The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times. Their ancient stories 【4】 the spirits that created the world. The Australians have a close relationship with the British. Many have British 【5】 , and they are like us in many ways. The foods 【6】Australians like most are ham and beef with lots of salad. They also grow grapes and other fruits. They love all sports, but the game that they like most is Australian football. Because most Australians live near the coast, they also love going to the beach 【7】 swimming and surfing or just lying in the sun. Although it is December, it is 【8】 over here. The sun is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, 【9】 the middle of the country has no trees or grass, just rocks and sand … And kangaroos!

On the second day, we went horse riding. The horse that I rode was lazy, so I was left far【10】the others. But I enjoyed the slow and relaxing ride. Later this evening, we are taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It has been a wonderful trip.
