It has been three months since I came to Sydney, Australia. I fell in love with this sunny city in the southern Hemisphere (半球) when I first visited last March. So I quit my job in Taiwan and started a working holiday here.

My days in Sydney are busy. Every morning I wake up at 6. After a quick breakfast, I catch a train to North Sydney, where I start my work for the day—house cleaning.

Some of you may wonder why a college graduate like me would do such heavy physical labor(劳动). But in Australia people don’t think like this. As long as you work hard, you get the respect you deserve.

I usually clean houses until 4 pm. Most of the customers are nice people who greet me, smile at me and thank me for my work. For every hour I earn 17 Australian dollars, which is just over the minimum wage（最低工资） line. But I’m quite happy with that. It covers my living costs, and I can even save some money for my parents and my future education.

A working holiday is a good choice for young people. You get the amazing experience of living in a different country while also earning money.

Once a week after a hard day, I’d go to a nearby bar to have some drinks with my friends and enjoy the beautiful night view of the Sydney harbor. It’s a great way to relax.

Being in a foreign country alone, I sometimes feel homesick. I miss the delicious minced pork rice(卤肉饭) from my hometown in Tainan. I miss my family too. But most of the time, I enjoy my stay here in Sydney. With the fresh air, the sea, and the mountains, I feel peaceful and rewarded.

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for a1. — those who have climbed the highest mountains, travelled into u2. parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an i3. excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would c4. bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres a5. the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour u6. the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about two million people around the world have now t7. bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and d8. into the sea from the top of high cliff.

Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not be cured, and life was a continuous b9. for survival.

Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little e10.. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
