The place where I live

Beverly Hills was a very special suburb for me. My first school was in Beverly Hills Intensive English Centre, this centre is the first step for high school students arriving from overseas and wishing to continue their English learning and education in NSW.  I was very excited when my brother told me that I would be going to school to learn English. I was looking forward to go to school after I arrived to Australia from Hong Kong. My brother showed me how to catch the train from Campsie to Beverly Hills. The English centre location was very convenient. It was just next to Beverly Hills train station and Beverly Hills Girl High School. All the students were same as me; just arrived in Australia to learn English for high school. The teachers were very nice and patience. I studied there about 6 months then I went to normal high school. I was very happy to study there and lucky to have had an opportunity to learn English before I went to high school. My daughter studies in Beverly Hills Girl High School now. She’s happy and settle in this school. I’m so glad that she likes this high school.

After about one year, I moved into Beverly Hills to live. I've been living in say more than 10 years now. I first lived in a unit on the King Georges Road. It was very busy road but not as busy as now. Before M5 motorway was built, it wasn't too bad, but since M5 motorway opened in August 1992, the road has become very busy and the traffic is very bad. It became very noisy and hazard for me. So I moved to quieter street in Beverly Hills. This suburb is very convenience location. It has a lots of restaurants and many different varieties of food to choose from. It has become a very popular spot for dinner. It also has the cinema, hotels and newsagent. They’re all very close to train station. It’s very convenience to go to Hurstville and Roselands by car as well.

I’m so glad that I’ve had the opportunities to live in this area, in spite of the changes it has gone through, and happy to see this area has gone through, still keep its own characteristics.
