Mark Smith
Mark is a 12-year-old boy from Oxford, England. He recently moved to Melbourne, Australia with his parents and his little sister Kim. They decided to move because Mark’s dad found a job there. They’ve been to Australia on holiday before, but have never stayed for more than 3 weeks. The move was a big adventure and Mark was nervous at first about going to school in a different country. “I hoped that I would make friends and wouldn’t find the lessons too difficult”. But it didn’t take him long to settle in. At the weekends, Mark goes surfing with his friends. Life to Mark isn’t too different from life in England.
