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 is. It is 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colours of the rock are fantastic. And at different times of the day, the colour changes. 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 and 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 wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing. ‎ Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and ‎ 13‎ ‎ ‎ the countryside near the coast is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆)is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand. ‎ The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼)ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry.

An explosion(爆炸)in 1996 made a cloud of 300, 000 fragments(碎片). Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time.

It's bad for their eyes. They can easily be shortsighted after playing computer games for a long time. Besides, they can't pay attention to their studies, either. What should we do to keep healthy? Firstly, I think we should eat more vegetables and fruit. Secondly, we should listen to parents' suggestions, and stay away from computer games. Thirdly, we should sleep about eight hours every day. We can do sports every day, such as running and playing ball games.‎ 13‎ ‎ ‎
