Introduction
It is difficult to come to a new country alone. This young man came to the United States with no family. He had problems, but now, he is thinking about his future.

    Hello, my name is Victor.

    I’m from Guatemala.

    I came to the U.S. five years ago.

    I was alone and I didn’t have a job.

    I was sad, because my family and friends were in Guatemala.

    Now, I am 24 years old.

    I am happy because I have a good job and I go to English class.

    I work Monday to Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m..

    I work in construction.

    My cousin lives with me in our small apartment.

    He cleans the apartment and he buys the food.

    Every month, I send money to my family in Guatemala.

    Sometimes, I go to the movies, eat in restaurants, or play soccer.

    I want to continue my education and speak good English.

    When I have a good job, I want to get married and have children.

Conclusion
Life in the United States is not easy at first. Maybe your family and friends are not with you, or maybe you don’t have a good job. Maybe English is difficult for you. Sometimes it is necessary to study and practice English for many years. Don’t give up! Continue practicing and learning English.
