1 Write a paragraph on reasons people may have for
moving to another country. (Include the reasons that the family of “your Britkid” might have had for coming to
the UK.)
Reasons for people to emigrate to a foreign country
are diverse. One reason could be that the political, economic, humanitarian situation in an emigrant's home country is
very unstable, bleak, bad. A lot of people move to an other country because they have heard that there is work there for them.
Others left their home country... because they were persecuted. / because there were ... / because of war, economical
or human catastrophies, political persecution and the like.
Taz' father moved to England in 1955 because in Pakistan

2 Compare your life with that of
