George’s View of Multicultural Life

In today’s global society, more and more people are no longer living in the countries in which they were born.
This means that there is a huge mix of cultures and ideas in schools, workplaces and residential areas. This
is a really a positive thing in my view. We have the chance to learn about different traditions and cultures and
to participate in different celebrations. In societies where there is a long history of immigration, people seem
to be very tolerant and accepting of new arrivals, and the communities live and work well together.

In schools where there is a large number of people from different backgrounds, students benefit from a
better understanding of the world by being able to talk to someone from a different country. They also have
to learn how to welcome new people into their world. It can be hard starting a new school in your own
country. Think how much more difficult it would be in another country.

Our school is very multicultural and we celebrate the traditions of each country represented, which means
that we often have parties. The students of the country make the special food that they would have back
home and bring it to school. They also teach us any special dances or songs for the celebration and we are
able to understand each other so much better. Geography classes are no longer just written words on a
page or pictures on a video. We can talk to people who have lived in every kind of climate and learn about
their lives there, which is much more interesting.

Sometimes their parents will come into the school to give a talk about their country. We learn what they used
to do there and the reason why they decided to change countries. Most of the students in my school came
here because their parents work with large multinational companies, but there are a few students who had to
leave their homes because life was too difficult for their families or too dangerous.

Without people travelling to different countries, we would not live in such interesting communities.
