Harmony day

Harmony Day is not celebrated in my country . but I know the concepts of the word . In my country we use this one little bit different way,and that is"though we have many colours,religion and tribes,however we are same." We should respect other culture and religion if we want have a peaceful life.




In Australia, Harmony Day cebrated very spreadly because this country is a multiculture.People from different countries carring different attitude , come here to live and they want to adopted here. in that point of view all they are Australian.





21th march is the Harmony Day but there was a public holiday so we celebrated it 20th march. We 're gathering in building A at 10 o'clock. I wore my traditional costume SHARI. It is say that harmony color is orange and my SHARI's colour was orange. We enjoyed two people's speech about there live-experienced in here. One of my country person sang a popular song of my country.That song describe feelings for their own motherland when anyone live abroad! I felt proud coz it was in bangla though most of the people didn't understand its meaning. At that time Marion said to me that I can be singing.One day she offererd me to sing a song into the harmony day but I felt nervous.


by the way last we all togather tried to sang a song that was WE ARE AUSTRALIAN.
