School nurse

Many schools don't have a nurse  because few nurses are available.I think a nurse should be hired at the school. When  the children get sick or hurt they need someone to take care at school. A school nurse can care for sick children and talk to classes about healthcare.

Jobs-stolen identity

Our identity information is important for our own security. We have to be careful. When we use the credit card we must not show the security pin-number to anyone. We shouldn't tell anyone about our social security number. The law says we may check our credit reports once a year online.

A day at school

My name is Serap. I am going to an English 3F class. It starts at 9 am and finishes at 2.30 on Tuesday and Friday. I get up early and I prepare my daughters' lunch boxes and then we leave home. Firstly I drop off my older daughter in high school and then I drop off my younger daughter in childcare and then I go to my class. However, I am late because my daughter doesn't want to go to childcare. Our teachers are very kind. They are explaining everything about our questions and they are talking clearly and slowly with us. We are learning many things about English and how easy is the social life. For example appointment with a doctor, an interview with a teacher, arranging a service. Also we are learning about future plans. We are talking with my classmates about future plans. Everybody is thinks differently about future plans. I am hoping that I will improve my English, later I will decide about my future. I am very happy to attend this class.

Why is preschool important for children education?

In my opinion preschool is important for children education. Children will learn how to play with each-other and share materials in public. Preschool will improve strength, unity, belonging while keeping them active and hard-working and also prepare them for their future school life.

My plans and ambitions

My plan is studying Human Resources. I studied Human Resources in my country but my English is not very well so I decided learn to English.

When I improved English language I will study Human Resources. I like this job and I like help people. Firstly May be I can find volunteer job. I think it will be good experience for me and help to find another job.

About my life

My name is Serap. I was born in Istanbul, in Turkey. I studied human resources in my country. When I was working I met my husband then we got married. After a year my daughter was born, we came to Australia for holidays a year later to visit my husbands family. We came to Australia in 2000. When I first arrived in Australia I was excited. Isaw many interesting places in Australia and I learned lots of things about Australia. I liked Australia. In 2005 we decided to came back to Australia to live. It was difficult for me to get used to this country. It was important to speak English so I studied English course and I got my Business Administration certificate. We lived three years in Australia then we went back to Turkey. My little daughter was born there. Six months a go we came to Australia. My older daughters started high school and I wanted to repeat my English classes. My younger daughter is three years old. She is going to childcare but sometimes she doesnt want to go because she cant speak english but I think she will learn english faster than me. I hope me and my family will have a better future here in Australia.

I love studying at the esol 3f class. I want to learn english very well . I studied esol and Business Administration courses five years ago but we went to my country to live. In there we spoke Turkish so I needed to practise esol class to repeat. When I came to Australia I was afraid about what should I do. Firstly, I decided that I would go to Tafe and study. Sometimes it is so confusing for me I can't understand. I try to listen carefully and practise. I usally watch tv with subtitles.It is a good practise for me. I feel very happy when I learn too many english words and practise.
