Hi Marjorie, Your sentences need to fit together to make a story about you and your future plans with study and work. It is difficult to move your current sentences around to make the story flow but it has a good introduction. I would like you to quickly write about your short-term goals and long-term goals as well as the barriers to your achieving your goals. Do you know what job you would like? What course do you need to study when you complete Certificate II? I will attempt to read your story with you and give you some guidance because we need to finish our stories today. Suzanne



Hello everybody my name is Marjorie. I come from the beautiful country in Central America, Nicaragua. When I come to Australia I didn't know any English words. I arrived to Melbourne in February last year. I moved to Hobart in May last year. Now I have had ten months living in Tasmania and I love this place. It is a wonderful state with beautiful and friendly people.

I am a Fashion designer. I studied for that, but now I decided to change my mind. My **short-term goal** is to finish my Certificate II in Spoken and Written English. My **long-term** goal is to have my own business running a cafe. I want to be the manager and I will employ other people. To do this I need to study a hospitality course at Drysdale. I need to learn how to cook, how to make good coffee, how to work well with other people, how to manage money and other things. I want my own cafe because I like money, I have drive and passion to do well in life and I love food.

I am working so sometimes it is difficult to go to school to study. Time is a **barrier**. Money will be a barrier to achieving my long-term goal. Of course, English is a barrier because it is so difficult for me.

I have many dreams and goals in my life, I know if I work hard and with a lot of effort I will reach my goals. I am sure I will have good future in Australia and a very happy life.
