Topic 2: These days many families move to other countries for work. Some people believe that the children in these families benefit from this move. However, others believe that it makes life more difficult for the children. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Economic instability in many nations has made some
families
relocate to other countries in search of greener pastures. A few people are of the opinion that immigrating is beneficial to children
while others opine that it makes life difficult for them. In this
essay, I will discuss both views and give my opinion.
On the one hand, migrating to developed nations will increase the financial status of families
making them able to cater for all the needs of their kids. Financially stable families
are able to send their children
to the best schools, feed them with an adequate diet and ensure that they are healthy. For Example
, in the United Kingdom , the majority of the students in private schools are children
of middle-class families
because they have the ability to pay the expensive fees of such
schools. Moreso, they are more healthy compared to the children
from low-class families
because they are fed an adequate diet. Good education and health are of significant benefit to children
hence
relocation is
beneficial to Change the verb form
are
children
.
On the other hand
, children
as young individuals who are just starting to adapt to their environment might find it difficult to efficiently cope with the stress of adapting to a new environment, learning a different language, culture and way of life which is totally different from where they are coming from. This
is a significant challenge most children
are faced with as a result
of immigration. For instance
, a child who is not a native speaker of English , who finds himself in an English-speaking country will find it difficult to communicate with people, make new friends or even cope in his new school. This
will pose an immeasurable threat to his self-esteem and his mental health will be traumatized for a long time.
In conclusion, migrating to a new country in search of greener pastures is beneficial to children
and it is also
a challenge for them. In my opinion, parents should prepare their children
psychologically before relocating and help them to adapt to the new environment, this
will minimise the effect of relocation on a child and maximise the benefits.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
