My article about Australia by Benji Ewalds Gurkensohn

Hello and welcome to my article about Australian Sports ,the Australian pronounciation and Australian  sights

First of all i want to talk about Australian Sports .

The most of Australian sports are footy (football) and cricket . The term Footy,however ,refers to different codes of football in different states .There is also a classic football phrase that is called : Chewie on ya boot. That means that a opposing team wants to kick a goal . They also play rugby and they have eleven teams . The finals are always held in the last week of september . They also like to go surfing .

In Australian English ,the /t/in difficulty and better is pronounced like a /r/or a t-flap . When you have to pronounciate this sound , the tongue moves back to  the back of the mouth after briefly touching its roof . The pronounciation mostly depends an the dialect oft he speaker . A different from AusE is BrE because in England some people produce a so called “glottal stop “ in their throat instead of a /t/.The t-flap can be used when a word ends with vowel ,then a/t/ and the next word starts with a vowel . A interesting fact about the Australian English pronounciation ist hat the sweater in American English pronounciation is called „Jumper“ in Australia . One of the most famous sights is the Great Barrier Reef . Its the the only living thing that you can see from space with the naked eye . The Great Barrier Reef is more than 2000 kilometers long and has more than 1500 species of fish, 200 species of birds and 400 species of corals . Dolphins ,Whales , sea snakes and saltwater crocodiles can also be found there . The Great Barrier reef is sadly in danger because of the climate change and the pollution from rivers ,farms and cities on the coast.

One thought on “My article about Australia by Benji Ewalds Gurkensohn

  1. you have done a great job with your text :
    -your introduction was interesting and told me about information which you used in your text.
    you did put a definition of an idiomatic expression in your introduction, very good!
    -you did not start a new paragraph for each new theme but that is not bad.
    you did use examples for your information almost ervery time.
    -you structured your text good but how I said before you did not use paragraphs.
    -you did not say your opinion to the theme at the end of the text

    -you used linking words, not to many but not to less too,you used good vocabulary,you did not use many adverbs,you did write your text content based and at the and you digressed a bit, you also used the present tense and you also did not use words you do not know .
    if you next time structure your text a little better it will be almost perfect.
    after reading this text i now know more about Australian sports Ausstralian English, thank you for that.
