People chose to settle in Australia might be :

want a better life than they had at home, a change of lifestyle or a challenge;

2) are attracted to the climate, the beauty of the country or the opportunity to improve the situation that they had in their original country;

3) have been forced to leave their country for some reason and must find somewhere else to live.

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. 2. Each year large numbers of people become 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 Australian passport and enjoy the rights of a citizen. Only Australian citizens can vote so some may take a greater part in the political life of the country.
