Zelalem

I am writing about my story. I was born in Ethiopia in April 1956. My father was a farmer and my mother was a midwife worker but they were living in the village when I was young. I went to school for two years to study about the Orthodox religion of Ethoipia. When **I** got the diakon Certificate I left my father's house. In that time I got the high level in religion then after four years I left that school and I went back to my father's house in 1968 (Ethiopian calander). But I didn't stay there a long time. Just a short time.

__This is Zelalem's learning plan.__

My goal is learning English grammer. My weaknesses are understanding what the teacher is saying and listening to Australian people. My strengths are reading ,writing and grammer. I want to meet Australian peop__l__e and make friends here and to share ideas. My long-term goals are to improve my English and get a full-time job but would like a career in Aged Care. The barriers to learning are my family and health. I have family responsibilities. English is hard to learn so I need to practise more and more.

Last Thursday I went to see the old Tasmanian painting with the students. We left at 10. 00am.and walked 10 minutes to the Museum and Art Gallery. First we met Rosie from Access Art. She said Hi to everybody and welcomed us and she gave us pencils and paper to draw.Then every body looked at pictures of animals, rivers, mountains and towns. After that everybody started painting. I wrote about the Tasmanian foudation. I also wrote about the New town foundation in 1804 and 1856. The Chinese come to Australia in 1644. I remember that the foxes and birds looked good.

Last Thursday I went to the Library. It's located south west of the city. Thanks for looking this history of Zelalem.

5th of May 2011. When I come to Australia on Saturday evening between 7 and 8.00pm I felt happy but on Sunday morning my son was very sick, vomiting, diahhorea, hydration and urine problems. __I__ didn't know the hospital. I __c__oudn't speak English well. I didn't have some friends, but I waited for my support group .He said what happened? I say my son is sick in the middle of the night. He said don't worry, lets go to the hospital, hurry up everyone and get in the car. Then we started to travel to the hospital but it was not too bad. The Doctor did a blood test and urine test and gave us a diagnosis.

12/5 2011 I have a big family, they lived together in one big house and we have good and friendly neighbours. So I am happy with my family. I love them, and I love Hobart very much and would like to live here all my life. My __childrn__ are speaking and __writtng Englshes__ very well and some of them are also speaking __f__rench very well. Maybe next year they will have university studies but I won't start university. I hope some of them will start university.

In my holiday two weeks ago in June I had no class. It was great holiday because I had special time in the fresh air at home with my family and friends. I cleaned the house everyday so it was a lovely holiday. I enjoyed it. After that I went to the family Doctor because __i__ was sick. My thumb __W__as so__ur__ and __i__ had an x- ray at Glenorchy.
