The stream "Goodbye world!" is added to the text file written in the first command. The ";" implies the execution of the given commands in order, not simultaneously. So, the final content of the text file is:

the append redirect is the usage of ">>" for adding a stream to something, like in the following series of shell commands:

Note that when opening and closing file handles, one should always check the return value.

When opening a file, use the ">>" mode to append rather than over write.
