My name is Sally. I’m from China. Now I am in year 11 and I’m studying Chinese, English as a Second Language ,Maths, Physical Science and Business Studies. I live in a homestay in Lenah Valley, and I have already been here 8 months. I like Hobart very much because the Australian environment is better than in China. In China the sky is usually not blue, but grey.

My name is Lee. I’m from China and this year I’m studying Maths, Physics and Accounting. I enjoy studying at Elizabeth College because the teachers are good and the other students are friendly. Hobart is a great place, very quiet, with a small population. I hope to study at university in the USA.

I also participate in the ECAAD program for academic excellence, and that is really interesting and a good way to get to know local students.

My name is My. I come from Vietnam. Amongst other things I am studying Maths and Physical Science, and I am trying to get into a medical course at university. I think Elizabeth College is a good school. I have made many new friends here. Everyone is warm and the teachers are friendly too. In Hobart there are not many Vietnamese so I can improve my English very much. I also like the fresh air and peace here.

I’m Trang from Vietnam, and I’m studying in year 12. I like being at Elizabeth College because there is a variety of subjects that I can choose to study. I also like living in Hobart because of the weather. It is too hot in Vietnam. I’m planning to study Medicine or Medical Research at the University of Tasmania next year. I live independently in a flat and I enjoy cooking and looking after myself.
