookaburra, tasminia devil, snakes. I saw a mother kangooroo with its baby. In the park there was a lots of spiders, I scream a lot. After I saw a Aborigines show. It was good and original. A man did music with a didgeridoo and three others danced next him. We came back at 5.30 pm.

My best day in Australia

My best day in Australia was Friday 15^th April 2011. We went to Wet and Wild Park. The weather was very good and it was very hot. We went to the park with every French and Australian student. I went in many rides with Alan and his brother Andrew. We went in the Tornado, the Mammoth Falls, the Mach 5, the Aqualoop, the Aquaracer, the Wawes Pool and the Surf Rider. After we ate something in the park and we went home. We played table-tennis and Monopoly, I won the game. In the evening, I went to Skilled Park with my host family, to see a rugby match. Skilled Park is Gold Coast’s rugby stadium. The Titans from Gold Coast played against the Tigers from Sydney. It was great. The Titans were loosing 14 at 0 but finally they just won the match 20 at 14. It was a very good day with Alan and his family.

Why the Kookaburra laughs like that ?

A long time ago, in the Dreamtime, the kookaburra was very sad and alone because he didn’t have any friends.

One day, he decided to look for new friends, and he found lots of little insects which he had never seen. So, he followed them to their home. It was ants, and to see better, he put his head in the ant hill. But an ant went in his mouth and fell in his throat! And when the kookaburra wanted to speak, the ant saw a light and want to walk out, so that tickled the kookaburra and he laughed.

Since then, the kookaburra has lots of friends beacause he has a very funny laugh and he looks happy all the time.

Voici quelques questions pour vous.

1. Quel jour ouvrez vous les cadeaux?

2. Qu’est-ce qui se passe le six décembre?

3. Avez vous les chansons de Noël?

4. Avez vous l’arbre de Noël?

5. Avez vous un repas de Noël?

6. Qu’est-ce que vous voulez comme cadeaux de Noël?

From Cristina

Bonjour Valentine! Je m’appelle Cristina et J’ai 14 ans (mon anniversaire est le 3 de janvier).

J’habite à Thrapston avec ma mère, mon père et ma soeur, mais je vais au collège de Higham Ferrers. Mon collège va bien et mes matières scolaires préférées sont la philosophie, textiles, l’histoire et le théâtre. J’aime étudiant. Dans mes temps libres j’aime faire les patinage sur glace, (je vais à la patinoire le Dimanche) les dessins et écouter ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ ( j’adore ceci musical!). Mais ma passion plus grande est la mode. J’aime le monde de la mode, et les vêtements de marque. Mes marques préféré sont Dolce&Gabbana. Donc j’adore les grand magasins et les boutiques des vêtements de marque (comme Harrods à Londres, que est mon magasin préféré). Quand je serai une adulte je veux devenir une concepteur.

Je ne regarder pas trop la télé parce que je n’ai jamais le temps, mais mon films préféré sont,

‘The Phantom of the Opera’ (que je connais par coœur) ‘Jonny Stecchino’ et ‘Amelie’.

J’aime aussi voyager. J’adore visiter les pays étrangers (spécialement dans l’Europe). J’ai visité la France, l’Espagne, l’Irlande, la Suiss, l’Allemagne et je viens de l’Italie. Mais je ne peux pas attendre pour aller à Paris, parce que j’adore la France.

Au revoir ! J’èspere d’avoir de tes nouvelles bientôt!

Cristina
