Question

Read paragraphs 4-6 of the article. Decide if the sentences are true (T) or false (F). Underline the parts of the article that support your answers.

Answer

  1. F (It’s his company, so he runs it. You could also argue that it’s not that small either, given it has a turnover of half a million dollars a year.)
  2. T (He says ‘If I’d stayed in Afghanistan, none of this would’ve happened. At best, my life would’ve been incredibly hard and I would’ve struggled to have even a basic standard of living.’)
  3. F (these businesses (are) ... making considerable contributions to the national economies)
  4. F (refugees are less worried about risk, as they have already risked everything on their journeys out of their own countries)
  5. T (they often possess excellent negotiating skills, which they have had to develop on their journeys here.)
  6. T (Such skill sets are often forgotten among all the political debate on the subject of immigration as, of course, is the fact that most refugees have risked their lives many times over to be where they are today.)
