Australia
Australia is a country in the south Pacific Ocean. It is also one of the seven continents of the world. A
“continent” is a very large piece of land. Australia is the world's sixth largest country and is nicknamed
the world's largest island.

Australia has many different types of climates. There are rain forests (areas with trees and lots of rain),
mountains, and grasslands. Most of Australia, however, is desert. While desert is the primary climate on
land, the ocean climate is quite the opposite. Just off the coast of Eastern Australia lies one of the most
impressive and beautiful wonders of the world: the Great Barrier Reef.

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef. “Coral” is a kind of animal that lives in the sea
that looks like a plant. A “coral reef' is a group of coral that are connected together to form a wall. The
Great Barrier Reef is 1600 miles long and can be seen from space. It is home to approximately 900
islands, many of which can be visited or lived on.

Travel
Travel is something which people do every day. It is very difficult to avoid the need to travel. It may be a
trip to school, university or to work. Travelling can often take a long time, especially when great
distances need to be covered. People often enjoy travelling abroad for holidays. But for some people
travelling is not fun at all. Some people suffer from travel sickness. This means that they will become
very unwell each time they travel.

Travelling can be either affordable or costly. It often depends on how far you want to travel and the
choice of transport. Using a bicycle will not cost anything as you power it by using your legs. However,
the use of a bicycle can be hard work and can take a lot of time to travel long distances. Cars and
motorcycles are faster modes of transport, but are more expensive to use as gasoline is needed for
them to work. It can usually be assumed that the longer you wish to travel, the more expensive and time
consuming it will be.

The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances. A pilot will fly a plane
from an airport for many thousands of miles to take people to places far away. Although traffic is rarely
a problemfor airplanes, it can take a lot of preparation to travel by plane. People often need to arrive at
the airport three hours prior to departure.

A train is another mode of transport which is ideal for travelling long distances within the same country,
or between countries which are connected by land. A train driver will stop at train stations on route to
allow passengers wishing to proceed to the scheduled destination to board the train.

A number of destinations can be travelled to by using the sea. People often depart from a harbour in a
ferry which is driven by a captain. If the journey is a long distance, people may choose to sleep on the
ferry while they wait to arrive at their destination. Some people choose to go on a cruise for their
holiday, which would involve stopping at many different city ports for a short amount of time. People
who need to travel short distances may choose not to use any transport at all. People often rely on their
legs to take them to places nearby. This is often encouraged as certain modes of transport have been
said to produce harmful emissions and pollute the environment.

1.Which mode of transport does not cost money?

A.Car B.Train C.Plane D.Bicycle

2. Why do some people not enjoy travelling?

A. They find it a waste of time

B. It is not comfortable

C.It is expensive

D. They become unwell

3. Name the mode of transport which is controlled by a pilot and stops at an airport.

A.Plane B.Ship C.Train D.Bus

4. Name the mode of transport which is controlled by a captain and stops at a port.

A.Bus B.Taxi C.Ferry D.Plane.

5. What is a vehicle that you have to use your legs to pedal it?

A.Bicycle B.Motorbike C.Car D.Ferry

6. Which mode of transport is ideal for travelling between countries connected by land?

A. Ship B.Bus C.Train D.Boat

B. Types of tourism in Singapore

C. Introducing the car of the future

D.The establishment of air traffic control

E. The process of generating electricity at a nuclear power plant

1.____________________________________________________________

Singapore is well-known for being a clean and safe country that has many interesting sites to see. In
addition to vacation tourists, many people go to Singapore each year to receive medical care. These
people are called medical tourists. The third major kind of tourism that is important to Singapore is
educational tourism. Each year, thousands of international students study at Singapore's universities.
Many of these students are from nearby Asian countries, but some are also from Europe and the United
States.

2. ____________________________________________________________
How is electricity generated ata nuclear power plant? First, water is heated into steam, which turns a
turbine connected to a generator. Then, the generator converts the mechanical energy of the spinning
turbine into electrical energy. Finally, the electrical energy is transmitted to homes and buildings
through transmission lines.

3. ____________________________________________________________

An accident that occurred in the skies over the Grand Canyon in 1956 resulted in the establishment of
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to regulate and oversee the operation of aircraft in the skies
over the United States, which were becoming quite congested. The resulting structure of air traffic
control has greatly increased the safety of flight in the United States, and similar air traffic control
procedures are also in place over much of the rest of the world.

4. ____________________________________________________________

Here is the car of the future! This car is the opposite of todays' cars; today's cars are noisy and dirty, this
one is silent and clean. Today's cars have wheels, this one does not. It moves like a snail, but much faster
than a snail! This car will use electric energy, not petrol or gasolene; it will have batteries that can be
recharged instantly from chargers in the road. It will also be very easy to drive.

5. ____________________________________________________________

The earth's internal heat is called geothermal energy.Geothermal energy can be used to heat homes and
produce electricity. There are homes in Boise, Idaho that have been heated solely by hot springs since
the 1890's. Also at the Geysers in California, steam drives turbines that generate electricity. This steam
comes from underground water that is heated by geothermal energy.
