One year ago, I traveled 15,000 kilometers from Australia to the US. I am from a beachside town in the  16 of Sydney, and thought there would be almost no  17 differences between my home country and my 18 . I was surprised at how wrong I was, and at 19 different the two countries could be.

The United States is  20 in almost every aspect. The buildings are gigantic (巨大的) and so are the people who  21 and work in them. At mealtimes, the portions (份额) often  22 to me to be big enough for three or four people. I once  23 a baked potato which turned out to be bigger than my head! This was a big  24 for me.

The longer I spent in the US, the more I started to  25 smaller differences like the culture of  26 in restaurants. In Australia we don’t tend to give a tip  27 the service has been really excellent. In the US you tip for  28 everything, even at the hairdresser. Waiters and shop assistants  29 to be given 15 percent of the bill, although in places  30 New York or Washington DC, a tip can be as much as 20 percent.

31 , I also became more wary (谨慎的) of believing the stereotypes (成见) I had heard at home as I traveled. Not all Americans are ignorant of geography, for example.

Despite this, certain stereotypes about places did seem to  32 true for me. There is an immense (强烈的) sense of speed in New York. Everyone  33 to and fro, and very seldom takes time to  34 the moment. This is very different from the Australian lifestyle. Australians are laid back. Even in a major city like Sydney, we “Aussies” take time to “stop and smell the roses”---very different from our American counterparts.

Navigating (驾驭) the culture divide between Australia and the US was challenging at times. But I took up that  35 and learned a lot from it. It was an adventure.

Earth is the third planet from the sun.It is one of the four inner planets.The other three inner planets are Mercury,Venus,and Mars.The inner planets are also called the rocky planets,because they are made of rocks.

Earth is often called the “Water Planet”,because it is the only planet in our solar system which has liquid water on its surface.About 70% of the surface of Earth is covered by water! The other part of Earth is made up of continents and islands which have different landforms on them.Examples of landforms are mountains and plains.Plants and animals can live on Earth,because it has so much water.

Earth spins very quickly compared to other planets.It only takes Earth 24 hours to spin around its axis one time.One Earth day is 24 hours long!Earth orbits the sun in 365 days! This makes one Earth year 365 days long!

Earth is the only planet in our solar system where humans,other animals,and plants can live.There is plenty of water to drink or to live in.Water is present on Earth in its big oceans and in the air! Clouds are made of water vapor.The atmosphere has a lot of oxygen in it for animals to breathe,but the rest of our “air” is made up of water vapor,nitrogen,carbon dioxide,and other gases.The air is perfect for plants to grow.Earth temperature is not the same in all places,but the temperature is just right for plants,animals,and humans in most places on Earth.

Like the other inner planets,Earth has volcanoes.Volcanoes on Earth are different from those on other planets,because they still erupt.Scientists think that there may be active volcanoes on other planets and moons in our solar system,but they are still studying this.

Earth has one planet which we call the Moon.The surface of the Moon has many craters on it These were caused when meteorites hit it.It has many volcanoes on it which do not erupt anymore.We can see the moon at night without using a telescope.It is the closest space object to our planet,Earth.

Earth is called the Water Planet,______.
