Halloween
Halloween again! I don't know much about it. I only know that American people celebrate Halloween. Australian people didn't celebrate Halloween traditionally. However, children have started trick-or-treating in these few years. The shops sell those horrible costumes and toys. Other then these, I know few about Halloween.

Week 2 - 16th October 2012
Finally I've got the password working.
Last week's text type exercise was a good one. I didn't get 100% correct. I should work harder.
This week, our challenging task is to untangle the mixed words given as below, and make two sentences.
I sorted out the words and made these sentences:
A shop in Bankstwon, Western Sydney was fined $12,000 in January, for Salmonella outbreak.
After consuming the poisoning bakehouse made products including bread and hot food, 83 customers fell sick and 20 ill people hospitalised.
Eventally I found out the original sentences from Marion. It is written as:
A WESTERN Sydney hot bread shop has been fined $12,000 over a salmonella outbreak that made 83 people sick, including 20 who were hospitalised.
The customers fell ill with food poisoning after consuming products from teh Bankstown Bakehouse in January.
It is a good exercise for sorting out the words and organising the sentences. I enjoy doing it.
