el ultimo de la cola

la mayor ciudad
- The city is so multicultural.

- about a quarter is Maori or from the Pacific Islands. As a result, there are great ethnic restaurants and there are interesting cultural
- festivals.

me resulta mas fácil hacer amigos
- Yes and no! Ordinary NewZealanders – or Kiwis as they call themselves – are friendly
- and helpful, but they don’t make friends easily. Because I’m Asian, many people take a stereotypical view of me, which isn’t true. I find it easier to make friends with other
- immigrants. They understand how it feels to be new.

although
however
still
anymore
but
on the one hand/ on the other hand
in conclusion
-
although I was born in England, I feel still Irish as well as English. That’s because my parents are both from Ireland, (3) however all my friends are from London. I’ve spent
- a lot of time in both countries. My grandparents aren’t alive anymore, but when I was young, we often went to Ireland to visit them. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages for me with both cultures. On the one hand, I can enjoy the art and music of two countries, and I support England at fooball and Ireland at rugby! On the other hand, I don’t really know where I want to live. I feel very Irish in London but very English in Dublin. In conclusion, I feel lucky that I have
- spent my life enjoying two cultures.
