Excerpt from a speech delivered by Ms TAO Xiaolei, senior student from the School of English for International Business, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. 15 April 2016

"I miss Australia. I miss the peace of Brisbane, the amazing food of Sydney, the wonderful galleries and museums of Melbourne, the splendid scenery of the Gold Coast and last but not least my dear friends and professors at UQ.

I can still remember clearly the noises possums make at the top of my house in the evening and the awful taste of vegemite… no offence. And the delicious corned beef I had on the farm.

I could tell you stories of my Aussie adventure all day and all night but today I want to talk about three words that impressed on me most when I was there. That is diversity, potentiality and family.

Diversity. In class my professor always emphasised the importance of diversity, whether in human resource management or trade and business. Globalisation and localisation has been the core of our case studies. People in Australia treat difference with respect.

Potentiality. "Why not just try?" My foreign friends in Australia always tell me this. In the past it was hard to imagine I could complete a 3000 word essay with critical thinking and high formality but I achieved this… I got the highest mark.

Family. I have been taken care of by my Australian families, professors and friends. Even the bus drivers, the cashiers, and the strangers doing morning exercise always said hello to me with big smiles.

All in all, I believe this colourful, wonderful, amazing experience will be my life treasure."
