They are really lovely.

During the past three clays we've visited many p  6   of interest around Sydney. I'd like to spend more time here, but we will f  7   to another city, Cairns, to see coral beds (珊瑚礁) tomorrow.

Now we are b 9     packing our bags so that we will not lose time when we leave. We can enjoy o  10   in Cairns this time tomorrow. I’m looking forward to going there!

The crow is an ordinary bird. It is about twenty inches long and black all over. Crows are dirty because they live o    old bad food. Crows eat a lot of w    food. In this way they are more u      to us than any birds. They c     up the dirty things in our streets. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day long, and in the evening you can see them in large numbers f      back to their nests in the trees. They sleep there at night.

    Crows are much n      than other birds. Very often a large number of crows will get together on the house and talk.   Sometimes they talk together,   and do it by t     like human beings. It is easy to tell f     crow’s sounds whether they are friendly birds. A pair of crows will live together all their l     , and if one of them dies, the other becomes very sad and q      for the rest of its life and sometimes it dies, too.
