Focus on document B

VI- The segment of the Indian population this article is about is the son of rich family who have studied overseas and are heading back to India.

VII- I think the « reverse brain drain » is a phenomenon when the student from a country are going studied overseas and they heading back to their country. For the exemple in the text they heading back to India.

VIII- The reasons that explain this phenomenon are : because the school are best in america and they gain a broader world view and a good education. And then they go back to India because the economy of India grows up and, and India is a very excited market and it’s a great time to start something in India.

Focus on document A and B

The Characters in document A and B have many different reasons to going back home because Radha is gonna be married to Rajan and the two are from Sri Lanka and because they’re going back often in country. In the document B they’re going back home to start something after overseas studied like Janki.

EXPRESSION

Subject 1

I think to feel mobility in today’s world is an obligation because if I want to be the best I have to do the best school and the best school are never in our city or country and we have to move. For example if I want to do the best school of design I have to do in America as Janki as did. Another example if you want to be the best in law you have to do Harvard in Boston and for that you have to feel mobility because you don’t live in Boston I think. But then after studied it’s a good idea to heading back in our own country because it’s a good idea to start something then in a new economy. To feel mobility it’s also a good thing because if I have my graduation (bac) I went to a college to study the marketing and it’s far from home and then when I wanted a job I wanna feel mobility to go wherever to find a job. If a person now or in the futur don’t feel mobility it’s a big mistake because jobs or schools or company are often far from home for us because we live in Romans and it’s a very small city for example between Paris or New York.
