MacQuarie University
Identification
Macquarie University is one of the largest
universities in Australia. This year, in 2004, it celebrates its 40th
anniversary.
Description
The university is located at the North
Ryde Greenbelt, Sydney, where the New South Wales government sets aside 135
hectares for the institution. In 1964, Macquarie area was a rural retreat on
the city fringe, but today the campus and its surroundings have evolved beyond
recognition. The North Ryde District has grown into a district of intensive
occupation anchored by a vibrant and growing university.Blessed with a
fortunate location and room to breathe, Macquarie can be proud of that careful
planning that retains and enrich the university’s most attractive natural
features. A pleasing balance between buildings and plating is evident across
the campus. This emphasis on the importance of landscape has created images of
Macquarie as a place that members of the university are most likely to
pleasurably recollect.
One of the highlights
of the landscape is the Mars Creek zone. It comprises landscaped creek sides
and valley floor, a grass amphitheatre, and artificial lake… surrounded by
rocks and pebbles, native plants and eucalypts.
Today, a railway
station is under construction. In three years1 time, Macquarie will be the only
university in Australia with a railway station on site. Macquarie is poised to
be the most readily accessible in Sydney region by rail and motorway, yet
retaining its beautiful site.

My Small
House
I live in a small
house. It has five rooms: there are two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom,
and a kitchen. Indeed it is a small house; but I like living in here for
wasting my spare time.
When the door is open,
I can see the living room. It is so small with only three chairs and a table,
nothing else. I prefer reading a novel in this room.
My bedroom is in the
left side of the living room. In this room there is a night table next to the
bed, a TV, a radio, and a computer. When being bored of reading, I usually play
online games, chat with my friends via Facebook and so on.
Next to my bedroom is
my mother's. I do not know what is inside because I never come in to see it. In
the right side of the living room there is the kitchen. In the kitchen I have
everything I need when I get hungry. It is very pleasure when my mother cooks,
the smell fills my whole house.
I know it is a very
small house; but it is the best place I have ever seen.
My Family
My family has four
members: those are I, my sister, and parents of course.
My mother is 47 years
old. Her name's Anisa. She's thin-faced and she's got long, blond hair and
beautiful green eyes. She is still slim because she always tries to stay in
shape. She is very good-looking, always well-dressed and elegant.
My father, Lukman, is
5 years older than my mother. He is 52. In spite of his age he's still
black-haired, with several grey hairs. He has bright blue eyes. He is quite
tall, but a bit shorter than me. He's very hard-working. Besides that he is
working in a travel company. He can even make a dinner when my mother is
outside. His cooking and his meals are always very tasty as well as my
mothers'.
Finally, my sister
Nadina. She is 22. She is also red-haired and green-eyed. She has long wavy
hair and freckles. She is definitely shorter than me. She is rather
introverted. But she is very sensible, smart and co-operative. Right now she is
studying English and also knows Arabic and Mandarin. I want to be so smart as
she is.
They all, except me,
speak Sundanese very well, because we were living in Bandung for 5 years. My
sister have been going to primary school there. Unfortunately I was only 3 when
we were leaving to Jakarta, so I can't speak Sundanese. Now we are happily
living in Jakarta.
My Sphynx Cats
My Sphynx cat is the
only pet I have. He has a little hair but is not totally hairless as he has a
peach fuzz over much of his body. His coat is often a warm chamois. My Sphynx
has a normal cat proportion.
I like his tail
although my mom say that it is like a rats tail. I love his usual color
varieties including, tortoiseshell, chocolate, black, blue, lilac, chocolate
etc. He is really an amazing cat. Believe it or not, he is very intelligent
cat. He can respond my voice commands.
He is really funny as
well as my friends get a joke. I love him so much as I love my mother.
My Mother
My mother is a
beautiful person. She is not tall but not short, and she has curly hair and
brown. Her eyes color are like honey and her color skin color light brown, and
she has a beautiful smile. Her weight likes 120 lbs.
She is a very kind
person. She is very lovely, friendly, patient, and she loves to help people. I
love my mom, because she is a good example to me. She loves being in the Church,
and she loves sing and dance too.
She is a very good
child, wife and mother. She always takes care of her family. She likes her house to be clean and
organized. She a very organized person, and all things in the house are in the
right place. She doesn't like messes.
She always has a smile
on her face. She is so sweet and lovely. I like when I am going to sleep or
went I wake up or when I am going to go to some places, she always give me a
kiss, and when the family have a problem she always be with us to helps us and
to give us all her love.
My
Classmate, Yuta
Yuta is one of the 150
International students at the ELC of Brigham Young University. He is from
Japan. He grew up in Japan, and he is 19 years old. There are six people in his
family, a father, a mother, three sisters and himself. He is the youngest in
his family. He is also the only boy in his family, but now he is in Provo,
Utah, studying English. Yuta likes the United States very much and he thinks
everything is cheap. Yuta thinks his English classes are excellent and the
teachers are professionals. Yuta thinks someone in his class is noisy so he
doesn't like that. In his free time he spends too much time sleeping, so it
seems that he has a sleeping sickness.
Provo
I have been in Provo
for almost eleven months. I have seen winter, spring, summer, and fall. Provo's
winter is so beautiful. The mountains are covered with a lot of snow. They look
like many beautiful brides wearing wedding dresses, and veils. In spring, Provo
doesn't have many trees; when the snow melts the mountains are bald as strong
bald men. Summer in Provo is very hot in the daytime. Last summer when I was
walking under the sky, it was like walking in an oven; the sun was like a fire
that burned my skin. In spring and summer the weather was always clear. I never
used my umbrella. Provo was like a huge clothes dryer; it is very dry in spring
and summer. In the fall the weather in Provo is very strange. One late
September morning when I woke up, the mountaintops was covered with snow. Provo
is a lovely and strange place. I love it very much.
My Gitar
My most valuable
possession is an old, slightly warped blond guitar--the first instrument I
taught myself how to play.
It's nothing fancy,
just a Madeira folk guitar, all scuffed and scratched and finger-printed. At
the top is a bramble of copper-wound strings, each one hooked through the eye
of a silver tuning key. The strings are stretched down a long, slim neck, its
frets tarnished, the wood worn by years of fingers pressing chords and picking
notes. The body of the Madeira is shaped like an enormous yellow pear, one that
was slightly damaged in shipping. The blond wood has been chipped and gouged to
gray, particularly where the pick guard fell off years ago.
No, it's not a
beautiful instrument, but it still lets me make music, and for that I will always
treasure it.

