Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day comes from western culture. It contains vestiges of both Christian and Roman traditions. There are many different histores of Valentine's Day. One of the stories from the Catholic Church considers that Valentine's Day is a day to commemorate the saints who were martyred. Because of his sympathetic, heroic and--most importantly--romantic figure, Valentine became one of the most popular saints in English and France in the Middle Ages. Other stories believe that it is to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial--which probably occurred around A.D.270--others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St.Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to "Christianize" the pagan celebration of Lupercalia.
Valentine's Day is a romantic day. Although Valentine's Day comes from western culture, most people all over the world celebrate it on 14 February. In my country, more and more young people celebrate it in their own way. Boys and girls give one another thoughtful little presents like chocolate, flowers, dolls and so on. Some lovers go to see a romantic film and then they have a romantic dinner. Nowadays, many young people choose Valentine's Day to confess, propose or get married to commemorate their love. For me, the most romantic Valentine's Day I have had was at university when the whole school gathered together in the playground to release lanterns. When hand in hand we held the lanterns at the same time we felt happiness and surprise. When the lanterns were floating in the sky it stood for love and blesssing.
Valentine's Day is just a day to give lovers a chance to express love and affection. I think if you love each other, everyday is Valentine's Day!

New Life
G'day all.
Welcome to my blogger.
I am Christina. All of my family is Catholic , so I chose Christina as my English name. I come from China. I have been in Australia 6 months. For me , everything is new. I like the air, the sky, the sea that is in Australia. The scenery in Australia is very beautiful. The architectural style is different from China. The Chinese traditional architecture gives you a kind of mysterious and solemn. Due to the overgrowth of population ,most of modern Chinese architecture is tall buildings. It gives you a pressure. But Australian architecture makes you feel leisure and comfortable. Not only architectural but also many things are different between China and Australia. Australia contains people who come from different countries . It contains different culture, background, habit and so on.
In order to live in Australia I need to improve my English and learn the culture of Australia. I need to work hard and meet those challenges. Although I feel confused and lost , rely on God everything will better. I think it is a new beginning for me.
