Just as the Winston Hills blaze was contained, 80 cars were damaged or destroyed at another fire at Sydney Olympic Park at Homebush.A discarded cigarette or spark from a car was suspected of starting a grass fire that spread to the vehicles,while 1500 people were evacuated from the Sydney Aquatic Centre.

Workers Protest

I think I have join a protest rally if I were not happy about something because I think it is my power.

Many employees of the state are getting together to protest the way they are treated at work. These people are not happy.they  says that minorities are not being treated fairly at work.One woman who worked for the state for fifteen years was fired. She does not think that she should have lost her job. This woman is angry and feels that she was discriminated against because of her race. This group of people is very unhappy about their working conditions. They do not feel that they are being treated fairly. They gathered to protest what they are calling discrimination against minorities in the workplace.

I think fairly is important so I have join the Workers Protest.

Merrylands Council


Dear Sir/Madam

I write this letter to support the council to make beach an alcohol-free zone.It's a very good thing.I agree with it.I think it's important.

Firstly alcohol can make people emotional.That's eary to got fighting with each other and people can put many danger.

Secondly,alcohol can make the beach dirty.Some people drink and eat in the beach.They make rubbish everywhere.

Finally,alcohol is bad for your body and can make you sick.

For all of these reasons, I support council to make beach an alcohol-free zone.



Yours Faithfully

Interviews with recruiter should be treated exactly like interviews with employers.You won't meet the employer if you don't impress the consultant. Some consultants will ask you in for a chat even when they don't have a role going.All the information you provide should be genuine and present you in the most positive light.Recruitment websites have stacks of information about job interviews so use them.Also,don't treat a consultant as a career coach.
