Thinking about study abroad

The assignment:

Pick a place to go for study abroad. You'll be gone at least a month. Tell us about it.

Tell us 
  • where you want to go,
  • why you want to go there,
  • what you want to do,
  • how you will prepare.

I asked you to write some sentences about your dreams of studying abroad.

After everyone had written a few sentences, I asked you to talk with each other about studying abroad, using these questions:
  • Where do you want to go?
  • Why do you want to go there?
  • -- Why do you want to go to [Australia]?
  • What do you want to do there?
  • How will you prepare?
  • -- How will you prepare to go [to Australia]?
  • -- What will you do to prepare [to go there]?

=============================================
I want to go to Ireland.
It is part of the UK.
I have been there once to study English.
I stayed for three weeks.
The Irish people were very kind to us.
---------------------------------------

=============================================
I want to go to the UK.
I want to see Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace in London.
I like Sherlock Holmes, so I would also like to go to Baker Street.
I have to study English more, to get ready.
---------------------------------------

=============================================
I want to go to Austria.
The capital of Austria is Vienna.
Many people call Vienna the music capital of the world.
I like playing the piano very much, so I want to go to there to study about music.
---------------------------------------

=============================================
I want to go to Europe.
I want to go there to study history.
European countries have a lot of history.
I want to visit many world heritage sites.
---------------------------------------

=========
I want to go to Australia because Australia has a lot of nature to see and experience, and I like nature.
I want to swim and barbeque at the beach and talk with local people in English.
So I will prepare by practicing speaking English.
---------------------------------------

=============================================
I want to go to France.
Last year I want to France on a school trip.
I saw many things and had a lot of fun.
But I didn't understand any French, and I couldn't communicate with the French.
So I will study basic French, and then I can speak with many French people.
That's why I want to go there again.
---------------------------------------

=============================================
I want to go to Australia because I can communicate in English with the people there.
I want to see Koalas and go to the beach.
I will look for good places to visit before I go.
---------------------------------------

=============================================
I want to go to Tasmania.
It is a part of Australia.
I saw a movie called Heart Beat Once More.
In the movie, the heroine went to Tasmania on a trip.
She had to have an operation because she had some problems with her heart.
She had only a thirty percent chance of living.
Tasmania is called the heart of the world.
So she wanted to go there and start her life again.
I was moved by the movie.
So I want to visit the Church there and go shopping.
---------------------------------------
[And I want to know, which Church is it? Is it one the heroine visited?]
