During the holidays, we celebrated our Orthodox Easter on 19 April. It was a very good time for me and for my family. My sister and I helped my mum to colour some eggs. We also bought an Easter cake. Then in the evening we went to our friend's house. The woman was prepared a really delicious food for us. We talked to each other and spent a very good time together.
Other times, I went shopping and bought some clothes for myself. I also woke up later and relaxed at home. I didn't forget to read the book that Marion gave us. I helped my mum with her English. We did some exercises together.
I enjoyed this holiday and it was great for me.

ANZAC DAY
ANZAC DAY is celebrated on the 25-th of April each year. It is a day to remember the brave men and women who have served Australia in times of war.
ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
Australian soldiers called Diggers.
Most of the famous heroes from World War I is Simpson. He called his donkey Duffy.
On ANZAC DAY we show our thanks to the people who have fought for our country. Families go to the march in their towns, wearing ANZAC badges and wave Australian flags.
The Ode is part of a special poem that is said during the ANZAC DAY service and people reply it with these words: "Lest we forget".

Harmony day
On 19 of March was the Harmony day celebration at TAFE. I went with my teacher and classmates. I really enjoyed it.
Some students talked about their life and experience in Australia, some of them sang songs from their countries. A student from China played on a traditional instrument. Then we stood up and sang the famous song " We are Australian " all together. It was so exciting.
Finally we shared the cakes, biscuits and drinks.
I think that it was wonderful for me to see at one place so many people from so different countries like one big family. It was pleasure for me to be a part of this celebration.

Bulgarian Superstitions
- One of the superstitions in my country is when a black cat walks in front of you, it means bad luck.
- Another superstition is Friday 13-th. On this day people are afraid because they think something bad is going to happen.
- When you break a mirror, it means that you will lose your love for 5 years.

My holiday
My last holiday was very exciting and interesting for me. On Christmas day, I went with my family to our friend's house for dinner. The food was delicious. We talked all the time and listened to music.
On New Year's Eve we went to a restaurant. There were lots of people and we watched fireworks on T.V. It was a wonderful evening for me and also it was my first New Year in Australia.
A few days later I went shopping and also watched some interesting films in the cinema. It was a really hot summer, so my sister and our friend and I decided to go to Jamberoo. It was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot.
The rest of the time I stayed at home and relaxed. I watched T.V. and talked with my friends on the computer.
On Australia Day my family and I went to the city and spent a very good time there. We walked around and saw very nice views of Darling Harbour and the Opera House.
I'm very happy that I did a lots of interesting and different things this holiday.

About me
Hi, I'm Gergana. I come from Bulgaria. I have been in Australia for 4 months. I live in Kogarah with my family. I have a younger sister. She is 17. My father has been here for 12 years, but I came with my sister and my mother.
In my country I lived in a small town near the capital. I have a lot of friends there and they miss me so much. I like Australia very much. People are very friendly and always ready to help you. I would like to continue my education in the future because in my country I started to study in university but I stopped. I'm very happy that I have a chance to improve my English. I would also like to get a good job.
