I live in Kaohsiung. Love River is a famous river in Kaohsiung. Fifteen years ago, Love River was dirty, and there was a
lot of trash in it. Now, Love River is different. It is clean and beautiful. There are parks and coffee shops along the river. I

Green Town is a small place near the mountains. My uncle lived there twenty years ago when he was young, and he still lives there now. Twenty years ago,
it was quiet, and there were only three shops there. The river was clean, and the trees were tall and green. Moreover, there were farms everywhere.
Now, there is a new metro station in Green Town. Many people live around it. There are tall buildings and factories everywhere. The air isn’t clean,
and the river is dirty. Everything is different in Green Town. My uncle does not like the change.

Before your trip to Sydney, always ask one question—what’s the weather like there? There’s one tip that you can keep in
mind. Because Sydney is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are the opposite of the north. Here’s a guide that can help
you plan your trip.
From December to February, the summer months in Sydney, it is sunny and warm with water temperature at about 21-23°C.
It is a perfect time to enjoy Sydney’s beaches and water sports activities. Then it’s autumn, when it could be a little cool at night
with the temperature below 15°C. Be sure to bring a jacket when you go for a walk along the beach. June to August are the
coldest months in Sydney. However, it usually rains but seldom snows in winter. Just because the days are shorter doesn’t
mean there is less fun. At the Light Show, the biggest event in winter, you can watch the light dances between the sky and
Sydney Opera House at night! When it’s spring, days are warmer and dryer, getting people ready for the summer fun again.
