Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: I remember.....
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2012/06/i-remember.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Tuesday, 5 June 2012. It was on June 4th, in 1989, that something awful happened in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. I won't dwell on it here. I remember being in Tiananmen Square in 2010 and a cold chill running through my body as I recalled the images in the press of that awful day. Let it not be forgotten. The world will never forget what happened in that square that day. 22 June 2012 at 14:59. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Links to other Blogs.

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: March 2012
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Sunday, 4 March 2012. What I big day I had - I shared with fellow member of 5W the story of Qiu Jin who is described as the "Chinese Joan of Arc" (1875 - 1907), a radical women's rights activist who defied tradition to become the leader of a revolutionary army in China. She was a prolific writer and also wrote. With all my heart I beseech and beg. My two hundred million female compatriots. To assume their responsibility as citizens. Chinese women, arise! Locat...

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: Esk and Fernvale
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2012/06/esk-and-fernvale.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Thursday, 7 June 2012. I've been 'itching' to take my car for a longer drive. My driving so far has been around the city and suburbs, and I felt like a long drive, so this morning I set off for Esk. Of course I have been through this part of the Lockyer Valley, but it was a long time ago. I did buy a meat pie at the famed Fernvale Bakery. I went for a short drive and found this house. I had a quiet giggle to myself. See the downpipe into the water tank? See th...

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: May 2011
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Sunday, 29 May 2011. I am going to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre on June 9th to see the ballet "The Last Emporer" - but today I have been watching videos of Chinese Dancing. Since reading the book "Mao's Last Dancer" and seeing the movie several times, I have learned so much about the wonderful training and quality of dance in China. Many readers will be familiar with the iconic ballet "Swan Lake" - watch the video below and see how the Chinese do it.

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: China or Bust
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2012/06/china-or-bust.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Monday, 4 June 2012. A friend of mine has published her story about teaching in China, calling it "China or Bust." Christine writes under the name of Lana Kerr. The book is available on Amazon. She and I had quite different experiences. She went with her husband, which is clearly of benefit when taking on living in a strange country where the language is impossible to understand or read when you first arrive. Both books are available on Amazon.com. Two Years o...

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: April 2011
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Tuesday, 12 April 2011. The Future of Education. Last night I went to a lecture at Griffith University (South Bank Campus) - the speaker was Richard Katz. Speaking about education towards 2020! It was very interesting to hear what he had to say, though I would have liked to have heard a little more detail about the future - there was a film about the history of education which was great too. I spoke with him afterwards. Wednesday, 6 April 2011. I remember the ...

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: June 2012
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Tuesday, 19 June 2012. Fortunately I did. So last Monday night I received a message, that I could indeed apply for graduation in September. Yippee. Now I can focus on my writing! And my other plans. Friday, 15 June 2012. Is it an indication of our poor schooling these days? Or so many Australians whose first language is not English? Reading a property sales brochure today I came across this one. What do you think? Thursday, 7 June 2012. The weather was almost ...

Adventures of an Australian English Teacher: December 2011
http://theadventurelady.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Adventures of an Australian English Teacher. Friday, 9 December 2011. What will it mean? The video below shows how the Chinese have been building massive cities and accommodation complexes with major shopping centres, which remain empty. No one lives in the residentials - terribly expensive. The shopping complexes are awesome, and empty. Is this a smart country? I wonder when they are going to 'hit a wall'. I wonder what the future is with China. Check out these videos. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
