Miguel moved to the United States from Brazil three years ago. He lives with his mother and his sister in a
small house that they rent in Minneapolis. His father, Alfredo, stays behind in Brazil because he owns a
small business. He'll rejoin the family sometime next year.
Miguel's family had to wait almost ten years to immigrate to the United States. They applied for a visa
when Miguel was two years old. They didn't realize it would take so long to obtain permission to enter the
United States. They're happy about their new lives, but they get homesick from time to time, and they miss
Alfredo.
Miguel is gradually adjusting to his new life in Minneapolis. He still struggles a little with his English, but
his new American friends are helping him learn about the language and the culture. He's in his second year
in high school, which means he's a sophomore. He has two more years to go before he graduates. His
grades are good and he's very active in sports. He plays American-style football in the fall and soccer in the
spring.

Dear Mary,
How are you? I must write to tell you about the natural disaster I saw on TV this morning. It was a huge
tsunami in Japan two days ago. At first, there was a very strong earthquake, and then the tsunami swept
through the coastal areas of northern Japan.
It was so devastating. What used to be busy and lively cities now has become a vast area of debris. Houses
were totally destroyed, and pieces of furniture and means of transport were scattered everywhere. Luckily,
thanks to early warning, there was no human loss. I felt terrible.
I intend to donate some of my pocket money to help the Japanese people.
Would you like to join me?
Love
