Question

Mr Evans works in Sydney．Last week he had a two-week holiday，but he didn’t know where to go．He said to his friend Robert．“I hate the hot weather here，but I can’t think of a cool place in Australia．Where shall I take my holiday？”

“That’s easy，”said Robert．“You can go to Moscow．Snow and ice are covering the ground there now．”
