The first half of my life-30 years of wind and wate
I am a standard post-80s, personality fashion has ideas. Along the way, smooth and flat. After graduating from college, not willing to spend his time in the second-tier provincial capital city, he left his hometown at the age of 24 and began his career.
To Beijing, very lucky to enter the famous Baidu company, ushered in the peak of their career development, at that time, I met a group of industry celebrities, but also ambitious career planning for the future.
A few years later, smoothly in Beijing to buy a house, get married, have children, and my husband and I have a good career. But after having a child, we began to have more different ideas, and began to think and prepare for the child`s future.
The initial experience of immigrants-the twists and turns of the IELTS examination
A casual chat with a friend in early 2014 gave me the first time I had the idea of immigration. After trying to make a comprehensive assessment, my husband scored the highest score in all aspects. He only needed four IELTS scores to follow the path of Australian skilled immigrants. My husband is a master`s degree student from 211 key universities. IELTS English grades are not difficult for him.
All of a sudden, the train of thought of immigration is like a spring pouring into my head. But on the other hand, our career is in the ascendant period, in Beijing is also relatively stable, to put aside all this to choose immigration, after all, is not an easy task.
During that time, we discussed the matter of immigration many times, read a lot of official accounts articles of our life after going abroad, also consulted our friends living abroad, and finally made up our minds. Anyway, take advantage of the current enthusiasm to try it first.
The first step is to pass the IELTS pass. I began to use all the time to collect all kinds of IELTS examination review materials, but also traveled to the major Australian immigration forums, QQ group. In the process, I met a lot of good friends of immigrants, I began to enter a brand-new circle, most of them are successful career, but not willing to live in the domestic life of all kinds of elite personnel. So every day in the group chat, communicate with each other immigration progress, and watch who successfully sign, has become the focus of my life.
In the summer of 2014, my husband began his first IELTS exam, which was our first formal step towards immigration. Unfortunately, only oral English did not reach the standard at that time, so we started two and three brushes, and after countless nights, weekends, holidays and holidays, we devoted almost all our time to IELTS, but our oral performance still did not improve. It`s only 0.5 points short at a time.
Although we both know that time is running out, we still don`t give up and continue to practice hard. After taking the exam again, I remember clearly that my husband telephoned me that there should not be much problem with oral English this time, and we finally saw hope.
However, by fate, the IELTS 6.5 spoken English standard, writing has become 5.5. At that time, the frustration of my heart can not be expressed, is this really the will of God? I felt for the first time that maybe immigration was just a dream for me.
In 2015, still the hot summer, he walked into the IELTS examination room for the sixth time. Finally, the kung fu person, see spoken 7.5 points, we two hugged and wept. For so many nights a year, my husband said he didn`t know how long he could hold on, but he didn`t want to give up like that. KauIELTS is not only a test of man`s knowledge, but also a test of perseverance.
The first difficult situation has passed and the subsequent process has been smooth. We have submitted the EOI, backtone, medical examination, and signed. After nearly two years, we have obtained Australia permanent resident status as we wish.
-settled in Melbourne.-I love life here.
In early 2016, the first short trip to Australia, the first time the family went abroad a little nervous, customs staff smile politeness gave me a first sense of intimacy to Australia. We looked at Sydney and Melbourne, Australia`s largest city, bustling with fashion and job opportunities; Melbourne was quieter and more cultural. We prefer Melbourne, because she is much like Beijing, so we finally decided to settle in Melbourne.
At the end of 2016, for the second time in Australia, our family of three pushed ten suitcases out of the airport and looked up at the pure blue sky. My heart was so warm. This is the country we are about to live in for a long time.
In 2017, we had one of the toughest years for new immigrants. We moved home from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere, facing a host of difficulties such as finding a house, finding a job, finding a school, adapting to life and so on. In the end, we found a suitable school for our children, my husband got a professional job, and I realized my desire to return to school while working in the real estate field.
Those difficult days, in retrospect, are a valuable asset in life. Thanks to all our friends for their help and encouragement, now that our life is gradually on the right track, I have never been so full. Life in Australia is just beginning.
-the future will be better.-your life, your call.
Through the most difficult first year, I believe the future will be better and better, there are still a lot of things to explore. In the new year, I will try more new things: diving, surfing, camping, taking my children to see more beautiful scenery, to experience a different life. In my thirties, life, for me, has opened up another new model.
Immigrants are not just because of the children, because of the air, because of food safety, but because of a dream of our own, we are tired of the immobilization of a stereotyped life, and we desire a more free state of mind, so we want to try different possibilities. Expand the boundaries of life and life. Growth is to dare to go out of their comfort zone, bravely face the unknown, so that they can practice their hearts more and more powerful, with a strong heart, why fear where to live, from where to start again?
How many possibilities will there be in your life? Everything is in your own hands.
