25 Sep Next week I'm travelling to Australia to visit a friend there over the school holidays①.I plan to keep this blog to record my experiences and what I learn.I have already done some research on the country.Located to the south of② the equator，below many other countries on the globe，it's often informally referred to as “down under”．[1] I have also read about some iconic sites③，such as the Sydney Opera House and the Great Ocean Road，and animals like the cute koalas and kangaroos.I can't wait to④ see all of them! However，as I major in⑤ social studies，I'm more interested in meeting people in Australia and experiencing their culture, food, and way of life.[2] 1 Oct I'm here in Sydney! Since I arrived，my friend has brought me to my first open­air barbecue and has also shared many different but yummy meals with me，so my first impressions of Australia have been all about food! A lot of typical Australian food，such as the Sunday roast，is originally⑥ British.Bakeries，fast­food joints，butcher shops，cafes，and restaurants everywhere provide some of the premier food experiences in the world.The influence of Asian cultures，on the other hand，led to the introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs，along with Australian versions⑦ of foods like the Chinese­inspired⑧ dim sim. 3 Oct My friend and I have arrived in Katherine，a town in Australia's Northern Territory.We're here to learn about the life and customs of the Aborigines，who are native to⑨ Australia.The Aboriginal population might be small，but its influence is still visible⑩.For example，“Bondi” in “Bondi Beach” is an Aboriginal word meaning “water breaking over rocks”．[3] To survive in this vast land on the ocean，the Aborigines had to be in close contact with nature.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.[4] 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 vibrating⑪ your lips.[5] Unlike a horn，there are no finger holes.The didgeridoo player has to change the shape of his mouth in order to change pitch⑫.A skilled player can play for a long 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 I could never make a musical sound with this instrument! 6 Oct It's almost time for me to say goodbye to Australia.I've enjoyed my time here very much.After being here for a while，my biggest impression is the complicated⑬ mix of peoples and cultures that make up the nation.[6] 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 immigrants⑭.[7] It is said that now nearly half of all Australian citizens were either born overseas or have parents who were born overseas. Personally speaking，what I like most about Australia is the people themselves. [8]They have a straightforward⑮ and free­and­easy attitude towards life，and their friendliness and warmth made me feel at home⑯ wherever I went. After experiencing Australia，I have to say that I agree with the tourism slogan⑰：“There's nothing like Australia.” 重点词汇、短语 ①over the school holidays在学校放假期间 ②“to the south of＋地点”指相邻不接壤 ③iconic sites 标志性景点 ④can hardly wait/can't wait to do sth迫不及待地做某事 ⑤major in 主修 ⑥originally adv.最初，起初 ⑦version n．版本 ⑧Chinese­inspired 灵感源自中国的 ⑨be native to 原产于… ⑩visible adj.明显的 ⑪vibrate vt.& vi.(使)振动 ⑫pitch n．音高 ⑬complicated adj.难懂的，复杂的 ⑭immigrant n．移民 ⑮straightforward adj.坦率的；简单的 ⑯feel at home 感觉自在 ⑰slogan n．标语；口号 1. iconic /aɪˈkɒnɪk/ adj.符号的；图标的 2. didgeridoo /ˌdɪdʒəriˈduː/ n.迪吉里杜管 2. located /ləʊˈkeɪtɪd/ adj.位于 4. equator /ɪˈkweɪtə(r)/ n.赤道 5. koala /kəʊˈɑːlə/ n.考拉；树袋熊 6. barbecue /ˈbɑːbɪkjuː/ n.(abbr.
