On the twenty-sixth of July, I will start to live in Australia for a year. Some things that I am afraid of are wild animals, some ill-tempered aborigines and maybe some spoiled teenagers. For wildlife, I am most afraid of a large cluster of spiders, big mosquitoes and poisonous snakes etc. Sometimes I think about this picture, when I sleep, a poisonous spider or snake comes close/near to my bed, what a horrible thing! I think they are everywhere in Australia and I should be careful about them. When it comes to aboriginals and spoiled teenagers, if they make mistakes, the local government will not judge them the same way they judge other people. Even then I still think Australia is a developed and civilized country, so most of the time it is ok.
