Portfolio task 2

People today move to new cities or new countries to study or work. Those people will face a lot of challenges and problems. Some of them will get used to it, and the others will not.

There are some challenges people who move to new cities or countries will face. One of the challenges is a cultural challenge; people, for example from the Arab world, won't get used to the western culture in Europe. Laws are different in each country around the globe; also language which is one of the most important challenges and the hardest. Because for a foreigner it's hard to communicate with the local people, Also weather will affect the person's personality; some countries in the winter you can't see the sun at all, which makes people get depressed and commit suicide because there is nothing else to do. Homesickness also is one of the challenges people should face. So people should set some strategies before migrating to another country. For an example, they should research the country they are visiting. What is the weather, in which language people communicate, and what the laws that people should obey are.

In conclusion, with time people who move to the new cities or countries, will get used to the country they are studying or working in.
