Hello! My name is Maggie. I'm ten years old. I come from Australia. Australia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is small. The population of it is nearly as large as that of Shanghai. I live in Sydney, Australia. I love this city. It's clean and beautiful. There are four seasons in Sydney. I like summer best because I can go swimming and surfing on the beach. Christmas is also in summer. You know? It's strange. We have a holiday for Christmas．On Christmas Day, my father drives us to the beach. I like to surf in the sea. My sister likes to make sandcastles and my brother likes to play balls with our dog．My parents like to hide the presents in the sand. We have to find our presents. It's really fun.
