Careful Reading
Dear Mum and Dad,
I am writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment, we are staying near Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. During different periods of the day, the colours of the rock turn dark blue, purple, yellow and red. Ayers Rock is a centre of Aboriginal culture. The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and their ancient stories describe the spirits that created the world.

Australian lifestyle
The Australians have a close relationship with the British. Many have British relatives, and they are like us in many ways. The foods that Australians like most are ham and beef with lots of salad. They also grow grapes and other fruits. They love all sports, but the game that they like most is Australian football. Because most Australians live near the coast, they also love to the beach for swimming and surfing or just lying in the sun.
The Australians have many British relatives(亲戚) and
they’re similar(相似的) to each other in many ways.

Australians speak English, but in their own way. For example, when they say “G’day!” and “No worries.”, they mean “Hello!” and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!”