Prague
Is there any city in
Europe, or else, like Prague? There has been a city here for over a thousand
years, and now 2.250.000 people live here. It is most famous for its Gothic and
Baroque building styles. Old Town Square, with its wonderful clock, the Charles
Bridge, and Prague Castle on the hill above the river are just a few of
Prague’s famous attractions.
Getting around Prague is easy by tram or
underground train but it’s also a pedestrian’s dream because much of the old
quarter and many of the streets and lanes have little or no traffic. The
medieval center is Prague castle and St Vitus Cathedral. An evening view of
these illuminated landmarks is one of the most memorable sights in Europe.
Wenceslas Square is in the heart of modern Prague.
Visiting Prague today, you immediately
notice the lively atmosphere. The city can be crowded during the hot summer
months, but it is delight to visit any time of the year, even in the snowy cold
of winter. In fact, tourism makes the largest contribution to Prague’s economy.
Classical concerts take place all through the year, though the biggest event is
the Prague Spring International Music Festival in May and early June. Theatre
also has a special place in the life of the city.
The suburbs are like many in Eastern
Europe with tall sky crappers and some light industry, but you are very quickly
in the sleepy villages and gentle hills of Bohemia. Many people say Prague
reminds them of Vienna or Budapest. But in fact, Prague is unique. There’s
nowhere quite like it.

My Favourite Teacher
Everyone has a
favourite teacher, someone who we feel a special connection with. In primary
school, my favourite teacher was Ms. Nuraini. I was not such a good pupil, but
just looking at Ms. Nuraini made me feel that I was going to learn.
Ms. Nuraini was 45 years old and rather
short about 1.50 meters. Since I’m short too, I always feel a bit nervous with
tall teacher who tower menacingly over me. It was reassuring to be around Ms.
Nuraini. Also, I always enjoy the fragrance of the herbs that she grew in our
classroom.
On the top of her round head, Ms.
Nuraini always wore a colorful headscarf with an intriguing design. This, plus
her warm smile, brightened the lessons in her classroom. However, the best part
of her face was her kind eyes that said to her students, ”I care deeply about
you.”
Ms. Nuraini usually wore bright long
sleeve blouse that went well with her coffee-color skin. She did not wear much
jewelry, just a simple Casio watch on her left hand and a ruby red ring on the
ring finger of her right hand. The other ‘decoration’ on her hand came from
types of ink from whiteboard markers and other sources.
On most days, Ms. Nuraini wore
loose-fitting pants. Finally, on her feet, she often had brown closed-toe shoes
with just a slightly raised heel that made a peculiar ‘clip-clop’ sound as she
walked. These low-heeled shoes made it easy for Ms. Nuraini to walk briskly
around the classroom to help us when we were doing group activities.
I can still feel her friendly touch on
my shoulder as she stood listening carefully to our group or explaining
something that none of us could figure out.
