3 . Do you know Australia? Australia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth.     1    The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai. The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution.     2     You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well.

After visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill.      4     Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.       5     After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.
