decided to bring his family to the USA after he
got married. In those days, people called it the
New World.

they get here from Ireland? Did they fly in an
aeroplane?

travelled for weeks to get here. They had their
first child, my father – your great-grandfather –
a year after they arrived in the USA.

Ireland?

My friend Colin and I have dreamed for years about
winning money in the lottery. On 3rd October we bought a
lottery ticket and we won a lot of money! We were thrilled!
We have already decided what to do with the money. First,
we’re going to put some of the money in the bank. Then,
we’re going to have a big party for our friends. Next, we’re
going to buy things for our rooms. Colin will probably buy
a computer and a TV and I’m going to get some new
furniture for my room. We also want to buy something for
our families. I’m going to buy my mum a new fridge and
Colin is going to buy his dad a new car. Finally, we’re
