3. Read the text and mark the sentences True (T) or False (F). One of my greatest dreams is to go to Australia. I would like to travel there for various reasons. One of them is because it looks so different from our old chap, Europe. It is such a vast land with deadly deserts to lakes and lush seashore. And it has the world’s most dangerous wildlife. Apart from sharks, there are gigantic jellyfish which can severely burn you with their sting, poisonous snakes, and deadly spiders like a black widow. Even the cutest animals like pandas and kangaroos can hurt you with their claws. But it is also the land of great culture and history with the Ayer’s Rock and Aborigines at the heart of it. It is essential to remember that in the late 18th century, Australia was the land of outcasts where convicts were sent to goals. It seems no country has easy and peaceful history but that makes it even more attractive.
