The thing I found so far about my topic, bilingualism is...
In the past time, learning second language was not so common in the world. As the world have been globalized, the fenomenon of bilingualism are getting popular.
In this whole world, some countries have policy to be builingual country, the others keep being monolingual.
The reasons why the country become bilingual are various, for example, the history of being colonized by the other country is a factor of them.
Education system in bilingual culture costs a lot and needs people including teachers.
There are some key points to raise children as bilingual, which are home exeperience, cognitive support, parental involvement and so on. Younger children can learn the other lanuguage easier. Some of them have problem in the progress of learning 2nd language such as transfering new word into their own language.
The benefits to be bilingual can be seen in all kinds of aspects; earning more money on their business, being flexible when they communicate with the others, the ability of expressing theirselves, and so on.
P.S. I wanna find more information about the education of bilingualism and try to find the disadvantage of being in a bilingal culture if possible.

hi, eriko:
i think ur articles is pretty interesting especially this country is so multi-culture!!! as u mentioned in the summary, bilingual people have more advantage to live in this society cuz language is the most important tool to communicate with others. maybe u can go and see if there is any information about the education policy for the second generation of immigrants or check some websites which are talked about the mixed children. it might be related to bilingual issue. i hope u can do this project well. good luck!!!
