AustraliaIt is the world’s largest island and its

smallest continent. Much of the land is a useless desert (nearly 2,000,000 square kilometers). Most of the continent is sunny most of the year. There are few rivers. The longest is the Darling.

Its population is very small (only 0,3% of the world’s population) for such a huge country. Many people live far away from towns in the outback.

How Does the Geographical Position Influence the People‘s

Lives in Australia ?

• Because Australia was cut off from the rest of the world, it was the last continent to be discovered.

• Most of the continent is sunny most of the year. That's why Australians suffer one of the world's highest rates of skin cancer from too much sun exposure.

• Severe droughts, floods and cyclones happen very often on the continent. So, life is not easy in Australia.

Great BritainIt is an island state. It covers a territory

of two large islands and several smaller ones. Mountainous areas are found only in the north and west. It has a mild climate.

GB is made up of England, Scotland and Wales. Geographically, the island of GB is subdivided into two main regions - Lowland Britain and Highland Britain. It is a rich country, one of the richest in the world.

Lives in the USA?

• Americans who prefer various landscapes can easily spend interesting vacations within the country. Because if you travel across the country you would go over mountain ranges, cross hundreds of rivers, spend days on the vast, flat prairie lands.

• The southern parts of the country have warm temperatures year round. That’s why fresh grapefruits, oranges, lemons, melons, cherries, and peaches are not imported. Low-cost, high-quality fruits, juices and vegetables are available any time of the year.

East or West – Home is Best?

My name is Grudinina Albina. My native country is Russia. I don’t want to live anywhere else but in Russia. I was born here and I’m not going to leave it. I can’t move to any place because it’s a vast country with various climates, landscapes and possibilities where I can always find a place to my liking. East or West – Home is Best. Russia is a great place to live.

East or West – Home is Best?

I am Petrov Seryozha. I live in Russia. My country is the most beautiful country in the world. I was born here and I’m not going to leave it. The countryside around my village is green, with fertile fields and rich vegetation. Through my village flows a wide, clear river. It’s lovely for swimming. The fishing is said to be excellent too. The people are hospitable. I can’t imagine my life in another country without Russian friends, the Russian language, Russian frost and Russian cookery.

I would like to live in…
