a new place in cases of for example war or ecological disasters.

The topic presented is highly debatable. However, I strongly believe that if you decide to
move to a new country, you have to be prepared to adjust to the customs you arrive at. To
be able to fit in and be treated equally to the natives, one should gain knowledge of the
country`s rules of behavior and internalize many of the rules and norms.

On the other hand, I certainly share the point of view that it is important not to forget
about your own background when moving to a new country. In many of today`s
multicultural societies people learn customs from each other, and everyone might benefit
from increased knowledge about different customs. To make daily life go by smoother
however, I think adapting to national customs is a necessity for immigrants. Some
sacrifices must be made to avoid conflicts between natives and newcomers, and the
arriving crowd should be the ones to change more. As my mother used to say; when you
are in my house, you live by my rules. As far as I am concerned, this should count for
moving abroad as well.

From what I have been discussing above, there is no doubt where my position is
regarding the statement put forward. Although the statement involves both pros and cons,
my conclusion becomes that adaptation to customs when arriving to a new country is a
duty immigrants should take seriously.

Essay 553 Topic 109 Follow the customs of the new country vs. keep one`s own
customs

As we all know that there is no exact black and white in this world, the same rule also
applies to the topic given above. My answer to this question is we need to keep our own
customs, while we will also need to learn, follow others customs. At least, we need to
respect their customs if we do not agree with them.



As a Chinese student living in the United right now, I have many personal experiences
that I would like to share with you. Being cultivated and educated in China for 20 years, I
am very grateful for what my county has done to me and I am prod to be a Chinese.
Therefore, there is no doubt that I will keep my Chinese custom as I used to be. We
celebrate our lunar Chinese New Years and Moon Festivals etc, in the United States as a
way to thank Heaven (God in western society) for providing us the sheltering, food as
well as all other living elements. It is a tradition that roots in our blood.

While I would like to keep my Chinese tradition, it doesn`t necessarily mean that I cannot
learn and follow other country`s customs. There are so many good spirits that are located
in foreign customs. Understanding these customs will help people from different
backgrounds to understand each other better. I would like to give an example here. I also
celebrate Thanksgiving after I came to the United States. If you know the story behind
this holiday, you will appreciate What American Indians had done. It sets up a good
example that people would like to follow: to treat people as the way to be treated, no

matter where you come from.

Finally, I cannot deny that in some cases I do not agree with some foreign customs. Let
me raise an example here. I eat pork and I cannot follow what Muslin`s rule in this case.
However, I do respect their choice.

To summarize, people have to use their own judgments to decide what they need to
follow. From my own experience, I think the best way is to keep your own customs and
try to learn, to understand other countries` customs as well. In this way, people all over
the world will appreciate each other further and we will live as a whole to make our
tomorrow better.




Essay 554 Topic 109 Follow the customs of the new country vs. keep one`s own
customs

Moving to a new country that possesses distinctive culture and customs, people will have
different attitude towards the new things. As far as I am concerned, I would like to follow
the new customs, because it is valuable experience in my life to live with them
harmoniously.

Admittedly, following a new customs is the best approach to the different culture.
Humankind cultures bearing long history are various, and every one has its own
advantage and advances. It is a good chance for people to learn some special, but useful
knowledge. For a simple instance, attending the Christmas celebration in West Country,
we can learn something relates with their religion and their life styles.

Emotionally, it will help us to communicate with the people in the new country.
Following the new customs, expresses that I appreciate and respect their culture. When
we can share the same kind of way to live and act, they want to talk with you and tend to
work with you together. It is actually help newer to accommodate to the new
environments.

What is more, different countries have distinctive climates and geography, which give
rise to some particularly customs. The typical example is that people, who live in humid
climate, preferring pepper, is a sort of spontaneous phenomenon, because pepper is
helpful to defend humidity. When you tend to accept this kind of custom, it will benefit
your living quality in the new place.

It is, therefore, obvious that to follow the new customs in a new country can be essential
for people to adapt to an indifferent condition. Though some people tend to keep their

own customs, it will not impede you to understand something about this country and
people.

Essay 555 Topic 109 Response to Topic 109

Migration from one place to another has been the practice of ancient peoples. The term
"migration" in the ancient times was the same as it is today. People in the previous days
would move from one place to another in search of jobs, calm and quiet place, natural
beauty and most importantly facilities of life, etc. When people migrate to another
country they do not keep the customs in minds rather they look for some benefits which
they want to acquire it. While clearly taking both the issues considerably we can include
some of the following points: 1) People after migrating to another country decide to
follow the customs of the new country because they are now going to spend their whole
life in this country and it might be an obstacle for them to keep up their custom values.
On the contrary, people who migrate to a new country may not change their customs
because they believe that the custom is their "treasure" of life and it has been passing on
from their forefathers to them and if they change their customs they would bring an end
to the customs of their ancestors. 2) Many people would like to experience something
new in life and they mention it as a "life style" so they alter their customs to the customs
of a new country which brings changes into their lives. Other people believe that by
practicing their own customs in a new country they will not only practice it by
themselves rather they can attract the native of a new country to follow their customs and
they can promote their own customs and beliefs which will help them create a new
society. 3)People following the customs of the new country may hold this view that they
can easily mix with them and one must go on with life according to the present time. On
the other hand, people migrating to a new country may present their view that they are
not the followers of any other customs or traditions. They have their own rules and
customs, so why to follow others traditions which is not or may not suit to one's desire.

