LISTENING TEXT WHO ARE BRITISH CITIZENS? Liu Lei is talking about British people with Sarah. LL: Sarah, did you say that Britain is a multicultural country? S: Yes, I did. So is China. You’re 56 nation alities in China. We’ve many people from different cultures and countries in Britain too. LL: I don’t understand. If they come from different cultures and countries, how do you know they’re British? Aren’t they Caribbean or Indian or Australian? S: I know it’s a bit confusing. Let me explain. A long time ago the British ruled many countries around the world like India and Kenya. It was called the British Empire. When these countries became independent, their people were given the chance to become British or the citizens of their own new countries. LL: Please speak slowly so I can understand you. Now let me see if I’ve got it right. Did you say they had to choose which country to belong to? S: Yes, and many chose to be citizens of their own countries. But some wanted to stay British. So they are one group. LL: There is another group, isn’t there? S: Yes. If you were born in Britain or your parents are British, you are a British citizen too. LL: That’s easy. I can follow you now. Are there any more groups? S: Yes, but only one more. The third group is when you come from another country and live in Britain for five years. You can ask to become a British citizen. LL: Is that easy? Do many people in England have black skins and are still British? S: Yes. Many black British came from the Caribbean from 1950 onwards to help run the railways. Others came from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and so on. LL: Have they changed life in Britain? S: Oh yes, with their music and their food, of course! People originally from India and Pakistan have given us a new national dish called chicken tikka masala. It is now more popular in Britain than fish and chips! We are truly a multicultural people now. * 新课标人教版课件系列 《高中英语》 必修5-2.12 语法闯关Ⅰ 改错篇 1. They woke up, finding everything ar
