Australia is the greatest island in the world. It is to the south of the equator. So when it is summer in our country, it is cold winter in Australia.

Australia is big, but the population there is thin. The population is the same as that of Shanghai, a city of China. Australia is a young, diverse nation and the Australian people come from many different countries.

Australia has many, many sheep. After a short drive from town, you will see sheep around you. You can also find a kangaroo which has a “bag” below its chest. The mother kangaroo keeps its babies in the “bag”.

Australia is considered to be a relaxed, informal society. When greeting others, students and young people usually say “Hello” or “Hi”. Sometimes they say “How’s it going?” or “G day”. In more formal (正式的) situations they usually shake hands the first time they meet. “Good morning”, “Good afternoon” or “Pleased to meet you” are formal greetings. English is Australia’s national language.

In June last year, I had an opportunity to do volunteer work in a small village which is located in northern Australia, far from the cities. Living there is an experience that cannot be fully defined in just words. Although the people of this small village are short of the much material wealth that most of us in big cities have, their positive(积极的) outlook on life is comparable to what we have.

The small village suffered a natural disaster(灾难)about two years ago. Many people lost their material belongings and their houses. Soon after the disaster, families had to live under one roof in houses that were suitable for just- one family. Instead of feeling bottled in, the people felt more of sense of belonging when families had to live together in such conditions. They banded together to help each other in rebuilding their houses.

It was still beyond my understanding how family took priority (优先) over anything else. If someone is in need, the family will provide any support needed. In cities, it is said that “Houses are getting bigger, while homes are getting smaller”. In this small village, the home will always remain big. Children are taught from an early age that family is worth more than any material wealth that they will come across. They pass the value to their kids, and the cycle continues in keeping family values.

I still remember on the third day I arrived in the small village, two elders wanted to adopt me into their tribe(宗族). As part of that process, I was given a Spirit Totem, and was told that I officially belonged to their tribe. One of the elders explained, “No one is a stranger here. You come here, and you become part of us! Can you imagine if we had that outlook in every small village or on every street on earth?

Leaving this small village was challenging for me indeed. Not only did my outlook change, but my understanding of how life can be defined in different ways took a turn for the better
