Robert+from+Brazil

Robert came from Brazil in 2009. He couldn’t speak English when he first came here. He spoke Portuguese. It was hard for him to speak English and he didn’t like it when he couldn’t speak what other people spoke. He did not like to leave his family because all of his family was in Brazil. The reason why they came to New York was so his mom could find a job. They needed money so they could buy stuff and have a place to live. They though tit would be easier than in Brazil. When he arrived, his mom got a job and he got to learn English in a good school. His mom cooks Brazilian food at a restaurant. She’s been working there for two years. In Brazil he liked to play sports. His favorite sport was soccer and he still pays soccer here. He likes to see new places and he says “It’s OK here.”
