Paper 1 Language B Blog Hello my dear follower, I hope you are having a good week, thanks for always read me and give me your supportive comments. I recently had a conversation with my grandpa, Martin, he was telling me his perspective about how he felt affected by our moving, because we were living in Ontario, we had an agriculture land in there, but my mom had a job proposal and now, we are living in Toronto in the most populated zone, so it is a very hard change for us. My grandpa told me that he misses a lot our beauty cottage and our wheat crops, also he considers that our incomes increased nowadays but he thinks that in our old town, he was more open to do what he loves. But I am here to explain you how this affected me and what I think that migration means. First of all, I really think that everyone takes migration in different ways, a lot of people think that migration help them to thrive, to have more job opportunities, have more access to services or just to be near of society. Well, that’s a point of view and I think that is ok, but in my case, migration is a meaningful change that sometimes takes a lot of time to process, a lot of people lost their identity due to migration. A lot of people that migrates to a different country are discriminated just for their appearance. In the other hand, we can´t close our mind, you can´t bury your head in the sand, migration is also a good way to upgrade our society, to be open-minded people and improve our world for new generations. Migration can teach us another version of the world, we learn about other cultures, countries, traditions and languages that give us a broad knowledge. That’s why I write this blog, like a call of action to you, to reflect how do you consider migration affect your life and how can you improve that. It is very important that you take in count the diverse perspectives.
Blog Hello, I am here because I want to tell you that I moved when a I was a child from Montpelier to New York city, so, It was a big change, because, I moved from rural area to a city, because we needed a modern life. I know that this types of changes leave good and bad consequences, and I´m going talk with you about that. Although I moved a lot time ago (when a I was 10 years old) recently my grandfather called me to talk about some consequences that he notes, and that is the principal theme that I’m going talk with you. I talked with my grandfather 1 day ago, he start with tell me all the bad aspects, and he say that my grandmother is sad every day because she misses us. That hurt me because I love her and also, I miss her, so, when I heard that I just felt that I needed hug her. Then my grandfather said me that although she is sad, she is proud and happy cause I have a better future here with the thigs that I long for. Other bad aspect that he mentioned was that he is so worried because they are 80 years old and the years continue to pass and they don´t have anybody to take care of them in a years because we lived with my grandparents, but when we moved they were left alone. Then my mother said that she going to pay to someone to take care of them, so in than moment I calm me down. My grandfather also mentioned good aspects. He said that live in the city is good for us because here are more opportunities for my parents in the job, and for me in my studies and for my goals, and that is true. He also mentioned that here we have more medical services, so our health is more protected, and he said here are a more social life and I can learn a lot about the people for that. Regardless all that aspects I think that this move was incredible because I need this to my personal and professional growth, and is a good help to my fathers. besides we will visit to my grandparents very often, so, that is not a problem.

Have you ever thought about emigrate to another country just for work? Well guys, that’s my life, I was born in Costa Rica specially in Turrialba, this place is a small town, with a low possibility of job, because it’s a rural place, so the principal jobs are such as: farmer, trucker and another kind of rural jobs. When I was 14 years old my father was unemployed, because we were farmers, but our farm was affected by the bad weather conditions, so we don´t have money and we were going through bad times. My aunt told my dad about emigrate to USA, searching the American dream, it sounds unreal, because they talked about an economy stable, easy jobs and every good thing you can imagine, it sounds like we will be rich people. My family emigrated to USA with my grandfather, my grandmother, my aunt and her family. The last week I visited my grandfather in his house, we talked about our first year in United State, he told me how the move affected our whole family, I was surprised because I never thought it happened to my family. He told me my dad didn’t find a job in two years because we didn’t have documents in those years, my mom had the dream to become a singer, but she started to work in a restaurant as a waitress, that means she doesn’t have the opportunity to achieve her dream. My father couldn’t pay the money my aunt gave to him, and she was really stressed because she doesn’t have more money that causes illness to her, my grandmother was deported and when she came back to Costa Rica, she was alone, nowadays she lives in London and she can’t have the documents to live in USA. The conversation with my grandfather made me become aware about all the effects of migration, because I never thought if we had some bad moments or something like that, now I realize how was our life and maybe it was better if we never moved to USA, because our American dream wasn’t that good dream, but nowadays I’m 19 years old, and I’ve a good life here in USA with my family. It was hard to leave all my life in Costa Rica, and my grandmother. I’ll read your opinions in comments.

