【盐仓24秋】外研版(2024)英语八年级上册B本Module 10 The weather Unit 1 第二课时
The weather in Australia changes a lot. Why? Because Australia is such a large country. The northern parts of Australia are warm to hot all year round because it is closer to the equator (赤道). In the north, summer is also the rainy season.
The areas along the coast around Sydney are warm in winter with the lowest temperatures about 50°F to 60°F. However, if you think all parts of the country are warm all year round, you'll be wrong. When we say it's cold, we don't mean it's like the winter in Harbin. In some places in Tasmania and Victoria, you can see snow and temperatures there are below freezing. There are ski resorts (滑雪度假区) in the mountains of Australia.
In Australia, you can enjoy everything from sunbathing on the beach to knocking snow off your boots after a day of skiing. If you want to go there for a visit, all you should think about is the weather there.
A. Summer there is warmer and the temperature is about 80°F. B. Australia is really a good place to visit. C. The weather in different parts is different in the country. D. There are lots of delicious food in Australia. E. In fact, many people do not know one thing. F. Some parts of Australia are very cold during the winter. |
