As an exchange student, I’m now living with the Bakers on their farm in California, a state of the southeast of USA. Mr. and Mrs. Barker are farmers. They have a son named Tom and a daughter named Linda. Tom and I are the same age and Linda is 18, two years older than us. Tom is a student in a high school and Linda attends a college. Every morning the Barkers and I get up early. We often have a big breakfast. Whenever I have free time and on weekends, I help the Barkers with the farm work. Most of the farm work is done by machine. However, they seem busy all the time. At first, I found rather difficult to understand what they said; I couldn’t hear them clearly, but now things are going well. My English is getting better and better. The interesting thing is that Tom and Linda now can speak Vietnamese. I am enjoying my time here.
