Hey,

today we corrected your listening test from last time about the Aborigines and the conditions of living.
Here is what we said in English:

Part 1: The creation of the world in Australia.
At the dawn of time, the legend says the animal spirits created the land and the first aboriginal people.

Part 2: The conditions of living in the "Outback".
The Aborigines live in the desert. They don't have water, food, houses, roads, ... They adapt to nature but nature doesn't adapt to them.
The conditions of living of harsh / severe / unforgiving. Normally a desert is uninhabitable.

Farenheit / Celsius -> Freezing = 0°C = 32°F
                             100°F -> 38°C

Part 3: The place of Nature for the Aborigines.
Nature is like a religion. It is holy and sacred. It is their cathedral.

Hi guys,

today I read a story out loud to you as if you were my little brother or sister.
You had to try and find a good title for it and explain it again with your own words.

A long time ago, the sun was very hot and the koala was weak because of the sun.
The lizard decided to protect his friend. He transformed into a tree.
This is how trees were created.
