Hi, everyone. I am Yuki from beautiful country Japan. I would like to share about myself.  I have been in Sydney for about a year and I am going to graduate from EC on this Friday. My feeling at the moment is I am going to miss this campus. Because I have been studying English in Sydney for a year so I am the senior student of this campus and became a part of furniture. I have done a lot of assignments, met plenty of people and communicated with them. Most of my Sydney memories I have had  are here. One of the reason why I do not want to graduate is people are utterly brilliant. They have a passion for helping students furthermore, the other reason is multicultural students. It is undeniable that this school is awesome for everyone who are totally engrossed in meeting new people and learning other cultures. This compass offers completely good quality education and other significant things. I am blissfully happy with being this student. Thank you for everyone and everything , what you have done for me.

I do recommend people who are going to study English in Sydney to choose this campus.

Hi, my name is Eddy Park.
Today, I am going to describe myself.
I have been indulged myself in fashion since I was young.
I am absolutely passionate about designing clothes and how to make cool outfits.
I always make daily outfit list.
What I love about the fashion is tone of colors and how people express about their fashion taste.
However, I admit I have less passion about fashion more than before due to I am glued to my smartphone.
I spend most of my time with my smartphone and I know this is the worst habit I ever had in my life.
I am trying avoid to look at the screen all the time.
Also I am figuring out how can I spend the time efficiently.
I am more likely to go out for refreshing myself.
Therefore, I will go out more and more to see the nature and hangout with more people.

I don't claim all my interests are useful or good. For example ,I glue to the TV screen usually watching soccer.Everyone needs get relax sometimes.

Eventually , What I love most about passions is follow them until achieve my goals. That's sometimes just happiness, sometimes peace or built good relationships.

Hi guys. I'd like today to talk about myself what I like doing in my free time.   I'm most passionate about travel and also I've been to many different counties.  I'd been studying English in UK (London) for 3 months  before I decided to study English in Sydney . That means I'm totally into English. The second of my hobbies is walking around the city and listening to good music especially here. I also take a keen interest in natural sciences and read specialised literature a lot. Every night I read at least 20 pages. only sometimes I watch the idiot box :) My biggest weakness is swiss chocolate I can eat it all day.
To be honest I used to play tennis but unfortunately I don't have much free time now.

Hello! My name is Catalina and I'm a creative engineer. I like to call me like that because I haven't decided yet if I'm more an architect or an engineer, I studied both. I'm passionate about construction, when I'm walking around a new city I'm hooked on detailing buildings or beautiful spaces. These lasts years I've learnt a lot about sustainability and I feel passionate about it, I'm totally awared about climate change and how from my profession and lifestyle I can contribute to decrease the effects. That's the main reason why I'm motivated to study English, to find a job and be a leader in sustainability construction. Most of my day I'm dreaming and planning, specially these days at home. I am completely engrossed in reading English literature, and every day I read about leadership, management, development worldwide, or travels. I have a weakness for Netflix, so I decided to watch TV as low as possible because I can be glued until late. I'm keen on travelling as much as I can, I have been in many places and my favorites are exotic and remote, because there are less crowded and I think that "my own story" might be more interesting. I'm a sociable person but this is a little bit difficult in English, I love to be the person who reunite friends and remember them all the time how important is to laugh and mantain the friendship despite the busy life or job. Last but not least, my family are the most important thing for me over everything and I talk with them often. :)

To be honest, I worked as backer in Korea before I decided to come to Melbourne. When I was  young, my mother used to bake for me and brother, and I also made with her due to I was really enjoyed doing with them. A further, I actually have too many hobbies. For example, watching movie or drama, listening music, singing, making  collections and exercise, etc. When I have free time, I usually organise my stuff like albums for storage space on the internet. Because I'm often left upload pictures on social network service at that time, haha. And I've collected the poster, including movies, shows, exhibitions. Due to so many hobbies, that makes me happy or stress. On the other hand, I have a weakness, I'm always thinking losing weight because I like eating. It might be a good or bad, since I can make thing whatever I want. Therefore, anything doesn't matter that I go somewhere if there is no good restaurant or cafe. All people in the world are concerned about COVID-19, I really hope at this moment, everyone would be safe and stay calm. Let's enjoy staying at home..!

Hey guys,

since I'm in Sydney I'm really addicted to Tim-Tams!

I really love meeting with my friends and going out. The thing which is most important in my life is my family. So I'm very happy that I was finally able to visit my aunt and my cousin here in Sydney. I hope I can visit them again maybe in a few years or meet them on their holidays in Europe. My cousins son is 4 years old and I'm totally hooked on him, because he is so cute!!!

