13. Task1 Fast Reading. Read paragraph1-6, and match the titles of Paragraph1-4. I am writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment, we are staying near Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high! During different periods of the day, the colours of the rock turn dark blue, purple, yellow and red. Ayers Rock is a centre of local Aboriginal culture. The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and their ancient stories describe the spirits that created the world. Australians speak English, but in their own way. For example, when they say “G’day” and “No worries”, they mean “Hello” and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!” The Australians have a close relationship with the British. Many have British relatives, and they are like us in many ways. The foods that 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 for swimming and surfing or just lying in the sun. Although it is December, it is summer 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, but the middle of the country has no trees or grass, just rocks and sand… And kangaroos! • Language in Australia • Weather in Australia • Life of Australians • Ayers Rock and the Aborigines • Language in Australia • Weather in Australia • Life of Australians • Ayers Rock and the Aborigines • Paragraph 1 • Paragraph 2 • Paragraph 3 • Paragraph 4 • Paragraph 1 • Paragraph 2 • Paragraph 3 • Paragraph 4 Ayers Rock December summer The foods English G’day sun No worries fruits sports The Aborigines live near the coast going to the beach
