Before I stood on the ground of the largest island in the world I knew only a little about prefix = st1 /Australia. I came here in 2000, I had just heard of Sydney and Melbourne, and I knew koalas and kangaroos were Australian animals. To be frank, _ . When I was sitting on the plane traveling from Beijing to Melbourne, many questions were rolling around in my mind ceaselessly. Will, I a foreigner, be welcomed by the Australian or not? How long will it take me to get used to this wholly new life in this strange land? I stepped out the customs sections at Melbourneairport, aimlessly, like a day-dreamer. I really lacked any confidence. However, my start did not seem so bad. I made my way to find a taxi from the information desk. I found my friend, who lived inMelbourne, very easily. I felt that living inAustraliawas not so difficult, with the help of a taxi driver, as I had imagined. At the end of my first day here inAustraliathough, I had only spoken to a customs officer , a receptionist and a taxi driver. With the time passing day after day , I began to understand this country . The most impressive thing for me is the fresh air , the green grass , and the clear and clean water .Several months later , I realized Australiais a good place for entertainment . There are many sports , games , art exhibitions , music and various cultural festivals fill up everyday Australian life . One of these events attracted me so much that I went to see the international air show held in Laverton Melbourne, and my interest in aircraft was _  Australians are outgoing and friendly . Whenever I meet an Australian face to face , going along the same way as me , most people here will say hello to me . After the first few times this happened , I was affected by this custom , and started to say to people in advance , when I met them . In fact , Australiahas many charming points to me . The exotic animals , the tasty wine , the wonderful coastline , even the Australian English accent ! Every experience I undertake is a great discovery to me . All in all , Australiain my eyes is an ideal country for living . Peace , tranquility (quietness) and friendship are forever repeating themes of this country . I loveAustralia.
