MY FIRST YEAR IN MINNESOTA


I would like to tell you about my first year in Minnesota.
My name is Vladimir. I came to Minnesota with my parents last year, in June 1st.
When I came here, I didn’t know even any words about English, I just spoke Russian, and I had headaches when the people said something. It was like a big noise, and it was hard.
Also it was hard, the different time, we came afternoon, but in Russia it was morning. I needed time to adjust, to get used to things here.
I was surprised when I saw the clouds, it was closer to the ground, than in Russia. Also I was glad surprised, when I saw highways, and roads in the cities, it’s better than in my country.
The first time when I tried the food, it was different with Russia, I didn’t like it. I didn’t like milk, bread, sausages, and almost all of vegetables. Few time later I adjusted to eat that, and something from that I begun to like it. There I was really pessimistic about everything.
