Read the passage and answer the questions |
Roberto came from Acapulco to New York ten years ago. At first he
missed everything – the sunshine, the food, his girlfriend. But now he
has a successful business with his three brothers and his sister. They
run a soccer store in New Brunswick. Roberto’s girlfriend is now his
wife, and they have two children who go to American schools.
When asked why he came to the US, Roberto says without
hesitation, ‘Because I want to work hard and be successful.’ He
certainly works hard. He’s at the store all day, then works as a driver
in the evening. ‘That’s why I like America,’ he says. ‘You can be what
you want.’‘When I first came here, I didn’t speak the language, and it was
winter. It was so cold! There was snow! Now nearly all my family are
here, not only in New York, but also in California, and in Texas. We
meet about once a month and have a huge Mexican meal that takes
about five hours! We’re all happy here.
