Title: Today I am an American.....

Every child that was born in the United States is considered as a Citizen, and they don't have to take the test for being like that. In different state are the parents or grandparents of those children, They have to apply to get a legal status. They become petitioners, and they must learn much about U.S. Story and government.


Before people get a citizen's certificate, they have to do several things, like these ones: They have lived in the U.S. at least the last five years, they have to fill an application, after they have to be inteviewed by a person, who make them many questions, in addition the petitioner has to take a written test. In conclusion of these steps, the examiner wants to know about the English and knowledge of the petitione of the United States.


Then they have to promise to be loyal with the United States, After of that the judge gives each person a certificate of a citizenship.


Everybody knows that America is filled out with many from around the world. Scientists says that people of  America may be could become of Asia. Also many people of around the world would like to come to America, for getting new opportunities of life, like having a better job, more freedom in many aspects ot the society like religion, politic, etc. When those people leave their country, only they put a few personal things in some suitcases.


But the first thing that people think of going to another country is enrich ther lives, and in the United States it has the chance to demonostrate their skills, knowledge, etc.


Finally, We can say that many people are living in the United States..... Indeed today is more difficult to go to this country, cause they have several laws and other procceses that make this chance a real dream........

The honest neighbors......

This story happened in a small village in China….

In this place the had live five neighbors named: Chang, Ming, Wong, Woo and Ling. They got together in a public well, after they had drew the water, they talked about their week´s events. They said that they had the best week, since so much time.

Chang said he was getting the best jade in the time. He was recalling the time when the emperor came to their village, and how they saw the gold coins falling from the cart of the emperor. Every of the neighbors found gold coins, buy they said, they gave them back to emperor. They were arguing aboout their actions of gold coins and the emperor. Then a well dressed man came and greeted to them. He had sent by emperor, cause He wanted a special bell for his palace. This object had to be of pure gold, and had to tell who was saying the truth. The man explained that every of the neighbors can proof who was saying the truth about the gold coins.

They had to put their hand on the bell, if the bell remain silence, the person was telling the truth, but if it kept making noise, the person was telling a lie, so Chang, Ming, Wong, Woo and Ling put their hand, and the bell did not make sound, they were so happy and proud, cause they said, “We are honest”. But the man told them hold up their hands, and Chang, Ming, Wong, Woo and Ling, had  dust gold in their hands, so they did not return gold to the emperor.


They were not honest.
