For Julie, there’s no contradiction in being a Canadian refugee speaking Czech, or a Spanish-speaking immigrant who’s a full-fledged – or fully developed – American. These are not either-or situations – cases where there is only a choice between two options, with no third possibility. Instead, a peaceful coexistence can develop, as shown in the life of Julie Sedivy herself.

Right. it’s time to reveal the answer to my question: how many people around the world, like Julie, are living as displaced refugees?
✨Rob
Well, I said it was 103 million. Was I right?
✨Sam

✨Rob
If something is dunked, it’s dipped into a liquid, like a biscuit in a cup of tea, but if someoneis dunked into a situation, they’re suddenly placed into a new and unfamiliar setting before being removed again after a short time.
✨Sam
If you have faith in something or someone, you have trust or confidence in them.
✨Rob
The phrasal verb to sort itself out, means to stop being a problem without having to do anything.
✨Sam
The adjective full-fledged means completely developed.
✨Rob
And finally, an either-or is a situation where only a choice between two options is possible, with no third alternative.
✨Sam
And that brings us to the end of this programme. Bye for now!
✨Rob
Bye bye!
