As the years go by,the Italian community has found its place in Australia.One of the main reasons is the birth of a second generation (代).The children of migrants (移民) have grown up as Australians.

Lucy's family is an example.

Lucy's parents came from Italy in the 1950s.Lucy was born in Sydney soon after her parents arrived in Australia.Lucy's parents were both workers.They spoke Italian at home.When Lucy went to school she had to learn English.Her mum and dad could speak just a little English.At home it was always Italian.When she got a bit older,her mum and dad would ask her to help them out when they didn't understand something in English.

When she was growing up,her parents didn't allow her to do as much as her Australian friends.Her friends didn't understand why she couldn't go out and do things with them,or why she always did what her parents wanted!Lucy's parents spent a lot of time with other Italians,mainly because it was much easier for them to communicate in Italian.Because of this,she spent more time with kids from Italian background.

Things have changed since Lucy had children of her own.Lucy is not as strict as her parents were,so her own kids have more freedom (自由).They can move between the different cultures and feel easier in both cultures.They haven't had so many problems about their identities (身份)•They see themselves as Australians with an Italian background and they‘re proud of their traditions.
