Queensland is one of the most amazing states in Australia. It has some of the most beautiful natural scenery on the planet, with the Great Barrier Reef, rainforests and impressive beaches.

The Great Barrier Reef

It is one of the world’s largest natural features. It stretches more that 2,300 km along the north eastern coast of Australia from the northern tip of Queensland to just north of Bundaberg. The things that most surprise visitors to the reef are the colors.

Without doubt, the best way to see the Great Barrier Reef is by diving. If you have a little extra money and you are feeling a bit lazy, you can fly over the reef in a plane.

Fraser Island

Another area of natural beauty is Fraser Island. This is the world’s largest sand island. It’s best visited from Hervey Bay on the mainland, where there are a number of places offering trips around the island. To fully appreciate Fraser Island you should go for three or four days. Attractions include some beautiful fresh-water lakes, particularly Lake Wabby and Lake Mckenzie. You can walk around these on white sands untouched by human footprints. Indian Head also has some beautiful views. Braver travelers can go and watch sharks circling the water hundreds of meters below.

The Whitsunday Islands

It would be a pity to travel around Queensland without taking a trip around the Whitsunday Islands. They were named by Captain Cook in 1770, after the day on which he arrived. Here are some of the great things you can do there.

●Cruise around them on a relaxing trip.

●Take a sailing course.

●Look at the aboriginal (土著的) paintings in caves on Hook Island.

●Have fun in the water doing lots of water sports.

Before you begin studying English, ask yourself one question: “1.” Is it because you want to, or because someone else wants you to? Like every decision in life, studying English must be something you want to do. Here are some tips to help you learn English well.

● Set goals.

If you know why you want to study, setting goals is easy. For example, maybe you want to travel to an English-speaking country. Great! 2. Perhaps you have already known many useful phrases, but you want to improve your listening skills and pronunciation. Whatever your goals are, you should write them down,

● 3.

How long do you need to study to achieve your goals? This answer is different for every student. 4. If you work 40 hours per week，don’t plan on spending another 5. hours a week studying English.

According to the trials of comprehensive college entrance examination reform that the State Council has made．some of the subjects will be examined many times in a year．People have different opinions about this．
Some say that this program gives students more free time．Students can choose the exam time themselves and it's obviously an effective way to improve their grades of the university entrance examination．In addition，if some of the subjects are finished ahead of time，students will be in less pressure during the time．
However，there are also many people against the program．They hold the view that it will increase the burdens of the students by frequent tests．Also，it is a waste of education resources because the exams will cost more in this case．
In my opinion，to pass the exam before the fixed time is a good way to relax ourselves while we are all under the pressure of the university entrance examination．So I'm looking forward to seeing the reform program brought into force．．
