Tony gave Claire a new hairstyle and improved her makeup. As he was not allowed to     1     her to the shops, he wrote out a list of things that he would need for his work on the house. Claire went     2     and bought these things. She had an     3     to paint her nails, then she went into an expensive clothes shop. The saleswoman there was     4     to her, so she rang Tony and told him she was being treated     5     . He spoke to the woman, who immediately changed her attitude. Claire thanked Tony,     6     him that he was a “dear”. As she turned around, there stood Gladys Claffern. How awful to be     7     by her, Claire thought. By the look on her face, Claire knew that Gladys thought they were in a     8     . After all, she knew Claire’s husband’s name was Larry, not Tony.     9     it was completely innocent, Claire felt     10     .

It’s almost time for me to say goodbye to Australia. I’ve enjoyed my time here very much. After     1     here for a while, my biggest impression is the     2     mix of peoples and cultures that make up the nation. Although the main cultural influence     3     1788 has been Western culture,       4     cultures have also played a part in shaping the     5     Australian culture, with many of the new cultural influences     6     by immigrants. It is said that now nearly half of all Australian     7     were either born overseas or have parents who were born overseas.

    8     speaking, what I like most about Australia is the people themselves. They have a straightforward and free-and-easy attitude     9     life, and their friendliness and warmth made me feel     10     home wherever I went.

I’m here in Sydney! …A lot of typical Australian food, such as the Sunday roast, is originally British.     1    , fast-food     2    , butcher shops, cafes, and restaurants everywhere provide some of the     3     experiences in the world. The influence of Asian cultures, on the other hand,     4     to the introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs, along with Australian versions or foods     5     Chinese-inspired dim sim.

Of all the traditional festivals, the     1     festival can be found in almost every culture. This important agricultural festival takes     2     after all the crops have been     3     in. People celebrate to show that they are     4     for the year's supply of food.

According to some food experts, there are some     1     of culture that people will lose right away, but with food, there are more opportunities to connect to    2    , family and place.     3     is hardest to give up the food that you grow up     4    . Of course, each person’s comfort food largely depends on where they come from---for a Chinese it might be a plate of dumplings with a saucer of vinegar, and for a native of the UK it might be the classic fish and chips, served hot, salty and sour. One mouthful of comfort food takes us back to our cultural roots,     5     us the “taste of home” that we cry out for and relieving feelings of homesickness.
