in class:
on friday, we continued watching the video. we saw some of the people who got to go to america try to learn how to turn on lamps and light switches, explore the refrigerator, and eat different kinds of food. then they had to get a job in order to start paying the bills and to pay for the plane ticket. they said they liked working because they could make money to buy whatever they would like. and even though they are in america, they still didn't forget about their family back in sudan.
