Grammar
Darwin is one of the fastest growing cities in Australia and every year many new residents make the decision to call Darwin their home. However, every year, people also decide to leave Darwin permanently. So is Darwin a place to settle in? It has to be admitted that the cost of living in Darwin is very high compared to other cities, and renting a house can be very expensive for families. The price of food and the cost of petrol are also higher than in other states. Darwin has a lot of dangerous animals. Crocodiles make it impossible to swim in most of the rivers and the box jellyfish makes a dip in the ocean impossible in summer. Flies, mosquitoes and sandflies are a nuisance when people want to sit outside in the evenings. Darwins climate is difficult during the wet season, when the humidity makes life very uncomfortable and some people develop rashes as a result of the tropical climate. The sun is very strong and this contributes to a higher risk of skin cancer. On the other hand, Darwin is a very safe place, with little crime and not a big problem with drugs. This makes Darwin a great place to raise a family. People from many different nationalities live happily together without racial tension. Darwin is also very clean. The air is not polluted and the streets are not crowded. The pace of life is very relaxed and as a result, living in Darwin is not as stressful as living in other Australian cities. While it might be hot, the weather makes it possible for people to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle in the dry season. Then people can fish, camp and enjoy a picnic at the beach, while watching the sunset. Because of the warm weather, people wear casual clothes most of the time. All in all Darwin is a fantastic place to settle in. It is safe and Darwin residents enjoy a relaxed lifestyle in a clean and healthy environment. It is obvious why increasing numbers of people are deciding to call Darwin their home.

What are employability skills?

These are general skills that are useful in all workplace contexts. All training in Australia includes employability skills. Employability skills are also known as key skills, core skills, essential skills, key competencies and transferable skills. The eight employability skills are: Communication Teamwork Problem solving Self-management Planning and organising Initiative and enterprise Learning Technology
Why are employability skills important?

To get a job and be successful in the Australian workforce you need to demonstrate that you have technical skills and employability skills. Many employers see employability skills as the most important skills for the workplace. Employers usually want people to show that they have these skills in their written job applications and in job interviews.
Example
I dont think you can blame parents when their children commit crimes. Children get into trouble for many reasons.
Grammar
I dont think you can blame parents when their children commit crimes. Children get into trouble for many reasons. First of all, poverty and lack of education sometimes cause social problems that can lead to crime. This is seen in the crime statistics which are regularly reported in the media. So poor children need support to help them get out of trouble. Next, parents are not the only influence on their children. Teenagers, for example, are strongly influenced by their friends and the media. They do not always listen to their parents and so their parents sometimes lose control over them. To sum up, it does not matter how hard parents try to bring up their children. In the end children are responsible for their own actions.

How do employability skills relate to language?

Generalised nouns and noun groups
Many of the employability skills depend on language. For example communicating effectively in the workplace includes: listening and understanding speaking clearly and directly reading independently writing for an audience showing understanding of other peoples feelings negotiating responsively understanding customer needs persuading effectively networking being assertive sharing information being able to use languages other than English numeracy skills
How do employability skills relate to cultural knowledge?

Employability skills reflect certain cultural styles that are valued in Australian workplaces. For example in Australian workplaces, it is acceptable to: use first names when talking to managers make suggestions to improve things in the workplace joke with workmates use informal language socialise with workmates mix casual conversation with more formal talk eg: chatting over coffee before a meeting starts.

On the other hand, Darwin is a very safe place, with little crime and not a big problem with drugs. This makes Darwin a great place to raise a family. People from many different nationalities live happily together without racial tension. Darwin is also very clean. The air is not polluted and the streets are not crowded. The pace of life is very relaxed and as a result, living in Darwin is not as stressful as living in other Australian cities. While it might be hot, the weather makes it possible for people to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle in the dry season. Then people can fish, camp and enjoy a picnic at the beach, while watching the sunset. Because of the warm weather, people wear casual clothes most of the time.

All in all Darwin is a fantastic place to settle in. It is safe and Darwin residents enjoy a relaxed lifestyle in a clean and healthy environment. It is obvious why increasing numbers of people are deciding to call Darwin their home.

Recounts
Purpose: To tell what happened
Personal recounts: telling a series of events that have happened to someone
Example
Lisa lived in a house in the middle of eight terraces. She had a lovely garden in her frontyard which was full of sweet smelling, colourful flowers. Lisas garden shone like a jewel in the dull city street, until one summer when the city was hit by the worst drought in twenty years. Every day the garden baked in the sun. Lisa watered it morning and night but the garden began to wither in the blistering heat. She decided the garden needed more water but there was no tap in the front yard. Lisa went to the hardware store and bought two hoses which she joined together. Twice a day she connected the hose to the tap in the backyard and snaked it through the kitchen, the dining room, the hallway and out through the front door. In this way Lisa could soak her thirsty garden. One day a neighbour stopped to chat and Lisa turned the nozzle to stop the water running. They had been chatting for ten minutes when the neighbour looked towards the front door. The horrified look on her neighbours face made Lisa swing around. Water was cascading down the front step. She rushed into the house followed by her neighbour. There they saw a fountain spurting from the connection in the hose and a lake which stretched down the hallway and into the dining room and kitchen.

Lisa lived in a house in the middle of eight terraces. She had a lovely garden in her frontyard which was full of sweet smelling, colourful flowers. Lisas garden shone like a jewel in the dull city street, until one summer when the city was hit by the worst drought in twenty years. Every day the garden baked in the sun. Lisa watered it morning and night but the garden began to wither in the blistering heat. She decided the garden needed more water but there was no tap in the front yard. Lisa went to the hardware store and bought two hoses which she joined together. Twice a day she connected the hose to the tap in the backyard and snaked it through the kitchen, the dining room, the hallway and out through the front door.

She rushed into the house followed by her neighbour. There they saw a fountain spurting from the connection in the hose and a lake which stretched down the hallway and into the dining room and kitchen. Lisa splashed to the back of the house and turned off the tap. When she returned to the house she stood helplessly in the middle of the flood and started to cry. Dont worry, said her neighbour. He left her standing ankle deep in water and came back with some more neighbours who helped clean up the mess. A couple of days after the flood a man who lived a few doors away knocked on her door. On his blue overalls was written Wilsons Plumbing Services. I think you need a tap out the front. I can put it on in a jiffy. Lisa didnt know how to thank him. Now her garden would survive the drought.
