Australia is the greatest island in the world. 1.澳大利亚比中国小一点.

Australia is big, but there are fewer people there. The population(人口) of Australia is smaller than that of Shanghai, a city of China.

2.Australia is in the south of the earth. So when it is hot summer in our country, Australia will be cold winter. The seasons in Australia and in China are just opposite(相反的). Summer in Australia is from December to February, and winter is from July to August. 3.When it’s spring in China, it will be autumn in Australia.

4.澳大利亚因绵羊和袋鼠而著名. They are both popular in Australia.

5.You can see kangaroos(袋鼠) not only in zoos but also outside the cities and towns. There are ten sheep for everyone in the country. So people call Australia “The country on the backs of sheep”. After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep are everywhere.

Have you seen a kangaroo? It has a “bag” on its body. The mother kangaroo keeps its baby kangaroos in the “bag”. It’s very strange, isn’t it?

Most of my sweet memories are from my childhood. There are always so many interesting things in the far away village where I grew up. One thing that leaves a deep impression on me is shearing the sheep.
In my village, sheep are washed and sheared (剪毛) sometime in the month of June. This should be done quite early in the month, before the hot days begin.
It's best for the sheep to have the wool taken off, or they will be too hot in the summer time.
When the time comes for washing the sheep, they are driven to a pond or a little river.
Then they are thrown into the water, one at a time. The men who are in the water catch them, and wash them to get the dirt all out of the wool.
When the wool is dry, the sheep are taken to the shearer; and he cuts off the wool with a large pair of shears.
In a short time, before the cold winter comes, new wool grows out on the sheep. By the coming of spring, there is so much that it must be cut off soon.

【小题1】When are sheep sheared usually?
