Why Do They Speak English in Australia and New Zealand? Australia and New Zealand are on the opposite side of the planet to England. So what could possibly explain why most of the people in those two countries speak English? In 1768, an Englishman called James Cook set sail for the island of Tahiti with secret instructions from the British government to try to find The Great Southern Land. People claimed that they had visited it, but there was doubt whether it really existed. In 1769, Cook left the island of Tahiti in the South Pacific to set sail for New Zealand and, after 2,500 miles, he arrived at what is now the North Island. He found that people called Maoris lived there. In fact, they had
been there for about 800 years. In the years which followed, many British people came to the country and, in 1840, the Maoris agreed to become part of the British Empire. Cook sailed from New Zealand in March 1770 and, one month later, he arrived at the west coast of the island which would become known as Australia, or ‘Southern Land’ in Latin. He explored large parts of the coast before sailing back to Britain. People who the British called Aborigines had lived in the country for many years – in this case, more than 50,000 years. Just 18 years later, the British government decided to send their criminals to Australia because the prisons in Britain had too many people in them. In the next 80 years, more than 160,000 criminals were sent, becoming the main population of the country. They spoke English; therefore, the language of the country became English. Question 31.

The Maoris and the Aborigines agreed to learn English. Question 33. Why did the British government send criminals to Australia? A. To punish them more severely B. To establish a new colony C. To explore the land further D. Because British prisons were overcrowded Question 34. How did the arrival of British settlers affect the language spoken in Australia? A. It introduced multiple languages B. It led to the dominance of the English language C. It had no impact on the local languages D. It caused the Aborigines to stop speaking their language Question 35. What can we infer about the relationship between the British and the indigenous peoples of Australia and New Zealand? A. It was peaceful and cooperative B.
