Sydney

Sydney is a modern city with a long history. The region's first people lived along

the harbor's bank for thousands of years. With lots of museums, theaters and cinemas,

there is always something to see and do. The beautiful Bondi Beach is a must-see

when visiting Sydney. Outdoor activities play a large role in Australian culture. There

are a number of national parks for visitors as well as some interesting historical sites.

Great Barrier Reef is a great experience; every year around two million visitors enjoy

all that this natural wonder offers. Diving is the best way to experience the joys of the

rich underwater world, while boat trips, and even

helicopter rides offer another view of the reef

Occupied by Aboriginal people for over 40, 000 years, Kakadu National Park has

over five thousand ancient rock art sites which are fascinating to visit. The park is

The aim to study abroad is a simple one: visit another country, experience

another culture. One popular location to study abroad is India. Junior Barton studied

abroad in New Delhi during the spring of 2015 as part of the IES abroad program.

“This program was very good at connecting us to Delhi life and teaching us how

to be independent yet safe within the huge crowded city, she said about the passim

Because the IES program in New Delhi does not offer classes in Barton's major,

public health, she instead decided to take classes that absorbed herself in Indian

culture.

She noticed that one of her favorite classes was Classic Kathak- one form of

Indian classical dance. She also wanted to take advantage of the class assignments to

sink in Indian culture.

Regarding the impact that learning Kathak had on her as a dancer and as a

person, Barton said that"it definitely opened her to new ideas and techniques to dance,

to give expression with the face and the fine symbols, for example a flower, that our

hands can make”.

Concerning daily life, Barton finds that there were quite a few differences in

expected behavior. For one, she had to speak in Hindi whenever she went out"to be

taken seriously and not be taken in like a foreigner".

She also admitted that she "was stared at a lot by men and women because she

stood out. She needed a lot of patience and inner strength to get over the staring every

time she stepped outside”.

For her, studying in India was an experience that changed her as a person. “1

became more patient with people and circumstances. I became more tolerant(宽容的)

and unable to be affected by things I can't control.”

4.Why was Barton interested in dancing classes?

A. Dancing was her major. B. She hoped to star in a film in India.

C. She wanted to become a dancing actress. D. She expected to experience

Indian culture.

study.

C. She can control her feelings well. D. She wanted to learn more dances.

7. What is the text mainly about?

culture
