Adelaide

Hi my name is Adelaide Martins. I was born in Ponta do Sol in Madeira Island. I have been in Australia for twenty five years. I came to Australia for a better life. When I first arrived I was disappointed by several things: the food, language and weather. I loved the zoo and to see the Australian animals I had never seen Kangaroos or koalas before. I had never seen a swap meet. Australia was different from where I came from. I missed lots of things. The weather here is very hot in summer, Australia has more trees, I find it beautiful now but I didn’t then. The city I lived in was more or less like Perth.

My country is a great place for a holiday I recommend you go to see my beautifully country. Compared to Australia it is small in size. It’s very expensive to go there but it is worth it. When you go you must visit my place of birth it is called Ponta do Sol. You should take a trip around the Island, to see why they call it the Perola of the Atlantic. Perola means pearl. Another important thing is our wine, one of the most famous in the world. You can see so many swimming pools by the sea, one famous one is called the Lido. Since I have been here I have not visited many places, the places I have been to are Albany and the Zoo Now to tell you a little about me. I am the eighth child in my family. My family are a family of eleven children. I married and left my country, now I am an Australia. I have two children, both married and I have five grandchildren. At TAFE I would like to be able to operate a computer. After this course I hope to improve my English writing and speaking. I prefer to learn with other people. Yes I am in this picture below- can you guess which is me?
