These test are quite hard, not too hard but it really has nothing to do with immigration, it all to do with self-efficacy and self-esteem. A lot of students give up and can't be bothered both immigrants and born Brits... But depends on if the immigrants started school early or late and all that stuff.

Judging by your post, you don't seem to speak much English either.

"More simple". It seems you don't speak much English either. And funnily enough, you could say I'm an immigrant.

We shouldn't worry about immigrants that cannot speak properly in English. We should worry about British who can't speak their own native language properly.
I'm pretty sure, Chinese, Indian, and Black African's have a higher than average attendance to high education.

A lot of people mistake a lack of will to speak English with a lack of ability.

'Simpler' not 'more simple'.

If you're going to give an impromptu Grammar 101 lesson, please do it properly :-P

(you're not strictly incorrect, it just sounds better and is more commonly accepted to use "simpler" in the middle of a sentence)

Stick to one style of writing the quotation marks, either stay with '........' or "......" :tongue: Sorry, couldn't resist :colondollar: Also, you've forgotten to end the sentence with a dot (.)

To be fair there are a fair few British people on here. It is a British website after all.

Of course.

Funny that you're the only one expressing shock and disbelief at alternative yet valid words. Assuming you're British.

"Omg, I went on this thing called the internet the other day and there were FOREIGN PEOPLE talking to me! How weird is that?"
:rolleyes:

Well I try and avoid foreign people everywhere to be honest, not just on the internet.

Haha nah I'm kidding, if you're actually American you're duly excused. :wink: It's the creeping Americanisms infecting the rest of the world that should be prevented/slowed.

Nigerian :wink:

There's no denying that I'm influenced by popular culture in many ways, including my use of language. I don't see "Americanisms" as a negative thing.
Agree to disagree? If not, feel free to start a thread on America's cultural influence on the rest of the world... :tongue:
