Tasmania has some of the cleanest air on earth, said to be as clean as Antarctic and a fantastic spot to get out into the great outdoors. If you are a keen walker, this is the place for you with numerous trails and walkways winding over the whole island with views over Wineglass Bay and the Bay of Fires.
The TEFL sector is strong in Australia and there are plenty of job opportunities for teachers, especially in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. However, rules and regulations are strict here so you'll need to be qualified and experienced. There are loads of private language schools and, due to visa restrictions for many nationalities, a constant flow of teachers, so there are always vacancies. However, the very nature of language schools means that you are paid an hourly rate and your hours may vary month to month.
The state runs the Adult Migrant Education Program and the Department of Technical and Further Education runs English courses for permanent Australian residents with non-English-speaking backgrounds. You might find yourself teaching children, adult migrants，indigenous（本土的）people or international students from all over the world.
Are you looking for a position in a place where the people are friendly, the weather is good and the pay is generous? Look no further than Australia. Here are the teaching requirements.

【推荐1】Bank Holidays in the UK
Public holidays in the UK are commonly referred to as bank holidays. As the UK is a country made up of four more or less independent regions, official holidays vary depending on whether you live in England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland.
There are eight bank holidays in England and Wales.
Holidays | Time of The Year |
| New Year’s Day (substitute day) | 1 January (3 January 2022) |
| Good Friday | 15 April 2022 |
| Easter Monday | 18 April 2022 |
| Early May | 2 May 2022 |
| Spring Bank Holiday | 2 June 2022 |
| Summer Bank Holiday | 29 August 2022 |
| Christmas Day (substitute day) | 25 December (26 December 2022) |
| Boxing Day (substitute day) | 26 December (27 December 2022) |
When bank holidays fall on a weekend, the following Monday is usually a “substitute” holiday. For instance, 25 December 2022 is Sunday, so there will be a national substitute holiday for Christmas Day on Monday, 26 December 2022.
In Scotland, the summer bank holiday is earlier in August. Moreover, Scots celebrate St. Andrew’s Day on 30 November and 2 January is also a bank holiday, but Easter Monday is not. All in all, there are nine bank holidays in Scotland.
In Northern Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day on 17 March is a bank holiday, and so is Orangemen’s Day on 12 July which commemorates the Battle of Boyne. There are a total of ten bank holidays in Northern Ireland, making it the region with the most holidays in the UK.
The UK does not have a national day, making it only one of two countries in the world without one (the other is Denmark). There’s an old joke about this, that the United Kingdom, once called “the empire on which the sun never sets”, doesn’t need its own national day because it’s indirectly responsible for so many other countries’ national independence days.

How are you? It has been several weeks since I heard from you. I have been missing you a lot these days, so I think I should find out how you are doing. Hope this letter finds you in the best of health. Things here are fine, though they seem to be a little boring now without you.
Since school started, I have made some new friends who are great company. But I keep remembering what a great time we had during our summer vacations. Those long rides in the woods, often shopping at the mall and our video game matches were all so much fun. Things here are a little different, and it is going to take me some time to get used to them.
I have some great professors who make classes very interesting. I actually look forward to doing my homework for these classes. However, there are some really boring science classes that I just don’t seem to enjoy. They all sound so difficult, but I have to learn them. After a few years, I am going to drop these subjects forever! The good thing is that ail the friends I’ve made feel just the same way about these science classes.
How have things been with you? How about your school and all those great friends you keep talking about? Did you join that guitar class you wanted to so badly? Look forward to hearing from you.
By the way, Dad has bought me the latest video game controller. It is really amazing! Wait for you to come back here so that we can have some more video game matches!
Yours truly,
Aaron

A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.”
Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children. “There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”

【推荐1】On my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh-grader where my class was.And he told me it was “on the fourth floor，next to the pool.” I found out five minutes later that we don’t even have a fourth floor and there’s no pool either！Besides that，I didn’t have any trouble with the older kid.
I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school.I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours，so I had to learn how to make full use of time！Our class size is around 550，but joining in clubs，sports，music，and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.
The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself，not just to get a good grade.There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before.I have gotten an A，and not remembered anything later.I’ve changed that this year，and I enjoy school so much more.Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year.If you have a choice between chemistry and sports，the first will prove to be a lot more useful!
While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools，they’re also around in high schools.I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke，but are now partying every weekend.If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying，you will regret it when you’re applying for (申请) college.The“friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all.It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions，but don’t follow their footsteps.Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.

【推荐2】If you had been in my classes in the early McKee days, you would have seen a skinny young man in his late twenties with messy black hair, eyes that looked with a sign of infection, bad teeth and the hangdog look you see on immigrants in Ellis Island photographs or on pickpockets being arrested.
There were reasons for the hangdog look.
I was born in New York and taken to Ireland before I was four. I had three brothers. My father, an alcoholic, wild man, great patriot, always ready to die for Ireland, abandoned us when I was ten. A baby sister died, twin boys died, two boys were born. My mother begged for food, clothing, and coal to boil water for the tea. Neighbors told her to place us in an orphanage, a place for homeless kids. No, no, never. The shame of it. She hung on. We grew. My brothers and I left school at fourteen, worked, dreamed of America an , one by one, sailed away. My mother followed with the youngest, expecting to live happily ever after. That’s what you are supposed to do in America, but she never had a moment of happy-ever-after.
In New York I worked at laboring jobs till I was put into the United States Army. After two years in Germany I went to college on the GI Bill program to become a teacher. In college there were courses on literature and composition. There were courses on how to teach by professors who did not know how to teach. After college I went to McKee, where I put what I had learnt to trial and embarrassed myself when the students considered me a fool.

【推荐3】Terasa Hill did not intend to do something unplanned. It began when Terasa, who had grown up around horses, was observing a horse auction (拍卖). A chestnut: racehorse was for sale? The horse had an injured leg, but that didn’t matter “She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen,” said Terasa.
When the bidding started, Terasa surprised herself by stepping in. There was no way she was going to allow that horse to have an uncertain future. At MYM450, the bidding stopped! Terasa became the new owner of Sierra, a nervous racehorse with an unfortunate past.
Sierra, limping (病) and hurt with pain from a broken knee, became a labour of love for Terasa. After three long months of nursing her under the guidance of a local animal doctor, the leg recovered and Terasa’s most impressive game began.
It wasn’t only Sierra’s leg that needed to recover; Sierra needed to relearn how to trust people. Terasa thought the best way to win Sierra’s trust and fondness was to feed her treats. Terasa provided Sierra with many treats, but none passed the sniff (嗅) test—Sierra turned up her nose at all of them. Desperate, Terasa experimented by making her own mixture of molasses and grains, which she baked in her own kitchen. The cookies were a hit with Sierra and other horses, sending Terasa’s life in a new direction.
Terasa look her treats, called “Barnies,” to a local store. They sold like hotcakes, and within months local businessmen began demanding for more. Terasa’s kitchen was no longer big enough for the increased demand, which forced her to move her operation to an Oshawa company.
Then a serious health problem threatened to derail her plans. Terasa called upon the same determination that had helped her save Sierra to help her overcome her own illness. Family and friends came to her rescue and kept Barnies Ltd. going. Almost a year later, healthy and more resolute than ever, Terasa found a national distributor and Bainies began selling in 144 stores across Canada.
And what about Sierra, the inspiration for all this success and change? The horse has fully recovered and has become a wonderful riding horse.
1. Why did Terase try making her own cookies?| A．To be able to work from home. |
| B．To set up a business of her own. |
| C．To provide a healthy diet for Sierra. |
