International students in Christine Rhodes’ English class in Australia share their impressions (印象) of places they have visited in Australia.

Canberra, the nicest city in Australia

I went for a short holiday to Canberra. My uncle lives there. It’s the nicest city in Australia, a little bit similar to Cairns. There’re lots of big rivers and trees around the city.

Siggi Siebold from Germany

The small city of Mount Isa

I went to Mount Isa six months ago. It’s a long way from Brisbane — about 2,000 km. It’s a small city, with a population of 21,000, but it has all the basic facilities such as a base hospital, six schools and supermarkets. Here the weather is hot and gets very little rain. There’re two big lakes to keep rainwater for people in the city to drink.

Lake Moondarra and a mine (矿)

In Mount Isa, there’s a dam (水坝) called Lake Moondarra. At weekends you can go there with your friends, and it is beautiful. On the lake, there is water skiing. Also, people can go fishing there.

There’s a big mine in Mount Isa. Many people go to work in the mine and earn a lot of money. Mount Isa isn’t a beautiful green place, but many people love it.

阅读理解

　　The weather was very cold. Snow was falling. The roads were covered with ice and a strong wind was blowing. It was not a good night to be outside.

　　Thomas, however, had to walk home from work. He had to walk along a country road. As he walked the cold wind beat against his chest.

　　“I'll be warmer,” he thought, “If I wear my coat backwards (向后地).”

　　He stopped walking for a moment, took off his coat, and put it back on backwards.

　　“That's much better,” he thought, and walked on through the thickly falling snow.

　　A few minutes later a car hit him. The driver of the car had not seen him soon enough. When he tried to stop, the car skidded (滑行) on the ice.

　　The driver got out of his car and ran to help Thomas. Soon a police car arrived. The policeman ran to look at Thomas who was lying on the ground.

　　“I'm afraid he's dead,” he told the driver.

　　The driver could not believe this. “He can't be dead.” he cried,“I hardly touched him. Look at my car. There's not a mark on it.”

　　“He's dead.” the policeman said. “There is no doubt (疑问).”

　　“I don't understand it,” the driver of the car said. “As soon as I hit him, I ran to help him. He was lying in the road, but he was breathing and there was no blood (血).”

　　“Did you touch him?” the policeman asked.

　　“Yes,” the driver of the car said. “but only to turn his head around the right way.”
