Information about my culture
If someone wants to get married in the Congo they need to get engaged. After a man is engaged he goes to the wife’s family to talk about the marriage. He take drinks like beer cakes and some money. They discuss how much money the man will give the family to be married to the girl. He can pay about $10,000 for the engagement. The father of the daughter will say I need 20,000 for my daughter. They will negotiate. When they agree on an amount the bride’s family will welcome the groom’s family into their family. After I year they get married.

= Informati n about my self = Hello everyone my name is Debaba. I come from the Congo. I was born in 1993 in my Country. When I was in my country I didn’t go to School because I was so young. I started my school in Tanzania and then I went to school in Zambia, Namibia and Malawi. I was very good at school work. In Malawi my life was so bad because my mother died. After my mother died I started to live with my father with my four sisters and three Brothers. My favourite sport is soccer. I want to study to level four English at Southbank Institute of Technology and then I would like to study a course in mechanicmedia type="file" key="debaba 1.wma" width="300" height="300" so I can get an apprenticeship. After that I will find a job as a mechanic and I would like my life to be a model for other people from my Country. I would like teachers as well to support me so I can achieve my gaol. In Australia people have the opportunity to study so I wonder why other people, if they come to Australia, don’t focus on their Education. They just look for a job straight away. I feel lucky that I can study hard and learn from teachers and other students. This is what I would like do and I would like be. = omedia type="file" key="nunda1.wma" width="300" height="300" =
