In 2004 Australia was ranked the fourth most competitive economy in the world, up from the seventh place in 2003 and the tenth in 2002.

Australia is one of the world’s oldest landmasses and has been populated for an estimated 60 000 years. Before the arrival of European settlers, Aboriginal peoples inhabited most areas of the continent. Australia’s contemporary history is quite short, with the first European settlement established by England in 1788.

On average, Australians spend more years in primary and secondary school than in many other countries, including Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom. Each year Australia welcomes an increasing number of international students.

Australia’s system of government reflects the British and North American models of liberal democracy, but has uniquely Australian features.

A great number of Australia’s native plants, animals and birds exist nowhere else in the world. Australia is committed to conserving its unique environment and natural heritage by a wide range of protecting measures.

State and Territory government have primary responsibility under the Constitution for the actual position of health services.

From the novel “The Thorn Birds” by Colleen McCullough.

There was no help for it, Meggie had to come home. Fee could not manage without her. When Meggie saw her mother, she felt as if an awful weight settled upon her being. Outwardly there was no change, aside from the big belly; but inwardly Fee had slowed down like a tired old clock. And there was no joy in her for the coming baby, not even the rigidly controlled content she had shown over her little son Hal.

That little red-haired fellow was toddling all over the house, constantly into everything, but Fee made no attempt to discipline him, or even supervise his activities. She plodded in her self-perpetuating circle of stove, worktable and sink as if nothing else existed. So Meggie had no choice; she simply filled the vacuum in the child’s life and became his mother. It wasn’t any sacrifice, for she loved him dearly. He cried for her, he spoke her name before all others, he lifted his arms to her to be picked up; it was so satisfying it filled her with joy. In spite of the drudgery, the knitting and mending and sewing, the washing, the ironing, the hens, all the other jobs she had to do, Meggie found her life very pleasant.

There were two new lives in the house. Fee was delivered of twins, two more tiny red-haired Cleary boys, christened James and Patrick. Beyond giving them milk Fee took no interest in them. Soon their names were shortened to Jims and Patsy; they were prime favorites with the women up at the big house, the two spinster maids and the widowed childless housekeeper. It was made magically easy for Fee to forget them – they had three very eager mothers – and as time went on it became the accepted thing that they should spend most of there waking hours up at the big house. Meggie just didn’t have time to take them under her wing because she had to manage Hal. Maggie was the loving nucleus of Hal’s world; he wanted no one but Meggie, he would have no one but Meggie.

Why did Meggie have to come home?

Her mother couldn’t manage without her.

She wanted to see her mother.

She had to look after the baby.

What inward change did Meggie notice about her mother?

She had a big belly.

She had slowed down like a tired old clock.

Outwardly there was no change.

Did Fee take any interest in her son Hal?

She made attempts to discipline him.

She supervised his activities.

He didn’t exist for her.

Why did Meggie find her life very pleasant?

She had a lot of work to do.

She loved Hal dearly and he was fond of her.

She became a mother of twins.

What was Fee interested in?

She was interested in her son Hal.

She took interest only in her new-born twins.

Only her stove, worktable and sink existed for her.

Why did Fee forget about her new-born twins so easily?

Meggie took them under her wing.

The twins had three eager mothers and spent most of their time with them.

Meggie was the loving nucleus of Fee’s world.

In the United Kingdom compulsory education ends at the age of sixteen. However, many students stay on and complete two more years. For some (and I include myself in this category) school just becomes a habit, something you don’t want to give up as it is so familiar to you. School is your world and you know nothing else and so you just keep on going.

Imagine my feelings when sixth form was over and there were no more classes to complete! Instead of feeling a sense of joy and relief I panicked — what was I, Jack McHall, to do? The logical and the best option was to go to university and continue my studies there, so that is, of course, what I did.

