A LESSON FROM CHINA

Kathy was born in China. She moved to Australia when she was just six years old. At first, she found it difficult to make friends because of the language barrier. During her first year of school, she spent a lot of time alone, without anyone else to talk to. She had to work harder than any of the other students in the classroom when learning to read and write. Her parents packed her lunch every day, and she had interesting foods like fried rice and noodles. The other students thought her food was strange, but Kathy didn’t care. One day another student had forgotten to bring lunch, so Kathy shared with her. The two became best friends and ended up sharing lunch for the rest of the year.

2

She enjoy to make friends

3
