Dear Dr. Salakjit

Starting with the success story of my English processing, I have got the Certificate of achievement from English class at school said "Consistent application to English studies which I was quite happy about this and my English exam was quite good determined from my English as a second language and the average mark of the class. And I also got the report from the mid yearly exam which I am really pleased with it.

I had a trip to Trangie a small country town in NSW where the population was 1000 people, with the Rotarians from Rotary club of Roseville Chase and the exchange student from France. We had really good time and experienced in the country for 4 days. We went to the central school and did our short speeches about our country and life in Australian for one year as an exchange student. I also spent one day in the agriculture farm, the place where we stayed. I experienced how the cattle get fed and I went one a tractor to see them seeding. We also visited the cotton mill where they made the cotton. Visiting the school in the small country town where there was approximately 200 students in school was absolutely different from the other schools where I have been. I found that the lifestyle of children was really different and their standard of living weren't strong. Mostly everyone knew each other and they were relative for some reason which made me feel really strange such as there was one white boy and he was the Aboriginal girl's step brother and they also related to another 2 boys and 2 girls in the class.

My school had got Athletics Carnival yesterday. I didn't join any running competitions but I joined one of the athletic sports called Javalin or we call "Pung-Lan" in Thai. It was my first time so didn't matter if I couldn't do well.

Last two months there was the lady from Northern District Times newspaper in the district, visited the rotary meeting and asked if she could do the stories about myself so I went for an interview in the month after and it was published today which was quite interesting. They were interested about my Safari trip and how I think about life style here compared to my lifestyle at home.
