Multicultural Britain

Britain has always been a mixed society. In the distant past, Celts, Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans all settled in Britain. During the past 150 years people from Ireland, the former British colonies and the European Union have also come to Britain.

In the 1840s there was a terrible famine in Ireland. A million people died and a million more left Ireland, and never returned. Most went to the USA, but many came to Britain.

In the 1950s and 1960s the British government invited people from Britain’s former colonies to live and work in Britain. The majority were from the West Indies, Pakistan, India and Hong Kong.

People from countries in the European Union are free to travel, live and work in any other EU country. Recently a lot of people have arrived from Central and Eastern Europe.

• There are thousands of Indian and Chinese restaurants in the UK.
• Immigrants from the West Indies started the Notting Hill Carnival in 1965. It is now the biggest street festival in Europe.
• There are lost of Irish pubs in Britain and Irish folk music is popular.

Listening

Pre-listening

1. —Would you like to live in another country? Why? Why not?

— What problems do people face when they go and live in another country?

—  Let’s listen to two people talking about their life in Britan.

1. Woman: 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.
2. Man: 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.
