Really the time passed quickly. It was great time and I have learnt so many English language skills. I'm now more confident about my English but it's not enough for me. That because my plan is to Study law here , and to go to university for studying law, and work as a lawyer you must be excellent in English.
Then my first goal is to complete my English study then study law at the uni.

Excursion
Last Tuesday was a great day, it was really one of the most beautiful day at TAFE . Tuesday is
Marion class , and last Tuesday Marion Decided to make the lesson more practical by visiting with another class few organisations in Kogarah area. Firstly we visited the St George Family Support Service, and a staff told us about the service provided and which people can benefit. Also we went to The Kogarah Storehouse, and the staff talked about how they deliver assistance for people, such as ( Emergency Relief Funding, Emergency Food etc...). Later we visited Kogarah Council and Kogarah Library . We had there coffee and cake then one of the staff from the council explained how the decisions and procedures were made,also the responsibilities of the council . After this a staff from the library came and took us in around trip introducing the library categories and sections. Finally it was time for lunch, and where can be a better place than Carss Park to have lunch. It was great specially when I was surprised with a Birthday cake prepared by Marion.
The trip was very enjoyable and educational, Also lots of fun.

Halloween
Halloween history started with the Celtic, 2000 years ago the Celtic people were living in Europe had a festival named "Samhain". The festival of "Samhain" is a celebration of the end of the harvest season. It was on October 31 at the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half”. The Celtic believed that in this day the border between this world and the other world become thinner (i.e. between life and death), so they kindled a fire to keep the souls away .
The catholic church in the 7 century made influence on the Halloween celebration day, they have sought to change the meaning of Halloween day from being a day of raising souls to honour the dead.
The name of Halloween is Scottish origin and is short for " All Hollow’s Eve" the night before "All Hollow’s Day".
In America the tradition of celebration in Halloween day started with Irish immigrants , however the traditional celebration has evolved from its original cultural . Halloween is still celebrated in several countries around the global.
At Halloween children wear unusual costumes ( it can be modelled after supernatural figures like monsters, devils, witches), and go from door to door, asking for candies, with the question:"Trick or treat?"
In Australia we celebrate Halloween, in fact on the 31st of Oct. twice 2 groups of kids wearing strange customs knock on our door and ask for candies.In Lebanon we have "All Saints Day" but it 's a religion day and considered a public holiday .We have also "Id El-Barbara" after the name of saint Barbara , the celebration of this festival is similar to Halloween in so many ways ( dressing , singing, food, etc..)
