1 Reading:
theatre whenever I can, so I suppose I can say that most things in my life have stayed the same. That’s
good because I liked my lifestyle in the States, even though I think London suits me better. I still ride
my bike to work as well, but one thing’s different and that’s where I ride. I can’t get used to riding
on the left and I don’t think I ever will, however long I spend here!’
Amir
Tall, slim of build and athletic, 25-year-old student Amir looks like he could be a professional
sportsman. A member of Britain’s sizeable Muslim community, Amir feels that relations have
changed between Britain’s different communities since his schooldays. ‘Back then it was difficult to
be from an ethnic minority and having a different religion to most of the other kids in my class. Most
of them didn’t even know what a Muslim was and assumed I was from India – most of them had
never heard of Pakistan – even though my parents and I were all born in the same town as they were.
We’d never even been to France, let alone Asia! I used to hear comments about me that weren’t very
nice, about me not being English and so on, but I can’t remember the last time somebody spoke like
that to me so I suppose how people think about these things must have changed a lot, and that’s good.
