Jerry:
So
Dan,
how
do
you
like
living
in
Australia?
Dan:
It's
good.
We
live
in
a
big
house
with
a
big
garden
and
there
are
very
few
high-rise
buildings
in
my
neighbourhood.
There
aren't
too
many
people,
and
the
environment
is
really
nice.
The
streets
are
clean
and
the
sky
is
always
blue.
Jerry:
_____24_____
Dan:
Well,
the
city
I'm
living
in
is
Sydney.
The
weather
there
is
great!
There
are
about
340
days
of
sunshine
every
year.
Unlike
China,
the
summer
there
is
between
December
and
February.
But
even
in
winter
it
doesn't
get
very
cold.
The
lowest
temperature
in
winter
is
about
16℃
and
that
feels
quite
warm
to
me!
Jerry:
What
else
is
different
about
Australia?
Dan:
There
seems
to
be
a
lot
more
animals
there,
and
many
of
them
are
dangerous!
_____25_____
Some
people
have
even
told
me
scary
stories
about
finding
the
creatures
in
their
beds!
I
think
they're
joking
with
me,
but
I
do
make
sure
to
close
all
of
my
windows
each
time
I
go
out!
Jerry:
Very
interesting.
What's
the
culture
like
in
Australia?
Dan:
_____26_____
It's
common
for
friends
to
go
to
each
other's
homes
and
watch
cricket
or
rugby
games
together.
As
the
weather
is
often
good,
most
people
love
outdoor
sport.
Jerry:
Australia
sounds
great!
_____27_____
Dan:
It
isn't
very
easy
to
travel
in
some
areas
of
the
country.
This
is
because
it's
so
big
and
some
of
the
small
towns
don't
have
any
airports.
It's
common
for
people
to
go
on
long
car
journeys
across
the
country.
Jerry:
Do
people
ask
you
about
China?
Dan:
Yes.
They're
interested
in
what
I
told
them.
Some

travel
around
China.

Dear
John,
I
was
excited
to
hear
that
you
would
come
to
China
next
month.
Now
let
me
tell
you
something
different
you
may
meet
here.
To
begin
with,
the
weather
here
is
totally
different
from
that
in
your
place.
It
hardly
ever
rains
but
whenever
it
does,
it
rains
heavily.
So
you'd
better
bring
a
raincoat
and
overcoat.
Another
big
difference
is
food.
The
Chinese
food
is
quite
different
from
yours.
You
have
to
try
to
get
used
to
it,
and
learn
how
to
use
chopsticks.
I'm
sure
you
can
do
it.
Finally
please
bring
me
a
big
American
map
if
possible.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
am
looking
forward
to
meeting
you.
Yours,
Zhang
Nan