When she finally find a new job in other country that is Canada was a miracle, unfortunately my aunts can’t travel whit us. Always, my family are so united and whit this situation the heart of my grandfathers broke. My grandfather always hates the computers and cellphones but when he discovers that whit this technology can talk face to face whit his daughters all the discontent disappeared. He learned to use WhatsApp, Zoom and Facebook and finally 2 years ago my aunt’s obtain the sufficient money for migrate and Karla (my older aunt) achieved a transfer at work. When my grandmother listened the notice, the happiness was reflected in her eyes. Unfortunately, Canada close its doors because arrive a terrible diseases that devastated all the world. My grandmother suffer from diabetes, big heart and thanks to this situation, she had depression. Ear that can’t see her daughters and the quantify of dead in the world generated anxiety and a big fear. Thank Good, my family achieved pass this problem and in the actuality are a united family that we were in the past. I wanted to tell this history because I really wait that serve as support and see how always exist a small light of hope. And just like is the case of my family, all misfortune has its reward.

Eliécer How my family left my country 26th August 2024 Good morning, everyone, ten years ago I lived in a rural place of Venezuela, with the peaceful of the bird’s songs, the quiet people and the greens landscapes. I lived with my grandfather, my grandmother, my little sister and my uncle Pablo. But one day, the economy of the country had a bigger decrease because the actions of some politicians and we need to leave owr rural home and arrived at an unknown city. This really affected to my family, although I did not understand the causes of abandon owr place of birth, my grandfather explained to me the reasons of that. When the dictator Hugo Chávez died, Nicolás Maduro took the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, although Chávez was hated for the population, the situation was not critically, but Maduro arrived to took the power and did somethings that was terrible for the people, for example, stop the importation of medicines in the country, stop the oil exportation to abroad, attack many famous people or support the communism. My grandfather says that these aspects affected to the economy of the family because many agencies does not have money to pay the salary of my uncle, and my their does not have money to the pension, for that, me and my sister does not have possibility to study. The one option was left owr home and migrate to Colombia. In Colombia, the people are very kind, and the Bogotá city is very beautiful, but in the night, is very dangerous go out to the street, because the criminality is very common in this place. Now, I have twenty years and I like lived in Colombia because learn a new culture and meet a new people is important to the mental health, but the peaceful of lived in my place of birth does not compare to the risks of the bad people and look many people treating to scape of the corruption of the dictatorships like me, is horrible and I think that the people need to reflect to how the bad actions affect other people and what benefits have the evil.

