Dr Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university．She says："Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life-to do the washing，to do the cleaning and so on-being able to cook．Budgeting is extremely important in university life．"And Caleb adds："You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably．"

2．Two British colonies
Australia，the last continent，was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the 17^th century．These nations were less interested in changing it into a colony than exploring it．As in the early history of the United States，it was the English （33）who/that set up the settlements in America．This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some （34）other things in common．
Australia and the United States are about equal in size，and neither of their western lands are rich in soil．It was along the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled，and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west．However，this Westward Movement took place more because the English （35）were searching （search） for better land than because the population was increasing．Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold （36）was discovered （discover） in America in 1849and in Australia two years later．
Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common，there are some striking differences as well．The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without （37）going （go） to war．Australia，firstly （38）turned （turn） into a colony by English prisoners，was unlike the United States，and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising．By 1922，for example，Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people，or almost half as many sheep as there are people now in the United States．Yet，（39）in spite of these and other main differences，Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one （40）has （have） with the rest of the world．
