Question

Australia, also known as "the Land Down Under" is a country, an island and a continent（大陆）.It's the world's smallest continent and the sixth largest country.

But only about 24 million people live there. The first people there were the Aborigines. In the late 18th century. the British arrived. Today the British influence on Australia is still very strong. For example, the national language is English and drivers drive on the left side of the road.

Australia was cut off from the other continents a long time ago, so a lot of Australia's animals, like the koala and the kangaroo aren't found anywhere else in the world. Australia also has some of the most dangerous animals in the world. There are poisonous（有毒的）snakes and spiders. In the north, there are huge saltwater crocodiles, and in the sea, around the coast, there are sharks and poisonous jellyfish.

The largest city in Australia is Sydney with its famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The 2000 Summer Olympics were held in Sydney. But Sydney isn't the capital of Australia. The capital is Canberra.

Australia is a huge country, but most Australians live in the south-east corner between Sydney and Melbourne. This is because most of the land is very dry. Australians call this dry area the outback(内陆地区). There are some huge farms there with millions of sheep，The children who live on these farms can’t go to school, because the nearest town is too far away. They study at home with the School of the Air. They used to talk to their teachers by the radio and, nowadays, on the Internet. There is also a "lying doctor" service.
