Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. "Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English I like to talk to them in their own language," he said. "I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language."

The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers.

Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. "I decided to make my own app because there weren't many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn't powerful enough," he said.

His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news.

He said learning computer programming to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. "I'm planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics."

The room was filled with anger. We couldn't stay together for a single minute8 a phone call came. Lily answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her cover (被子), sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through9. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.

Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so lost in my work that I even didn't notice Lily had10. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression a kind of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, "Thanks."

From that moment on, we began to11 each other's habits and differences. Lily and I stayed roommates for the rest of the college years. We didn't always12 each other, but we learned the key to living together peacefully: respecting our differences, tidying up our own spaces and cultivating a sense of shared13 for living environment. Our relationship also taught us the importance of14 and forgiveness.
