We lived in / Thailand in a refugee camp for about three years before we came to Australia. / In 1988 my two sisters and two brothers left Vietnam and went to Bidong, an / island belonging to Malaysia. They lived there for over a year before they / joined us in Australia one month ago. We have all lived in this house in / Maidstone for one month. We want to move because this house is too far / from the market and the school. I want to become a composer of music and / am at present working as a mail sorter at the G.P.O. (General Post Office).
