In the past , British control the world including Australian and it made English being a international language however, because of the culture in different places ,the accent of English was changed by Various countries' culture .

i come from Hong Kong . Hong Kong is England's colony , so I have studied English accent since childhood . Some Australian English accent different to vowels of English .i had a misunderstanding that occurred because of the my accent and Australian accent .


This event was occurred when i had just arrived Australia . When I got off the aircraft , i did not know what way should i go .i asked one of the staff where should i go to take my luggage . Then he showed me a direction and said " Welcome to Australia to die " and his appearance was very deceitful . I was afraid extremely , because I did not know does Australia have any racial discrimination .

When I turned towards the direction which he refered , i saw a woman who seem benevolent and kind .Because I was afraid that the deceitful man plays a trick on me , I decided ask the woman again where should i go . "there" the women showed me the same direction and said "Welcome to Australia today".i said"thank you"then i went to the direction . When i was going to take my luggage ,i laughed.because of the misunderstanding.
