Australia a great place to be
When people think of Australia, they often picture beautiful beaches, lovely weather, and lots of dangerous animals such as salt water
crocodiles and taipan snakes! Its true that we have these things, but Australia is more interesting than you might think.
Australia is in the South Pacific and its the worlds biggest island. We dont have any borders with other countries and our closest
neighbors are Papua New Guinea and East Timor. Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. Its thirty times bigger than the
United Kingdom, but nearly three times more people live in the UK. In the center of the country there is a lot of desert. Most
Australians live near the coast, where the countrys biggest cities are.
There are plenty of exciting cities to visit here, including Canberra, our capital, and Sydney, which is famous for its Opera House and
amazing harbour. However, it is Melbourne which is near the top of the list of the most exciting cities of the world. It has wonderful
beaches, a great nightlife, fantastic shopping, and lots of arts festivals and exhibitions.
Australia is a fascinating place to visit. Were very proud of our country and we usually welcome tourists. Our way of life isnt very
formal, but we often take presents when we visit people. If someone invites you to dinner, its a good idea to take along flowers or wine
for your host.
The good weather means we can do lots of outdoor activities. Summer lasts from December to February, and winter from June to
August. However, Australia is enormous and the weather isnt the same everywhere. The north has two types of weather very wet and
very dry! The center stays dry all year round. But in the south, the weather changes from season to season. Summer in the south is hot,
but winter can be cold, wet, and windy you can even go skiing in the mountains! Come and visit.
Example: Australia is in the South Pacific. A true( ) B false ( ) C doesnt say ( )
E. WRITING
