Tram Nguyen (Year 5) - Consolation Prize

 Hi my name is Tram Nguyen. My dream is to travel the world and explore the seven seas. Firstly, I would explore the rest of Australia. Secondly, I would go to Vietnam by plane to visit my aunty and uncles. I would also explore Vietnam. I would go to Saigon first, then Hanoi, Dalat, Hai Phong and all the other cities. After that I would go to visit my old friend who has left Australia. My friend now lives in Apia. I would tell her about my adventures and she will join me.

 Next I will travel back to the country I was born in, Norway. Firstly, I would visit my relatives and then I would see some big fjords, cliffs, rugged uplands and forested valleys. I would visit Norway in winter because it snow then. I like snow, but I have not seen it before because when I lived there I was too young to remember the snow. Then I would go to the United States of America. There I would visit the President and the major buildings. After that I will visit New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, and all the other States. Finally, I would visit Houston where my uncle lives. While I am traveling I will write a book about each of the country that I visit. You will hear about it a bit later. 

Now lets get back to my dream. Where was I? Oh yes, after visiting United States I would go to Nepal and climb Mount Everest. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world so I would give them some money. Since I have not been to Canada, I would go there next. Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Quebec and Ottawa are some of the cities that I will go to. Next, I will go to Korea. I would like to see the mountains. I will not go into details of all the things that I would like to see, but I will tell you that I would like to visit every island and country, give money to the poor and help others.

 Now back to my book. I would like to sell millions of copies of my book and become famous. Now I that I have explored the whole world, I would like to tell you about exploring the seven seas. I will give you all the details of what I would like to do: Okay, I have just finished exploring and I have gone back to Australia to visit my friends and family. I would stay there for three months. In that time I would my stuff ready for my voyage. Once the three months time is up, I would say goodbye again and set off with some loyal friends, about twenty of them: Hayley, Tina, Dalena, Abby and lots more. These are my friends now, and I hope they will still be my friends then.

 Okay, the first day, I would get my suitcases, friends and plenty of foods, enough to last me for a year. I will bring some clothes, books, pen and paper, and some other stuff. Well you see, I will not be seven seas, I will be exploring the twenty eight seas. Even though I am going to write this like a journal, it is still my dream.

 Let’s start. First day I would leave Port Jackson, also known as Sydney harbour, at about seven am with my friends and my gear. I would have a big, big ship with sails. Under the deck there would be five bedrooms with two bunk beds in each. There will be two bathrooms in each cabin. I will get a cabin by myself because I am the Captain. I will name myself Captain Smart because I am smart. My friends and I will sail to the Caribbean Sea first. I’d be sailing the ship and be in charge till 10 am. From 8 am till 9 am, most of my crew will be having breakfast. At 10 am, the half that had been helping me will be having breakfast, including myself. I would leave my first mate in charge.

 Once, I have finish breakfast I will take over again till 3 pm where I have  my afternoon nap, but by eleven pm we would already be at the Caribbean Sea. Three of my mates would be scuba diving while some will be fishing and looking after the ship. Then suddenly there was a big great storm. Everyone would run to their cabins while my first mate and I steer the ship. I’m kind of being a pirate aren’t I?

 Okay, else get on with my dream. After the storm I would find and island and name it “TRAM’S PARADISE”. It would have lots of palm trees, coconuts and beaches. I would make my own country. I would build libraries, shops, schools, banks, toilets and lots more. Then I would keep sailing.

 This pretty much happened to all the other seas too, but when are passing the Loch Ness, I would like to see the Loch Ness monster. I would become my friend and I would give it some food. Now, because I have given most of my foods to my friend, I would have to go to Scotland to get some more food. I would probably bring a friend with me when I visit Scotland.

 Well I haven’t got much more to write about, but I’ll try. I’m too tired to write about every little bit of information so I’ll just tell you the ending. After two years of exploring, my friends and I returned to Australia. I’d publish all my books and name them “Tram’s Voyage to the Norwegian Sea”, and so on. I might then right a book for each of the Islands that I discovered, and publish them too. I would become famous all over Australia. I’d like to be on TV, radios, in magazines and newspapers.

 Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you the seas I’ll visit. Okay, lets start with Red Sea, Black Sea, Norwegian Sea, Caribbean Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea, Banda Sea, China Sea, Caspian Sea, Dead Sea, Sea of Japan, Coral Sea, Irish Sea, North Sea, and the list just keeps going.

 Well that’s my dream. After all my adventures I would probably want to live a normal life.
