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

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school．Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom．they say they can afford these things．But I don't agree with them．
Waste can bring a lot of problems．Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏)others, for example, fresh water(淡水)．It is reported that we will have no coal(煤)or oil to use in 100 years．So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move?Think about it．I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day．Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible．
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头)when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on．Little by little, everything will be changed．Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best．

Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen was one of the world's greatest storytellers．He was born on April 2, 1805, in Denmark(丹麦)．Andersen's father was a poor shoemaker．After his father passed away, he traveled to Copenhagen to try out for the theater．He hoped to become an actor, but his real talent was for writing and he first became known for his poetry．He also wrote plays, novels, and travel books, but while many of these are now almost unknown outside Denmark, his fairy tales are famous around the world．
His first collection of fairy tales, Tales Told for Children was published in 1835 and included such favorites as The Tinderbox and The Princess and the Pea．His most famous fairy tales, however, are probably The Ugly Duckling, The Snow White, and The Little Mermaid．There probably isn't a child in the world who hasn't read at least one of these, or had it read to them．
Shortly before his death, in August 1875, he was asked what music he would like played at his funeral．“It should be in time with little steps,”he said,“because most of the people at my funeral will be children．”
There is a statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen Harbor．It was put there because the Danish are very proud of their most famous writer．
