Cultural questions + The story of an immigrant

Hi guys,

today you first had to answer the final questions of your worksheet ("29 questions to become an American citizen"). 

Then we continued the lesson with creativity. You had to invent a story based on the picture of this woman:

You did quite a good job!

Here is what you said:

The story of an immigrant:

Her name is Francesca Indiana. She arrived in the USA at 28 in the 1920's. She came from Roumania. She travelled with her 2 children but she left her father behind and her husband died.

When she separated from her family she was sad. She immigrated because she wanted to have a job and a lot of money. She wanted to start a new life.

Her journey lasted 20 days. During the travel, she met a man called Jacob.

She wasn't in good health because she lived and slept in horrid conditions. It was difficult because she didn't know how to speak, and write good English.

Irregular verbs in the preterite:

come / leave / be / meet / sleep
