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 Americanstyle football in the fall and soccer in the spring.

Hi Charles,
Can’t wait to tell you about my recent activity to help protect the environment. You know what? I
joined an environmental club and we went to West Lake to collect the rubbish there every
Saturday. I started this activity three weeks ago.
It was great to go around the lake and collect the rubbish. I could see that the pavement looks
much cleaner after we’d done our job. Some people, especially the children, imitate us and put

their rubbish into the bins. I felt really happy.
What about you? Have you done anything to save the environment? Tell me about it, OK?
Love,
