She smiled and said, “You’re right, your brother has certainly been a father to you. Go ahead and choose a card. ”
So I did. On Father’s Day, my mother and I sat my brother down and gave him the card .As he read it, I saw his eyes watering. I heard the cracking (哽咽)in Mom’s voice as she said, “Son , your father is proud of you. You do your best to fill his shoes. We love you, and thank you.”

People often ask what the weather is like in Australia. The answer is that it changes a lot! Why? Because Australia is such a large country, weather in different parts is different in the country.
The northern parts of Australia are warm to hot all year round because it is closer to the equator (赤道). In the north, summer is also the rainy season.
The areas along the coast around Sydney are warm in winter with the lowest temperatures about 50 to 60°F. Summer there is warmer and the temperature is about 80°F.
However, if you think all parts of the country are warm all year round, you’ll be wrong. Some parts in Australia are very cold during the winter. When we say cold, we don’t mean that cold like the winter in Harbin. In some places in Tasmania and Victoria, you can see snow and temperatures there are below freezing. In fact many people do not know that there are ski resorts(滑雪胜地) in the mountains of Australia.
Australia is a good place to visit. If you want to visit Australia, you just need to think about the weather there.
