1 | What does migration bring ? Well personally I think it 's a great thing . It has brought about a_lot of changes in my country , but many of them , for me at_least are real benefits . |
2 | I know it 's a_bit of a stereotype that English food is n't very good , but nowadays the UK is one of the best places to eat out and you get a huge diversity and range of food to choose from . |
3 | Even in quite small cities these days you can still usually find a good Chinese restaurant , and Indian , Italian and probably a Thai or even Japanese restaurant . I think that 's great . |
4 | I also like that the school that my kids go to has kids from a huge range of different cultures and religious backgrounds . |
5 | I think it 's great that all these kids go through school together learning about and accepting each other 's culture and differences . |
6 | The world is a very diverse place and with the increase of globalisation I want my kids to be able to understand and accept other cultures and work alongside people from other countries . I think it 's really important for their future and to keep them open_minded . |
7 | One of the other things I like is the way the British high street in many towns has been transformed . |
8 | Nowadays you can go shopping and find stuff from all over the world . |
9 | I live in Manchester and I can go and buy a Bollywood movie or a sari from a shop just round the corner . |
10 | I think that 's terrific when I walk out in the street and see people wearing colourful clothes from_all_round the world . |
11 | We British can be pretty conservative , so it 's nice to have a change from the grey . |
12 | Now I do n't need to travel . |
13 | It 's like the world is coming to me . |
14 | The other important thing for the country 's economy is that a_lot of the people coming here are young . When I go to some parts of the UK where there is n't much immigration , I realise how our population is aging . We have good health care and pensions which means we have a_lot more healthy older people who are retired , and that 's great , but we also need more young people who are working and paying into the system still to help support it and keep our economy going . |
15 | I can 't understand it when I hear people complaining about immigrants coming here and taking away “ our ” jobs . A_lot of the immigrants are young people who come to the UK with valuable skills and really make a contribution to our society and our economy and I for one think that is great . |
