5 1 A C sees ‘hiring immigrants and managing a
diverse workforce’ as ‘good practices’ that help
to ‘ensure that the city prospers’; ‘labour market
integration’ is related to ‘the success of local
businesses across all sectors of the population’.

an integrated immigrant work force: ‘“We are
rich and happy because we have so many

immigrants” … The competition “Successful
integration is no coincidence” … their economic
and strategic significance … policies that focus
on skilled labour … upon whom to place our
hopes for future prosperity’.

CD 2 Track 25
Examiner: Laura, what do you think are the benefits of a
multicultural society?
Laura: I think it encourages understanding of other
cultures and tolerance towards them and towards other
ways of life, other religions perhaps, and that can be
very educational. I think it can open up people’s minds
to experiences that they might not be able to have
otherwise.
Examiner: And Daniel, do you agree with Laura?
Daniel: Yes, and also I personally think it can make society
itself richer by having diversity within it and lots of
people from different backgrounds, with different
outlooks, different ways of doing things and different
cultural experiences.
Examiner: Laura, should people who go to live in another
country adopt the culture of the country where they go
to live?
Laura: That’s a contentious issue! Not necessarily. It’s
possible for different cultures to live side by side and
I think with most cultures there’s a certain overlap of
similarity and I think people should be allowed to have
some of the elements of their own culture as long as
they’re not detrimental to the good of the majority.
Examiner: Daniel, what do you think?
Daniel: Well, I’d go along with that. I think it’s a question
of sensitivity. It’s unreasonable for immigrants to give
up all aspects of their culture, but they do need to be
sensitive towards the culture and the people in the
country where they’re choosing to live.
