A

Children always did not do what their parents wanted them to do. They did the things in their own ways. But they always made their parents very happy. Old Mr. Brown had a little son named Tom. He was ten years old. He was very glad when his father wanted him to buy something for him. One day at five o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Brown gave him two dollars and let him buy some stamps(邮票) in the post office. Tom was very excited, because for a long time he did not have so much money. Mr. Brown told him clearly where the post office was. He expected that he would come back in twenty minutes. But nearly two hours passed, Tom did not come back. Mr. Brown was surprised. “He lost his way?” he thought to himself.

At seven in the evening, Tom came back with a box. He was very tired. When he saw his father, he said happily, “Daddy, I used all of your money to buy a box of chocolate. It was very sweet(甜的), but didn’t you think a box of chocolate was quite heavy for a little boy?”

In Australia, primary school students have much free time. Every day, they begin their lessons at about 9:00 in the morning and finish them at 3:00 in the afternoon. And Australian pupils have less homework than Chinese students. Usually they only get their homework on a piece of paper from the teacher once a week.

Having finished their homework at home, some children watch TV, some play games and some children practice playing some instruments(乐器) for a while. But they don’t need to practice for a long time. What’s more, some children go to ride a bike in the street near the house after their homework. If they have other hobbies, they may spend some time on them. Sometimes children help set the table or doing other housework; sometimes they just feed and play with their pets. For example, they talk to the pet dog or the pet cat. And some children take their pet birds out of the cage and play with them. If an Australian child loves reading, he can spend some time reading what he likes.

When weekends come, what do Australian children do? They are not busy doing their homework. What they do is helping clean the house, renting(租) a video to watch, or going out for a picnic with their friends or families.

Australian children usually have four holidays each year. The first one, also the longest one is the summer vacation, which lasts about 6 weeks from December to January. They have the second holiday from April to May for about two weeks. Australian winter vacation lasts from late June to early July for about two weeks. And they can have a fourth holiday in September, which lasts two weeks, too. During the four holidays, parents prepare something funny for their children to do.
