hey, here is what I thought of it

3. Finding informations on Australia is easy. -> about
hmmm isn't information always singular? no "s" I think

4. Bill is on holiday but he'll be back [u]until[/[u] next week. -> by
I would just have dropped the "until" no need to add the "by" to me

everything else looks just fine to me

i thought they want to express that it's possible that he'll come back before next week; when i say " he will come back next week", it's clear that he won't come earlier; i think, there is a difference...?!

anyway, thank you again, you remind me that i should really repeat the english grammar...
