     Macao is only forty miles away from Hong Kong and it is easy to reach. It is an interesting place and it
has a long history.  Macao is a part of China, and it was returned to China in 1999, and most people
living there are Chinese.
     The first Europeans to reach Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago, the
Portuguese went there to do business with Chinese. Some settled and made their homes there. They built
strong forts to guard their city on the island. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places.
Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.
     Today, many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor racing or to
gamble. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at the old
buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in
ruins. The church of St. Paul has only the front wall with steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to
see.
     When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. When you are hungry, there are
good restaurants with many kinds of food.  Nearby are islands, which are also nice to visit and are easy
to get to. There is certainly much to see and to do in Macao.

     In the U. S.  people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don"t know.  If you"re sitting at

may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill (续杯).

an especially big noon meal.

     Have you ever studied abroad? Maybe it is an amazing experience, especially when you come to
Australia as an foreign high school student. You can have a lot of fun there, especially on holidays.
     There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is Christmas. Each year, the summer
holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning. of December to February, which
covers the Christmas time.  Since it is a long holiday, most foreign students in Australia love to fly back to
their home countries spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia
during the holiday to get part-time .jobs.  It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students
often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The
summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular
among Australians.
     Easter in March is another important holiday in the year.  It actually combines "Good Friday" and
"Easter Monday". Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.
     The Chinese New Year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to
school to study and do his or her normal duties.
