Module 10 Australia

Unit 1 I have some photos that I took in Australia last year

Tony: Dad, I need your help. My teacher asked us to choose a country we want to visit, imagine we were there, and write a letter to our parents back home. I’ve chosen Australia. How can I do it?

Dad: Don’t worry. I have some photos that I took in Australia last year. They may help you. Here we go. This is a rock called Ayers Rock, in central Australia. According to the local people, it’s a special and magical place.

Tony: Oh, it looks huge. What’s its height?

Dad: 348 meters. And this is the Sydney Opera House. It’s like a huge sailing boat with water on three sides. And this one is the Great Barrier Reef.

Tony: Does it lie off the northeast coast of Australia?

Dad: Yes, it’s over 2,600 kilometres long. It’s a great natural wonder. And here are some photos of my Australian friends. They’re sheep farmers. They wear special hats that keep the flies away. The scissors that they’re holding are used to cut the wool off the sheep. Do you know that many Australians came from Britain?

Tony: Yes, of course! That’s why they speak English. Did you keep a diary while you were there?

Dad:  Yes, and you can read it.

Tony: That’s great! And what didn’t you like about Australia?

Dad: I hated the ants that were all over the place. I had to brush them off my clothes, especially my trousers!

Tony: Ants in your trousers! That’s really funny!

Dad: It wasn’t funny at the time!

at the time! 当时

托尼：爸爸，我需要你的帮助。老师让我们选择一个我们想去的国家，想像我们就在那里，然后给家里的父母写一封信。我选择了澳大利亚，我该如何写呢？

爸爸：别担心！我有一些去年在澳大利亚拍的照片，也许可以帮到你。我们来看一看吧。这块岩石叫做艾尔斯岩，位于澳大利亚中部。据当地人说，这是一个奇特而具有魔力的地方。

托尼：哦，看起来很大啊！它有多高？

爸爸：348米。这是悉尼歌剧院。它就像一艘巨大的帆船，三面环水。这一张是大堡礁。

托尼：它是位于澳大利亚东北海岸吗？

爸爸：是的，它有2600多公里长。它是一个伟大的自然奇观。这里还有一些我的澳大利亚朋友的照片。他们是牧羊的农民。他们戴着能赶走苍蝇的特制的帽子。他们拿着的剪刀是用来剪羊毛的。你知道许多澳大利亚人来自英国吗？

托尼：是的，当然了。那就是他们为什么说英语的原因。您在那儿的时候记日记了吗？

爸爸：记了，你可以读读。

托尼：太棒了！你不喜欢澳大利亚的哪些方面呢？

爸爸：我讨厌到处都有蚂蚁。我得把它们从我衣服上掸掉，特别是裤子上。

托尼：在您的裤子上有蚂蚁！太有趣了！

爸爸：当时可并不有趣！