In my free time I like to go swimming or going to the fitness center. Because of this, I'm really looking forward to going to the surf camp next week. I hope then the weather will be better.

I'm also very interested in reading books, especially thrillers. Also when I'm watching movies, they have to be action-movies or horror-movies, because I don't like romantic movies.

In october I'm starting my masters degree in chemistry and I hope it will be more interesting than the last semesters.

Hi I'm from Russia not from Germany. And it's my last week here in Sydney, I'm glad that soon I will return home cos I'm feeling a bit homesick to tell the truth. Here I've visited a lot of interesting places like Blue mountains, whale watching and so on.  I'm passionate about  swimming, also I like reading. In fact it doesn't matter which book I read. Right now I am reading Game of Thrones and I'm really exited about it. Additionally, I'm totally into watching films, and it doesn't matter what kind because I enjoy them all. I believe watching films is such a good way to go into the thoughts and minds of someone and understand their psychological patterns and social behaviors. It also helps you learn vocabulary and pronunciation quite effectively. Nice to meet you all.

Hey my great classmates :)

My name is Tomoya from Japan.

Anyway, what I'm missing the most now is my best roommate.....He just has gone back to his country, Taiwan :((

However, I don't have to be sad because I'm going to see him again this December. So now, it's time to study harder than before.

If I may say so, I'm absolutely passionate about studying English.

I know that my English is not that good, but I take a keen interest in talking with you guys in English. I usually find myself having enormous difficulties when it comes to speaking.

Sometime I cannot share my true feeling or thoughts. It makes me so sad. That's why I have to study....

To describe myself, I have a weakness (sweet tooth) for clothes. I do love shopping on my free time, but you know, everything is extremely expensive in here.I cannot handle it...By the way, please feel free to speak to me. Let's go for a coffee or something and practise English together!

Hei everbody

I`d like to be in my sport club and do a lot of athletics. After a hard training session, we`d like to go for a drink in the nearest bar to meet each other again and have a discussion about the next training and a lot of other things. For me sport is really necessary and reduce my stress from my school day and others. So I do a lot of sport and think I do sport very well for example golf, tennis, climbing, snowboarding, slack line, basketball, soccer...I don`t like to focus just on one sport I`d like to be an all-rounder and athletics give me the basic condition for the other sports.I really like to try out everything and be able to practice this very well. It doesn`t have to be something in sport or play a video games. It could be learning a new language etc..

Meeting other friends and family is necessary too as well. All this stuff needs the most of my free time. I`m really get sad if I haven`t enough time for my spare time activities. Reasons for this misery could be to much things that I have to do for school, things that I have to learn or to much part-time work in my home office as a draftsmen.

Hi my name is Joo from Korea. I came to Australia 7 months ago for studying English and for going to college. Today, I will tell you my interests and passions.
When I have free time, I usually cook something and watch YouTube, go outside and walk around a park, and chat to my friends. What I love about YouTube channels is desserts, I try to turn on English subtitles. Additionally, I normally walk around the central park, because it is the nearest place to my home. Moreover, I usually like to use phone a lot but I want to rarely use it, so I started to walk. I enjoy my life in Sydney but sometimes I feel lonely, as a result I keep in touch with friends who stay in Korea.
I want to go to college after graduation which name is BMIHMS. So I try to find and see about hospitality management words. If you see this memo and have a plan to go to same school, let's become friends:)! Thank you for seeing and have a nice day.

I have a burning desire to become after my bachelor of arts a master of science next year. One day I want to work in a big company and to be a successful business woman.

In my life, I am interested in traveling, food, technologies and meeting new people. I think that people have only one life and they don't know when is the last day for them. So I will do whatever I want, wherever I want to go, whatever I want to eat and I will do it when I have opportunity. I love to travel to find the inspiration for my life in future because I can see how different people from different places live, is their life style is, how their country is going. I try to understand as much as I can and try to adapt with my life style to get the most powerful result.

Hello, my name is Yukako from Japan.

I like to eat food so always I'm thinking about foods. My last roommate also liked to eat, so we often went to eat something. There are many delicious restaurants in Sydney, for example Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnam food etc...

