Last year I went to Australia to study and travel. I stayed in Sydney for two weeks. I visited places of interest in the morning and took English lessons in the afternoon. A friend and I stayed with a family from Sydney. The homestay parents and brothers were very friendly to us. We talked about a lot of things with each other in English.

My spoken English improved (提高) greatly in Australia. I used to speak very little English in China. But in Australia, I had to use it very often. I was soon able to talk with my teachers and homestay family freely.

To me, the best place in Australia is the Sydney Opera House. You can look at it from different sides. I think it is one of the most wonderful buildings in the world. I cannot sing very well, when I was inside, I really wanted to sing.

Time flew when I was in Sydney. Soon came Christmas, then the New Year. I had never spent the New Year without my family. But this year, I was so far away from them. I felt a little homesick. I missed them so much, and l knew they missed me so much, too. In the evening, I phoned my family. When I heard their voices, I began to cry. My homestay mother held me in her arms and comforted me.

I went to England last year. I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.

For example, you must say Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each other better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.

One day, we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. In England, you usually drink tea with milk,too.

Fish and chips is traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fish and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your fingers! It is delicious!

At the bus stop, you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to stand in a line and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get on the bus. Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say, “Excuse me! Are you waiting for this bus?” He was really polite.

Last month, I went to Australia and had great fun there.

My first stop was Sydney. I visited the Sydney Opera House first, then the Bondi Beach. On the beach, I saw many people lying(躺) in the sun. I never saw it in my country. It was very interesting.

The next morning, I went to Fraser Island. The island is about 122km long. It has beautiful lakes and beaches. I joined a Fraser Island camp with some friends. We drove a car around the island. We swam and enjoyed a barbecue(烧烤) on the beach together. We had a wonderful time.

However, there were also many problems.　 One was that I couldn't speak English well. I wanted to talk with people there and make friends with them. But I didn't know what they said.　 Because of this, I often lost my way, too. Luckily, people there were so kind to give help.

From the trip, I felt that the world is small. I came to know that I have to study English very hard.
