Unit 9C exercises 5 and 6

My name’s Ania Chomacka. I’m a dentist and I live in Birmingham. I came to Britain a year ago from Gdansk in Poland. It was quite difficult at first.­ I was a bit homesick and I missed my family a lot. I studied English at school in Poland so I don’t find it very difficult to communicate with English people, but sometimes they speak very fast. I like Birmingham – there’s lots to do here – it’s a very exciting city. I’ve made a lot of friends, both English and Polish ­– there’s a big Polish community here in Birmingham. It’s nice to meet up with people from back home and to speak my own language.

My name’s Abdul Khan. I’m a student at Bradford university in the north of England. I live here in Bradford with my parents and grandparents. My grandparents came over from Pakistan in the 1960s, when my parents were young. I was born here but I speak Punjabi as well as English. In fact we all speak Punjabi at home. I’m British but I’m also Pakistani ­– I think it’s important not to forget where you come from. Sometimes people are a bit racist but generally there’s a good relationship between the Asian and white communities in Bradford.
