Q2) Rewrite the following paragraph to make it academic and scientific, without changing the original meaning. Use the space given. (20 marks) I want to argue that all children in Australia have the right to be educated in their mother tongue. I expect that many children in the past spent months or years in school but did not understand the lessons. I am convinced that many migrant children are failing in our education system because we do not have bilingual education programmes. If we look at the U.N. report on language and education, we can discover that children who become literate in their own language have the greatest chance of educational success. People have been discussing the latest figures on university entrance recently and you can tell that migrant children do less well than “Anglo” children at present. I suspect that this is because they have difficulty with English and I would claim that the government has done too little to help these children. Surely the best way to achieve this in Australia is for the State governments to set up bilingual education programmes for all migrant children. I would suggest that this is the number one important issue for multicultural Australia.

Solution

The proposition being advanced in this discourse is that every child in Australia is entitled to receive education in their native language. Historical evidence suggests that numerous children may have spent considerable time in educational institutions without comprehending the content of their lessons. It is posited that the lack of bilingual education programmes is a significant factor contributing to the underperformance of migrant children within the Australian education system. A United Nations report on language and education substantiates this claim, indicating that literacy in one's native language significantly enhances the likelihood of academic success. Recent discussions surrounding university entrance statistics reveal a disparity in performance between migrant and "Anglo" children. It is hypothesized that this discrepancy is primarily due to language barriers, and it is contended that the government's efforts to address this issue have been insufficient. The optimal solution, it is proposed, would be for State governments in Australia to implement bilingual education programmes for all migrant children. This is posited as the most critical issue facing multicultural Australia.
