Band 6

Nowadays, more people are migrating to other countries than ever before. In order to become integrated into society in their adopted countries, immigrants should abandon their old ways and adapt to local customs and codes of behavior. Do you agree or disagree?

There are a variety of different opinions on whether or not immigrants should change their
behavior
manner of acting or controlling yourself
behaviour
 to fit in with their new
country
.
Although
 some people would no doubt disagree, I personally believe that newcomers should indeed try to adapt. In my view,
this
 means following both the written laws and social customs of their adopted
country
. There are two primary reasons for
this
.
Firstly
, it is obvious that
society
 would not function properly if newcomers did not obey the law. One particularly good example of
this
 is road rules – image what would happen if people refused to drive on the same side of the road.
Thus
, it is necessary for immigrants to make sure that they obey the law in their new
country even

the laws
 in their home
country
 are different. Two other examples of things which are allowed in some
countries but

countries, but
 illegal in others are owning a gun and gambling.
Secondly
, it is important to remember that societies are built on shared values. The social rules of a
country
 are the glues that keep it together, so immigrants must respect them. Certainly, having many different cultures makes a
country
 more interesting;
however
, I would argue that too much difference weakens a
society
 by making people feel that they do not belong there. I believe that
similarities

the similarities
 between people bring them together, while their differences pull them apart. A healthy
society
 is a

a strong sense
 of unity. In conclusion, I once again restate my belief that new immigrants to a
country
 must try to adjust to local rules of
