When people move to another country, some of
them decide to follow the customs of the new country. Others prefer to keep
their own customs. Compare these two choices. Which one do you prefer? Support
your answer with specific details.
People may choose to
keep their old traditions from their native country or to accept new ones.
Keeping the old customs will help one to overcome the cultural shock and the
change of the environment. From the other side, accepting the new traditions
will help one to adapt and make new friends with residents. In this essay I
will give different reasons why people decide to follow the customs of the new
country or to keep their own customs.
If one is from the
country with strong and old traditions, I think it will be rather difficult for
him to adapt to the new customs and moreover to reject his own. That is why
some people from the same country try to live together and to create their own
community where the old traditions are kept. They can not break the customs
that were created by their ancestors. For example, some nations are restricted
in certain kinds of food by their traditions. So, they do not go to the
restaurants unless their traditional food is served there. Some nations
according to their customs have to wear certain types of cloth because their
religion tells them to do so.
From the other side, if
one is from the country with traditions similar to ones of the new country it
will be easy for him to adopt and to follow the customs of the new place. He
will not feel much difference. Probably, the most difficult part of his
relocation will be to accustom to the new climate.
I think that people of
the new country are friendlier when they see that foreigner follows their
customs. I belief that traditions of every country deserve respect, especially,
when one lives there. In summary, I think that every country has its own beauty
and if one wants to find out more about it he will love it.
