Dear mum and dad,
I'm writing this letter to you from the center of Australia. At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.
The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.
Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.
The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down…
Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!
Tony
a. Going on a camel ride b. Flying to Sydney
c. Taking a helicopter tour d. walking around Uluru
Come to Austria Soll is a village in the mountains in Western Austria, and a local family opens Hotel Post there. The hotel is clean and cheap. In the hotel you can see the whole village, the forest and the mountains. Temperatures are usually around 20℃ to 25℃ in the daytime, but much lower in the evening. Enjoy Thailand When you visit Bangkok in Thailand, you can take a river boat to the Floating Market(水上市场) in the early morning. There you can buy many fresh fruits and vegetables. There you will find something fun when you sit in your boat. Don't forget your hat. The sun can be strong. The temperature may be as high as 40℃ at midday! Visit Hawaii· Maybe the most beautiful place in Hawaii is Kauai. You can visit the long beaches in the south and west of the island, and mountains and forests in the north,) but be careful. There are many mosquitoes(蚊子). And don't be surprised if it rains in the center of the island. Daytime temperatures are usually around 24℃ to 26℃ by the sea, and only a little lower in the late evening. |
