an area for the very rich people and there is a part for the poor people. I come from the poor side of the city. The very rich people never cross over to the poor side of the city. But sometimes the poor people save their money and cross over to visit the beach on the rich side.

　　Dad drove buses. He would leave for work just after 4 am. His pay depended on the number of people who rode in his bus, so he would keep driving until he had made enough money for the day. Mum worked as a barber(理发师). She did not come home until late at night. My brother, sister and I spent a lot of time with my grandparents.

　　Dad had lived in Australia when he was younger. He told us about the large parks covered with grass. He told us about the beaches that were close to the cities which anyone could visit. Dad thought it would be better if we moved to Australia.

　　We could only take things that could fit in our suitcases(手提箱). I took clothes and a few special things that reminded(使想起) me of Chile. I took photographs, a box covered with sand from the beaches of Chile and traditional toy.

　　I was very sad to leave my friends and family, especially my grandmother. My grandmoter had always looked after me. I didn't want to leave her, but Dad said that she would come and visit us in Australia one day. When I left, I cut off some of my hair so that my grandmother would remember me.

　　Flying to Australia was a long journey. We stopped in Argentina and New Zealand before finally reaching Australia.
