首次考雅 首次复议成功

    又是一個等29/3/08考的GT復議結果的日子。。。今天收到SYDNEY U的信，在想應該是關于IELTS復議的。于是我拿着信在手，播着handset裏的一首歌:"Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want"。打開一看，以前Writing的6.5變成7.0暸。哈，有4個7or above. 我在想，如果成績是關繫到一個人的未來，Markers會給一點臉子的。因為我有attach一封親筆信說明4個7對我的重要性。Thank God, I succeeded. Good luck to those who have made enquiry on their results!

PS: 想問大傢，Appeal成功是不是有refund的？
PS2: 送上這兩天為準備22/5 UTS GT IELTS寫的作文，可惜考试不能cancel掉。題目來自“2008年5月10日翡翠冰糖雅思考试预测”。希望對大傢有幫助。

Q: Some people suggest when people move to a new country they should accept the new culture as their own, rather than have the separate minority groups which has their own different cultures. To what extent do you agree?
The growing immigrant populations in Western societies have caused much debate on national unity in the past decades. In my opinion, minority cultural groups have the rights to preserve their traditions and religions, but with the obligation to mix with other ethnic groups.

A good society is hard to sustain if its citizens become increasingly diverse. For example, certain essential values of Australian culture, such as ‘mateship’ and ‘fair go’ are not widely adopted by the non Auglo-Celtic Australians. What is worse, some of them do not speak English which makes it hard for them to bond with the community. As a result, the diversification had caused the separate development of community with one nation; a country without loyalty but a federation of ethnic cultures. To resolve this disintegration issue, the Australian government has commenced the ‘Australian citizenship test’ to assess new migrants’ knowledge of English skills and Australian values, as a remedy to maintain its national identity and unity.

A good society is also difficult to maintain if its economy is weak. In fact, in some Western countries, the growth of its economy is closely correlated with the support of skilled migrants. To let them feel comfortable in the new country, policy makers seem to accept and recognise the cultural heritage of minorities. For instance, government provides funding to newspaper, television and radio in minority languages; multilingual customer service in governmental departments and so on.

Yet, a very good society is formed with every individual’s mutual respect towards each other, in regards to their cultural, ethnic or religious differences. However, this optimistic concept of human society maybe impossible to achieve, but what matters is the attempt to make a difference. Currently, some European countries have introduced policies for better social cohesion. The policies include: compulsory courses/tests on the constitution and the legal system; campaigns that promotes national unity and individual identification with the nation. Hopefully, education will promote openness and tolerance tow
