5. LISTENING TEXT WHO ARE BRITISH CITIZENS? Liu Lei (LL) is talking with Sarah (S) about British people. LL: Sarah, did you say that Britain is a multicultural country?

6. S: Yes, I did. We have people from different cultures and countries. LL: I dont quite understand. If they come from different cultures and countries, how do you know that theyre British? S: Well, there are three different groups of British citizens. Let me tell you about the first group.

7. A long time ago Britain ruled many countries. When these countries became independent, their people were given a choice. They could either become British citizens or remain in their own country. LL: Now let me see if Ive got it right. Did you say that they had to choose which country to belong to?

8. S: Yes, and many chose to remain in their own country, but some wanted to be British and came to Britain. LL: I see. So thats the first group. Part 2 LL: So what about the second and third groups?

9. S: Well, the second groups easy. Theyre people with British parents or who were born in Britain. This is the largest number of British citizens. LL: And the third group?

10. S: They come from other countries. But if a person lives and works in Britain for five years they can become a British citizen. LL: I see. What if you have black skin?

11. S: It doesnt matter what colour your skin is! Many black people came from the Caribbean, India or Pakistan to set up small businesses. Theyre all British now. LL: Have they contributed to British culture?
