Understanding ideas.
Blogging Australia.
1. My name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath. Until a few years ago I was a chef, and a happy one at that, but I wanted more out of life. I wanted to travel. At that time I discovered blogging and found that I took pretty good pictures. So I decided to post pictures on my blog. In less than 18 months there were over 200，000 people reading my blog! At first I only regarded it as a hobby, but companies started paying me to take photos and publish them. In 2013, I was determined to make my dream come true: I would become Australia's first professional photo blogger. It was a challenging job, but I did it. Now I spend three weeks out of every month traveling and have over 464000 fans following me online. I've got to know more about this country and its people.
2. I first visited Western Australia for work in 201
3. I fell in love with northern W A and have been back six times. Some of my favorite photographs were taken there. I have made over 140 work trips, but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
3. It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else. The Kimberley region, in
particular, is unique and untouched. As a photographer, I love the bright light and amazing colors: red rocks, green plants, blue green waters and blue skies.
4. To work full time in trouble, you have to love nature. I try to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world. I love to photograph the rising sun, so I force myself into the natural world by waking early every day. I also enjoy photographing animals such as dolphins and kangaroos.
5. I hope so. I use my photography to make an impact on people, especially when it comes to environmental issues. Today I've been photographing a crocodile swimming close to our boat, the Kimberley Quest, all day. When I post the picture online, I will make a comment about how bad it is to feed wild corocodiles. This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans. Over time, this could make her a danger to people living in the area. If I can do something to make others aware of the problem, then that's part of the solution.
Developing ideas.
Coast to coast.
Hi Amy,
1. We made it! My family and I have managed to cross the North American continent, from western to eastern Canada, in two weeks! I can't wait to share the stories with you.
2. We started from Vancouver, where we picked up our vehicle for the trip- a home on wheels. It took us where we wanted, when we wanted. Dad did the driving, but he has a poor sense of direction. We got lost a few times even with the help of GPS, but eventually we managed to cross the Rocky Mountains. I was hoping to see a bear or even an eagle, but all I saw was a small group of deer. The views were fantastic, though. There were forest, mountains with snowy tops and masses of ice. It's like another world.
3. We reached Quebec on the 18th day, where most people speak French. Well, actually, they speak Quebecis, which is a type of Canadian French. The funniest thing happened on that day. I'd fallen asleep when I heard Dad's phone ringing. He was driving, so I answered it. Guess who it was? Mum! It was then that I realized her seat was empty! How did that happen? Well, while I was sleeping Dad stopped for some petrol and Mum also got out to take photos, and you can guess the rest... She was so
mad! To cheer her up, we went to a typical Quebec restaurant for lunch. We had the famous "poutine", which is a dish of French fries, fresh cheese and a hot brown sauce called "gravy". It's usually followed by pancakes with maple syrup-delicious!
4. So we are now in Newfoundland, the very eastern part of Canada and the end of our journey. To celebrate, we went on a boat trip yesterday. Mum was using Dad's phone to take photos of the colorful little houses along the coast when we saw something amazing-a killer whale! Mum was so excited that she dropped the phone into the sea. This time it was Dad's turn to get mad! Anyway, another family from Quebec was also on the boat and they got some great photos of the whale. They are going to send them to us when they get back home. What's more, their sons the same age as me. He's so cool! We're going to keep in touch, so I now have someone to practice French with!
With love,
Eva

16 May
Hi Emma,
I'm having a really great time in Yunnan, China! At the moment we're at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain. We spent the whole day hiking and I even saw some huge yaks! The landscape is so beautiful! Tomorrow we are going to visit the famous old town of Li jiang. It's going to be a lot of fun!
I've got to go, but miss you a lot.

Frederick William Ⅰ，the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence.

伊莱亚斯的故事 我叫伊莱亚斯。我是南非一个穷苦的黑人工人。第一次见到纳尔逊曼德拉的时候，是我一生中非常艰难的时期。当时我才12岁。那是在1952年，曼德拉是我寻求建议的黑人律师。他为黑人提供法律问题上的指导。他对此从不吝惜自己的时间，在这一点上我很感激他。 我需要他的帮助是因为我只受到很少的教育。我六岁开始上学。学校离家有3英里远，我仅仅在那里读了两年。我不得不辍学，因为我的家庭无法支付学费和交通费。我既不会读，也不会写。几经周折，我才在一家金矿找到工作。可是那个时候你想要住在约翰内斯堡就非得要有身份证不可。非常遗憾的是我没有这个证件，因为我不是在那里出生的，我很担心我会不会失业。 有纳尔逊曼德拉帮助的日子是我一生中最快乐的时光。他告诉我要在约翰内斯堡站住脚，应当如何获取证件。我对自己的未来更充满了信心。我永远不会忘记曼德拉多么善良。当他组织了非国大青年联盟时， 我立即加入了这个组织。他说:“过去30年来所出现的许多法律剥夺了我们的权利，阻挡了我们的进步，一直到今天我们还处在几乎什么权利都没有的阶段。”他说的是真话。当时黑人不能选举或选择他们的领导人。他们不能做自己想做的工作。他们在城里的住宅区都是由白人决定的。他们被打发去居住的城镇之外的地方是南非最贫穷的地区。在那儿没有人能够种庄稼。事实上就像纳尔逊曼德拉所说的： “……我们被置于这样一个境地：我们要么被迫接受低人一等的现实，要么跟政府斗争。我们选择向法律进攻。首先我们以和平的方式来打破法律法规，而当这种方式也得不到允许时……只有到这个时候，我们才决定用暴力反抗暴力。”事实上，我并不喜欢暴力……但在1963年的时候，我帮助他炸毁了一些政府大楼。那是很危险的事情，因为如果我被抓住了，可能要做几年牢。但是我乐于帮忙，因为我知道，这有助于实现我们黑人和白人平等的梦想

Unit 5 ELIAS` STORY My name is Elias.I am a poor black worker in South Africa.The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life.I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems.He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful. I needed his help because I had very little education.I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away.I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well.After trying hard,I got a job in a gold mine.However,this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg.Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work. The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest.He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg.I became more hopeful about my future.I never forgot how kind Mandela was.When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could.He said:"The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.” It was the truth.Black people could not vote or choose their leaders.They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people.The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa. No one could grow food there .In fact as Nelson Mandela said:“…we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws.We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed…only then did we decide to answer violence with violence.…… As a matter of fact, I do not like violence…but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings.It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison.But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.
