Tony's dad: Hi, Tony. What are you up to?

Tony:

Tony: I'm looking for the photos that you took in Australia. Great! Thanks. We're doing a project about countries that we want to visit, and

I'm going to write about Australia. I have to imagine that I've been there, and that

I'm writing a letter to Mum and you.

Let's see. Hey! What's that?

And this building? Tony's dad: OK, would you like a hand to find them? Tony's dad: Well, have a look at these. Tony: Tony: Tony's dad: It's called Uluru. It's a huge rock in the centre of Australia. It's fantastic.

Tony's dad: That's the Sydney Opera House. It's like a huge sailing boat with water on three

sides. And this one is a photo of a shark that I saw on the Great Barrier Reef.

Tony: Wow! It's amazing! Did you see any kangaroos or crocodiles?

Tony's dad: There were kangaroos that were jumping alongside the car on our way back from

Uluru. But no crocodiles.

Tony:

Tony: They're great photos. By the way, can I borrow the camera again? Well, there's a photo competition that I want to win! I want to take some photos at

our school dance next week. Tony's dad: Why?

Tony's dad: I bet you do! OK, you can borrow it, but only once you've done your project on

Australia.

Module 7 Unit 2

Dear Mum and Dad,

I'm writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the Aboriginal name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a helicopter tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient Aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture.

The Australians have many British relatives and they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but the games that they love the most are football, cricket and rugby. Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.

Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.

Most Australians speak English, although they have some special expressions such as "Good

day!" and "No worries, mate." They mean "Hello!" and "Don't worry about it. It's not a problem!"

The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper, and I got very tired. Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down ...

Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It's been a fantastic trip!

Love,

Tony

Betty: Well, everyone wants to come to the school dance. The trouble is, I want to get some good photos, but I can't see over people's heads. Are you going to enter the photo competition? You bet! By the way, is that He Zhong at the front? What's he doing here? Same as you! Who's He Zhong? He's the photographer who won the photo competition last time! The one who won the photo competition last summer? That's right. Those drums are really loud! Maybe I'll go upstairs. OK, but look after your camera! (Later ...) Hi, Tony. How did you get on? Fine. I got some great shots of the boy who plays the guitar on the left. Where is He Zhong? He left early. There was something wrong with his camera. Great! Now I'm in with a chance to win! It's here, in my bag. Oh no, it's gone! You're kidding! But I had it a minute ago. Perhaps I left it upstairs ... He's quite unhappy. Lingling: Shh! It's the Blues Boys playing! It's the band which gets everyone dancing. Lingling: But, Tony ... where's your camera?

Lingling: His father is the person who will be most unhappy.

Tony's dad: Hi, everyone!

Betty: Oh! Mr Smith! Help! I mean ... hello! Tony? Er, we didn't expect to see you! Tony's dad: I've just come to pick Tony up. Did he try out my camera?

Results of Student Photo Competition

We were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can't give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.

The person who won the prize for the Most Beautiful Nature photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of the mountains in Xiangshan Park. The park isn't far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.

The photo which we liked best in the Historic China group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tian'anmen Square, the largest public square in the world. It's 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.

The best photo in the Music category was taken by He Zhong. His photo of this year's best band Crazy Feet shows the singer, Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great ne …… 此处隐藏：5728字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
