"Natives and Immigrants"


First of all, I think this topic is very interesting if we talk about cultures origins, after all, if we see the origin of the world we are immigrants , aren`t we? Then, we live around people who comes from differents part of the world and also we are a mixture from natives and imigrants who are part of the formation of our culture.

Speaking of the complexity and diversity of the natives and immigrants in the formation of the United Kingdom the history could be different but the sistem used in this process is almost the same who Spain used in our country at the moment we were colonized. When I started to read this text, I remembered the movie “braveheart” because even if the author describe dates and important events the process of formation of the United Kingdom was all the time a real fight between native and imigrants. The thing is why is not posible to preserve the previous culture with a new one, or at least mix them. In my opinion, is very difficult to believe that through death and pain some land s were conquering.

what I expect about this course?

What I expect about this course?

First, I want to made a reflection about how important this course is, I think that if I am going to be an English teacher, at least, I should know something about the culture of the language that I am going to teach.

That`s why I feel so happy to have the chance to learn about something pretty interesting such as; others culture, watch movies about it, education issues, etc. Besides I hope learn many useful thing for my career and also I am totally eager for discover all this interesting things.

Finally, I can say that I would like to learn in a good atmosphere where all of us could feel comfortable. I expect the best about this course because I think that reflect about important issues is something completely necesary for us, after all, we have to be good teachers and I hope so.
