Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm writing this letter to you from the center of Australia.At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock.On the first day,we took a balloon tour over the rock,and I was surprised at how big it was:3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high.The colors of the rock are fantastic,and at different times of the day,they change from purple to red.The Aborigines are the first people of Australia,and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world.Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.
The Australians have many British relatives.That's why they're like us in many ways.Their family life is similar to ours,and they enjoy the same food and hobbies.The food and drinks that most Australians like are grapes,lamb,ham and especially wine
