A day of sustainability



It was an early class today. I woke up at 7am and was busy getting ready for school.




I waited for the train for 5 minutes at Hurstville station. I boarded the train and alighted at Kograh station. Everytime I walked pass the confectionery and bakery shops located at the station, I always like to take a glance at the beautifully decorated cakes and tasty looking breads in the show cases. I like to look at beautiful things because they make me happy. Never-the-less, eating and sharing good food is another enjoyment for me.




When I reached school, Lyudmila is already at the sitting lounge waiting for the class to get started. She is always the earliest to reach school, and yet she lives the furthest amongst us. There is an idom that says "The early bird catches the worm". However, there is another idom (joke) saying "The early worm will be eaten by the bird". Hahaha... so is it good or bad about being early, give it some thought.




We had our first speaking lesson with Tricia today. We discussed in small groups, talking about topics on "Barriers in learning English" and how to overcome the barriers. We also looked into topic on sustainability, and had a fun time applying it to our daily life.




After the class has ended, some of us met up with Geeta at the "Student Support Center", which was situated inside the Library. We had an orientation to the environment, understanding the resources we are able to assess and use to improve our English. Therefore, I borrowed a book "Oxford English for Careers : Nursing". It's a book with wonderful visual aid and it comes with a CD. I will provide a review of this book once i am done reading it.




A better tomorrow everyday... Cheers!
