🐍 πŸ•·οΈ πŸͺΌ You already know the dangers of Australia – venomous snakes, spiders and jellyfish. But how do Australians stay safe? Sun, water, the Outback and the beach: here you learn the most important safety rules – and you revise what we have learned this year (tenses, used to, text types, mediation).

This is your practice page. 🎯 Choose the topics where you still have difficulties and practise them on your own – so you can get better step by step. Do the tasks in any order. At the end of each page, send your results. πŸ’ͺ
