　　Step Ⅰ Pre-reading
　　T: I told you to google for information about PNG. Some questions for you. Who knows what PNG stands for?
　　Sa: PNG stands for Papua New Guinea.
　　T: Where is it located?
　　Sb: It is located south of the equator, 160km north of Australia.
　　T: Who can say something about its history?
　　Sc: 30,000 years ago it was settled by its first settlers. Portuguese explorers came to PNG in 1510s. When World War II brot, parts of the country were occupied by the Japanese. Papua New Guinea became independent in 1975 but retains strong ties to Australia.
　　Sd: But I got information about it like this: The first settlers to Papua New Guinea migrated from Southeast Asia probably at least 40,000 years ago during the ice age.

The two territories increasingly became known as Papua New Guinea, and the native people came to be called Papua New Guineans. The administration continued its efforts to further education and to develop the economy. In order to prepare the territories for eventual autonomy and independence, the Australians sought to encourage democratic institutions. In 1951 a countrywide legislative council was created; it gave way in 1964 to a House of Assembly. On December 1, 1973, Papua and New Guinea became self-governing as Papua New Guinea. The country became fully independent on September 6, 1975.