I like all of that but especially I like Thai food!! It's so nice!! Before I came to Sydney I didn't like so much because there are few Thai restaurants in Japan, so I didn't try Thai food. But now, I eat it about once per week at least. What I love most about Thai food is Phat thai. It's a kind of noodle and not spicy so I can eat all. When we shared salad, I forget the name, I was very surprised because it was too spicy!! I can't eat much just a little, but it was also yummy. I like Thai food so much!!

But i still have an other passion about drawing especially fashion so I began to run after it since high school first grade.

And now, when i graduated high school i have change i mind to trying another course in the University and that course also have a little bit concerned about art and creativity, that is Event Management. I'm completely eager because in my future school, they will let students go to other countries to intership.

And btw, I'm cared of reading books :">

I am absolutely passionate about soccer, since i started played it has improved my feelings. For me it's not just a game, you must be the best and think about your faults and mistakes . however i'm Brazilian so my belief is that i can make the magic and enjoy like a child that's the difference of our soccer if you compare with the others, because we want to enjoy, make fun and jokes on the matches and you could just see this if you go to my country.

The thing that i hate when i`m playing soccer here in Sydney is because they don`t know how to play correctly, i know everybody is from a different country due to that they have different styles but sometimes it's so simple, thus they don't know that they make the same mistakes all the time.

Hi Jerry

What's up buddy? So you are coming to my country? Nice man! I know exactly the place where we should go.

We will go climbing in the beautiful rocks next to the Andes. I know you like snowboarding so we are going to the best place in Chile to do this. It is called Valle Nevado and is close to the city so don't worry about the distance. In order to survive in the mountains, you must have good shoes, though :)

After this exciting week we will go to Maitencillo. For me, this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Chile to relax and see the best sunset. We can do surfing, too, with my two beautiful friends, Sofia and Maria Juana.

In the home, you don't have to worry too much but you must bring "smiles" ha ha. In Chile, we want to be happy all the time :)

So see you soon here OK!

Cheers!!

Hi, Jerry. How's it going?

I'm really happy to hear that you're coming to my country. Before you come to Japan, I would like to give some advice and tips that you should know. Actually, there are lots of cultural differences between Japan and Australia so you might be surprised by them.

Anyway, when you visit Japan, I really recommend visiting in spring season. In spring there are many Cherry Blossoms. They are very beautiful and fantastic. Also, you can eat packed lunch under the Cherry Blossoms in the park or somewhere. It's called "Hanami". It is a traditional festival in spring season.

I'm very happy you're coming to my country.

Catalunya is a small country between France and Spain, and we have a lot of things to do!

You should come in spring or summer, because we have a really nice beach, lakes, and mountains.

In my country we are bilingual, but you should say some words in Catalan, they will be very grateful, and they will be very friendly with you!

If you are invited to a friend's house to dinner, you should bring a bottle of wine and also desserts.

The second is optional, but generally it is better to ask your friend if you need to bring something or not.

It's very important to arrive on time, and if you go late you might send a text.

When we go to a restaurant, you should give a kiss to the waitress, because it is really polite!

If we meet up with friends also you should give a kiss to everyone.

When we order food from the menu, usually we share the entres, and then everyone chooses their second dish, and finally we split the bill.

It is not obligatory to give tips, so if you like the service and the food, you should give tips.

Ah!! And if you are my guest, you have to pay for my dinner! ;)

I think we will enjoy a lot during your holidays in Catalunya! You will have no regrets!!

Kisses and a big hug!

See you soon.

Hi, Jerry

I'm glad to hear that you are coming to Thailand but our culture is totally different so there is some etiquette you should know to survive here.

The most important thing when you meet other people is to put your hands together, especially with people who are older than you, you must do it first to show respect. For the younger, they will do it first then you will put your hands together. That will mean you accept their behaviour.

Touching someone is prohibited because it is considered seriously sexual. The guy must not touch any girls they don't know. It's quite strange if you ask someone how they are. It would be better to say hello, what are you doing? or where are you going?

There is another thing you should know: it's rude to say someone's mother/father's name, even someone in their family, actually it's a bad word for us. Try to avoid touching someone's head. It's great to smile with everyone you see and try to respect older people as much as possible. When you enter someone's home, you have to take off your shoes in front of the house.

I hope these pieces of adisce will be good for you more or less.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Hi, Jerry

What's up buddy?

This Saturday is a wedding ceremony of Yuto! Everyone in our class will come to the ceremony. Are you okay to come with us? You must bring plenty of money if you will come. And you should give it as a gift. But make sure money is an odd number. Don't worry, everybody's going to do that. Trust me. If you don't have money, don't worry you can use check ha ha :)))

In addition, you need to write a letter to them. The letter might mention things that are funny things, impressive things or surprises. It is also the present. You can make a speech or video to wish for their happiness, Or you can sing a song. You must not say rude things in the letter, speech and video. After the wedding, there is a big party. You can drink a lot of alcohol for free. It's going to be super fun. So let's enjoy that moment and wish them happiness!

