a new place in cases of for example war or ecological disasters.

The topic presented is highly debatable. However, I strongly believe that if you decide to
move to a new country, you have to be prepared to adjust to the customs you arrive at. To
be able to fit in and be treated equally to the natives, one should gain knowledge of the
country`s rules of behavior and internalize many of the rules and norms.

On the other hand, I certainly share the point of view that it is important not to forget
about your own background when moving to a new country. In many of today`s
multicultural societies people learn customs from each other, and everyone might benefit
from increased knowledge about different customs. To make daily life go by smoother
however, I think adapting to national customs is a necessity for immigrants. Some
sacrifices must be made to avoid conflicts between natives and newcomers, and the
arriving crowd should be the ones to change more. As my mother used to say; when you
are in my house, you live by my rules. As far as I am concerned, this should count for
moving abroad as well.

From what I have been discussing above, there is no doubt where my position is
regarding the statement put forward. Although the statement involves both pros and cons,
my conclusion becomes that adaptation to customs when arriving to a new country is a
duty immigrants should take seriously.

applies to the topic given above. My answer to this question is we need to keep our own

Essay 554 Topic 109 Follow the customs of the new country vs. keep one`s own
customs

Moving to a new country that possesses distinctive culture and customs, people will have
different attitude towards the new things. As far as I am concerned, I would like to follow
the new customs, because it is valuable experience in my life to live with them
harmoniously.

Admittedly, following a new customs is the best approach to the different culture.
Humankind cultures bearing long history are various, and every one has its own
advantage and advances. It is a good chance for people to learn some special, but useful
knowledge. For a simple instance, attending the Christmas celebration in West Country,
we can learn something relates with their religion and their life styles.

Emotionally, it will help us to communicate with the people in the new country.
Following the new customs, expresses that I appreciate and respect their culture. When
we can share the same kind of way to live and act, they want to talk with you and tend to
work with you together. It is actually help newer to accommodate to the new
environments.

What is more, different countries have distinctive climates and geography, which give
rise to some particularly customs. The typical example is that people, who live in humid
climate, preferring pepper, is a sort of spontaneous phenomenon, because pepper is
helpful to defend humidity. When you tend to accept this kind of custom, it will benefit
your living quality in the new place.

for people to adapt to an indifferent condition. Though some people tend to keep their

things. To sum up, it is or rests up on an individual or a group of people on how to move
on with their life and what conditions must be accepted while moving to a new country.
One will always look for the benefits in life, and if by adopting a new custom of a
country will bring some benefits or advantages in life then he will adopt it. I would prefer
to keep our own customs and traditions, because these traditions are linked with our
history and historical moments so we must preserve it for our next generation. Migration
to a new country will not only bring new customs in one's life also new environment and

Essay 556 Topic 109 keep or drop custom value?

When people move to another country, some of them decide to follow the customs of the
new country, but other people prefer to keep their own customs. If I were faced with this
issue, I would agree with the first one. In the following discussion, I would like to reason
and provide evidence to support my viewpoint. There are some advantages for a person,
even after he has moved to a new country, to continue to follow the customs of his
birthplace. For example, in celebrating the holidays observed in his country of origin, he
is less likely to forget such important things as his extended family and culture.

homesick. Somehow, in practicing these customs, he remains connected to the family and
friends he left behind. However, there are more advantages for a person to follow the
customs of country to which he has moved. For instance, he will feel more at home, not
to say less homesick for the country that he left behind. Moreover, following the customs
of a country-the country from where he came as well as the country where he now lives-
is a sign of respect to the wider community. It is a way of telling others that he is happy

Essay 558 Topic 110 Alone vs. with friends

There are many lovely things in our lives such as the fresh air, country beauty, love and
friends. Everyone has friends or is engaged in finding friends so that one can share
emotions with them. Thus many people like to spend most of their time with friends like
me while some others would rather stay alone.

There is no doubt we need some time for ourselves. When I am in dorm and there is no
other person I can do anything I like, I could write some secrets in my dairy, enjoy some
beautiful music without being disturbed by others or read some philosophy books quietly.
Moreover, while being alone, it is convenient and quiet to consider some problems
carefully and if I get many friends in the dorm I have no chance to do these things.

On the other hand, spending much time with friends is quite interesting. Since I am a
sociable and open person, I always feel happy and relaxed when I do things with my
good friends. We can take part in all kinds of after-school activities such as playing
volleyball, swimming or climbing. Some good ideas often come up in my mind when I
am with friends but being alone I have no this inspiration at all.
