問題詳情：

Before I stood on the ground of the largest island in the world I knew only a little about Australia. I came here in 2000, I had just heard of Sydney and Melbourne, and I knew koalas and kangaroos were Australian animals. To be frank, I was confused and did not know the name of or where the national capital was for a long time.

            When I was sitting on the plane traveling from Beijing to Melbourne, many questions were rolling around in my mind ceaselessly. Will I, a foreigner, be welcomed by the Australian or not? How long will it take me to get used to this wholly new life in this strange land?

            I stepped out the customs sections at Melbourne airport, aimlessly, like a day-dreamer. I really lacked any confidence. However, my start did not seem so bad. I made my way to find a taxi from the information desk. I found my fried, who lived in Melbourne, very easily. I felt that living in Australia was not so difficult, with the help of a taxi driver, as I had imagined. At the end of my first day here in Australia though, I had only spoken to a customs officer, a receptionist and a taxi driver.

            With the time passing day after day, I began to understand this country. The most impressive thing for me is the fresh air, the green grass, and the clear and clean water. Several months later, I realized Australia is a good place for entertainment. There are many sports, games, art exhibitions, music and various cultural festivals fill up everyday Australian life. One of these events attracted me so much that I went to see the international air show held in Laverton Melbourne, and my interest in aircraft was ignited.

           Australians are outgoing and friendly. Whenever I meet an Australian face to face, going along the same way as me, most people here will say hello to me. After the first few times this happened, I was affected by this custom, and started to say to people in advance, when I met them.

           In fact, Australia has many charming points to me. The exotic animals, the tasty wine, the wonderful coastline, even the Australian English accent! Every experience I undertake is a great discovery to me.

           All in all, Australia in my eyes is an ideal country for living. Peace, tranquility （quietness） and friendship are forever repeating themes of this country. I love Australia.
