We're here to learn about the life and customs of the Aborigines,who are native to Australia. The Aboriginal population might be small, but its influence is still visible. For example, “Bondi” in “Bondi Beach” is an Aboriginal word meaning “water breaking over rocks”.

This shows in their music, too, which celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around them. Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground, among which there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo. Para 5 The didgeridoo is made from a tree branch which is hollow. To play the didgeridoo, you put your mouth on one end and blow while vibrating your lips. Unlike a horn, there are no finger holes. The didgeridoo player has to change the shape of his mouth in order to change pitch. A skilled player can play for along time without stopping to breathe. He does this by continually breathing in through his nose while breathing out through his mouth and into the didgeridoo. I tried to learn how to play it, but after trying for hours, I was convinced that Icould never make a musical sound with this instrument!

I've enjoyed my time here very much. After being here for a while, my biggest impression is the complicated mix of peoples and cultures that make up the nation. Although the main cultural influence since 1788 has been Western culture, minority cultures have also played a part in shaping the unique Australian culture, with many of the new cultural influences contributed by immigrants. It is said that now nearly half of all Australian citizens were either born overseas or have parents who were born overseas.

They have a straightforward and free-and-easy attitude towards life, and their friendliness and warmth made me feel at home wherever I went. After experiencing Australia, I have to say that I agree with the tourism slogan:“There's nothing like Australia. ” Para 8&9 1 iconic attractions 2 think of 3 over the school holidays 4 do some research on 5 can’t wait to do sth 6 major in 7 experience their culture Language points: Important phrases (P13 ~ P15) 标志性风物 想起；想出 趁学校放假 做一些关于...研究 迫不及待做某事 主修 体验他们的文化 30 8 typical Australian food 9 on the other hand 10 premier food experiences 11 be native to 12 visible influence 13 be in close contact with nature 14 the spiritual world 澳大利亚的特色美食 另一方面 顶级的美食体验 精神世界 源于……的；原产于 显而易见的影响 与大自然保持密切联系 Language points: Important phrases (P13 ~ P15) 15 be made from 16 a skilled player 17 without stopping to breathe 18 breathe in through one’s nose 19 make up the nation 20 minority cultures 由……制成 娴熟的演奏者 不用停下来换气 用鼻子吸气 构成这个国家 少数族裔文化 Language points: Important phrases (P13 ~ P15) $$
