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

    6    (personal) speaking, what I like most about Australia is the people themselves, who have     7     straightforward and free-and-easy attitude towards life, and their     8    (friendly) and warmth made me feel at home wherever I     9    (go).

After experiencing Australia, I have to say that I agree with the tourism slogan: “There’s nothing     10     Australia.”
