A general Musing of my Summer

I cant believe my summer holiday is coming to an end!

I love coming to Sydney for my summer holidays since the family gets together and we all get to experience new and exciting things day by day. This summer was something special to me because my youngest aunt got married and i got to share this memorable moment with her since i was her maid of honour. This weeding was on of the highlights of my holiday. Afterwards, i got to celebrate my grandfather 80th birthday which is a milestone for him and for all of us as he survived a heart attack. I went to the city to go sight seeing and wondering around the beautiful busy streets of my home country. I went to Newcastle which is another state in New south wales, Sydney. I got to go hiking for a few times as well, lots of shopping in malls and pit streets, and finally i celebrated my 17th birthday with the whole family at a nice restaurant that looks over the whole Sydney city. 

In this summer i got to do some volunteer work at the family business which is a child care centre, where i work in the office doing paper work like scanning and filling out forms, i also got to work with some kids and help them with activities they were assigned. This was a wonderful experience i got to do because i love working with kids and understand how a business works in a family. 

Additionally, one of the other highlights of my summer was going to the University open days of all the universities in Sydney. I also got to chose the university i am going to when i graduate next year and i got to meet many lecturers and university students which i got to socialise with. 

The part was that i am going to be coming back her next year to live in Sydney for the rest of my life which has been my wish ever since i left Sydney when i was 5 years old.  This summer has proved the best to me and showed me that i can see myself opening a new life ahead of me in this part of the world. 

This summer was a lot of fun and a great work experience!

Timed write on ‘I Have a Dream’ by Martin Luther King In martin Luther King’s speech “I Have a Dream” the intended audience is essentially the general public. The speech also focuses down into influencing the African Americans to fight for their right and to change the views of poverty of powerful leaders. Therefore, the purpose of this speech is to provide a better future for the generation of tomorrow and to enable freedom in the grounds of America. This is conveyed on the last page of the speech where MLK say’s ‘let freedom ring—from every hill and molehill of Mississippi, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!’ This sentence is also an anaphora as ‘let freedom ring’ is emphasised twice in that sentence. Additionally, this speech is trying to make all coloured skin people become one and equal, so that African Americans can still have hope in their living.  Furthermore, his words used prove the understanding of the social and political disruption.  Moving onwards, the style

Complication on Learning A Second Language and how it Shaped my Identity Looking back over all the years that have passed, I can say that I have been challenged throughout my life. I can say that my identity has shifted completely as I had to learn a second language, which is Arabic once I had to move to the U.A.E. I lived in Australia for the first 4 years of my life, where I would speak English with somewhat of an Australian accent. But then one night my whole life was changed as I was tolled that me and my family where moving to the middle east far way from the greenery, the kangaroos, the “G-Day mate” greetings and most importantly far away from the rest of my family. As the time was getting closer and closer to the big change in my life, I just overlooked that everyone in the middle east speaks the Arabic language and that I had to learn it someday to be able to live a happy and successful life in the middle east. I started to image how this second language I have to

Written task introduction

Question 1:  How could the text be read and interpreted differently by two different readers?   When reading the article "for women under 30, most Births Occur Outside of Marriage", I was able to easily spot two different interpretations to the article, which these interpretations depend on the readers ideologies when reading the article.  If the article was locked from a feminist ideology and the reader interpreted the text accordingly the purpose of the text would be to demonstrate how woman are working continuous hours to provide a suitable life for their child, thus are capable of taking care of children at such a young age without having the power of men over them. However, the other Way this article can be interpreted is through the views of people again young single woman, these people see that young woman are ruining their life and future to take care of a child solely. Also, they see this as a big issue since it’s hard to take care of on planned children withou
