In my past life I was a kid with a very little ability to analyze and solve problems, did not have sufficient intellect, nor the necessary information to know what they were a few things.
In my childhood life I was watching a game where everyone with the same capabilities and capacity well under way. My favorite pass time was to disassemble my toys, especially those carts with a remote control and changed the imagination, and if I could consisted of.
With my family, my dad what looked like a very enojona and very bitter, because he showed me his darling little but sincere, my mom and looked at her as the guardian of the things that badly toward me and my dad Regan, she it is also a super hero who could do all things, and my brother what looked like a child very restless, very playful and very naughty, it was something with very little since the age difference is great and I could not play my Thus, because he was a little more destructive and somewhat annoying.
In school I learned many things over by the knowledge that my teachers have learned a very effective method of learning classes with an understanding of what it said or pay close attention to classes.

AUSTRALIA
INTRODUCTION
The official name of Australia is Commonwealth of Australia is a country located in the southern hemisphere, which occupies the entire mainland from Oceania, apart from several islands in the Pacific Ocean, Indian and Antarctica. On behalf of Australia has a dual etymology. On the one hand derives from the Latin Australis, which means the south: legends of an "unknown southern land" (terra australis incognita) dating back to Roman times were common in medieval geography, but were not based on any certain knowledge.
Meaning of the flag On the one hand, contains the Union flag as a sign of British colonization. Just below, a 7-pointed star representing 7 states that makes up the country. A right hand, five stars representing the constellation of the Southern Cross.
Geography
The area of 7,686,850 square kilometers of Australia is in the Indo Australian plate. Surrounded by the Indian Ocean, Pacific and Antarctica Ice, is separated from Asia by the Timor and Arafura Seas. Australia has a coastline of 25,760 km and claimed a broad exclusive economic zone of 8,148,250 square kilometers. This exclusive economic zone does not include the Australian Antarctic Territory.
The Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef in the world, is located a short distance from the northeast coast and stretches over 2,000 kilometers. The world's largest monolith, Mount Augustus, is located in Western Australia. With 2,228 m above sea level, Mount Kosciuszko in the Cordillera Divisoria is the highest mountain in mainland Australia.
A huge part of the country is desert or semi-arid. Australia is the driest inhabited country and flat, and that has less fertile soils. Only in the southeast and southwest there is a temperate climate. The northern part of the country, with a tropical climate, has a vegetation consists mainly of rainy jungles, forests, prairies, mangrove forests and deserts. The climate is heavily influenced by low pressure systems that produce seasonal tropical cyclones in the north and by sea currents.
States and territories Australia is divided into six states, two territories and other territories under mainland. The states are New South Wales (NSW), Queensland (QLD), South Australia (SA), Tasmania (TAS), Victoria (VIC) and Western Australia (WA). The two mainland territories are the Northern Territory (NT) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Each state and territory has its own legislature (unicameral in the case of the Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory and Queensland, and bicameral in the remaining states). Australia also has the following external territories inhabited: Norfolk Island, Christmas Island and Coco´s (Keeling) and territories outside of uninhabited islands Ashmore and Cartier Islands Coral Sea, Heard Island and McDonald Islands and Australian Antarctic Territory.
Flora and Fauna
While much of Australia is desert or semi-arid, there exists a great diversity of habitats, from alpine heath to rainy tropical jungles. Due to the great age of the continent, the low fertility of its soil, its different climates extremely variable and its long isolation from other continents, the Australian biota is unique and diverse. About 85% of flowering plants, 84% of mammals, over 45% of birds, and 90% of fish in temperate coastal areas are endemic.
Flores Most of the Australian woody plants are evergreen and are adapted to fire and drought, including many species of eucalyptus and acacia. There is a very rich variety of endemic species of vegetables that thrive even in poor soil nutrient thanks to its symbiosis with Rhizobia bacteria and fungi that make possible the mycorrhizae. Fauna
The Australian fauna is famous for the presence of marsupials and striking monotremas; Australia in the extraordinary abundance of poisonous animals, much of it lethal to humans; another feature Australian: is the continent with the greatest variety of lizards. These include various species of kangaroos, koala, Wombats, and the Tasmanian devil (in the late 1930s) or tilacino "Tasmanian tiger" and birds such as emu, cucaburras, the bird lira or the cockatoo.
CULTURE
Since 1788, the primary basis of Australian culture has been Anglo-Celtic, although distinctive Australian features soon arose from the country's unique environment and the pre-existing indigenous culture. Over the past 50 years, Australian culture has been strongly influenced by American popular culture (particularly television and cinema), large-scale immigration from non-English-speaking countries and Australia's Asian neighbours. The vigor and originality of the arts in Australia—literature, cinema, opera, music, painting, theatre, dance, and crafts—have achieved international recognition. Australian visual arts have a long history, starting with the cave and bark paintings of its indigenous peoples.
Sport plays an important part in Australian culture, assisted by a climate that favours outdoor activities; 23.5% Australians over the age of 15 regularly participate in organized sporting activities. At an international level, Australia has strong teams in cricket, field hockey, netball, rugby league, and rugby union, and it performs well in cycling, rowing, and swimming. Nationally, other popular sports include Australian Rules football, horse racing, soccer, and motor racing.
Government
The Commonwealth of Australia is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system of government. Queen Elizabeth II is currently the head of the Australian State and uses the formal title of Queen of Australia, playing a different role to that exercised in other realms of the Commonwealth. She is nominally represented by Governor-General at the federal level and by the governor of each state. Although the Constitution provides extensive executive powers to the Governor General, the implementation of the same is usually carried out only with the advice of the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. There are three branches of government in Australia:
- Legislature: Parliament of Australia, including the Queen, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Queen is represented by the Governor General, who in practice exercises constitutional power only with the approval of the Prime Minister.
-The executive: the Federal Executive Council (the Governor General in accordance with the Executive Councilors). In practice, the councilors are the Prime Minister and Ministers of State.
- Judiciary: The Supreme Court of Australia and other federal courts.
Economy Australia has a mixed economy prosperous West, with a per capita income slightly higher than the UK, Germany and France, in terms of purchasing power parity. The nation is in third place in the human development index conducted in 2005 by the United Nations, being surpassed only by Norway and Iceland; occupies sixth place in the quality of life index of The Economist magazine (2005). In recent years, the Australian economy has withstood the global economic downturn, which becomes visible in the growth of its domestic economy and maintaining business and consumption.
Demographers Most of the approximately 21 million Australians are descendants of immigrants who arrived in the country during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, mainly from Britain and Ireland. Australia's population has quadrupled since the end of World War I, encouraged by an ambitious programmed of immigration. In 2001, the five largest groups making up 23.1% of Australians were born abroad originating in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Italy, Vietnam and China. After the abolition of the policy of the White Australia in 1973, numerous government initiatives promoted ethnic harmony based on a multicultural policy.
Gastronomy Historically Gastronomy Australia is based on British cuisine because the first European settlers were mostly British. That is why there are plenty of cakes (feet), cuts of meat roasts, steaks on the grill, chicken and other meat usually accompanied by vegetables (the combination is called on the continent as "meat and three veg") and such as potatoes, beans, beans, and carrots (often served on something cooked). The typical dish of Australia is the ultimate meat pie. This will also have the delicious Cabanossi which are a kind of sausage or sausage similar to salami. Other dishes common in the diet of Australians are cooked with meat of exotic animals such as crocodile, kangaroo or buffalo.

Ideas that are possible in the composition a little difficult but not impossible, it is necessary for the cooperation of everyone.
To change the world and live better.
