Arrival Story

My Arrival Story

My name is Rana and I came to Australia last year. I arrived in Brisbane on 19 May 2009. I travelled with Emirates from Iran with my husband and two children but I couldn’t sleep on the plane so I read for a while and then watched a few movies.

I arrived at Brisbane airport at 7:30 in the morning. My husband’s cousin and her family were there to meet us. When I saw her cousin, I felt very happy because I hadn’t seen her for a long time so we both embraced each other and we were so excited.

She took us to her house in Wakerley and we talked about Iran and my family. That night I was very excited to be in a new country but I also felt a bit sad because I missed my friends back home.

The next day she took me around the city. I walked along the beautiful South Bank riverside and the parklands. I liked the city because it was clean and it wasn’t crowded.

I was certain that I would have a good future in Australia because there are many opportunities here for me, however, I need to improve my English first.

1. What is the topic?
2. How many conjunctions have been used?
3. How many noun groups can you find?
4. How many noun compound are there?
5. Find an independent clause and one dependent clause.
