I have been in Australia nearly 4 months. I am a student. I come here to lean English language. I have stayed with host family. This is my first time to stay with another person who has no relationship before. But I was lucky, I saw the person who I stay with before I arrive in Australia. I saw him at the airport. He looked like a kind person. We waited at a lounge for announcer called us. I went same plane with him. He talked with me tried to make me feel convenient. In his house he had a housekeeper. She is from Thailand. I felt better because at less I have a friend who comes from same country with me. When I have a problem, I can talk in my language.

My first problem was how to go to school. It was become my problem because I didn’t know a ways and transportation here. I stared talking my problem with my Thai friend who was a housekeeper. She didn’t know too much about my problem but she advised me to talk with my host family. I talked with him and he helped me. He showed me where can I get off a bus and where is a bus stop. This problem could be fixing. It was not really finish my problem. So my problem was keep going. I want to school by catch a bus. I have to catch 2 buses to go to school.

My next problem stared here. When I caught the bus, I must to tell to bus driver where I get off. I could remember the road’s name. Its sound good, but the real problem was my pronunciation. I’m a Thai people. My pronunciation, it’s not like an Aussie people. So the bus driver didn’t understand me where I want to go. I tried it not more than 4 or 5 times. He was still misunderstanding me. So I thought how to lets him understand me. I showed the road’s name to him. He got it. This problem no one can’t help me. I should help myself. It’s hard to change my pronunciation like an Aussie people. You know how can I fix this problem. It’s quite easy. I’ll tell you. You just buy a smart rider. That’s all How can I fix this problem. If I get the smart rider, I won’t talk with the bus diver. It’s just tag on and off. If the value in the card low, just add value at the machine or on the bus. No talking any more.