Unfortunately, the end of secondary education in the U.K. is not marked by any sense of celebration, like in other countries, for example, like the USA where students graduate at the age of 18 and have a fancy ball. (In the UK you have to wait until you finish college or university before you can have that privilege). In the UK you just ‘finish school!’ The lucky ones have a respectable collection of qualifications to their name as souvenirs; the unlucky ones may have slipped through the net somehow and end up going back to education at a later date when they feel more like studying. Education is more than qualifications, I admit that. But they are what count at the end of the day.

Ask anyone what they remember most about school and they’d probably say the teachers. They are what makes education a humanistic experience and, therefore, are the most memorable: the good ones, the bad ones, the kindest ones, the most generous ones… I was sad to leave them all, but I always was far too nostalgic.

School dinners, as for me, are remembered for a lot of wrong reasons: the long queues, the fat dinner ladies, the tasteless food. Thank goodness, they have introduced healthy eating plans in schools! Pupils are luckier nowadays!

Principally, school is all about belonging to a certain community and sitting in and making a contribution. I remember difficult times in the year, trying to find time for musical productions and athletics competitions. I wanted to do everything and make my school proud. What was more – an athlete or a musician? I was both, and a scholar too; an ‘all-rounder’, I suppose you could say. Luckily, I was able to rely on my natural ability to get me through the exams and didn’t have to spend too much time studying. I just listened to my teachers and got through that way. I thank them, really I do.

So, it will come as no surprise to you to find out that I became a teacher after I finished university. I couldn’t get enough of school and so I stayed there! But this time it’s different. Now I can give something back to society. I face many challenges everyday but keep going.

Текст для аудирования

I’ve learnt from first-hand experience what winter is like, I’ve seen places I’ve heard of or learnt about at school, places I’ve read about in books or seen in the movies. Now I know what it’s like to travel by air, sea and rail and, of course, by road. I can say I’ve interacted with people in Europe, Asia, North America, South America and in the Middle East. I have tried their life and I have seen all the wonders of the world. And I would say that travelling helped me to get more experience and more knowledge about the world we live in than education could give me.

Lots of people believe that travel broadens the mind. In fact, it can sometimes confirm people in their own prejudices. A friend of mine went to Cyprus and when he came back, he complained bitterly that he could not find English food and everything was so foreign! If one travels with that kind of attitude, this person never learns anything about other places and people. Today many people travel not in order to learn or broaden their mind, but to «have a good time» and usually on their terms. I think travel can broaden the mind; but only when there’s room in it to expand.

I’ve just got back from a trip to Japan and what I learned by just being there is more than I’ve ever learned on the Internet. There are so many opinions and I found that whatever people had to say about Japan was radically different from my own experience there. Talking to some locals, I rethink my position on this country. Travel lets you see other people’s lives, cultures, customs and traditions from different parts of the world with fresh look. I admit that people who never leave their countries are narrow-minded and ignorant.

I don’t feel the need to travel anywhere as much I did when I lived in Europe. Canada has a lot of the things I’m looking for: beautiful scenery, quiet places, no beaches full of people with horrible accents demanding fish and chips, nice weather in the summer. I don’t like hot places, so there isn’t really anything I’m missing. I love my house and I don’t like leaving. Seriously, I love hanging on the sofa. My life’s pretty full these days, so when I have the chance to do nothing, I’m as happy as a child.

I feel sad for those people who have never travelled outside of their own hometown. There’s a whole world of different cultures to meet out there, ninety-nine per cent of which you can’t have by just sitting in the living room in front of the TV. When you travel to other countries you can see, feel and touch other ways of living. Some places will shock you, others will please you, but you will never be untouched by experiencing other cultures. You will then appreciate your own life and see it in a different way. You learn and start thinking and perhaps it will change you forever.

I’ve been lucky enough to work all around the world and I have to say it has enlightened me in so many ways. The thing for me is that you have to meet people. Why travel if you’re just going to hang out with the same people? For me, learning how other people think, what they do, what’s important for them and how they live is the “mind-expanding“ side of travel that I enjoy. It’s useful because it puts into question all of the habits and beliefs that you take for granted, and shows us that all lifestyles and points of view are equally valid.
