Melbourne Cup

2007-11-12T00:45:00.000-08:00

Melbourne Cup - it is a big competition in a Jockey Club.

Melbourne Cup takes place in Melbourne, Victoria on the 6^th of November every year.

People dress nicely, they celebrate this day as a big holiday, have fun and competitions.

A sweep is the money you deposit for a horse and in case of victory, your amount of money will increase.

I’d be looking for a hat.

Melbourne Cup existed from 1861, so it has been around for 46 years.

Phar Lap is Australia’s the most famous racehorse, because a winner of 37 of his 51 starts, he started favorite in three successive Melbourne Cups, the only horse in the long history of Australia’s most famous race accorded that distinction.

In the National Museum of Australia we can see Phar Lap’s heart, weighing 6.2 kilograms.

Delta Blues trained ridden by Yasunari Iwata won the Melbourne Cup in 2006.

I think that it is a very special holiday and it is interesting to take part in it and to experience this national feeling of pride and competition.

Melbourne Cup Day is Australia's most famous Tuesday. At 3.00 pm AEST, on the first Tuesday in November, Australians everywhere stop for one of the world's most famous horse races - the Melbourne Cup. It is very important to Australian people and they have a very good time and experience on that day. People make sweeps – deposit money for the victory for the specific horse. Women wear very beautiful dresses and pay special attention in choosing hats, it became a symbol for the racing and they have a competition for the best hat each year. Australians even have their favorite horse- Phar Lap. Its heart is now in the National Museum of Australia. The 2006races were won by Japanese horse Delta Blues. This holiday is a very special event for all Australian nation and it will continue its traditions in many years.

About people living on traffic

2007-09-25T06:21:00.000-07:00

I read the article about people living on the traffic in Mexico City. I think this is very odd. This families live in bad conditions and their children can't have a normal childhood. I feel sorry for people who has this type of life. It is very difficult, they have to do all the same things every day, like stay on the hot sun and sell things or clean the cars. These families have difficult lives but i hope that they will gain enough profit to provide good life education for their children.

women's job, men's job

2007-09-25T00:10:00.000-07:00

I agree with everybody. But I say my opinion about it.

Everybody can choice a job which they wont, but they have knows about the different jobs needs different knowledge’s and themselves conditions of body, because it very important for every jobs. You can work everyone, but you have to remember about your family. Therefore women usually have different job then men.

Long time ago women didn’t have choice of work, they had to been sit at home and look after children and took care for them family and household. But now times changed and everybody has a choice.

When I stood forward my choice of job, I did think about my future, health, body, strength and my knowledge’s. I wonted be a trainer of tigers and lions, but I understood about it. This work needs more strengths, willpower and more patience’s. I had patience’s, but I did have more strengths. I had more knowledge’s and I did choice for my job – computer programming.
