My Journey - Ha

I came to this country by aeroplane from Hong Kong. I escaped from Vietnam with my family in May 1989. We arrived in Hong Kong on 7-5-1989. My family arrived in England on 15-7-92. We lived in a reception centre for about three months then we got a house in London.

When I was on the aeroplane to England I was feeling very nervous because I couldn’t speak any English, but I was very happy and excited that I’m going to live in England - a strange country in which I had never lived before.

Now I have been living here for nearly a year, I go to secondary school, I learn a lot of new things. All the teachers are very kind and helpful. I feel much happier now as I can speak English and make some new friends.
