Australia is located south of Asia between the Pacific and the Indian Oceans. It is a vast continent, made up of mainland Australia and of island of Tasmania to the south. The Australian continent is washed in the north by the Timor and Arafura Seas and Torres Strait, in the east by the Tasman and Coral Seas, of the South Pacific Ocean, in the south by Bass Strait and the Indian Ocean. Australia is the flattest of the continents. Its most important chain is the Great Dividing Range running down most of the east coast. Other mountains include the Kimberley and Hamersley Ranges in Western Australia, the Flinders Range in South Australia. The centre of the continent is taken by the deserts: Great Sandy Desert, Great Victoria Desert, and Simpson Desert. There are few rivers in Australia. Its best known river is the Murray. The longest is the Darling. 2. Great Britain is the name of the largest island of the British Isles and it is made up of England, Scotland and Wales, it doesn't include Northern Ireland. Geographically, the island of Great Britain is subdivided into two main regions — Lowland Britain and Highland Britain. Lowland Britain comprises southern and eastern England. Highland Britain consists of Scotland, most of Wales, the Pennines, and the Lake District. The Pennine Chain extends southward from the Cheviot Hills into the Midlands. The chief rivers of Great Britain are: the Severn, the Avon, the Thames and some others. There are many lakes in Great Britain. The coasts of England are washed by the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the English Channel and the Strait of Dover. Scotland includes the Hebrides off the west coast, and the Orkney and Shetland Islands off the north coast. It is bounded by the North Sea in the east. The Highlands of Scotland are among the oldest mountains in the world. Most of the population of Scotland is concentrated in the Lowlands. Here on the Clyde, is Glasgow, Scotland's biggest city. Wales is a highland country of old, hard rocks. North Wales is a country of mountains and deep valleys. South Wales is a land of high hills and wide valleys. The pride of Wales in scenery is Snowdonia, a region of high mountains. Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales. 3. The USA covers 9,372,614 square kilometres. It is washed by the Atlantic Ocean in the east and by the Pacific Ocean in the west. It stretches from Canada in the north to Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Gulf of California in the south. The USA is divided into three areas: Eastern area — highland, where the Appalachian Mountains are situated, Central area — plain, and Western area which is mountainous and includes the Cordilleras and the Rocky Mountains. The north-eastern part of the USA is the region of the five Great Lakes. The St. Lawrence River joins the water of the five lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. In the west of the USA there is another lake called the Great Salt Lake. The main rivers of the USA are the Mississippi, the Missouri, the Yukon, the Colorado, the Columbia, the St.-Lawrence, and the Hudson. 4. Russia is washed in the north by the Arctic Ocean and its seas: the Barents, Chukchee, East Siberian, Kara, Laptev and White Seas, in the south by the Black, Azov and.Caspian Seas; in the east by the Bering Sea the Sea of Japan, and Okhotsk Sea; in the west by the Baltic Sea. The size of Russia is hard to imagine. A flight from Moscow to Magadan takes eight hours. Russia is a land of long rivers and large lakes. Among the world's longest rivers rank the North Dvina, the three mighty Siberian rivers: Ob, Lena and Yenisei, and the Amur. The largest of all Russia's rivers is the Volga. The three largest lakes in Russia are Baikal in South-Eastern Siberia and Ladoga and Onega in Northern Russia. The relief of Russia is mostly flat. It's located on two plains: the Great Russian Plain and the Western Siberian Plain. There are three main mountain ranges in Russia. The Caucasus stretchers from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. The highest mountain is Mount Elbrus. The Urals extend from the Arctic Ocean to the steppes. They divide the European and Asian parts of Russia.

A Aboriginal art B The Legend of the Rainbow Snake C Dreamtime D Sacred sites E Original survivors F A travel guide G Peculiarities of Australia 1. The Aborigines probably came to Australia from South East Asia about 60,000 years ago. Australia in those days was a much wetter continent, with large forests and numerous lakes. The Aborigines settled all over the country and quickly adapted to Australia's different climates and conditions, from snowy mountains to deserts and rainforests. They were mostly nomads. The men hunted and the women collected plants and seeds. They had no domestic animals except the dingo, and used tools made of wood and stone. They knew exactly how to get fresh water and even went so far as to squeeze frogs which store water in their bodies! They lived in small family groups of 10 to 50 people, each with its own language or dialect. When the British colonised Australia in the 18th century they wanted the Aborigines to adopt European ways of living. But the Aborigines didn't want to give up their way of life. There have been many fights between the Aborigines and the settlers, but these days their culture is accepted and many Aborigines are returning to their traditional ways. 2. The Aborigines believe in the Dreamtime which was a time when their 'spirit ancestors' created the land and all forms of life on it. There are lots of Dreamtime stories and songs which are passed down the generations. The Aborigines sing them around campfires with the accompaniment of clapping sticks and the didgeridoo, their national instrument. 3. One of the Dreamtime stories runs as follows: The whole world was asleep. Everything was quiet, nothing moved, nothing grew. The animals slept under the earth. One day the rainbow snake woke up and crawled to the surface of the earth. She pushed everything aside that was in her way. She wandered through the whole country and when she was tired she coiled up and slept. So she left her tracks. After she had been everywhere she went back and called the frogs. When they came out their stomachs were full of water. The rainbow snake tickled them and the frogs laughed. The water poured out of their mouths and filled the tracks of the rainbow snake. That's how rivers and lakes were created. Then grass and trees began to grow and the earth filled with life. . 4. All over Australia there are many Aboriginal sacred sites. The Aborigines take care of them so that the 'ancient spirits' are not offended and continue to protect them. One of the most important ones is Uluru, the famous rock situated in Central Australia. Uluru has several caves filled with paintings showing legends of the Dreamtime. 5. Art is very important to the Aborigines. For thousands of years they have painted stories from their Dreamtime on rocks and barks. They have also painted their bodies for ceremonies. Paint was made from rocks, clay and coal. This produced the traditional Aboriginal colours - red, brown, black and white. Modern Aboriginal artists continue the tradition using modern materials in their works. Today, Aboriginal art is gaining popularity all over the world. 6. Queensland.With regions such as the Gold Coast and Whitsundays, it's little wonder that Queensland brings to mind lazy days on sunny beaches. It's true, the perfect climate and seaside towns show relaxed Australian culture at its best. New South Wales Welcome to New South Wales. Australia's oldest state is packed full of amazing attractions, places of spectacular natural beauty, unique history and a bunch of fun activities for all to enjoy. Australian Capital Territory Welcome to the nation's capital. It's full name is a bit of a mouthful so the state is known simply as the ACT. You could easily miss it on the map as it's far smaller than the state of New South Wales that completely surrounds it. Victoria. For a small state, Victoria has some of the best sightseeing and most fascinating places in the country. From the heady Gold Rush days to the dramatic scenery, there are surprises around every bend.

