Hi, Susan.
We’re having a wonderful time in Australia. We arrived in Melbourne last week and stayed there for two days. On the first day, we went to Royal Botanic Gardens. Visiting Botanic Gardens is the best free thing to do in Melbourne. There are more than 8500 species of plants here. In the summer, there are also live performances in the Gardens. On the next day, we visited Royal Exhibition building. It’s one of the oldest places in Melbourne. We arrived in Sydney yesterday morning. The city was so nice in the sunshine. We sat in a café by the river and had lunch. Sydney is more exciting than Melbourne, but it is noisier and more expensive. Melbourne is smaller, but it has a lot of lovely old buildings and great restaurants. That’s why I prefer Melbourne.
Wish you were here.
Jennifer.

My name’s Susan. I have two favourite hobbies. My first hobby is reading. I started to do it when I was four years old. The first time I did it, I felt interested. So I kept reading. I enjoy reading because it can make me relaxed and calm. Moreover, it can give me an imagination, so I can write books in the future. I can learn the different cultures and customs of other countries in the world, too.
My second hobby is gardening. I have made a small garden and planted many beds of flowers. In the spring season, my garden is full of beautiful flowers. I have a separate plot for vegetables- carrots, potatoes, etc. In the evening, I water the plants and remove the weeds. I love sitting in my garden and reading my books. It is very pleasant to be there.
