Assignment 1.13 Use of Transitions

To begin with, as new people from distant lands enter into the United States, they should learn how to speak and write our English language. In addition, some try to learn the general basics before immigrating into the United States, so they do not feel overwhelmed learning our processes for writing or speaking. In comparison, I have heard that our language is much more difficult to learn when compared to the French language. First, some new comers attend classes to learn English. As the newcomers become accustom to using our language they become comfortable extending their knowledge to members of their own family or friends arriving here for a better life. For example, there are several places and even some colleges offering classes to help people adjust to using English more in their daily life. By contrast, you find the younger people willing to learn the new language compared to their elders. Additionally, our schools have added resources to help the younger children adjust to English so they can communicate with the teacher and their classmates. For instance, in my job I have had to communicate through the younger children in the home to offer care to the adults in the home. This is hard because you have to ask direct questions about their health and daily activities. I hope that as people come into the United States more and more try to learn our language to make communication easier.
