　Have you ever studied in a foreign country? Maybe it is an amazing experience(经历), especially（特别） when you come to Australia as a foreign high school student. You can have a lot of fun there, especially on holidays.

　　There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is Christmas. Each year, the summer holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning of December to February, which covers （包括）the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most foreign students in Australia students love to fly back to their home countries to stay with their family members and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia during the holiday to get jobs. It is quite easy to find a job at Christmas. Students often take part in some social activities. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australians.

　　Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines “Good Friday” and “Easter Monday”. Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.

　　The Chinese New Year is not a public(公开的) holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to school to study and do the same things as usual.

Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart , you’ll find that the whole world smiles to you. While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?

One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain . Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather.
