  11. Model Answer Writing I would like to visit Australia for many reasons. First, because it is the only country that is also a continent. I think that is very interesting. Second, because of the species of animals they have. There are emus, kangaroos, koalas and platypuses. Emus are similar to ostriches. They can’t fly, but they are good swimmers. Also, they can run up to 50km per hour. Kangaroos and koalas are marsupials. They both have pouches where they keep their young. Platypuses are strange-looking mammals that lay eggs. They have a duck-like bill. They also have a wide, flat tail and webbed feet. Third, because of their beautiful beaches. I could go swimming or build a sandcastle. I could also go surfing or just relax and read. I think Australia would be a great place to visit. I hope that one day I can go there.
