Why I Came to Live in the
United States
By Juan F. Guerrero
I decided to live in the United
States because I want a better opportunity to work and help my family.
I am from Guatemala. It is a big
country. My country has one of the
most famous anthems of the world. I
am very happy at Carlos Rosario
School. I study English in the evening class. My class is Level 3. I like
my class because every night I learn
many things. My teacher, Shelley
Potter, is beautiful. She helps every
student in class. When I finish
school I want to get my high school
diploma. I have a dream for my future: first is studying hard, second is
to go to class everyday, third is to
graduate from college, fourth is to
enroll in a graphic design state college and then look for a job. I want
to be a graphic designer and help my
family.
My Favorite Holiday
By Jiaming Liu
I think my favorite holiday is Chinese New Year. For the Chinese New
Year, students have vacation for one
month. They enjoy these days. They can
go to visit friends, take a trip with family, or do everything they want. On New
Year‟s Day, in China, every family has a
big dinner with family members. Adults
have to give money to children as a spring
festival gift. Children are very happy
about it. The children set off firecrackers. I hope I‟ll go back to China for Chinese New Year later.