See you in there. Bye!!!

Hi, Jerry

How are you? Can you confirm when you are arriving in Brazil?

I have some advice that can help you with etiquette and general manners of Brazilians. First of all, you should be on time in a date or meeting appointment. Being late is just allowed when a friend invites you to his/her house. In case you go sleep in a friends house you must check the times for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and be on time to enjoy the meal with your friend.

You might also need to be careful when you visit touristic places. Some places could be dangerous, so never walk alone. Another thing is try to put your cellphone and camera in a safe place. When you arrive, let me know and we can go to the beach or drink in some pub.

See you next month!

Hi Jerry!

You must take off you shoes if you want to walk inside the house in order not to make the house dirty because sidewalks are usually full of mud. However,if you forget this rule nobody will care much.

In terms of punctuality, you can come to a birthday party or another host invitation at any time you convenient for you, but for a business meeting you must be on time.

During the eating time you shouldn't keep you hands under the table.It is forbidden to swim in public fountains or streams but if the police are not nearby it's OK. In public places, you should give way to pregnant women.

Hi Jerry,

So happy to hear you're coming to the US! I'm happy to share some cultural norms and rules of etiquette with you. Because Americans come from all over the place, there are so many different customs. It's probably best to try and follow whatever behaviours people seem to be displaying wherever you are. for example, my mother always asks people to take off their shoes when they enter our house, but lots of my friends and family don't care. As for table manners, the most common polite behaviours would include waiting for everyone to be served before you begin eating, always compliment the cook (even if it's not that great), but don't worry about not accepting a second helping if someone offers - it's completely acceptable to say "no thanks, I'm full."

I'll give you more info on public behaviour when I see you in the staffroom later this morning. :)

Have a great day and looking forward to seeing you in the states soon,

Denise

Hello Jerry,

I'm glad to hear that you'll come my country, Japan!

I'll give you information about a few of my country's manners.

First, you have to shake hands using your two hands when you introduce yourself.

And if you are invited to someone's house, you need to take off your shoes at the entrance, and bring some sweets or snacks as a small present. It's minimum etiquette for us .

When you toast with an older person, you ought to raise your glass a bit lower than that of the person.

Hi, Jerry!

I'm really glad that you are going to come to my country!

I'll tell you about some very important and common manners in Japan.

At first, when you go to someone's house, you need to take off your shoes at the entrance of the house. It's our culture and it is very normal. Also, I think normally the host of the house may give you another pair of shoes for using inside the house.

Then, on public transport, you shouldn't call and talk very with a loud voice. There're especially so many people in the morning and evening, so it can make other people uncomfortable.

Next, when you meet new people, I suggest shaking hands with both hands. That way you can show your politeness to them.

At last, if you have an appointment to meet someone or go to the party, it's better to go there on time at least. If you're late, it means you keep someone waiting and that's not a good thing. They might worry that something bad has happened to you. Therefore, when you're late, you ought to inform the person that you will be late.

I hope your trip will be a great one! If you have time to see me, just let me know!

Hi mate!

In Korea you should not touch the person who you meet.

It's quite impolite in Korea.

And when you eat something, you need to be silent.

And when you start to have meals, you must wait for the older people to start first.

Then when you want to get Kimchi It's free!

In the bus you ought to keep quiet too :)

Hello Jerry.

In this short letter I can show you some things about general etiquette in my country, I'm going to describe some table manners.

First at all, it is normal if you arrive one hour later after the time of the invitation, because if you arrive so punctually it can mean that you are really hungry or it is possible that the dinner is not ready.

You don't need bring a gift with you, but if you want, you can bring a dessert or a wine.

When you arrive it's really polite that you make a handshake with men and give a kiss to women. In my country, age is not a problem. All people start to eat the dinner at the same time, just wait until everyone sits down. Usually, you have to wash your hands before and after eating the dinner, please try not to make a noise while you are eating. Also, when you finish your dinner and you want to leave the table, pick up the dishes and put them in the kitchen. When you are a guest, the host will pick up the dishes, but it is polite if you try to do so. When you leave the table, you should push the chair back.

Jerry, I hope that these tips can help you in your visit to Colombia.

See you soon.
