Australia, with a land area of 7,686,850 square kilometers, is surrounded by the sea on all sides and is the only country in the world that covers an entire continent. Australia, with its many unique flora, fauna and natural landscapes, is a multicultural immigrant country.
The word “Australia” originally means “the southern continent”, which is derived from the Latin word “terraaustralis” (the land in the south). When Europeans discovered this continent in the 17th century, they mistakenly believed it was a piece of land that led directly to the South Pole, and thus named it “Australia”.
Australia is a highly developed capitalist country. As the most economically developed country in the Southern Hemisphere and the 12th largest economy in the world, as well as the fourth largest exporter of agricultural products globally, it is also the world’s top exporter of many minerals. Therefore, it is called the “country sitting on a mine cart”. At the same time, Australia is also the country with the largest number of free-range sheep and the largest export of wool in the world, and is also known as the “country on the back of sheep”. Australia’s population is highly urbanized, with nearly half of its citizens living in the two major cities of Sydney and Melbourne. Many cities across the country have been rated as among the most livable places in the world. It is also a sports power and hosts many global sports events all year round. Australia actively participates in international affairs. It is a founding member of APEC and also a member of the United Nations, the G20, the Commonwealth, the Pacific Security Treaty, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the Pacific Islands Forum.
Accommodation
The local area mainly features detached houses, townhouses and semi-detached villas. Due to the vast land and sparse population, it has led to a situation where every family has a very comfortable accommodation environment. So, whether in the city center or a bit further away, there are always clusters of villas. Of course, among them, there are no shortage of apartment-style houses.
Education
The quality of education is one of the criteria for measuring whether a country is excellent or not. Cultivating the abilities of the next generation is also a test of a country’s respect for history and responsibility for the future. Under the well-developed local education system, students will learn from middle school how to think independently, diverge their thinking, and view problems with a critical perspective. What professors teach students is not merely how to calculate a problem, but more importantly, to understand the essence behind each problem. The success of a country’s education is by no means merely about teaching; it is more about the combination of education and nurturing people. This is the educational philosophy of a civilized and developed country.
Diet
The Australian people attach great importance to the quality of food in their diet. They demand meals that are visually appealing, fragrant and delicious. The staple food that the Australian people like most is noodles. Australians also enjoy chicken, duck, fish and meat, etc. They love various cooking methods of different cuisines and require that every dish be topped with unique Australian seasonings. Australians also have a great fondness for beverages, especially coffee. Some Australians also enjoy black tea. Many Australians like light food and enjoy all kinds of fruits, especially lychees, watermelons and so on.
