　　The US is one of the biggest countries in the world．It is well-known because its population comes from all over the world．The immigrants(移民)can learn English to keep the United States united but it is unfair to have to drop their culture for an American way of life．

　　I believe that recent immigrants should learn English in order to live in this country．If they don’t learn English they won’t be able to communicate and do what they want．Anita one of my mother’s friends came here from Ecuador three years ago．She does not speak English．One day her daughter got a serious fever．She didn’t know what was going on so she tried to call an ambulance(救护车)．However when she called the hospital she couldn’t talk．The operator(接线员)couldn’t understand what Anita was saying．Thankfully her sister arrived and called the ambulance．The doctor told Anita that if she hadn’t arrived at the hospital in time her daughter would have died．

　　Immigrants should learn English to speak with the public but they should also keep their language at home．If we learn English only and forget our own language we won’t be able to communicate with our parents．Florence my co-worker speaks English only．Her mother didn’t teach her Spanish her mother language．She has lost her mother language tradition and culture so she can’t pass them down to her future generations．

　　In conclusion immigrants should learn English in order to communicate with the public and to keep the country united but they shouldn’t drop their culture for an American way of life．
