3.Text presentation
Australia is called the land down under
because it is below the Equator. It is one of the seven continents of the
world. It is also an independent country , the word’s largest island and the
smallest continent. Australia is the flattest continent after Antarctica. It
is also the world’s driest continent. It’s an island of 7.7 million square
kilometres and the sixth largest country in the world.
The first people to live in Australia were
aborigines. Aboriginal means first. Today there are still aborigines in
Australia. Some live on reservations, some live on ranches (called stations or
property) or in cities. You can see some examples of their beautiful art if you
visit Australia. The aborigines love music. They sing and play their
instruments. When they dance they put colours on their faces, arms and
legs.
Australia is a multicultural society.
People from about 200 nations live there. Most people live in or near cities.
They speak English. Australia’s official language is English.
Australia is made up of six states and two
territories. They are New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia,
South Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory and Australian Capital
Territory. It is about the size of the United States (not including Alaska.)
18.3 million people live there. Canberra is the capital of Australia.
The climate in Australia is varied. It is
situated in the Southern Hemisphere. That’s why it has summer when we have
winter. January is the hottest month in Australia.
The middle part of the country is called
the outback. The outback does not get very much rain and is very dry. Not very
many people live in the outback.
In the outback, there are some sheep and
cattle ranches (property.) There are about ten times more sheep than people in
Australia. Sheep are raised for wool and for meat. Stations are very big. Some
stations are so big they have to use planes to keep track of the animals.
There are many interesting animals in
Australia. When the kookaburra calls, it sounds like a laugh. There are 50
species of kangaroo. The koala is the best loved of all Australian animals.
The emu is big and cannot fly. The kangaroo and emu can be seen on Australia’s
coat of arms.
Captain James Cook claimed Australia for
England in 1770. It was first used as a prison colony by the English. The first
free settlers landed in Sydney in 1793. Today Sydney is Australia's largest
city. The Sydney Opera House is one of the most unique buildings in the world.
Australia's national sport is Cricket.
Cricket is a little bit like our baseball but it is played with eleven players
and wickets. Australia won the Cricket World Cup in 1999 and 2003. Another
favorite sport in Australia is Australian Rules Football. It is a little bit
like soccer and rugby. Rugby and soccer are also extremely popular. Australia
is also famous for the boomerang. The aborigines used the boomerang as a
weapon. Today children use it as a toy.
In 1901 Australia became a nation within
the British Empire under Queen Victoria’s rule. It was called the Commonwealth
of Australia. In 1931 Australia gained its independence from Great Britain.
