Reading Press

I have learnt from this article that in Australia there is a need for workers from other countries but they can't accept everybody because thay are afraid the immigrants level of English language is not good engough for safe work. Subsequently, there is a quite difficult English test those people must pass. At the beginning I also thought lack of language knowledge could really be a cause of deaths because the author has brought some impressive statistics in. But in the end of the article there is another opinion that also seems to be right; the person who is against though language requirements says there are many safety systems that are made for multilingual workplaces and that there is no need of that strict tests. From my perspective, it is hard to pick any of the sides, however I believe that maybe those language requirements could be diluted a little as a compromise.
