          3                     people should acquire the
          necessary language skills before being allowed to settle
          permanently in a country. I am broadly in agreement
                                          www.english0905.com
          with this point of view  4                learning
          the language of the country is the key to integrating
          and showing respect for the local culture. However,
          generally speaking it is diffi cult to reach a level of
          language profi ciency until you have spent some time in
          the country itself,  5                immigrants
          should be provided with language lessons during the
          early years of their stay.


          6                     everyone gains from living in a
          diverse culture.  7                 , in my country
          in recent years people have become much more open
          to foreign fi lms and literature, while varied foreign
          cuisine has become a common part of people’s lives.
          Undoubtedly,  8                   people’s minds
          open to new ways of seeing the world and new tastes,
          9                     enrich their lives.


          10                    it is co-operation that makes
          integration successful, so local people should welcome
          immigrants from outside for the diversity they bring
          while the immigrants themselves should make every
          effort to integrate into the community.
