Phoebe's fire alarm

Phoebe was sleeping when  some sound from her living room woke her up. It was the fire alarm beeping, so she tried to turn it off but she couldn't find the button  so she removed the fire alarm and put it on table and tried to go back to sleep but the  fire alarm started beeping again. Phoebe took the batteries off but it was still beeping so Phoebe tried to disconect the wire but she couldn't find the good one so she got angry and and smashed the fire alarm and she thought that she did a good job and tried to go to sleep  when she heard again the beeping alarm, so she took the fire alarm wrapped it with her blanket and trow it in the rubbish chute and went back to her flat.
While she was trying to sleep, someone knocked on her door.She was so annoyed by the alarm noise that when she heard the beeping, she thought that the fire alarm knocking on the door and she said'' fire alarm'' but a voice behind the door said''Phoebe buffy''in fact it was the fireman so Phoebe asked him how to turn it off, the fireman told her to just press the reset button.Phoebe was happy to hear that but while she tried to reset the button, she found that the reset button  was broken and sitting on the floor, she was so angry that she screamed as she knows then there was noting she could do to stop the beeping alarm.

Health expo at Saint George Tafe

Last Wednesday a health and lifestyle expo  was organized by the students association, It was a very rich day because of the number of different things  which were exhibited. In fact there were loads of exhibitors like Australian Hearing, Kidney Health Australia, Dental service, Isagenix, Australian Red Cross etc.

I talked to three or four of the exhibitors and I learnt a lot about kidney disease.  For example, what is kidney disease ?  who are more at risk, what are the signs, what is the treatment . I found all this information extremely useful. I also spoke to the dental service and they let me know that it's free for kids as well for adults if they have a centrelink health card .Things I was ignorant of before.

I was really impressed  by the variety of  food from different countries and also  the  friendly climate between students while they sold the raffle tickets.

To sum up I think it was a successful and useful day because it was very rich in advertising about diseases , fitness, natural medicines and health food. It was  also a lucky  day for me because I won a beautiful ipod in the raffle.
