Упр.8 Юнит 4 Step 6 ГДЗ Rainbow English 9 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Баранова, Афанасьева, Михеева 9 класс, Дрофа: Do you know that…?
Racial and ethnic groups are one of the most sensitive topics. Nowadays more and more groups of people prefer to be called by the name they have chosen themselves. For example, many Americans whose families originally came from Africa prefer to be called African-American. But there are others who prefer to be called black because they see themselves as American, not African. At any given time members of a certain racial or ethnic group prefer different terms and the words that were used before become outdated. For example, in books and articles that were written in the middle of the last century you may see expressions like Oriental or Chinaman. Be careful not to use old-fashioned and offensive words like these. Use more acceptable terms, such as Chinese people.

Ответ

1. Britain began to become a multicultural country after World War II, when many people came there from former colonies and other countries to work and live.
2. It is difficult to say that racism in Britain is dead because racist attitudes, discrimination and attacks still exist.
3. The BNP works for a “white Britain” and against immigration. No, they do not use only peaceful methods; some of their activity is aggressive and extremist.
4. They say that blacks and Asians should be repatriated because, in their opinion, immigrants take jobs, housing and social benefits from British people.
5. The labour market in Britain is not equal for everyone: immigrants and ethnic minorities often have more difficulties in finding good jobs and may be paid less.
6. Yes, I can. Teenagers may suffer from insults, unfair treatment or discrimination because of their nationality, so their feelings are understandable.
7. In my opinion, it is good for a society to be multicultural because people can learn from different cultures and traditions. In my country, there are also people of different nationalities living together.
8. Yes, racism still exists in my society, though many people are against it and try to fight discrimination.
