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 drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially 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 near the coast the countryside 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 and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down…

Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it’s been a fantastic trip!

We are writing this letter to you because our school has started a group. It is called “Help the Environment”. It works to look after the environment.

Here are some interesting facts that our group has learnt:

We think that most people would agree with these statements:

We need to recycle our waste, not use up the world’s sources（资源）.

It is better to recycle waste than to burn it in the earth or the sea.

Our environment group has decided that one of the best things we can do is collect reusable waste. We will sell this waste to recycling companies and give the money to Friends of the Earth. We would like people living near the school to bring their recyclable waste to the school. But if you are too busy, we will collect it from you once a week.

A Letter from Antioche

Saturday, May 23, AD 526

Dear Father

I write to tell you the shocking news that has happened since you left here last month. On Wednesday, Antioch had a terrible earthquake. Mother and I are safe, and our house is damaged but still standing. However, over 220,000 people in the city have died, and officials expect even higher numbers as the survivors search everywhere for their loved ones. Hundreds are fleeing the city, carrying their few undamaged things on their backs.…

Many of the churches, markets, theaters, and buildings were in bad shapes. All the city was in a mess. Fallen trees, broken windows and rubbish everywhere. One of the saddest losses was theGreat Church. Although it survived the aftershocks, it caught fire yesterday and burned.

Thieves have hit some people who are fleeing the city. But all hope is not lost. Just this morning, brave people saved a young woman and her child from a broken house. As I write, volunteers are getting back many of our pieces of fine mosaic art. They are putting them into boats to take them to other places. And Emperor Justin sent a message this morning, He has promised to help us rebuild.

I wish you a safe journey.

Your son,

Simeon
