Q
When people live in a foreign country, they should follow local traditions and customs. Do you agree or not?
A
Introduction:
- immigrants in many countries are rising in number
- it is necessary for these outsiders to embrace the culture of the natives.
- In my personal view, such assimilation is completely justifiable for certain reasons.
Body:
- non-native residents should consider adopting the cultural changes for the sake of their easy immigration
+ people of a nation take pride in their own cultural features such as beliefs < which greatly influence their life
+sign showing the lack of respect for the native culture > unfriendliness or even isolation from the local community
+ To facilitate the integration process & prevent trouble > settlers conform to the standards of behaviour.
- Accept new traditions & customs > boosts mutual understanding between cultures & avoid the conflicts
+ If foreign people are willing to change themselves a little to blend in, eg:.., > the local people will definitely exhibit a very friendly attitude towards the foreigners
+ strengthened understanding and friendship < no room for discrimination or conflicts.
