SAMPLE 21
People should follow the customs and traditions when people start to live in a
new country. To what extent do you agree and disagree?
These days, there has been a growing trend of migrating to other countries to
work, study or travel, causing some public controversies. It has been argued that

On the one hand, there are several reasons why newcomers will get into
difficulties if they do not follow the culture of the host country. First, since some

community which lead to greater integration. Second, foreigners would gain more
interesting experience from enjoying aspects of local customs and traditions,
which allows them to blend into the community life and avoid social isolation.
For instance,
Vietnamese people in the USA not only celebrate Lunar New Year, but also often
