Sculpture by the sea

Ssulpture by the sea is an annual spectacular international art exhibition.Last thuesday our class(Amep.B) and (Amep.A) class went on an Excursion to Bondi to see Sculpture by the sea.

We took a train to Bondi junction at 9:16 in the morning.My husband was with me.There was something wrong. 3 of our friends went quickly got on the train but we could not do it, so we missed the train.We went to another platfrom got on the train.We were gossiping and laughing on the train.When we arrived there we saw that Lucy,Pei and May were waiting for us.We took a bus and arrived at Bondi Beach.

We arrived safely,some of our friends were buying hats and some of them were putting sunscreen on their faces.I was enjoying seeing that.After a short walk we arrived at Bondi beach and we started to take photos.But suddenly I found that my camera had no charge.I felt upset and my husband told me not to be upset because he had a good camera for taking photos.So,I smiled and started to take photos.The first thing I was"Alchemy".The artists put steel sheets and mirrors into the rock pools so the rock pools looked they were full of water after the rain.I was so surprished to see that sculpture.The other things that also attartcted me was"eye see you".There were many many sculptures that I liked very much.My own sculpture was no 59"embracing the plateau".So I was looking for it.My husband first found this sculpture and took a photo with me in it.It looked like a pregnant woman.But I didn't understand exactly what that sculpture meant.

We had lunch at Tamarama beach.After finishing lunch I called my teacher told her that I wanted to go because I had finished seeing all sculptures.She said"we could go".

We went to the bus stop.After 15 minutes the bus came and we got on the bus.We arrived in Kogarah at 2.30.We enjoyed that day.It was a great time!

Reaction about Annabel's story

Annabel's story is really a ideal story for me. Because I am also come from other country and my second language is English. If I want to improve my English I can do it. She reminds me that we can do something. I have a dream for my own future,I want to go to university like she and want to make a good career. She has done all of this. So,I think she is a good example for me.

Opinion text about my suburb

I think Kogarah is a good place to live in.When I first came here I lived in Lakemba but I didn't like that place so I moved Kogarah because it is really a nice place to live in.

Firstly,It is very close from the station.There are many many schools in Kogarah and also it has a hospital.The Brighton beach is very close from here.

Secondly,The communication system is very good in here and the sydney airport is very close from here.If anyone wants to go to city she can easyly do it.

Thirdly,It has many sporting facilities and library.There is a one good shopping centre and many other shops such as:Bangladeshi,Indian,chinese and so on.

For all this reasons,I prefer to live in this suburb.I never want to go any other place in sydney.

A terrible day!

It was raining last week and i was in my house.Suddenly the phone rang,but i couldn't receive the call because I was in the toilet.I thought it was my husband,when I wanted to call him I found that the phone was not working.I needed to buy some important things.But I had no umbrella so I couidn't go to the shop.I was feeling very sad and trying to call my husband but the phone was really dead.That was really a terrible day.

Physical punishment

Most parents use physical punishment to stop a child from mis-behaving and to make them well-behaved.The immediate effect of punishment may be to stop the misbehaviour but the long term effects is to increase the chances of worse behaviour like:depression,child abuse and other things.In my opinion physical punishment is not good for children.

Firstly, According to psychologists hitting children can be harmful for their development.Reports show that physically abused children are not confident in comparison to other children.If parents hit their children badly on the head.that might cause brain injuries.their IQ might be reduced.Also they can become bullies themselves or they can hit others people.

Secondly, New research shows that physically abusing children when parents are angry can result in serious physical damage.When parents can't control their temper they can be hit their children hardly so it causes injuries,brain damage or death.

Thirdly, It has also been proven that using physical punishment doesn't work with children.They use to this punishment so they don't fear or care about this.They know that it will happen.So the child become more rebellious.The cause of punishment can change their mind and it makes them have a bad relationship in the society.

To end up, The fear of physical punishment can encourage child to lie and cheat to avoid the punishment.That's not good for children.So,I think parents shouldn't use physical punishment.They have to think about their children future.

The Editor

Dear sir

Smoker Joe didn't convince me, because I am totally against his opinion.

Everyone should have Fresh Air and clean enviroment, so no one can have an excuse for their filthy habit.

Smokers don't have the right to annoy other prople. Cigarette smoke is very bad for people who suffered from breathing problems. The tax that you pay from smoking is coming back to you when you have health problems.

Smokers have to respect the others and should smoke at a smoke-free area.
