You should read " The Australian Connection"

... because it tells you a lot of Australia. Particulary about the nature. For example the rain forest, the Kangoroo Island, south of Adelaide or the St. Mary's Peak.

The book is written in the past and easy to understand. I found it good, that if you didn't know a word you were able to look at the end of the book, there is a small vokabulary.

I would read the book definitely again, therefore I still can recommend it to YOU!

The Mini Saga ( 50 words) Chapter 9 and 10

After seeing the dolphins everything changed. Joe and Pete drink a lot and they become racist.
Nobody wants to buy the albums from "The Beat Crew" and Dani decides to go to England with Alex, where they establish a new band, called "The Dolphins" and celebrate New Year's Eve together.

Chapter 8 "Up to the Top..."

In my opinion, the 8th chapter was very good and to the end it was amazing, (with the
dolphins).And all people in this book were very happy.
Dani and the band are that because "The Beat Crew"are on "The Chart Show" and number one.

At the end, Alex and Dani were on the beach when they saw a lot of dolphins and Dani said that they were like them. Alex wasn't in the same opinion like Dani, but he didn't say it.
(Why do you think he didn't do that?)

The 7th chapter -> Father and son

" And, of course, Alex understood only to well! "

With this sentence, the author will tell us that Alex can understand why Tom left the family and went to Australia. If Alex would be Tom maybe he had react just like him in the situation, because he had never thought that he would miss his friends and his mother in Enland, when he is in Australia.

My diary entry " written by Tom"

---------------------------------------

Friday, 8 February

Dear diary,

now Alex and I were for four days on the Whitsunday Island. Today I told Alex why I left the family. At first I was very nervous and then really glad about his reaction. And now I am so happy that my son is here in Australia.

Alex is a very clever boy and he looks a little bit like his mum. But when I see him he reminds me so often when I was a young boy.

Your Tom

After I read the 6th chapter

If you ask me Alex was very nervous but also he was sad at the same time.

Later, he was very angry and disappointed about his father and they had a small argument. Alex can't understand that Tom never contact him in the last 16 years.

I was a little bit right when I wrote that Alex ask his father a lot of questions. He didn't asked questions about his life in Australia but he asked him why he never visited him.

(p. 32 l. 2/3) "Wasn't I good enough for you? Didn't you like me?"

Before I read the 6th chapter

I think when Alex speak with his father he will be very excites and nervous, because he hadn't seen him for 16 years.At first Alex won't know what to say or do. But then after a while Alex will ask Tom a lot of questions about his new life in Australia and maybe he will ask him why he never contact him.

Questions about chapter five!!!

1 . Why didn't Terry saw the cow?

2.How much money wants Ron for the help? Do you think it's to much?

3.At the end Alex played a wrong note. Why?
