Share your facts with others in your class.

40. 3 Discuss these questions below with others
in the class.
1 What kind of people do you think make
Australia their home?

41. People chose to settle in Australia might be : 1) want a better life than they had at home, a change of lifestyle or a challenge; ) attracted by the climate, the beauty of the country or the opportunity to improve the situation that they had in their original country; ) forced to leave their country for some reason and must find somewhere else to live.
Text 2 is most relevant to this question. Some of the reasons that people chose to settle in Australia might be because they want a better life than they had at home or they want a change of lifestyle or a challenge. Others may come because they are attracted by the climate, the beauty of the ountry or the opportunity to improve the situation that they had in their original country. Some come because they have been forced to leave their country for some reason and must find somewhere else to live.) People who go to a new country to start again are likely to be courageous, curious and strong minded, and they enjoy challenges, since there might be tremendous hardships. They are probably confident of their abilities and open to new ideas and ways of doing things.

42. So we have a reason to believe that people who go to a new country to start again are likely to be courageous, curious and strong minded, and they enjoy challenges, since there might be tremendous hardships. They are probably confident of their abilities and open to new ideas and ways of doing things.

43. 2. Each year large numbers of people became Australian citizens
2. Each year large numbers of people became Australian citizens. Why do you think they choose to become citizens?
They choose to become Australian citizens in order to feel truly a part of their new country, to feel secure in their new country and know they cannot be made to leave, or to gain an Australia passport and enjoy the rights of a citizen. Only Australian citizens can vote so some may take a greater part in political life of the country.
Choosing to become citizens is different from moving to Australia

44. 3. When do you think traveling by train across Australia would be appropriate and when do you think traveling by plane would be most suitable?
Obliviously, if you have to get to your destination quickly, you would travel by plane. It is also cheaper to travel by plane as these long distance train is luxurious and therefore expensive. You might travel by train for the experience or to view the scenery on your journey. You might travel by train because you are frightened of flying.

45. 4. In what part of Australia do you think most agriculture takes place
4. In what part of Australia do you think most agriculture takes place? Give reasons.
(Text 1 is most relevant for this question.) As you need water to grow things, farming is most suitable in the wetter, coastal areas of the country.

46. 5. Why do you think the population of Australia is so small when it is such a large country?
Part of the reason is that much of the centre of Australia is uninhabitable desert. Another reason is that the Aboriginal population was fairly stable for thousands of years and others settled in the country just over two hundred years ago. A third reason is that the government has strict quotas on how many people can immigrate to the country.
