Australia is a famous Oceanian country. The country is famous1 its wool production and seashore tours. As the climate there is warm and comfortable, many people2vacations there every year. I'm a super fan of water entertainment, 3I choose it as my destination(目的地).

In Australia, the sky is bluer than blue, the4are whiter than white, and all the local people enjoy an optimistic(乐观的)and active life. They also5 their kindness and enthusiasm to the tourists. The first 6should be the Sydney Opera House, which is among the most brilliant and splendid architectures in the world. Many world-class plays are 7 in it. The surface and shape of it looks like a seashell 8 glorious decorations inside.

Then Melbourne is a good 9to be the next stop. In Melbourne, skin cream is a must to take with you as the sunshine is strong and may 10 your skin. The most attractive thing to me is the Australia Open, which is one of the biggest world-class tennis competitions. Many great 11 such as Roddick, Federer and its local player Hewitt, etc. gather to compete. It's really a feast for the12.

Australia is also home to one of the most challenging and exciting surfing and diving projects. As we know, it is always called "a country 13 on the back of sheep". From the 14 saying, we can know something about the rich wool-production country. If you love animals, kangaroos and koalas are a good choice for you. So don't 15Australia if you plan a trip.

Dear Mr Porter,

My name is Lin Si. I'm a sixteen-year-old boy from China. I'm going to study in Melbourne High School. Here I'd like to for a host family there.

To begin with, let me introduce in brief. I like English is my favourite subject, but I'm weak in spoken English. That's I want to find a host family who are native English speakers. In this way, I will have more chances to in daily life. I hope it's a family without Moreover, it's better if the family lives within a 20-minute walk from my school and provides a bedroom with As for the meals, I'd like to cook food by myself I'm fond of cooking.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Best wishes!

Lin Si

Each year, millions of people visit Machu Picchu. It is an ancient city stands 1.5 miles above sea level, on the east of the Andes mountains. Steep (陡峭的)steps make the trip a challenge. It used to be almost impossible for disabled(残疾的) person.

Wheel the World (change) that. Thanks to the travel company, the disabled people can get to Machu Picchu by a wheelchair (轮椅) (final). The two best friends Camilo Navarro and Alvaro Silberstein set up the company. Once, they wanted to go on a trip together, but it was hard Alvaro. Alvaro has been using a wheelchair he had a car accident at the age of 18. "There are many people in the world with disabilities," Camilo said. "But there is not one main travel company that helps (they). So we started Wheel the World. Our dream is to help disabled people travel to all (kind) of places around the world."

Wheel the World uses a special wheelchair for the trip. It can be pushed like a wheelbarrow (独轮手推车). It also folds up (折叠)and can be put into a car easily. "It is a quite light wheelchair, it's very strong." It allows you  (get) wherever you want, "Camilo said.

Many years ago, people used the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, the compass(指南针)was introduced. And now, we have satellite navigation systems to guide us.

Independently built and developed by China, BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) is one of the world's four global navigation networks. It's named after the Chinese word for the Big Dipper(北斗七星).

Plans for China's own system took shape in 1994 and BDS-1 was in service by 2000. Completed in 2003, BDS-1 made China the third country after the U. S. and Russia to have a satellite navigation system, BDS-2 was completed in 2012 and offered services to the Asia Pacific region. And BDS-3, completed in 2020, will offer services to the world.

As the first and only system in the world that integrates (合并) communications and navigation, the BeiDou system is widely used in many public and private fields. It has a great influence on China's social and economic (经济的) development, as well as people' s daily lives. For example, buses in some cities are provided with electric bus information board controlled by BDS. It shows passengers where the bus is at the moment and how long they need to wait. Outside of China, the BeiDou system is also drawing fans. More than 120 countries and regions in the world are using it now.

BDS belongs to the whole world and all human beings. Without doubt, it will lead people to a better life.
