What is the best strategy for a
government to increase the number of foreigners coming to a country?
☆Let’s Think
1.
Paraphrase Anna’s point.
Provide a case in point.
2.
Paraphrase Sam’s point. Provide
a case in point.
3.
If you take a trip or study abroad, what
country would like to go? Why?
4.
If you immigrate to another
country, what country would like to go? Why?
☆Hints for Points
1.
If you want more foreign
workers, improve the economy to raise the value of the currency of your country.
If you want more in-bound tourists, keep deflation and lower the value of the
currency of your country, both of which Japan has done intentionally or
unintentionally.
2.
Ensure diversity. Introduce open
immigration, or free migration, increase employment opportunities for immigrants,
and promise not to deport immigrants except for real felons.
3.
Make the best social services
like universal healthcare in place.
4.
Make universities free. This
will attract brilliant students from around the world.
5.
Promote the industry to produce
attractive commodities. Even 30 years ago, when the exchange rates of yen were
high, tourists came in to buy excellent Japanese electronic appliances.
6.
Promote tourism. Making the
country a good place to have a vacation in and advertising the sightseeing
spots will bring a constant flow of tourists.
☆Response for Ideas and Expressions
There is a hypocrisy when a
government wants to increase the number of foreigners coming in, while it
restricts the acceptance of refugees. It wants people from rich countries who
pay a lot of money but it doesn’t want people from poor countries it regards as
nothing but problems. However, due to climate change caused by global warming,
which is caused by economic activities of developed countries, countless
numbers of refugees are pouring out of the affected poor countries. Developed
countries have responsibility to support refugees, not only for the obvious
humanitarian reason. Therefore, if a government wants the number of the inbound
population, all it has to do is open its immigration, which it has been
supposed to do already. Also, immigrants will actually benefit the country. The
United States of America’s strength was its diversity. Steve Jobs was a son of
a Syrian immigrant. His inventions helped America remain the richest country in
human history. Michael Moore and Bernie Sanders are both descendants of
immigrants from Europe. These people have started and boosted the current
social change, which will help humankind to survive in hardship we will face in
this century. (195 words)
