Task 2: Some people think that people moving to a new country should accept new culture in a foreign country. Others think that they should live as a separate minority group with a different lifestyle. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is a controversial perception heating a debate over how to lead a lifestyle while residing in another country. While some argue that people should get used to the cultural differences, others state that living as a solitary minority group should be taken into consideration.

both
views followed by parallel justifications. Keeping the original country lifestyle may bring some redeeming features to
