Natural Phenomenon

An aurora is a one of the most beautiful natural phenomena, which can be seen near the North and South Pole. We can't see that everyday. An aurora can be seen during the winter with very low temperature and you should be with good luck.

How nice is it!! The aurora is in the sky, where is 100 km far from the ground, and we can see it in the night. There are some types of aurora, it has different shape and colour. Usually, its colour is white or red-green.

How does the aurora come up? It's very complicating me but, basically, electrificated particles from the sun and magnetism systems of the earth cause an aurora. There is a "plasma seat" in the sky, and plasma photons geather into the seat. These photons start to light themselves when they fall down quickly to the earth.

Teriyaki salmon

A sweetend sauce from Japan, which is called "teriyaki sauce", is very famous all over the world. Usually, we mix soy sauce and sugar together to make this sauce. When you broil some slices of meat, like chicken, fish etc., with teriyaki sauce, you realize a nice combination of the tastes. I like teriyaki sauce, and I want to describe my favourite recipe.

1 table spoon of cooking wine
salt and pepper to season

Teriyaki sauce
2 table spoon of soy souce
2 table spoon of cooking wine

2, Mix all ingredientes of salmon patty into one bowl with the onion and devide into 3 or 4 pieces.

3, Heat some oil in a pan, and bake the salmon mixture.

4,While you bake them, mix all ingredientes of teriyaki sauce to prepare.

Coles!


My favourite place in Sydney is Coles. When I go there, I become hungry and creative about cooking. I can find every thing I want in Coles. There are many kind of foods and I often see something I've never seen. When I went there for the first time, I was surprised at the size of  the shelves and each item. Those are absolutely huger than my country's.
What I like most about it is its private brand. It's called "coles $mart buy". The advertisement say "Why spend more on the basics?" I can find my foods, soaps, papers and any other daily items which are from that brand. I cannot stop going to Coles everyday!
