aborigines+today+-+B

Today there are only a few aborigines who have not been affected by other cultures. They represent only 1 percent of the population of Australia people and is altogether 200 000 Aborigines. Few years ago they discovered in a school that the aborigines had their own language and didn’t speak English. Because of this the children had it difficult to learn English. Around 15 percent of 20 0 000 aborigines are in prison, and that is a lot of people! I think the reason why they are in jail is because they are so poor. Most of them can’t speak English, and that made it hard to get a job. And because of they don’t have a job, they don’t have any money. Many have left their traditional lifestyle. Aborigines live all over Australia and do all kinds of works, but don’t have the same opportunities as other Australians because of their English. It’s only a few of them who have kept their culture. In northwest – Australia there are still some areas where they can live just like they did thousand of years ago. They use the nature to everything, like food and food. The aborigines who don’t live in the nature don’t have anything. Before they made things like clothes, food and other stuff by their own hands and now it is not an opportunity. Some think that the aborigines are the most intelligent people in the world. They can find water in the middle of the dessert and food where no one else can find it. But the Europeans have pushed them down again and again.
