Dear Zhang Hui,

We have now been in Australia for five days. The plane trip was great. The weather here is lovely! People complain that it is too hot but it is not nearly as hot here as it's been at home lately. We were supposed to stay at a hotel in the city but we moved to Bondi Beach, which is 8 kilometers from the city. It takes half an hour by bus from the centre of Sydney. We’ve been swimming every day-- the water here is so refreshing. Yesterday we went to Taronga Park Zoo which is only a short ferry ride across Sydney Harbour. We saw koalas(树袋熊) and kangaroos (袋鼠) and many other Australian animals. You wouldn't believe it, but while I was eating a sandwich for lunch a kookaburra (笑翠鸟) swooped down and stole my sandwich from the table right in front of me. We all laughed although it left me feeling a little bit hungry all afternoon. From the chair lift we had a close up view of the magnificent giraffes (长颈鹿). The animals in that zoo certainly have a great view of Sydney. From the elephant enclosure you can see the Harbour Bridge, the beautiful Opera House and the city of Sydney gleaming (若隐若现地) across the harbour. Tomorrow we are traveling to Greenville to stay with my host family. I miss you and will write again soon. With love from your friend,

  Liu Mei
