Some feels that individuals should try to assimilate completely to the country where they live while others feel it is more important to preserve their native culture. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Nowadays, most
people
are moving to foreign countries for various purposes and some of them think that newcomers should fully assimilate into the host
country
. Others,
however
, disagree and believe that conserving their own
culture
has paramount importance. I will discuss both statements in
this
essay. On the one hand, those in favour of adapting to the
country
have valid reasons.
First
of all,
people
must adapt to
this
culture
in order to quickly overcome the psychological obstacles and problems which are related to living in
another societies
Replace the adjective
another society
other societies
show examples
.
For instance
, these problems may be related to language,
culture
shock and local customs of that
country
.
Secondly
,
people
, especially, immigrants need to assimilate the lifestyle, language and
culture
of the government in order to be successful and strongly competitive in foreign countries.
On the other hand
, there are many
people
who argue that
people
should preserve their native
culture
and it has an important role because it is personal wealth.
For example
, preserving of own
culture
gives a sense of belonging to
people
living in other countries.
This
also
gives a feeling of not being separated from
people
and a sense of pride and satisfaction. In conclusion, I certainly argue that accepting or adopting the traditions or
culture
of a new
country
should be left to
people
to decide to what extent they accept.
Also
, immigrants should strike a balance between these two variables.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
