Question

【題目】 Going to the beach at the weekend in Australia is a very popular activity, just as much as going to a shopping centre or doing a sport. The Australian Beach Culture is similar to that in California and the Mediterranean.

Australians live by the sea, so it makes it very convenient for them to spend the weekend on the beach. Besides some places that can have winter weather, most of Australia is sunny throughout the whole year. This also provides a good chance for the development of the Australian Beach Culture.

However, when you go to the beach, there are some things you should consider. You should know that because the ozone layer (臭氧層) above some parts of Australia is thin, there is a great danger from the sunlight. The sun here is very strong and it burns the skin really fast. Australia has one of the highest rates(比率) of skin cancer in the world. So if you go to the beach, take hats and sunglasses.

Besides this, there are some other things that you should know. Sometimes the sea seems to be very peaceful, but the currents(水流) in the water can be very strong. So, if you don't know very much about the sea, you should swim only in the safe area between the flags at the beach. By the way, people are not allowed to sell anything on the beach without an official permission (官方許可證).
