                                               The Climate(气候) in Australia
     Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere(南半球). The climate is just opposite to (与------相反)
China's.  Winter comes in July and summer comes in January. In most parts of Australia, summers are hot
and winters are warm. Winters are often warm enough (的)  for people to play outside.  It's warm enough
in winters for cattle and sheep to stay outdoors. There isn't enough rain in most parts of Australia. It's quite
dry. That is one of the reasons (原因) why there is a small population  (人口) in Australia.
