I am not sure whether they are right or not.chemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />>>
If you find something wrong in Grammar or vocabulary, 
help me check them.  Thank you for your help.

 

 

The TOPIC IS THAT:

 When people move to another country, some of them decide to follow the customs of the new country. Others prefer to keep their own customs. Compare these two choices. Which one do you prefer? Support your answer with specific details. >>

> >

When immigrants, emigrating from their own countries to another country, prefer preserving their original cultural heritage to changing the ways of life, such as ideas, religion, or beliefs, I don’t agree with this assertion. Now that people decide to leave their own motherland and settle in other countries permanently, they had better integrate themselves into a new society whose culture is so different from their own, helping them adapt to a new milieu. However, if they don’t give up their original customs, it will be difficult for them to become real members of a country where they move to.

> >

It is some immigrants who don’t follow the customs of a new country that preserve their own traditional cultures. chemas-microsoft-com:officeTongue Tied [:S]marttags" />lace>Americalace> can serve to illustrate my perception. The United States where a wave of immigrants comes from diverse cultural background, some still preserve their original ways of life rather than follow the customs of America, resulting in the form of melting pot. Chinese people, for example, flock to china town to celebrate the lunar Chinese New Year and go to the temple in which to pray to God that everything will be fine in the following year. Also, when different ethnics all over the world dwell in lace>Americalace>, some of them tend to preserve their own original countries’ gourmet foods rather than American local foods. After all, immigrants want to pass on their original traditional recipe to their next generation. All in all, every attempt made by immigrants is to ensure that they can pass on their original cultural heritage of their countries to next generation though they no longer live in their mother countries. The choice of no following the new customs of the new country where immigrants move to, they will have trouble melting into the new society. Hence, local people still see them as an outsider not a real member of the country.

> >

It is immigrants who integrate themselves into a new social culture that melt into a new environment, enabling them to enjoy and enrich their life. What is the best way of adapting to a new environment is to follow their customs, in terms of the celebration of holidays and festivals. My aunt can serve as good example. When she moved to lace>Americalace>, she started to change her attitude toward identifying American cultures. She gradually abandoned the customs of lace>Taiwanlace> and spent lots of time studying lace>Americalace> culture in order to improve the understanding of the real lace>Americalace>. She took the initiative to participate in the celebration of festivals including Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The time when she is immersed in the American customs helps her cut into the American culture. Only when immigrants overcome culture shock and adapt to the new cultural recognition do they become members of the new country. >>

> >

While some people prefer protecting their original cultural recognition to following the customs of a new country where they move to, I choose to differ. As is known, there are a variety of motivations for people to emigrate from their own nation to other countries, some of whom are eager to pursue wealth, some of whom purely change the way they live, and some of whom are in pursuit of knowledge. As a matter of fact, to pursue a life full of excitement and enjoyment, I claim that immigrants ought to follow the customs of a new country rather than insist on the importance of their original cultural heritage.

Dear adonis,

I think you have a very long way to go toward making your essay acceptable. But you have some good ideas that may be taken as a basis.

I tried to correct only grammar, but the sructure of your essay needs even harder effort.

For me it turned out to be a lot easier to rewrite your first paragraph based on the vocabulary you provided.

I hope more experienced writers will add their comments.

Some immigrants prefer preserving their original cultural heritage such as ideas, religion, and beliefs to accepting the ways of life of the new country. I believe that people who decided to leave their own motherland and to settle in other countries permanently should integrate themselves into the new society.

Reluctance to assimilate another culture, even radically different one, will make it difficult for them to become real members of a country where they moved to. To illustrate my point, I will describe the behaviour of some immigrants who settled into the United States. It is a country where waves of immigrants coming from diverse cultural backgrounds are mixed in a “melting pot” to produce a stable and amalgamated society. Yet some cultural groups tend to avoid American ways of life. Chinese people, for example, would flock to China Town where they celebrate the Lunar Chinese New Year and go to a temple to pray to God for their well-being in the following year. Also, many immigrants want to keep their traditional culinary preferences. Restaurants serving traditional food of other countries are often run as family businesses of non-natives who hand down their cooking customs to the next generations. Some immigrants go as far as to isolating themselves totally from the social integration to the local culture. They live and work in specific monoculture districts in cities where even knowledge of English is unnecessary for all practical purposes. Examples given demonstrate why local people might regard such people as outsiders rather than full members of their country.

 

Best wishes,

Dmitrij.
