Read these extracts (A–H) from different types of text about immigration and do the tasks below.
A. Immigration derives from the Latin word “migratio” and means the act of a foreigner entering a country with the aim of obtaining the right of permanent residence. Immigration may have an economic or political motivation, or be a matter of family re-unification or caused by natural disasters. In many cases, immigrants simply desire to improve their circumstances by relocating.
B. Timofey Pnin is surely one of the most memorable of Nabokov’s characters. We meet a bald and middle-aged teacher of Russian and discover that he’s completely lost. Much that he encounters in the world around him is a source of confusion, including timetables, the use of articles in English, and also – comically – the habits of the Americans who are his neighbors. These are all things that many if not all
fellow immigrants are likely to have in common with him. Yet Pnin is a unique character, both in life and in literature.
C. The precise date of the first human occupation of Australia is likely to remain unknown, but evidence has been uncovered to suggest human presence on the continent for at least 40,000 years. Migration from Europe dates from 1788 when the first transports bearing convicted criminals made the long journey south. This was quickly followed in the early 1790s by the first wave of voluntary – and hence free – immigrants.
D. Immigration control concerns both how and why people from countries outside the UK are
allowed to enter the country and how long they are permitted to remain. Furthermore, it governs
what they may and may not do during their stay in the UK; for example, whether they have
the right to obtain paid employment, whether relatives may join them here, and whether they
have access to the National Health Service and similar state benefits. The paragraphs that follow
give advice about all aspects of immigration control.
E. Syed Ahmed, 22, a bright and hard-working young man, is studying at a leading British university to become an accountant. When his application to renew his visa so he could stay here on completion of his three-year degree course was approved, the final decision was not based on the contribution he could make to this country. Instead, the fact he’d taken up playing cricket for a local club since his arrival from Bangladesh turned out to be the basis of the judge’s decision.

G. I came to this country at the age of 12. When I started high school, I could hardly understand the language. That seems an age ago. Now I’m married, studying at college, and would like to become a teacher. Unfortunately, that can’t happen as a result of my status as an illegal immigrant. The future now seems so uncertain. But we are good people, we don’t have a criminal record, we pay taxes, we go to school, we work hard, and we love living here. I just want a chance to get the job I feel I deserve,
and to normalize our situation. Ultimately, we aim to use the years we’ve been here as justification to become naturalized, so we can be treated as citizens of the country.
H. If directions are given under Part I of Schedule 2 or Schedule 3 to the 1971 Act for a person’s removal from the United Kingdom, and directions are also so given for the removal with him of persons belonging to his family, then if any of them appeals under section 59, 63, 66, 67 or 69(1) or (5), the appeal is to have the same effect under paragraphs 10 to 14 in relation to the directions given in respect of each of the others as it has in relation to the directions given in respect of the appellant.
