21、Australia is the greatest island in the world. It is to the south of the equator. So when it is summer in our country, it is cold winter in Australia.

Australia is big, but the population  there is thin. The population is the same as that of Shanghai, a city of China. Australia is a young, diverse nation and the Australian people come from many different countries.

Australia has many, many sheep. After a short drive from town, you will see sheep around you. You can also find a kangaroo which has a “bag” below its chest. The mother kangaroo keeps its babies in the “bag”.

Australia is considered to be a relaxed, informal society. When greeting others, students and young people usually say “Hello” or “Hi”. Sometimes they say “How’s it going?” or “G day”. In more formal (正式的) situations they usually shake hands the first time they meet. “Good morning”, “Good afternoon” or “Pleased to meet you” are formal greetings.

22、The children grow vegetables and take care of animals, but they are not playing “Farmville(开心农场)” online. Students at Gateway International School have started farming a small piece of land in the school. The students in the school are from different countries, such as Malaysia and the Philippines.

“To make the children self－reliant and develop friendship between children from different countries, we asked them to grow vegetables. They were excited about the idea，” said Grace Alwyn, the head teacher of the school. “They give part of the harvest to us and we cook it for them. We are planning to ask the parents to buy the vegetables planted by the children. This will also teach them the importance of money.”

The students are also encouraged to keep pets. They feed the animals in the morning and check on them through the day. It's a good way for them to learn to be responsible.

Pritesh, a student in Grade 8, said, “I understand how farmers work. As we grow the vegetables ourselves, we don't feel like wasting them. It is a very interesting hobby.”

24、We talk every day. When we have good news, we like to share it with our good friends and when something terrible happens, we will let others know soon. But do you know that a tree can talk and share news？It sounds strange, but it’s true that some trees can also communicate with each other. Of course, no tree moves lips and says words just as people do.

Willow trees (柳树) are the best­-known of these trees. When insects (昆虫) begin eating a willow tree, the tree gives out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willow trees that insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical (化学物质) in their leaves. This chemical is bad for the insects. The insects do not like it and they fly away soon. In this way, the willow trees keep themselves away from the insects.

Next time when you take a walk near the trees, maybe the trees are “talking” to each other quietly. And when someone says that trees cannot “talk”, please tell them that even trees can “talk” to each other, too.
