Dear Diary,

I finally got a diary! Online! So siblings can’t read it and it doesn’t get lost! Yahoo! Even through I think there are spelling mistakes, I know what I have written. Let me first practice my hiragana (Japanese). See ya,

Jane

Dear Diary (again),

Do you know what? I’ll introduce myself and my life. My name is Jane Miao. On some rolls at school, it says Haojue Miao. Please note that it is Jane Miao. Ok, let me talk about everything. I was about 3-4 (or something else) years old when I moved here, Australia. I was born in China and attended Kindergarten there. Then, the moving bit started. Then the housing. Then, I was here. DONE! Now family members. I have 5 people in my family. Mum, dad, Haolin (younger sister) and another younger sister (Shelley). Haolin who is almost 7 now, is born in China, like me. Shelley, she is born in Australia. Now you better wonder why I am at home, not school. That’s because COVID-19. My bestie is Sarah Xu. Do you know that in like 9 days it’s my birthday? Happy birthday to me! I’ll talk about school. My not-so-strict teacher, Mrs Davey, is at school. My desk partner is illogical Lukas C (we have 2 people pronounced Luc/kas. I hope things will change, do you.
