假设一下，你应邀现在要做一个小型演讲，介绍你的弟弟Tim的一次旅行：

开场白

Hi, Ladies and gentlemen, today I would like to share with you my brother  Tim’s exciting experience in Australia.

Tim在一个大公司工作，做的是engineer也就是工程师。

Tim works for a large company as an engineer.

我猜这个公司估计是在澳大利亚，所以Tim有了第一次出国的机会。

I guess that his company is in Australia. So that is why Tim has got a chance to travel abroad for the first time.

他在澳大利亚待了6个月时间，并且去了很多地方

He has stayed there for six months and has already been to a lot of places in the country.

我们知道，澳大利亚是一个地广人稀的国家。

As we know, Australia is a large country with a small population.

所以, Tim还买了一辆澳大利亚的汽车。这样旅行就方便了。

So Tim has just bought an Australian car and this makes his travelling much easier.

Tim去了好多地方，其中包括Darwin，在澳大利亚北部，是一个主要港口城市。

Tim has visited many places, including Darwin, a city in the north of Australia.

【注意，我们用到了在句型精讲中说的，同位语来解释Darwin的位置】

Darwin这个名字听上去很熟吧？

Does the name Darwin ring a bell ?

【复习一下，我们在第二课中学过的表达ring a bell听上去熟悉】

这个城市的名字是以著名生物学家Charles Darwin而得名。【他曾到这考察】

The city was named after Charles Darwin, a well-known biologist.

【name A after B用B给A命名】

很快他就会从Darwin飞到另外一个地方叫作Perth.

He will soon fly from Darwin to Perth.

Perth在哪呢？它是澳洲西部的一个大城市。

And where is Perth? It is another large city in the west of Australia.

Tim对这次旅行非常感到非常兴奋，因为他从来没有出过国。

Tim is very excited about this trip. Because he has never been abroad before.
