①Many people go to Australia for vacation. People often ask what the weather is like in Australia. The answer is that it changes a lot! Why? Because Australia is a large country. The weather in different parts in the country is different.
②The 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.
③The areas along the coast(海岸) around Sydney are warm in winter with the lowest temperatures about 10℃ to 16℃. Summer there is warmer and the temperature is about 26℃.
④However, if you think all parts of the country are warm all year round, you'll be inaccurate. 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(温度) there are below zero. In fact many people do not know that there are ski resorts(滑雪胜地) in the mountains of Australia. Amazingly, during winter Australia has more snow than Switzerland.
⑤Anyway, Australia is a good place to visit English is its national language. You can enjoy everything here from sunbathing at the seaside to knocking(敲) snow off your shoes after a day of skiing. If you want to go there for a visit, all you should think about is the weather there.
