MY PURPOSE IN AUSTRALIA


The Opera House



Sydney is one of the most exciting and beautiful destinations in the world today. To study English and know The House of the Opera would be my purposes by traveling there.

Australia has developed itself in less than 200 years from an island designated to lock away British convicts, to one of the most popular tourist destinations worldwide. A trip to Sidney will give me oportunities in various aspects: the studying of English language and having a musical and cultural experience at the same time.

The Sydney Opera House is one of the prides of the country and I want to know it. Located in a harbour, this city is absolutely beautiful and offers many things to do: attractions, restaurants, clubs and beaches. And of course, the oportunity to study and get a job.

Among the various options to travel and study, I would like to choose one: Australiante.

This is a kind of Enterprise which has schools of English language in many countries. Australiante itself makes the contacts for any kind of needings about traveling, for example airlines, visa, hotels, English courses, jobs and tourist destination.



THE WILD SWANS - Summary

THE WILD SWANS
By Hans Christian Andersen

Summary

Once upon a time, in a distant kingdom, a king, who had eleven sons and one daugther called Eliza, lived.

All of them were extremely happy together, until one day, the Queen died and the King got married again, but with  a wicked woman. This woman turned the eleven Princes into wild swans.

Eliza was very sad becuase she didn´t know what it had happened to her brothers. One day, looking to the ocean, she saw eleven swans flying and dropping beside her. Just when the sun went down, her eleven brothers stood beside her. They told her that the wicked stepmother had bewitched them: while sun shone, they stayed swans, but at sundown, they became men again.

So, all of them flew together to another country. One day Eliza had a dream: she dreamed about a fairy who came to her to say that Eliza herself could break the spell if she made shirts of nettles and threw them over the swans, but she must not speak while she was working on that.

She began to work and said nothing when her hands were wounded and her brothers asked her about the reason. The King of this country fell in love with her and wanted to marry her, but she said nothing.

Because of this "strange" attitude, people of this country thought she was a witch and wanted her to die, and almost she died by burning, but she was saved by her brothers.

In that moment, Princess Eliza had finished the eleven shirts of nettles and threw them over the swans, and her beloved brothers became men again and forever: the spell had been broken.

Then Eliza told the story of why she had been speechless so long.

From that moment on, all the people praised Eliza and also the King, her husband, who offerred a great party for her and for her eleven brothers who would never be swans again.