A. Children and bad manners B The place to relax C Ban smoking (No smoking) D Your dress (clothes) and your purse E Good and bad manners F The British about themselves G Lovers of queues 1. If you go out to enjoy yourself, you can wear almost anything. It is no longer a requirement of theatres that the audience should wear evening dress. So what you wear depends, perhaps, on how much you paid for your ticket. At the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, for example, spectators in the stalls, the circle and the boxes are usually dressed formally, whilst those peering down from the amphitheatre may well be in jeans. People do, however, tend to dress more formally for ballet and opera than for the theatre and concerts. 2. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer people now smoke. There is no more smoking on the London Underground, in cinemas and theatres and most buses. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. And non-smokers can be rude to smokers who break the rule and smoke in public places. 3. Pubs are an important part of British life. People, especially men, go to the pub to relax, meet friends, and sometimes to do business. At one time, it was unusual for women to go to pubs. These days, however, there are only a few pubs where it is surprising for a woman to walk in. Children under the age of 14 are still not allowed into some pubs. Pub food is cheaper than most restaurant food, and you don't have to leave a tip. But you do have to go to the bar to get your food and drink. There are no waiters in pubs. 4. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street. In Britain it is quite common to see people having a snack while walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. On the other hand, the British may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evenings because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night and, if they make a noise in public or in a restaurant, it is considered very rude. In Victorian times it used to be said that 'Children should be seen and not heard', since children did not participate at all in public life. In recent years, children are playing a more active role and they are now accepted in many pubs and restaurants. 5. According to a survey conducted by a television company last year, Britain is a nation of tea-loving soap opera fans who value privacy, love their pets, grumble about the weather and very proud of their sense of humour. 73 percent of people drink traditional tea, compared to six percent who prefer Earl Grey tea, 53 percent of people treat their pets like a member of the family, 39 percent think the weather is the most annoying aspect of living in Britain. People generally don't mind queuing and can be spotted abroad by their tanned skin, football shirts, wearing socks with sandals and a pint of beer in their hand. 6. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behaviour of its inhabitants. The British like forming queues. In fact, queuing is supposed to be their national characteristic. 'An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one,' joked George Mikes. So one of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The British are very sensitive to such behaviour and they may get really annoyed with queue-jumpers - people who don't wait their turn in the queue.

THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER After Frank Candlin Margit and Eduard Erling have been to England several times before. They usually came by air, but this time they decided they would try coming by sea. "I suppose we shall be sea-sick, but I'm ready to try anything once," Margit had said, when they bought their tickets, and now they were halfway across the Channel, with the sun shining overhead, and the sea as calm and smooth as a lake. They had set off from their home in Lucerne (Switzerland) late the evening before and travelled across France all through the night, arriving at Calais in time to go on board the cross-Channel boat waiting at the quay. Having seen their suitcases put away in one of the luggage-racks, they went straight down to the restaurant for breakfast — an English breakfast: bacon and eggs, toast and marmalade and tea or coffee. Coming up on deck after breakfast, they saw that the coast of France was disappearing behind them and ahead, shining white in the bright sunlight, were the cliffs of England — the white cliffs of Dover. Margit and Eduard joined the many passengers who were leaning on the rails watching the English coast coming nearer and nearer. At last the cliffs closed round them, and they were in Dover Harbour. Giving up their landing cards they stepped on to the quay. It seemed much more exciting than getting out of a plane at the London Airport. At the entrance to the Customs Office their passports were checked. Inside they found their porter waiting for them with their bags on the long wooden tables behind which stood the customs officers. The officer did not ask them to open their cases and in another minute they were through the gate, on the platform, and then sitting in their reserved seats on the London train. As the boat-train pulled in, Eduard was going to call a taxi, but Margit said she would rather go by "Tube". She thought travelling by Underground was part of the fun of coming to London. So, leaving their bags in the Left Luggage Office, they went on the District Line to Charing Cross. This line runs mostly on the surface, and goes underground only in the centre of London. At Charing Cross they changed to the Baker-loo Line. They followed coloured lights along tunnels till they came to the train for Piccadilly. After a lunch in a restaurant, they travelled back to Victoria Station by bus, and caught a local train to Bishopton, where their friends were waiting for them at the station with the car.
