Write an article about Andrew

Andrew is a kind and good man, who adopted two children in Thailand named Nut and Num. He brought them back to Thailand after the adoption, so they wouldn't forget their homeland. In his own opinion, he thinks that Sydney is better than Bangkok for the kids to live in, because in Sydney there are more parks, not so much traffic and etc.

He talked about the climate in Thailand, where there is no winter, because the lowest temperature is 22*, so we may say that it's only 3 seasons. That is a cool season, the temperature is around 22*--30*, a hot season, 26*--34*, and the wet season only.

He is also concerned about the climate in Auatralia. It used to be draught, but now it has a big change, due to some people's daily actions. If people don't change their habit, in the future it may be drier and hotter. Water is also a big problem, because a lot of water was wasted. It's a global warning that we should think about it. Now in Sydney many people get hayfever from the flowers and trees, and Australia is one of the driest places in the world.
