Last year I went to Australia to study and travel. I stayed in Sydney for two months. I visited places of   1   in the morning and took English lessons in the afternoon. A friend and I stayed with a family from Sydney. The homestay(寄宿家庭) parents and brothers were very    2   to us. We talked about a lot of things with each other in English.

My spoken English improved    3    in Australia. I used to speak very little English in China. But in Australia, I had to use it very often. I was soon able to    4    my teachers and homestay family freely.

To me, the best place in Australia is the Sydney Opera House. You can look at it from different sides. I think it is one of the most wonderful buildings in the world. I cannot sing very well,  5    when I was inside, I really wanted to sing.

Time    6    fast when I was in Sydney. Soon came Christmas, then the New Year. I had never spent the New Year    7    my family. But this year, I was so far away from them. I felt      8    sad. I missed them so much, and l knew they missed me so much    9    . In the evening, I phoned my family. When I heard their    10   , I began to cry. My homestay mother held me in her arms and comforted me. What a kind foreign mother I had!

Linda and Betty were both twenty years old. They studied in the same medical college. In June, after a school year was over, they decided to take a vacation in the country. They went to several towns and villages, and visited some places of interest, saw and heard a lot of interesting things. They enjoyed themselves very much.
One afternoon, they were going to stay overnight in a small town. It was too hot to go further and they wished they could find a river and swim in the cool water. They were driving the car slowly while they were looking around. Suddenly Linda saw a lake not far away. They drove there fast and stopped the car by the lake. They looked around and found a man was sitting on a stone and fishing there. When they took their clothes and were going to jump into the water, the man came up to them and shouted," Sorry, Madams' swimming is not allowed (允许)in the lake!"
"Why didn't you tell us about it before we took off our clothes?" Betty said angrily. "But it isn’t forbidden to take off clothes by the lake," said the man.
