Now guess what Tony is going to say in his letter.
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 local 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.
Read the letter and find out what the pictures show.

The Australians have a close relationship with the British. Many have British relatives, and they are like us in many ways. The food 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 going to the beach for swimming and surfing or just lying in the sun.
Although it is December, it is summer over here. The sun 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 middle of the country has no trees or grass, just rocks and sand… And kangaroos!
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!”
On the second day, we went horse riding. The horse that I rode was lazy, so I was left far behind the others, but I enjoyed the slow and relaxing riding.
Later this evening, we are taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It has been a wonderful trip.
Love,
Tony

Write a letter about a visit to a place in China.
Dear Mum and Dad,
I am writing this letter to you from the mountains of Yunnan! It’s a
very beautiful and exciting place.
There are many different types of people living here. They all have different ways of dressing, cooking and living. Today I saw some Yi people. They wear colourful clothing and they also drink a lot of tea. Some Yi people are different to others — it depends on whether they live in the mountains or in the lowlands. People that live in the mountains grow different foods.
Sample 1
Yesterday the bus broke down halfway in the country and we all had to
wait quite a long time before it was fixed.
I wasn’t bored though. I looked at the interesting countryside and made
friends with some of the other travellers.
Coming home tomorrow — see you both soon!
Love,
Lily
