I believe that it is quite challenging if I have to work (teach) in another country. I have to be mindful of their customs and cultures which I will not be familiar with. I may not be able to communicate with pupils in another country well. Being a foreigner in their country, I will also worry about being accepted as a teacher that they look up to and want to learn from.

These foreigners have contributed to Singapore's success in a way or another. For example by being construction workers and helping to build houses for people to live in comfortably with a lot of hard work or becoming cleaners to ensure that our country is clean and so that we can live in a conducive environment.

We do not need to do a lot to express our appreciation and respect. We can just smile at them or just say " Good morning! " to them when we happen to see each other and it will already make them very happy.

I think that there will be a certain level of difficulty if I were sent to another country to study because I will not be familiar with the language and we will have difficulty communicating with each other. I may also not get along with the people there well and will have to work harder to understand and cope.

These foreigners have contributed to Singapore's success in many ways. For instance, cleaners contribute by making sure we live in a clean environment, bus/taxi drivers make sure that we can get from place to place easily and construction workers build buildings for us to live in.

We can either thank them or greet them.

If I have to study in their country, I would feel rather awkward as I am not familiar with the places in their country and I may have difficulty communicating with them and I would also worry as they may not want me in their country.

These foreigners contributed to Singapore in may ways.One example would be the cleaners.The cleaners make our country a clean and nice environment to stay in.Another example would be the construction workers.They help us build houses for us to stay.Without them ,how are will the environment be like?Where are we going to stay?

We can express our appreciation to them by greeting or thanking them whenever you see them.

If I have to work or study in their country,I would feel strange as I do not understand their language they are speaking and I would not set along with them.Not only that we will also feel left out as we know nothing about their country.

Foreigners helped Singapore in many ways by taking up jobs Singaporeans do not want to.
We should thank them by saying a thank you and greeting them whenever we see them.
If i had to work in a different country,I would feel very lonely as i might not know how their language and I would not be able to get along with them and i will feel left out.

These foreigners have take up jobs which singaporeans do not wish to take up, by showing our appreciation to them we can thank them or if we see a cleaner picking up rubbish we could also help them out by picking up the litter.

I think that the foreigners help us in many ways like keeping our country clean and building buildings
for us to stay in. Most of us would not want to do this jobs and thus they had contributed to Singapore's
success. We should learn to apprieciate and respect them for what they did for us.

These foreigners have helped Singapore to be a better place. The cleaners clean up the place so that Singapore is a clean city. The domestic helpers keep our homes clean. If not for them, our houses would be in a mess. Bus drivers drive the bus to get us from one place to another.

We should say thanks to them. That would cheer them up a little and brighten up their day. We can also help the cleaners by sweeping the floor and picking up the litter on the ground.

If I had to work or study in a foreign country, I would feel very unfamiliar and helpless as I would not be able to understand their language and get from one place to another.

Foreigners in Singapore have taken up jobs that Singaporeans unwilling to do. Jobs such as Construction workers, Cleaners and Domestic helpers. They have built up our home and keep our home clean. We should not look down on them but respect them. We have to do our part by not discriminate them or littering the place. If I have to work or study in their country, I will not be able to understand their culture and i may have difficulty communicating with them.

Foreigners that come to Singapore to work have taken up jobs that many of us are unwilling to do. Cleaners help to keep our environment clean and construction workers build new buildings.

We could show our appreciation to them by just greeting them or just thank them.

If I were to go to their country to study,I will feel very out of place and will miss my friends. I would not understand what they are saying and will have difficulty communicating.

The foreigners have done a great job in Singapore's sucess as they had taken up jobs like construction workers,cleaners that Singaporean does not want to take up.Lots of buildings that you see now is actually build by the construction workers.

When we see them,we can actually say thank you or greet them.We should respect them and should not talk bad things about them.

If i have to study in their country,i will have difficulty communicating with them as i does not know their language

or speak to them.
