Australia is not an old country. Many years past, the people in Australia become a nation. Then in 1901, the Commonwealth of Australia was found. Australia became a country.
But before the white came to this land, Aboriginals have lived there more than 42,000 years. When the white
came to Australia, Aboriginals' painful memory began. In early Australia, Aboriginals were very misery. Their life was changed when the white came. The white brought death, illness. The Aboriginal were ruled by the white, having no right. And the white want to break the Aboriginal's own life. The white want to cut the Aboriginals' culture and let them become white. Then Aboriginal will become white, and they will lose their culture. Aboriginal will disappear from the earth. We
can know this from the film named “Rabbit Proof Fence”. Now the plan is stopped, Aboriginals can live their life. Until 1967, Australia people voted to pass a law, which protects Aboriginal. From that time on, Aboriginal have their right.

该篇读写任务所给文章介绍了澳大利亚政府对本国土著居民先后不同的态度。在概括时要包含以下要点：In early Australia, Aboriginals were very misery. Their life is changed when the white came. / Now the plan is stopped, Aboriginals can live their life. Until 1967, Australia people voted pass the law, which protects Aboriginals. From that time on, Aboriginals have their right.
写作要点要讨论“怎么看待不同的历史、文化”问题，属于评论性文字和结论性的观点，故用一般现在时或一般将来时态。对于要点(1)“不同的历史文化的存在是非常必要的”和要点(2)“对不同历史文化的保护，是对人类社会历史的承认”，都属于说明性的问题，我们除了要陈述这两层意思之外，还要用一定篇幅来谈不同的历史文化存在的必要性，比如不同的文化让我们的生活丰富多彩等，这样才不会让 我们的论点抽象、空洞，内容干瘪。要点(3)“作为学生，我们应该做些什么？”是对“保护历史文化”而言，在这个要求层面下，我们可以从增强保护历史文化的意识以及积极响应一些保护历史文化的措施进行阐述。
We Should Treat the History in a Fair Way
In the passage, we know that the white destroyed the history of the Aboriginals, which caused a serious result. And later the Australian does their best to protect this oldest human culture.
I agree with the view that the Australian people have taken action to protect the history of the Aboriginals. All the cultures are the wealth which our ancestors left to us. Different cultures and histories make a wonderful world,
which can lead us to a happy life. So it is necessary for them to exist in our world. Every one of us has the responsibilities to protect them，for to protect them is to take humans' history seriously.
As students, we should have the awareness of protecting the cultures of our nation. And we should do everything to help the government with the protection of the culture.

China is a multiethnic nation, with 5,000 years of history and a splendid ancient civilization. This has endowed the country with extremely rich cultural heritage.
But, with changes in people's work habits and lifestyles, many traditional and folk cultures are on the verge of extinction.
To protect such intangible cultural heritage, so that communities and groups have a sense of identity and continuity, the country has made a lot of efforts in recent years, including making laws in this regard.
At the ongoing annual session of the National People's Congress, some deputies are discussing ways to better protect the treasures of our nation.

One possible version：
Protect Traditional Chinese Culture
The passage tells us traditional Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the developing society and changing lifestyle. But to our delight, China is nationwide sparing no effort to protect it.
The protection of national and folk culture is of
great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧), a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.
In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society's performance.
Besides, we should draw more people's attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support we can get from the public.
In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture. Part 2 Of 2 9. turn on
