Mr Jackson: OK, homework. Has everyone decided which country you’d like to visit? Tony?

Tony: Yes, the country that I’ve chosen is Australia.

Mr Jackson: Good, and what is Australia famous for?

Tony: Well, the Olympic Games in 2000 were held in Sydney. Er, but that’s all.

Mr Jackson: Well, in the centre of the country is a huge rock called Ayers Rock. And something else to see is the Great Barrier Reef. Did you know Australia is the largest English-speaking country in the southern part of the world?

Tony: No.

Mr Jackson: OK. For homework, you must all choose a country that you’d like to visit. I’d like you to imagine you’re there, and you’re writing a letter to your parents back home.
