Let 's practice!

Read the story and answer the comprehension questions.

Ana & Pedro

I am Ana. I am from Guatemala. I am 20 years old. My brother, Pedro is here too.

Pedro is 19 years old. We both study English at CCC. We are Spanish-speakers. Pedro and
I have black hair and black eyes. We are not tall, and we are not thin. We are average in
height and weight.

We live with our aunt and uncle. We live in an apartment near a park. Our apartment
is on the ground floor. There is a patio outside our back door. Next to the patio is the park.
There are paths for walking and a playground for kids. It is really nice. We are outside on
sunny days. However, there are not many trees! On hot days, there is not much shade.

We like Oregon, but we are homesick for Guatemala. We are not really “sick”. We
just miss our country and its culture. Our mom is in Guatemala. She is a great “pupusa”
cook. Pupusas are a thick corn tortilla filled with beans and meat. We are homesick for her
and her cooking. We are also tired of the cold! We prefer a warmer climate. However, we
like the green trees and blue skies of Oregon. The people are so nice, too! Oregonians are
friendly and helpful people.
