Man: Did you grow up there? Woman: Yes, I did. But my family moved here eight years ago when I was in high school. Man: And where did you learn the rollerblade? Woman; Here in the park. This is only my second time. Man: Well, it’s my first time. Can you give me some lessons? Woman: Sure, just follow me Man: By the way. My name is Ted. Woman: And I’m Anna. Nice to meet you. Man: Hey, hey! That was fun. Thanks for the lesson. Woman: No problem. So, tell me a little about yourself. What do you do? Man: I work in a travel agency. Woman: Really? What do you do there? Man: I’m in charge of their computers. Woman: Oh, so you’re a computer specialist? Man: Well, sort of. Yeah, I guess so. Woman: That’s great.

Yu Hong: I came here after I graduated from college. That was in 1992. Reporter: And what do you do now? Yu Hong: I’m a transportation engineer. Reporter: I see. So you’re an immigrant to the United State? Yu Hong: Yes, that’s right. Reporter: What are some of the difficulties of being an immigrant in the US? Yu Hong: Oh, that’s not an easy question to answer. There are so many things, really. I guess one of the most difficulties is that I don’t have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends. But that’s not the same thing. In China, on holidays or the weekend, we visit the relatives. It isn’t the same here. Reporter: And what do you miss the most from home? Yu Hong: Oh, that’s easy. My mom’s soup. She makes great soup. I really miss my mother’s cooking. 第
