Australia is prud f a unique histry that has been shaped by the diversity f her inhabitants. The three main elements that have been central t the creatin f Australia’s ppulatin cmpsitin are the diversity f her native ppulatin, clnizatin by the British in the past and the extensive immigratin frm diverse cultures.
Australia is hme t the wrld’s cultures and inhabitants wh can identify with mre than 270 ancestries (祖先). Frm the year 1945, the number f peple wh have immigrated t Australia frm different parts f the glbe is apprximately seven millin. The cuntry cnsiders the rich cultural diversity as its main strength which embdies its natinal identity.
In 1975, there was the racial discriminatin (歧视) act, which meant that discriminatin in the cuntry was against the law. Later in 1995, the act was extended t ensure that any acts f racial hatred (仇恨) were against the law.

On a range f measures, Australia is a multicultural success stry. On educatinal attainment, studies shw that children f immigrants in Australia get better average results than children f native-brn Australians.

The success in educatinal perfrmance is mirrred in the brader ecnmy f Australia as it attracts a significant prprtin f skilled migrants annually wh have a high labur market participatin rate. In the year between 2016-2017, skilled migrants accunted fr 67.3 percent f the ttal immigratin prgram utcme that year. The net effect f a multiculturalism plicy fr Australia has been a brain gain fr Australia and this is expected t cntinue grwing.

Australia is prud f a unique histry that has been shaped by the diversity f her inhabitants. The three main elements that have been central t the creatin f Australia’s ppulatin cmpsitin are the diversity f her native ppulatin, clnizatin by the British in the past and the extensive immigratin frm diverse cultures.
Australia is hme t the wrld’s cultures and inhabitants wh can identify with mre than 270 ancestries (祖先). Frm the year 1945, the number f peple wh have immigrated t Australia frm different parts f the glbe is apprximately seven millin. The cuntry cnsiders the rich cultural diversity as its main strength which embdies its natinal identity.
In 1975, there was the racial discriminatin (歧视) act, which meant that discriminatin in the cuntry was against the law. Later in 1995, the act was extended t ensure that any acts f racial hatred (仇恨) were against the law. T date, the act has been used in ensuring that Australia sends a strng message n the cllective cmmitment t prmting racial equality and the significance f fairness fr all.
On a range f measures, Australia is a multicultural success stry. On educatinal attainment, studies shw that children f immigrants in Australia get better average results than children f native-brn Australians. This is significant because accrding t research cnducted by the OECD, the successful integratin f immigrant students is an imprtant indicatr f a cuntry’s success in its educatin system and equity and brader scially cmbinative plicies.
The success in educatinal perfrmance is mirrred in the brader ecnmy f Australia as it attracts a significant prprtin f skilled migrants annually wh have a high labur market participatin rate. In the year between 2016-2017, skilled migrants accunted fr 67.3 percent f the ttal immigratin prgram utcme that year. The net effect f a multiculturalism plicy fr Australia has been a brain gain fr Australia and this is expected t cntinue grwing.

C. The character f Australians.D. The ppulatin structure f Australia.
28.What des the underlined wrd “embdies” in paragraph 2 mean?