They value or give utmost importance to their traditions first and then second to other
things. To sum up, it is or rests up on an individual or a group of people on how to move
on with their life and what conditions must be accepted while moving to a new country.
One will always look for the benefits in life, and if by adopting a new custom of a
country will bring some benefits or advantages in life then he will adopt it. I would prefer
to keep our own customs and traditions, because these traditions are linked with our
history and historical moments so we must preserve it for our next generation. Migration
to a new country will not only bring new customs in one's life also new environment and
if he tries to influence the native of a new country then he can promote his traditions
which he may feel proud of it.

Essay 556 Topic 109 keep or drop custom value?

When people move to another country, some of them decide to follow the customs of the
new country, but other people prefer to keep their own customs. If I were faced with this
issue, I would agree with the first one. In the following discussion, I would like to reason
and provide evidence to support my viewpoint. There are some advantages for a person,
even after he has moved to a new country, to continue to follow the customs of his
birthplace. For example, in celebrating the holidays observed in his country of origin, he
is less likely to forget such important things as his extended family and culture.

Furthermore, in continuing to follow these customs, he is also less likely to feel
homesick. Somehow, in practicing these customs, he remains connected to the family and
friends he left behind. However, there are more advantages for a person to follow the
customs of country to which he has moved. For instance, he will feel more at home, not
to say less homesick for the country that he left behind. Moreover, following the customs
of a country-the country from where he came as well as the country where he now lives-
is a sign of respect to the wider community. It is a way of telling others that he is happy
where he now lives. Finally, in following the customs, he is also more likely to get ahead

financially. He will form more friendships and establish more contacts, thus improving
his prospects of finding a good job. Personally, I believe that it is better for a person to
follow the customs of a country where he lives than follow the customs of his country of
origin, because it is a principal way in which he can affirm his being a member of the
society in which he now lives. Moreover, following these customs is a sign of
acknowledging to others that he is happy to move here. Finally, following them will
make it easier to succeed financially.

Essay 557 Topic 110 Alone vs. with friends

If asked if one prefers to spend his time alone or with other people, in reality, for most of
people it is impossible to answer give an answer as black or white, because one needs the
both though the way of how to balance between the two should be different depending on
individual. However, I would say that recently I put more preference to spending my time
alone than to spend with friends for the following reasons.

First, these days I am more interested in improving myself as professional than sharing
funs with my friends, and so I like spending my free time reading and studying alone. I
would like to take advantage of being single because I know that after the marriage,
especially after giving a birth to a baby, it is very difficult for a woman to find time to
study for her own.

Secondly, now I do not have many friends with whom I can go out in my free time. When
I was younger, I used to like going out with my friends and also I had more friends to
study together. But now most of my friends are busy with their family matters or work
and so they are also not interested in having funs with friends nor have time to study
together. Now my communication with them is mostly by emails and telephone, instead
of sharing our free time together.

Thirdly, I have very good relationship established with my coworkers at work, which

certainly satisfies my emotional necessity of sharing things and feelings with somebody.
We eat lunch together every day, joking and talking about our personal issues. Therefore
I do not feel lonely even when I do not have any invitation and spend the weekend at
home alone.

In conclusion, thus, my preference about how I spend my free time has changed very
much since when I was younger and for me now the time I spend alone is more important

to improve my ability.

Essay 558 Topic 110 Alone vs. with friends

There are many lovely things in our lives such as the fresh air, country beauty, love and
friends. Everyone has friends or is engaged in finding friends so that one can share
emotions with them. Thus many people like to spend most of their time with friends like
me while some others would rather stay alone.

There is no doubt we need some time for ourselves. When I am in dorm and there is no
other person I can do anything I like, I could write some secrets in my dairy, enjoy some
beautiful music without being disturbed by others or read some philosophy books quietly.
Moreover, while being alone, it is convenient and quiet to consider some problems
carefully and if I get many friends in the dorm I have no chance to do these things.

On the other hand, spending much time with friends is quite interesting. Since I am a
sociable and open person, I always feel happy and relaxed when I do things with my
good friends. We can take part in all kinds of after-school activities such as playing
volleyball, swimming or climbing. Some good ideas often come up in my mind when I
am with friends but being alone I have no this inspiration at all.


Another important thing is when I come with friends I can always exchange views about
the study, the society or may be love with them thereby obtaining some interesting
information or knowledge. Each person cannot do all things know all kinds of knowledge
but a group of people may know them. When I face some serious problems and I do not
know what to do, some good friends would help me and give me suggestions quickly.

Being with friends can be fun and can help you get through the rough spots in life. After
all being happy in life means doing the things you enjoy and there is someone to share
the feeling with you. Being with friends in most of time is an enjoyable thing for me
because I would gain inspiration, satisfaction and much information from the process.
