Immigration

Millions people every year immigrate to another country. The reasons are different: Job, family, new life, adventure or other more personal affairs.

The United States is the best example of a multicultural country. Christopher Columbus discovered this country in 1492 year. The first immigrants had a lot of work because this land was wild and impervious. Dense forests made expansion difficult. But the forests gave food, fuel and building materials. The immigrants from Europe had to bare the different climate. Summer was sweltering hot and humid. Winter was long and frosty. A lot of people immigrated because they want to get rich. They want to establish businesslike factories. Fertile soil gave good crops of tobacco. Forest gave furs, and mines for digging up costly metals. Every one of these things was big demand in Europe.

Immigrations began came to America a fast pace. In 1790 the population United States count about 3 929 214. In 1990, only two hundred years later population grew to 248 709 873.

I am one of these immigrants that came to America. I came to live with my uncle and his family. I came here from Poland. I came here because I want to learn English, to get an education and later go to college. I live in New Jersey. And I want visit to this beautiful country.

For the immigrants who don’t know English language, it is very difficult. School and life is different here in America. In Poland there is a different education system. The testing is different here because here there are multiple choices on most tests. Polish tests have essays, and short answer sentences. Life is different because I must learn very much and study English all the time. In Poland I have more time to spend with my friends.

I’m very happy that I came here, and changed my life. I hope my family will come here soon to join me.