Hello followers! I hope you had a great weekend; today I want to share the history of my immigration, to be honest, I didn’t know why my family immigrated to United States and what it causes in our life, but yesterday I was taking with my grandfather, and he explained a lot of things to me about Spain, that is the country that we come from; also why we decided to come to United States and which effects it had in our life. First, he told me that we didn’t live in an urban location, so, they didn’t have a good job; my parents and grandparents started to have a bad economy situation, and they needed to get more money, because I was a child. My family had a piece of fertile land, and they used to sow there, but the production of vegetables wasn’t a good business. Once they got the enough money to pay the visa and they had the necessary things to move to USA, we did it; but, there was a problem and it was that my family didn’t have a job and they didn’t speak English very good, for that reason, my father started to work in a constructor company and he got a better position in it. My mom decided to study, and she became in a secretary; once my mom started to work my father decided to study too to become in a businessman. My parents learned English, and I started to go to the school, I learned English there; actually I have learned Spanish, because my family speak it sometimes; my grandpa has a lot of free time so he learned English by himself, he have taken care of my since I was a child and it helps to him to practice the language with me. Finally, one thing that affect to my family, was that they lost their friends, they don’t have contact with them nowadays; and they miss the other family members of our family. To be honest I didn’t remember my others family members, but I can understand their feeling. In conclusion, I believe that the most part of effects were for my parents, because I learned to speak English easily, but they didn’t; also, was a difficult situation for my parents found a job. They lost the contact with their friends, but they met knew people here, and they are awesome people too. What do you think about my history? Would you migrate?
My move from a rural town to the big city. 17 April, 2018
Is it difficult to adapt to the urban environment when you come from a rural area? So, I’m going to tell you my experience, and also how this change affects my family and me. I spent my whole childhood in my native state, where my family and I were really happy; but, why did we decide to move from Grant County that is located in Nebraska to the big city, New York?
Well, my family always wanted to have better job opportunities, although they harvested and sold the fruits and veggies, the money gained wasn’t enough to pay for our needs, also the weather was terrible, and that affected the economy too. When one of my relatives was sick my father had to take it to the hospital and that took a long time, so for that and other not really important reasons we decided to move to New York. I remember the day we moved, I was nine and I was really excited but also so blue to leave my house and all of my friends there.
Now I’m seventeen and one of these days I sat with my grandpa and he started to tell me how the move from Grant County to New York has affected all of my relatives. He told me that the pollution of the city is definitely disastrous and because of that my family but my Aunt in particular is really sick. He also told me that this is because we came from a really green and clean place, where the air is very clean, so he’s worried about that and our lives. Furthermore my mom is always telling us that she missed the rural life and the urban life is not for her. I really like to live here, I have everything so near, our apartment is very secure and I know my family also likes this life, but they are just being nostalgic.
Therefore, I really like to recommend this style of life, now my job offers are incredible and my family is always near to the medical services, that are things I didn’t have before.
Blog Hi guys, I feel very happy to be able to publish a new story about my life, today I want to tell them my history and my family about when we moved from a rural area to the city when I was a child. A few days ago, I sat with my grandfather and he explain to me about all the changes and some problems that my family had, he told me that when they arrive in the city, they had nothing and finding a house was very difficult because the rent had a high price and the size of the place was a small, also, in the city specifically in the street there is a lot of garbage and my family likes to take care of the environment so they felt bad, my grandfather also told me that it was difficult to find a job because most were in offices and they worked whit a field, for example they harvested vegetables and he sold them to other people, but in the city people bought more other things for example; Clothing, electronic items and cosmetics. When my family had those problems, I don’t remember almost anything because I was very small, but I remember my time in the school that thanks to living in the city I was able to have a great education and when I had to enter in the university I had may options to choose to study there, also in the city de medical services is excellent because here is more technology in medicine, I remember when my mother had an accident and in the hospital the attention was incredible. In my opinion living in the city, it’s nice because in my experience I meet a new people, a have a more job opportunities and is easier get to other places because here exist the taxis and the public transportation but I know that family misses living in the field every day. Finally, I love the city but always enjoy my vacations in the field. Thank you for reading my blog, see you next time!
Hi! how are you guys? I´d like to know about those environmental problems that are affecting our community! I know there are many people who are also interested in that! let's share and communicate your findings please!

Hello my dear follower, I hope you are having a good week, thanks for always read me and give me your supportive comments. I recently had a conversation with my grandpa, Martin, he was telling me his perspective about how he felt affected by our moving, because we were living in Ontario, we had an agriculture land in there, but my mom had a job proposal and now, we are living in Toronto in the most populated zone, so it is a very hard change for us. My grandpa told me that he misses a lot our beauty cottage and our wheat crops, also he considers that our incomes increased nowadays but he thinks that in our old town, he was more open to do what he loves. But I am here to explain you how this affected me and what I think that migration means.
First of all, I really think that everyone takes migration in different ways, a lot of people think that migration help them to thrive, to have more job opportunities, have more access to services or just to be near of society. Well, that’s a point of view and I think that is ok, but in my case, migration is a meaningful change that sometimes takes a lot of time to process, a lot of people lost their identity due to migration. A lot of people that migrates to a different country are discriminated just for their appearance.
In the other hand, we can´t close our mind, you can´t bury your head in the sand, migration is also a good way to upgrade our society, to be open-minded people and improve our world for new generations. Migration can teach us another version of the world, we learn about other cultures, countries, traditions and languages that give us a broad knowledge.

