Dear Liz,

I am writing to you about my studying abroad time.

As you know, I am studying in Sydney university as a freshman. Everything has been fine to me except two problems: travelling and working part-time.

I must say that I am very bad at navigation. I have been lost ten times since I came there to study. The public transportation is very convenient yet unfamiliar with me since that in our country is not developed.

I am working as a sale person for a convenience store downtown. However, I run into a problem of lack experience and struggling to balance the work and my study. I can not quit any of these as I need money to afford other daily necessities.

I am hoping that you can give me some advices on these two problems. Did you come into these troubles when you studied aboard? How did you tackle them?

I am looking for your response.

Best wishes,
