We immigrated here 3 years ago with the student visa, my partner was studying, but unfortunately because of the restriction of the visa for me as a follower, I couldn’t. I want to study master in Teaching when we get the permanent visa.

    The daughter of the chief was beautiful with long gorgeous red like a bowl of cherries. Even though she was so pretty she was also hard headed as the elderly would say or very disobedient. She was told not to stick her head out the top of the mountains, because the wind was very strong and it was extremely dangerous. From the top you could see the ocean so curiously she climbed to the top, and the wind grabbed her by her long red hair and took her away. When landing among the fir trees she was founded by a grizzly bear.…

    The rumors are true about us, we eat dogs. Obviously not in America, but my family in the Philippines do. I grew up with my grandparents in the same house as my parents because in the Philippines the eldest son takes the grandparents in when they can no longer live by themselves. I always knew that I was not fully American when my American friends didn’t understand they had to take their shoes off at the door or why there was left-overs in a cookie container. We also keep every grocery bag for our trashcans, and keep every plastic utensil we use and just rewash them.…

    It is argued that immigrants should have to assimilate to the culture of the new country they are migrating to rather than not assimilating and going about their daily lives the way they normally do. However, not very many people discuss the ways in which immigrants can learn how to assimilate and what assimilating in entails. Learning the language of the new country is just one step in integrating into that country, along with becoming a citizen and the steps that come with it, and getting any documents you may need for that country. Along with German, Spanish, Italian, French, and Dutch, English is one of the easiest languages to learn.…

Due to new views on immigration, stricter social security laws, and racist presidential candidates, the life of an immigrant is not as it may seem.…

    My family is an open-minded one; I was raised to have respect for people of all backgrounds. Growing up in this country, I realize that those like myself tend to (unless otherwise instilled in them by environmental factors such as friends and family) be accustomed to a multitude of different types of people. As a second-generation immigrant and having spent a couple of years overseas, I understand to what degree acceptance and tolerance are issues in the minds and attitudes of people. Initially, as a little kid, I was exposed to the attitudes of those around me.…

    A good practise while learning a foreign language is the reflection. One has to think critically what are his/her own strengths and weaknesses in order to be able to improve and reach his/her objectives. The aim of this review is precisely this – I will expose the key factors of my English learning, then I will indicate the ways that I find most and less useful to learn a language, next I will list my strong points and my weak spots and finally I will give some ideas to ameliorate my command of English as a foreign language. I started studying English when I was six years old, which means I have been learning it for thirteen years.