BorrarHello followers! I hope you had a great weekend; today I want to share the history of my immigration, to be honest, I didn’t know why my family immigrated to United States and what it causes in our life, but yesterday I was taking with my grandfather, and he explained a lot of things to me about Spain, that is the country that we come from; also why we decided to come to United States and which effects it had in our life.
ResponderBorrarFirst, he told me that we didn’t live in an urban location, so, they didn’t have a good job; my parents and grandparents started to have a bad economy situation, and they needed to get more money, because I was a child. My family had a piece of fertile land, and they used to sow there, but the production of vegetables wasn’t a good business.
Once they got the enough money to pay the visa and they had the necessary things to move to USA, we did it; but, there was a problem and it was that my family didn’t have a job and they didn’t speak English very good, for that reason, my father started to work in a constructor company and he got a better position in it. My mom decided to study, and she became in a secretary; once my mom started to work my father decided to study too to become in a businessman.
My parents learned English, and I started to go to the school, I learned English there; actually I have learned Spanish, because my family speak it sometimes; my grandpa has a lot of free time so he learned English by himself, he have taken care of my since I was a child and it helps to him to practice the language with me.
Finally, one thing that affect to my family, was that they lost their friends, they don’t have contact with them nowadays; and they miss the other family members of our family. To be honest I didn’t remember my others family members, but I can understand their feeling.
In conclusion, I believe that the most part of effects were for my parents, because I learned to speak English easily, but they didn’t; also, was a difficult situation for my parents found a job. They lost the contact with their friends, but they met knew people here, and they are awesome people too. What do you think about my history? Would you migrate?
My move from a rural town to the big city.

Is it difficult to adapt to the urban environment when you come from a rural area?
So, I’m going to tell you my experience, and also how this change affects my family and me.
I spent my whole childhood in my native state, where my family and I were really happy; but, why did we decide to move from Grant County that is located in Nebraska to the big city, New York?
Well, my family always wanted to have better job opportunities, although they harvested and sold the fruits and veggies, the money gained wasn’t enough to pay for our needs, also the weather was terrible, and that affected the economy too. When one of my relatives was sick my father had to take it to the hospital and that took a long time, so for that and other not really important reasons we decided to move to New York.
I remember the day we moved, I was nine and I was really excited but also so blue to leave my house and all of my friends there.
Now I’m seventeen and one of these days I sat with my grandpa and he started to tell me how the move from Grant County to New York has affected all of my relatives. He told me that the pollution of the city is definitely disastrous and because of that my family but my Aunt in particular is really sick. He also told me that this is because we came from a really green and clean place, where the air is very clean, so he’s worried about that and our lives.
Furthermore my mom is always telling us that she missed the rural life and the urban life is not for her. I really like to live here, I have everything so near, our apartment is very secure and I know my family also likes this life, but they are just being nostalgic.
Therefore, I really like to recommend this style of life, now my job offers are incredible and my family is always near to the medical services, that are things I didn’t have before.

ResponderBorrarHi guys, I feel very happy to be able to publish a new story about my life, today I want to tell them my history and my family about when we moved from a rural area to the city when I was a child.
A few days ago, I sat with my grandfather and he explain to me about all the changes and some problems that my family had, he told me that when they arrive in the city, they had nothing and finding a house was very difficult because the rent had a high price and the size of the place was a small, also, in the city specifically in the street there is a lot of garbage and my family likes to take care of the environment so they felt bad, my grandfather also told me that it was difficult to find a job because most were in offices and they worked whit a field, for example they harvested vegetables and he sold them to other people, but in the city people bought more other things for example; Clothing, electronic items and cosmetics.
When my family had those problems, I don’t remember almost anything because I was very small, but I remember my time in the school that thanks to living in the city I was able to have a great education and when I had to enter in the university I had may options to choose to study there, also in the city de medical services is excellent because here is more technology in medicine, I remember when my mother had an accident and in the hospital the attention was incredible.
In my opinion living in the city, it’s nice because in my experience I meet a new people, a have a more job opportunities and is easier get to other places because here exist the taxis and the public transportation but I know that family misses living in the field every day.
Finally, I love the city but always enjoy my vacations in the field.
Thank you for reading my blog, see you next time!
Great
