Studying abroad is an amazing experience,especially when you come to Australia as an overseas (外国的)
high school student. You can have a lot of fun here, especially on holidays.
There are many festivals in Australia.The most important one is obviously 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 overseas students love to fly back to their
home countries to 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. Student 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
schoolto study and do his or her normal duties. |

Canada is one of the few 1 in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are
10 provinces (省) in the country but only one of these —Quebec( 魁北克 ) is known as "French Canada". This
is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered and governed the rest.
Canada left the British empire in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official language ever since. |

Shanghaihua (上海话)：use it or lose it
There are about 6.000 languages in the world and some experts say that as many as half of these languages will disappear in the next one hundred years. Will Shanghaihua be one of t 1 ? It"s a question that more
people are asking.
In China, Putonghua is the official language. That m 2 it"s the language of government, business and
the media (媒体). And it"s also the language that is used in schools.
Shanghai is a special city. It is modern, fashionable and sophisticated (老练的). And Shanghaihua shows
that by being modern, fashionable and sophisticated. "I love riding on the b 3 and listening to people speaking
Shanghaihua." Miss Evans, an American reporter said. " I don"t understand a word they are saying but I like the
sound of the language. It sounds smoother than Putonghua. And Shanghainese like things "renao" (热闹)so even
a discussion about the weather can sound like an argument or a party. My bus rides are a 4 interesting."
Young people still speak Shanghaihua but not as well as their parents and grandparents. They are under
more and more pressure (压力) to speak Putonghua. So the language is being used l 5 often in everyday life.
Some people want to keep the language from disappearing completely by building museums and having cultural
festivals to save it. But a language isn"t a painting or a book. It"s a living thing and you e 6 use it or lose it.
If people stop using it in their d 7 lives, a museum or a festival will not help. It will be lost forever, like
the Yangtze River dolphin. |

Australia is an island and it is a continent. It is the largest island in the world but it is the smallest continent.
It is almost 7.7million sq. km. Compared with China, China is about 2 million sq. km. larger.
Australia is in the south of the world. It lies between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The Indian
Ocean is to the west and the south. The Pacific Ocean is to the east.
Most of the western half of Australia is highland. But it is not very high, and the land is rather flat (平坦).
High flat land is not called mountains. It is called Plateau. The west of Australia is called the Western-Australian
Plateau. It is about 300 m high.
There is high land in the east of Australia, too. Some of it is plateau and some of it is mountains. The
highest mountain is in the southeast. It is called MT Kosciusko. It is 2228 m high. This high land in the east is
sometimes called the Great Dividing Range. It has this name because it divides the east coast from the rest of
the country. Between the Great Dividing Range and the western Australian Plateau the land is low. This part of
the country is called the Central Lowlands.
The only big river in Australia is the River Murray. It begins in the mountains in the southeast of the
country and it runs westward into the Indian Ocean. |

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word? If you can, you are unusual.
Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time
eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more
time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously (好奇). You began to know that
people made certain sounds to go with certain things.
Then you began to try making the sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right
sound for one thing.
On that day you came to understand the secret of language. The secret is that a certain sound means a
certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees
on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, can they understand each
other. Then, and only then do these people have a LANGUAGE.
After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as
BOOKS, CHAIRS and SHOES. Some words meant doing things, such as GO and SWIM, and other words
describe things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express your idea,
such as "I want to go out and play with my friends." This is language. By means of language people can
communicate (交流). So we say languages are means of communication. |
