Swimming at the beach or in a backyard pool are well-known Australian summer activities. But while it is usually a fun time of year, there is a serious side to summer that you might not know about.
1.There are lots of trees and dry grass in remote areas that can easily catch fire. Even throwing a burning cigarette out of a car window can cause a lot of damage. 2.
In February, there were more than 80 different bushfires burning at the same time in New South Wales, a southeastern state of Australia. The Guardian newspaper reported that 42 homes were burned to the ground because of these fires. 3.They are huge farms. Many Australian properties(房产)are larger than 1,000 square kilometers, while the biggest is more than 20,000 square kilometers—even larger than Beijing.
Every household prepares for bushfire season and protects their property. But sometimes the fires are too big and people have to move to safety.
4. It was so hot in February that thousands of bats died from the heat. People can get sick if they stay outside for too long or don’t drink enough water. The heat can also cause power problems for homes and businesses.
5.But it is worth remembering that the heat can cause lots of problems, too.
A. The Australian summer is enjoyable.
B. The hot weather also causes other problems.
C. These homes are not like Chinese ones.
D. Thanks to climate change, this year’s situation is even worse.
E. That is why summer is also known as ‘bushfire season” in Australia.
F. The dry season lasts about six months, usually between April and October.
G. The extreme heat, which can go above 40°C in some cities, is very dangerous.
When a consumer finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the guarantee, or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, his action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, taking it as true that he or she has a just right.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they can’t get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question. If this can’t be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”.
The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumer’s rights.

A. complain personally to the manager in a loud way
