## Two families

Two families
Each year, many young people come to the United States from other countries.
You are going to read about two of these young people and their families.

Hi! My name is Pablo. I am fourteen years old. I am from Mexico City, Mexico.
I am a ninth grade student at Grant High School. School is great.
I like social studies and science the best.
I live with my family in Los Angeles.
My father owns a small grocery store. My mother works in a doctor’s office.
I have one brother and one sister. My brother, José, is five.
My sister, Marta, is seven. I like my family a lot.

When you are done reading, do the following exercise.

You are now going to read a similar story about Shen’s family.
Fill the gaps!
Write down two questions based on the story and make a classmate answer them. Now, write a paragraph about your own family in your notebook.
Use Pablo’s and Shen Wi’s stories to help you.
