EDUCATIONAL NOTE
Apartheid was a system of government imposed on the population of South
Africa in 1948. It was based on racial discrimination against the black
African nations of the country. These people were restricted to certain areas
called “homelands,” where living conditions were poor. In the “white
areas,” these people had no voting rights, and apartheid laws ruled all
aspects of their daily lives. The system was widely condemned by the
international community and led to UN sanctions, resulting in the South
African government having normal diplomatic relations only with Britain,
Taiwan, and Israel. The system was abolished by the prime minister at the
time, Mr. F. W. de Klerk. He freed all political prisoners, including
Mr. Nelson Mandela, who became the first black president in 1994.

6.35 TRAVELING
People worldwide are increasingly traveling abroad to work for periods
of months or even years. This phenomenon brings about both advantages
and disadvantages. Give your opinion.
Note: The words in parentheses are more advanced alternatives.
INTRODUCTION
Migrant workers leave home in search of work in other parts of their own
country or in another country. I will look at this phenomenon in terms of the
advantages and disadvantages and then decide on (formulate) an opinion. (38

BODY
There are many disadvantages to working abroad. First, it is difficult to
leave family and friends behind for months or years. Second, the “culture
shock” might be too severe to endure. Third, if the migrant worker does not
know the language spoken in the foreign country, it will result in much
frustration and misunderstanding.
The most obvious advantage of working abroad is that one is able to search
for a job with the remuneration package, environment, and working
conditions that one likes best. For example, a teacher who wants to travel to
Asia would love a teaching position in an interesting country like China. If
the job, in addition, offers a reasonable salary and free housing, meals, and
transportation, it would be hard to resist.
In my opinion, each person has to consider the advantages and disadvantages
and then decide if he or she would want to work abroad. Young people and
bachelors, for example, do not have families to think of and would go and
work abroad more easily. Unemployed people unable to find jobs will go
even if the working conditions will not be easy. (187 words)
CONCLUSION

---

To summarize, then, I have noted some advantages and disadvantages of
working abroad for long times (extended periods). To conclude, we could
say that each person has to consider his or her own circumstances and then
decide. (35 words) (Total words: 260)
