Conclusion

Now, I am much more confident when I talk to my tutors or answer their questions. Moreover, the trip helps a lot in my part time job. I work as a customer service assistant in the airport. I am now able to give directions in English more fluently to the tourists in airport and communicate with them more effectively.

I use different expressions learned in the trip when I talk to fiends. I also explained to them the different expressions of Hong Kong and Australian English.

When I have new friends from Australia, I will be mindful of the Aussie etiquette and avoid asking him questions about money such as how much he makes.

When I come back to Hong Kong, I share the experience in Australia with my friends. I explain the differences in dining habits using the example that I observe in the Chinese restaurant in China Town. Aussie has own ways to enjoy dim sum. On the other hand, I also tell them the shops there close early compared to Hong Kong. Some of them even close on holidays. Australia has much slower pace of life compared to Hong Kong.
