1 . Discovering Tasmania

The island of Tasmania is separated from mainland Australia by the Bass Strait. The island is a place of natural beauty and has more than 2,000 km of walking tracks and 18 national parks. If you go on a tour, you’ll discover a wild and beautiful place where the people are friendly and the food is delicious. If you don’t like walking, there are other tours you can choose from including a river cruise and cycling. You can also combine your tour with fishing, sailing or sunbathing on the beach.

One of the most incredible places to walk is along the Tarkine coast which is located in the north-west of Tasmania. It’s such a wild and remote area that you can easily complete your walk without seeing anyone apart from the members of your group and your two guides. The area contains the largest temperate rainforest in Australia which is home to more than 50 endangered species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage Sites. Your guides will provide you with plenty of information about the area as you complete that part of your tour. During your tour, you’ll come across rivers, mountain ranges, spectacular waterfalls, wildlife and long wild beaches. It will be an experience you won’t easily forget.

Tour Itinerary:

You’re picked up from your hotel in the town of Launceston and driven to the Tarkine. You then complete a three-hour walk through the forest before arriving at your camp at Mystery Creek. There you will enjoy a delicious meal cooked by your guides.

2 . I was driving home late    1    my car lost momentum (动力) and got slower and slower. Nothing I did seemed to make any    2     (different). “It can’t be fuel, ” I thought. The petrol gauge (汽油标量) was showing I had plenty    3    (leave). Then my car died completely after I    4    ( manage) to roll to the side of the road. It was an extremely dark, lonely country road. Neither a single person     5    any traffic was in sight at all. I felt like an idiot. I should not have left without charging my cell phone. The battery was dead and I was alone without any way    6    (contact) my family. Time dripped slowly like a leaking tap.

“God, help me !” I begged anxiously. “Is there someone who will be kind enough to stop and help me out?”     7    , there was no sign of anyone. I was starting to panic,    8    (feel) completely abandoned. Suddenly I saw a faint light     9    the distance. I waved my white scarf as hard as possible. It was a huge lorry. The driver stopped and kindly drove me to the nearest hotel,     10    I had a rest, and I called my family and explained what had happened. How lucky I was! When he stopped for me, I felt as if I had just found a million dollars.

Dear Mum and Dad,

In London at last, we are having great time!

To stay in a hotel in an old castle, and we tried to make a reservation. However, that hotel was booked full. So, instead, we get a couple of beds in a dormitory. Stay in a dormitory was a lot of fun because there were lots of people from various place.

If you had come without us, you would have enjoyed Europe either. All of the paintings I’ve seen so far is fantastic. Now I think van Gogh is his favourite artist.

Is there anything specially I can bring you?

Last Saturday, my parents and I paid visit to my grandparents by train. There was a
large number of people in the crowded train, but everyone help those who had lots of
baggage and behaved politely. Along the way, we enjoyed beautifully views. At first, we saw
one hill after another. Then what came into our eye were fields with green crops. In a six-hour
trip, we arrived at my grandparents’ house. Exhausted though I felt, but I was happy to see my
grandparents, which I hadn’t seen for a long time. It’s really an excited trip because it was the
first time I had taken so a long-distance train.

I love camping. It is my favoritest way to spend the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went on a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully. For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t cost many to camp, and what I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.
