Today, many people decide to immigrate to other countries, and the majority of people flee their countries because of wars or even because they wanted to have a better life, finding a job and forming a family in another country.
But, also the native people of the other countries learn a lot of things about the immigrants and the different customs, traditions, races and languages because they have a contact with the immigrants and this knowledge about each culture is important, serving of experiences for the rest of their life.
Although, there are pros of immigrations , such as contribution to bring diversity to society, change of experiences, interaction of cultures, they develop tolerance, but there are cons as well, because the people think that they take our jobs, some are disruptive or criminals, some don`t adapt to our customs and they turn our country unsafe.
Every person has his opinion, and others respect the differences, for me, I think that is not easy to immigrate to a country completely unknown, because I spend for this experience, tree months in Switzerland with my parents and my brother. I learned new traditions and know other people and places, such a Lake Geneva .
However, my mother didn`t adapt and we returned to Portugal and this experience changed my perspective towards life.
So, in spite of immigrants having dreams, they don`t give up on their homes.

It must have been a wonderful experience, to live in a different country:) I would like to see Switzerland, I bet it's beautiful, although being away from home would be hard.

When my father was younger, he emigrated to Switzerland. He lived there for several months.
