Question

【題目】 Australia is a country of immigrants(移民). Around 50 percent of students in Melbourne come from other countries. Therefore, we read many articles about foreigners’ lives in Australia. Teachers ask us to find our own identity (身份) from these articles. In the course English as an Additional Language, we read a picture book called Tales from Outer Suburbia by an Australian writer Shaun Tan.

The book has lots of short stories. Among them, I like Inner Courtyard(內(nèi)庭，內(nèi)院) best. It is about an Italian family. They moved to Australia, but they couldn’t fit into the new environment and complained a lot. However, one day they found an inner courtyard by accident. The things in it were from their home country. Then the secret courtyard became a little paradise (天堂) for them. They relaxed, played games and had a picnic there.

As an international student, I totally understand the value(價(jià)值) of the inner courtyard for every family, especially an immigrant family. I face the same problems when I study and live in Melbourne. Everything is different, including language and habit, and I have to fit into all of it. It’s so painful that sometimes I miss China very much. That’s why we need the inner courtyard to have a rest and escape from reality (現(xiàn)實(shí)) for a while. For me, it’s my bedroom. I decorate it with postcards of China and Chinese books. I collect some Australian souvenirs (紀(jì)念品), which make my inner courtyard colorful.

【解析】

文章大意：澳大利亞是一個(gè)移民國家。墨爾本大約50%的學(xué)生來自其他國家。因此，我們讀了很多關(guān)于外國人在澳大利亞生活的文章。作為一名留學(xué)生，我完全理解每一個(gè)家庭，尤其是移民家庭的內(nèi)部庭院的價(jià)值。我在墨爾本學(xué)習(xí)和生活時(shí)也面臨同樣的問題。一切都不一樣，包括語言和習(xí)慣，我必須融入其中。這太痛苦了，有時(shí)我非常想念中國。這就是為什么我們需要內(nèi)院休息一下，暫時(shí)逃離現(xiàn)實(shí)。對我來說，這是我的臥室。我用中國明信片和中國書籍裝飾它。我收集了一些澳大利亞紀(jì)念品，使我的內(nèi)院五彩繽紛。
