Robert is nine years old and Joanna is seven. They live at Mount Ebeneezer. Their father has a big property. In Australia they call a farm a property.
罗伯特九岁，乔安娜七岁。他们住在埃比内泽山。他们的父亲有一处大型地产。在澳大利亚，他们称农场为地产。
Robert and Joanna like school very much. At school they can talk to their friends but Robert and Joanna cannot see their friends. They live 100, perhaps 300, miles away and like Robert and Joanna, they all go to school by radio.
罗伯特和乔安娜非常喜欢上学。在学校里，他们可以和朋友聊天，但罗伯特和乔安纳见不到他们的朋友。他们住在100英里，也许300英里之外，和罗伯特和乔安娜一样，他们都通过收音机上学。
Mount Ebeneezer is in the center of Australia. Not many people live in "The Centre". There are no schools with desks and blackboards and no teachers in "The Centre". School is a room at home with a two-way radio. The teacher also has a two-way radio. Every morning she calls each student on the radio. When all students answer, lessons begin…Think of your teacher 300 miles away!
埃比内泽山位于澳大利亚的中心。“中心”里住的人不多。“中心”里没有带课桌和黑板的学校，也没有老师。学校是家里的一间带双向收音机的房间。老师也有双向收音机。每天早上，她都用收音机给每个学生通话。当所有学生都应答时，开始上课……想想300英里外的老师吧！
