In the eighteen century,
there were
a lot of problems in England.
There was
a lot of poverty.
Living conditions
were
awful.
Wages
were
low. People
didn't have
enough money to buy
food.
As a result, people
struggled[d]
as they could.
They
had
to steal to survive because they
were starving.
That is why they
committed[id]
small crimes.
At that time, the government
was
strict.
Judges
kept
sending people to prison.
That is how prisons rapidly
became
over-crowded.
Consequently politicians
had
to find a new solution.
They
decided[id]
to send their convicts
to Australia.
