       1. Choose to write or talk about the following items. 
        If you decide to write show the writing to your teacher for feedback. 
        If you choose to talk, keep a note on your difficulties and solve them 
        when you finish either by using a dictionary or asking someone.  
      Why do this? Talking or writing about immigrants will bring 
        to your mind your knowledge on the subject. Hopefully this knowledge will 
        help you understand the text better. 
      1. Are all immigrants treated the same way regardless 
        of their country of origin?  
        2. When a nation has limited jobs, nationals should be given those 
        jobs in the first place.  
        3. Crime rates increase in countries where law facilitates legal 
        immigration.  
        4. In some countries-like Spain- it is economically advantageous 
        to take in foreigners since the national population is growing old and 
        the birth rate is very low. Nationals need immigrants to pay for their 
        retirement pensions.
