    I will be your teacher in January Comprehensive Plus for 2022.  We will meet each other five times a week, so I am sure we will get to know each other very well!

    I have been an English teacher for longer than I care to tell you....more than 30 years!  I have been at Trinity College for five years.   I enjoy teaching immensely, and, although I will enjoy teaching you online, I greatly look forward to meeting you in person when you arrive in Melbourne.

    When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family: I have two adult children as well as my siblings and their families.  I enjoy gardening in my small garden, cooking and I very much enjoy spending time outdoors...walking, bike-riding and swimming.

    I can't wait to get to know you and to meet you face to face!]]>     2022-01-16 23:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jlewis49/25r1c0m43vznwacq/wish/1994789337     https://padlet.com/jlewis49/25r1c0m43vznwacq/wish/1994907294 Hi my name is Mei, born in 2004 and raised most of the time in China HeBei,
    I’m currently a student in trinity college.Before became a trinity student I was in a private school where it’s located at brighton Melbourne and back when I was there I’ve been taught to learn a bit French besides English which I find that quite amusing for that unique accent.
    When I study abroad the first thing hits me  it’s homesick, the food I’ve been familiar with and of course my family, but when I first came to Melbourne I got my older brother’s company so that really makes my aboard life more relaxing and throughout getting used to Melbourne I’m shocked by all the amount of Chinese food in Melbourne because I remember before I came to Australia I was worried that I have to learn how to make homemade dumplings which it’s my top one food choice when I’m feeling hungry.
    For my choice of major the reason why I choose commerce as my major is that when I’m in high school the most interested subject is commerce and commerce is the only subject in high school I find highly attracted to therefore I chose commerce and tend to chose commerce as my area of study if I can get in to uniMelb.]]>     2022-01-17 01:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jlewis49/25r1c0m43vznwacq/wish/1994907294     Austin's profile https://padlet.com/jlewis49/25r1c0m43vznwacq/wish/1994919492 Hello, everyone.

Nice to meet you all.

    I used to study at Chengdu Meishi International School. Why do I choose to study in Australia? Because in 2018, I traveled with my friends in Australia and met a lot of local Australians. This is the first time I have friendly communication with foreigners. Whether it's Brisbane's Gold Coast or Sydney's Sydney Opera House, they both left me with great memories!

In terms of sports, I really like sea sports, Frisbee, rugby, badminton, volleyball.

    In the future, I will most likely study media at the University of Melbourne. If there are like-minded friends, I can communicate with you.

It's a cool name. I turned 18 after my birthday this year. I come form Changchun in the northeast of China.

    Because the temperature in northeast China is very cold in winter, my favorite hobby is skiing. Although my skiing skills are not particularly good, it is really interesting, challenging and a very famous sport. Welcome to try. And I think the most interesting thing is to dress my pet dog  in beautiful clothes. But only one photo can bu uploaded, so unfortunately I can't show you how cute it is. And when I have a rest, I like listening to songs, and I like many singers, such as Taylor Swift, Sia, and Charlie Puth.

    Why do I choose Melbourne university? Because it is very famous and the education is very good, of course, the school uniform is very beautiful, so I have been dreaming to be admitted to this university since I was a child. So for this dream, I'm going to make more efforts and try my best to finish my homework.

    In the end, I wish everyone can be admitted to their favorite university. And in this year, I hope we can become good friends with each other. I hope everyone can be happy, fruitful and healthy every day.

    I live by myself now, but I have my parents who love me very much.I was the only child in the family, but my cousin and I grew up together.If I wish I could have a sister, but I also like my current family.

    I finished my second high school study a few months ago.I used to be at school for a year as a boarder and a half, and in the last half year I became a day student to apply for school and prepare for IELTS.But honestly, I don't like my high school.Unfortunately, I didn't meet a good teacher, and the atmosphere at that school was too depressing.

    I have a hamster and he is very cute.I want to have a cat if there is a chance in the future.My favorite band is one direction, I have been a fan since eight and their songs are really good.

    I will be studying finance at the University of Melbourne, but I haven't wondered what to do in my graduate degree.After graduation, I wanted to be a dessert chef or open my own coffee shop more than working in finance, because I really enjoy the process of making coffee and desserts.If I have to choose one between returning home and staying in Australia, I will choose to go home.Because I want to be more with my family.]]>     2022-01-18 15:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jlewis49/25r1c0m43vznwacq/wish/1998307396     https://padlet.com/jlewis49/25r1c0m43vznwacq/wish/1999166619 Hello, my name is Liang Yingxian, and you can call me Libby. I am 17 years old. I come from Changsha, which is in the south of China, and it has a lot of delicious local food, such as crayfish and stinky tofu. I can speak Chinese and English. I can Speak Chinese a little more in my daily life because it is my mother tongue, and now I live in China, but I will practice my English harder in the future.

    I spend a lot of time watching TV series in my leisure time. It is a good way for me to relax and release pressure. I also like playing badminton. I started playing badminton because my parents wanted me to exercise, but after taking the badminton class, I found it fascinating. Unfortunately, I'm not good at playing it. My classmates in the badminton class are primarily primary school students.

    There are many reasons why I choose the University of Melbourne. First, I like Melbourne very much. The city is very green, with a lot of parks and gardens. As the cultural capital of Australia, I will have more opportunities to attend film festivals, music festivals, art exhibitions, and especially food festivals because I particularly enjoy experiencing various kinds of food. I will choose commerce as my major in the future, but I am not sure about my future career plan.]]>     2022-01-18 23:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jlewis49/25r1c0m43vznwacq/wish/1999166619     https://padlet.com/jlewis49/25r1c0m43vznwacq/wish/1999255339 Hi everyone, I am Jia Yao, and my English name is Jessie. I’m from Tianjin and I was born in 2004. Tianjin and Melbourne are friendly cities and these two cities are quietly similar because they also have a sky wheel and a river throughout the whole city. In Tianjin called Haihe and In Melbourne called Yarra River. They are very similar, so I am very adapted to life in Melbourne.

    I live with my parents and my sister. She is only 7 years old and she is cute and clever. Our family came to Melbourne in 2018. Thus, we've been here for almost four years. I was in Alphington Grammar School in 2018, and then I went to Strathcona Baptist Girls Grammar School for study 3 years. However, I am lucky to enter trinity college now. Although we only can see each other online, I believe we will have a face to face class in the future. I am honored to meet and study with you guys.

    Why did my family come to live in Melbourne and why did I come here?  Because my parents were decided to immigrate in 2017, and then they have travel with me and let me choose a city which I  like. The answer is clearly, I chose Melbourne. Thus we were prepared everything and came to Melbourne in 2018. I really like Melbourne’s education. Their way of education is different from that of China. The teachers here are very friendly and respectful. Homework will not be as much as in China rarely finish. Living here also feels less pressure than in China. So my family and I like Melbourne very much.

    Why I choose trinity college because I know the Melbuni is the best school and why I choose commerce because I am interested in commerce information. Meanwhile, my family are supports me to come to this college and learn this major. Our family is doing business in China, but because our family loves Melbourne so much, we are gradually deciding to move everything to Melbourne. It was always my dad's idea to have his own business in Melbourne. I can also better help him and our family by learning commerce.

    Finally, I am friendly and welcome everyone to come to Melbourne. We can be online friends now, but later we can get together in Melbourne and be good friends.

    Nice to meet youuu💗🌷🤍✨
