If you visit Australia, you might go to Sydney. But Sydney is not the only interesting place in the country. There is also the outback (内陆).
Australia is a very big country. But not many people live there. So there is lots of empty space. In Australia, people call this area the outback.
The outback is in the middle of Australia. There is a lot to see. The most famous spot is Uluru-Ayers Rock. It is a big beautiful rock. It is always sacred (神圣的) to the aboriginal (土著的) people who live in the area.
Another great place to visit in the outback is Kakadu National Park. Birds, kangaroos, wallabies (小袋鼠), lizards (蜥蜴) and snakes all live in Kakadu.

| Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high-school? Are you still growing and learning?

Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself? |
Write down the goals and think about them carefully. Are they realistic? When will you be able to achieve them?
To help make the process (过程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.
Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.
