3.When it’s spring in China, it will be autumn in Australia.
4.澳大利亚因绵羊和袋鼠而著名. They are both popular in Australia.
5.You can see kangaroos(袋鼠) not only in zoos but also outside the cities and towns. There are ten sheep for everyone in the country. So people call Australia “Th e country on the backs of sheep”.

Have you seen a kangaroo? It has a “bag” on its body. The mother kangaroo keeps its baby kangaroos in the “bag”. It’s very strange, isn’t it?
