Family
Hello. Our names are Emma
and Emily, and we are sisters. Our family has five people,
our parents, little brother and ourselves. We live with our
family in Melbourne, Australia. Since the yard in our house
is quite large, we can keep many pets. In fact, we have a
dog, a cat and many gold fish. To stay healthy, our dad goes
for a walk with the dog every morning before he goes to work.
Our father’s name is John and he is a lawyer. In his spare
time, he likes to do things like read books, and talk to about
politics with his friends. Our mother’s name is Sarah. She
was a teacher, but last year, she went back to university
and now she is a doctor. Her hobbies are painting and going
to art galleries. Our little brother’s name is Tom and he
is 11 years old. Although he doesn’t study very often, because
he is a fast learner, he is very smart. He is interested in
cars and playing video games with his friends. Because our
parents are always very bust, we can’t do things with our
family often. But once or twice a month we go and watch the
football together. Furthermore, to celebrate birthdays we
always go to a restaurant with our family.
Mum
was born in France, and her parents still live there. But
dad’s parents live in England. 3 years ago, during the Christmas
holidays, we travelled around and world and visited both our
grandparents. It was very fun and interesting. Although we
often talk on the phone, we still miss them very much. We
plan to go again at the end of this year, but have not decided
whether or not to go to France or England. We would like to
go to both.
Emma’s self introduction
My
name is Emma. I am 16 years old and in year 11 at a girls’
school. At school, apart from Japanese, the subjects I am
studying are English, literature, maths, chemistry, and history.
Because I think it is very interesting, history is my favourite
subject. Every day, after I get up at 6:30 and eat breakfast,
then mum drives my sister and me school before she goes to
work. But most of my friends have to catch the train and tram.
At school, I am in the tennis, cricket etc clubs. We practise
one or twice a week. Because my sister also loves tennis,
every Saturday from 9:30 am to 11:00 we practise together
at the tennis club near our house. Although tennis is fun,
my favourite sport is cricket. I love it because it is an
exciting team sport. My favourite cricket player is Adam Gilchrist.
He is Australia’s wicket keeper and a very skilled batsman.
Last year, the Cricket World Cup was in South Africa. Because
Australia won, I was very happy. Although I like playing cricket,
by I prefer to watch it. Although my sister and mother dislike
cricket, because they think it is boring, I often watch it
with my father and brother.
Emily’s self introduction
My name is Emily, and I turned 17 in January. I am in year 12 and go to the same school as my sister. at school, I am studying English, Japanese, French, geography, drama and biology. Since I am very interested in drama, it is my favourite subject. In fact, I have been going to after school drama class since I was 7 years old. Furthermore, I am the captain of the drama club at school. Apart from drama, I love music. I have been learning the violin for 8 years. I practise for about one hour every day after school. But because my violin exam is next month, my teacher said I should practise for around one and a half hours every day. Because I must try my hardest at studying this year, I don’t have much spare time. However, sometimes, I do things like watch movies and go to the beach with my boyfriend or friends. My boyfriend’s name is Simon, and he lives in the house next door to us. I think he is a considerate and good-looking person. Since he is also in year 12 this year, and very busy, we spend less time together than before. But I hope next year we go to the same university.
Melbourne
Our hometown is a place called Melbourne in Australia. Melbourne
is capital city of Victoria and it is Australia’s second biggest
city. The population is about 3 million people.
Melbourne is very lively
and always appears to be fun. Because there are lots of various
things to do, the number of tourists coming to Melbourne is
increasing. In fact, Melbourne is a very popular place. Therefore,
I would like to talk a little about Melbourne.
Firstly, Melbourne is
located in the heart of the city. Lots of foreign tourists
like to come to Melbourne to do things such as seeing famous
buildings, go to old monuments, etc. In fact, there has been
an increase in things such as souvenir shops, hotel and restaurants,
etc.
Melbourne probably has
a lot of popular places. For example, various places such
as Luna Park, Rialto Tower, Great Ocean road, etc. However,
I think the famous place, which lots of people want to go
to is Crown Casino. Here, you can do things such as gamble,
watch new and old movies, eat various foreign food, go shopping,
etc. There’s a lot of time to do these various things. Furthermore,
even if you cannot find a hotel or motel, etc, you may reserve
a Crown Casino room and stay there. It’s extremely convenient
but may be a little expensive too.
In conclusion, if you
have never come to Melbourne, you better come and you can
probably enjoy yourself.
Dream--Emily
After I graduate from high school, I want to go to Melbourne
University and the course, which I want to study, is business.
But because recently the numbers of people who go to University
have increased, it’s very hard and I am not sure whether or
not I will get in. Then, I plan to manage my own business
but I still haven’t decided what kind of business I want to
manage.
However, if I don’t get into
the course, which I want to study, I may travel overseas again.
The various places I would like to travel to are Japan, Hong
Kong and Paris etc. Furthermore, I can do things such as sightseeing
and it would be good if I can learn about other country’s
culture and customs.
Apart from studying and travelling,
my future dream is to do things together with my family. Recently,
in society, people usually spend their free time working.
Therefore, they don’t have time to do things with their family.
Because of this reason, I think that family is the most important
priority. According to my parents, the years are going to
pass by very quickly and we better make the most of the time
that comes.
Basically, I would like to live
a happy life. Especially, because there is nothing that is
more important than family.
Dream--Emma
In the future, I would like to become a famous actress. When
I was small, my dream was to become an actress because I watched
a lot of American movies. In my free time at home, I often
did things such as dancing and singing songs, etc. Furthermore,
if new songs came out, I always try to buy it. Usually, while
I am doing my homework, I love to listen to music. It is very
comfortable. According to my parents, I appear to be good
at singing.
At school, I am the drama captain
and after school I always go to drama classes. Now, because
there is a musical called ‘Grease’, I must practice everyday.
So, after I graduate from high school, I would like to go
to America to become a famous actress.
However, if I don’t become an
actress, I may become a drama teacher. Because I have a very
good drama teacher, I have an interest in drama. I have ever
been to a musical. In fact, I like to often go to Melbourne’s
musical. I think it’s always fun and interesting.
