Упр.9 Unit 4 Секция 4 ГДЗ English Михеева 9 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 9 класс, Дрофа: Did 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 biack 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time members of a certain racial or ethnic group prefer different terms and the words that were used before become outdated.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 Iast century you may see expressions Iike Orientaior Chinaman. Be careful not to use old-fashioned and offensive words Iike these. Use more acceptable terms, such as Chinese people. 9 Read the text «Racism in Britain» again and answer these questions. 1) When did Britain begin to become a multi-cultural country and why? 2) Why is it difficult to say that racism in Britain is dead? 3) What does the BNP work for? Do they use only peaceful methods in their activity? 4) What are the BNP’s arguments when they say that blacks and Asians should be repatriated? 5) What is the situation in the labour market1 in Britain? 6) Can you understand the teenagers who speak about racism and have problems because of their nationality? 7) Do you think it is good or bad for a society to be multi-cultural? What is the situation like in your country? 8) Do you think racism exists in your society? *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.

Ответ

1. Britain began to become a multicultural country after the Second World War, when many people from former colonies came to live and work there.
2. It is difficult to say that racism in Britain is dead because racist attitudes and attacks still exist, and some people continue to discriminate against blacks and Asians.
3. The BNP works for a “white Britain” and against immigration. No, they do not use only peaceful methods: their activity is often connected with violence and intimidation.
4. They say that blacks and Asians should be repatriated because, in their opinion, these people are not truly British and take jobs and benefits from native Britons.
5. The situation in the labour market is difficult: many immigrants and ethnic minorities have problems finding good jobs and are often paid less than others.
6. Yes, I can understand them, because nationality can become a reason for unfair treatment, insults, or even violence.
7. In my opinion, it is good for a society to be multicultural, because people can learn from each other and live in a more open and tolerant way. In my country, people of different nationalities live together, and this makes society more diverse.
8. Yes, racism still exists in my society, though many people try to fight it and support tolerance and equality.
