AUSTRALIA

What do you know about Australia? Are "boomerang" or "kangaroo" the first words that come to your mind when you think of Australia? What is its capital? What interesting places can you visit there? Who was Captain Cook?
Well, if you don't know the answers, don't worry. In the link below you can find a listening about Australia which includes all the answers for those questions and much more information about the country.
You are given the whole text you have to listen to with a lot of gaps and, obviously, you have to complete the text.
After doing this listening activity and checking your answers, read aloud the whole text yourself. Listen to it as many times as you need, paying attention to how words are pronounced. Then record it and seng it to me.
