Every year, schools in Australia have a "Big Day". Students put their old things on sale for charity. The1will be used to help others. And at my school, the topic of Big Day is only about 2! After lunch, different grades got a stall(摊位). 3 the students took turns running their grade's stall. Each one only had 10 minutes so that 4could have fun. Every stall had their main 5. For example, for Grade Ten's stall, we6 different drinks. The most popular one was an Oreo milk shake(奶昔)7 ice cream. For Grade Eleven's stall, the focus was the cheap lollipops(棒棒糖), which only cost $ 1 per packet.

I could only work from 1:50 pm to 2: 00 pm. But it was the8 moment of the activity. The stall was usually crowded with quite a lot of people. I arrived at our stall three9earlier.

My parents arrived even earlier. They waved at me with big smiles on faces, and said 10, "Come here! We need some help!" l was pulled to a table with a lot of paper cups. I was 11to shake each cup for 30 seconds to make it taste better.

However, when I shook the first cup for nearly 20seconds, the salesman shouted, "Hey! 12! People are waiting. "So I sped up and finally gave it to the13and he took it away with satisfaction.

After a while I was tired out and I couldn't even14my own fingers. Finally, I15my work and bought a milk shake. It tasted a little bit sweeter.

The Australian Open is one of the biggest events in tennis. There are only four Grand Slam events in the world and the two-week Australian Open is the first each year, followed by the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open.

The world's best tennis players gather to Melbourne each January to compete in the Australian Open. The action takes place at Melbourne Park, several grand stadiums and outdoor courts right next to Melbourne's city centre. To see the tennis superstars and your favourite players, you can buy mid-price tickets, or you can spend more to watch matches at Rod Laver Arena, which is considered the Championship centre court.

One of the cheapest tickets is at Ground Pass which gives you access to the outdoor courts. Between matches, you can easily enjoy the fan zones, shops, bars, live music and other attractions.

2月w The Australian Open is also performing the country's longest music festival. Many famous Australian and international bands come and play for the public. Parties take place at the popular grass riverside park Hisense Arena just outside the tennis stadiums. Once the tennis begins, the park becomes a popular place for the public to watch the action on the big screens.

The event will have a special area for the little kids. The AO Ballpark is a beautiful theme park for kids and families with a wide group of exciting activities without any pay. A 60 metres (197 feet) zip line allows children of all ages to have an exciting ride through the centre of the park and a stage with live entertainment has shows running all day.

Let me tell you something about my travel. At the moment, we're visiting Ayers Rock. During different (阶段)of the day, it changes its colour. Ayers Rock is a (中心)of Aboriginal culture. Some of their ancient stories describe the spirits that created the world.

People may be (吃惊的) to find that Australians have a close (关系) with the British. That's because many Australians have British (亲戚). Like the English, Australians like ham and beef with lots of salad. They also grow grapes and other (水果).

Australians are not (懒惰的). They like doing all kinds of (活动). They often go horse riding and (享受) the relaxing ride. They also go to the beach for swimming and (冲浪) or just lying in the sun.

Where is home? For Debbie and Michael Campbell, the answer, is everywhere—at least for now.

Known as full-time travellers, the couple have been travelling around the world since they retired (退休). They have already visited more than 80 countries, but they say they are not done yet.

"We're meeting new people all the time. That's really a good feeling," says Michael. " We're just living our lives for a week or two weeks at a time in other places."

Well, the Camp bells look for homestays that cost about $ 90 a night and less in some cities and more in others. A kitchen is a must, so that they can save money by cooking their own meals. This has been going on since July 2013.

The most important thing, they agree, is that they enjoy each other's company (陪伴), even after 40years. They enjoy reading, watching

TV, playing Scrabble (拼字游戏), doing laundry, and just hanging out. The couple say travel has become even more important since they began.

By the time you're reading this passage, the couple might have already travelled to Australia, or Japan, or China. Their journeys have helped them hold a clearer view. They hope more people can travel a bit more in their later years.

A. We're not on vacation.

B. They better understand the meaning of getting older.

C. The Camp bells have been on the road for nearly six years.

D. You must wonder if they have enough money to sleep or eat well.

E. During the journey, the Camp bells still spend much of their time together.
