The Outback is a large desert (沙漠) area of Australia. Very few people live there and temperatures can be very high-about 50℃ in summer! Read the advice before you go there.
Do’sTake enough water. There are few places for you to find water in the Outback. You can live for many days without food but not without water! Use sunblock (防晒霜). The sun is one of the biggest dangers there. You should only hike in the morning and in the evening because it’s very hot between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. You should take a map. You should also tell friend or your family where you are going and when you are planning to get there.
Don’tsDon’t depend on your phone. Some of the areas in the Outback are very far and there is no signal (信号). Don’t worry too much about snakes. There are many different kinds of snakes but they don’t always hurt people. Don’t leave your car if it stops working. Your car can help a plan find you.

Dear Dave,
I had a happy Spring Festival this year. Spring Festival is the Chinese New Year’s Day.
Before Spring Festival we are often very busy. We clean our houses. On the Eve of the festival the whole family get together for a big dinner. People stay up and eat New Year cakes or dumplings at midnight for good luck. On the first day of Spring Festival, the children greet their parents and get lucky money as new year gifts. Everyone is happy in China on the Spring Festival.
Best wishes to you!
Yours,
Liu Qiang
