My history 2011 3/3/11 Hi, my name is Patricia but my family and friends call me Pachy. I came from Chile in South America and I speak Spanish. I have lived here since March 2008. I have two children, the oldest is Bruno who is five years old and Felix who is three years old. My husband Gaston is Chilean too.

Now I study English and I have made good progress because I can speak with my doctor and speak with Bruno’s teacher. That is very important because day after day the teacher tells me about his progress but he has many problems with his speaking and joining the class because he speaks Spanish all the time. Speaking with the teacher makes me really happy.

This year it is very important because in March we will get a new house. The planning was started last year and was very exiting because I had many **appoitment** with Wilson Homes to see the plans of our house. My husband and I think that buying a home is very important because we are proud that it's worth coming to this country. M y home is in Chigwell**.** This place is very nice. Before it was a primary school. It is 25 minutes from the city. My family are very happy with this because it was our first goal in this country.

Excursion

Two weeks ago on 7 April at 10:00 am, my classmates and I walked to the Tasmania Museum and Art __galery__. Rosie McKeand ran the Art program. __Afther__ that Susan took a photos of the group. It was a __fanny__ time. Then Rosie talked __abaut__ drawing and she gave us some paper and pencils. Next we walked inside the museum and looked at __birts__, a fox and common snakes in Tasmania.

My AUTOBIOGRAPHY My life in my country was very relaxed and I had the best time of my life. My husband and I have been together since 1990. He was my boyfriend until 2001 and we were married in November of the same year. I studied “Fashion Designer and pattern maker” and worked in my house shop immediately after finish ing my course. My passion was to make wedding dresses, evening wear and everything.

My husband was manager of the company Chevrolet in my country, Holden here, but he not happy with work, because the money was no t good. In 2005 we had our first child Bruno. I felt very happy. The parents of my husband were l iving in Hobart and they invited us to come. Gaston was determined to move to Hobart for more opportunit ies for work. I was no t happy but said OK! He started study ing English for the IELT test because it was necessary for the visa. When the application was just finished we had our second child who was born in 2007. We appl ied again.

Finally on 9th March, 2008 we arrived in Tasmania. Today my children are 6 and 3 years old. My husband is working in Caltex Service station and I study English and sometime s make a dress and alterations.

I feel very happy with my new life in Hobart.
