Australia is in the South Pacific and it’s the world’s biggest island. We don’t have any
borders with other countries and our closest neighbors are Papua New Guinea and
East Timor. Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It’s thirty times bigger than
the United Kingdom, but nearly three times more people live in the UK. In the center of
the country there is a lot of desert. Most Australians live near the coast, where the
country’s biggest cities are.
There are plenty of exciting cities to visit here, including Canberra, our capital, and
Sydney, which is famous for its Opera House and amazing harbour. However, it is
Melbourne which is near the top of the list of the “most exciting cities of the world.” It
has wonderful beaches, a great nightlife, fantastic shopping, and lots of arts festivals
and exhibitions.
Australia is a fascinating place to visit. We’re very proud of our country and we usually
welcome tourists. Our way of life isn’t very formal, but we often take presents when we
visit people. If someone invites you to dinner, it’s a good idea to take along flowers or
wine for your host.
The good weather means we can do lots of outdoor activities. Summer lasts from
December to February, and winter from June to August. However, Australia is
enormous and the weather isn’t the same everywhere. The north has two types of
weather – very wet and very dry! The center stays dry all year round. But in the south,
the weather changes from season to season. Summer in the south is hot, but winter
can be cold, wet, and windy – you can even go skiing in the mountains!
Come and
visit.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are the three main meals. A lot of workers have a 10-
minute break in the morning (one name for this is “elevenses”) when they stop work to
enjoy a cup of tea (or coffee) with a biscuit (cookie). They have a similar break for a
drink and a snack in the afternoon. Many hotels and restaurants in England serve
“afternoon tea” between 2–5 p.m. This is a light meal of tea, sandwiches, and cakes
(pastries) and it’s very popular with shoppers and tourists.
Breakfast
A traditional full English breakfast is what many hotels serve to guests. It includes egg,
sausage, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, and toast, with tea or coffee, and it contains
around 1,000 calories (women need around 2,000 calories a day, and men need around
2,500). However, most people start their working day with a piece of toast or some cereal –
some don’t have anything at all.

Lunch is between noon and 1:30 p.m., and in England people are more likely to have a
smaller meal in the middle of the day. For example, a sandwich and a bag of potato
chips, or a takeaway (takeout), which they can eat at their desk. They often work while
they eat. If it’s someone’s birthday, a group of people who work together might go to a
restaurant or a pub for lunch.
Dinner
Dinner (also called “supper” in the south of the country and “tea” in the north) is the
biggest meal of the day, and they have it between 6 and 8 p.m. In the past, the
traditional evening meal was “meat and two veg (vegetables)” then a pudding (dessert),
and on Fridays a lot of people ate fish. Today, many families enjoy a traditional dinner
on Sundays, but during the rest of the week they like to cook lots of different things,
including food from other countries. Indian food is now more popular in England than
fish and chips. Around two million English people go to Indian restaurants every week!
