1 Coming to England
My name is Carol Sanders.
I live in England now,but when I was younger,I lived in Hong Kong.My father was a businessman there and my mother worked as a secretary.We lived in Hong Kong for seven years.
I was happy at school, with lots of friends,and we had a good time.I liked pop music—the Rolling St ones,David Bowie and Jake Rosso were my favourites.
Jake Rosso was my favourite singer. He died in a car accident the year I left school, but I listened to his pop records all the time.I had hundreds of pictures and photos of him on my bedroom wall.
Then one day in winter when I was seventeen,things began to go wrong for me.
My father went to Australia on business.I loved him very much and didn't like him going away.
‘Come home quickly,’I always said to him.
He was in Australia for two weeks.Then, on the day of his journey home, an aeroplane from Sydney crashed into the sea just south of Hong Kong.Everybody on the plane died.
