Questions 20 to 23 are based on the following passage.
Traveling to another country where you know no one can be very challenging and
frustrating. It’s even worse if you don’t know the language. When I had the opportunity to go
to the United States to learn English, I realized how ignorant I was and how difficult a new
life could be.
It was very challenging for me to get used to the language and the way people lived. On
my first day of school, while entering the classroom, Mr. Erickson asked me, “What’s your
name?” Very quietly and shy I replied, “Yes.” The classroom filled up with laugher. I was
confused but soon I understood. It was difficult for me to get used to the accent. Whenever I
wanted to ask or say something in English, the students should start laughing and making fun
of me. I had trouble in school because I barely received help from my teachers and
classmates. I would cry myself to sleep for almost one year.All I wanted to do was go back to
Mexico because I just couldn’t deal with things anymore. I hated school so bad.
However, throughout the years I started to improve. My writing skills increased, my
pronunciation was clearer, and my grades got better. I felt so proud of myself and of what I
had accomplished. My ignorance decreased by a lot. Coming here made me a better person
because now I know much more. It’s difficult at the beginning of the journey but throughout
time you see how things will get better sooner or later. I didn’t give up; instead I kept on
trying for my parents and for myself. I wouldn’t change anything that happened to me
