How Life in My Home Country Differs from Life in the US
myself as carpenter after saving some money. I started
buying distressed houses then fixing and remodeling them. I
sell the homes for some profit investing some of it for the
next one. Right now I’m working on one here in Fort
Myers. My objective now is to learn English because I
know that it will help me to overcome many of the
limitations I have in my work. That’s is the big difference
between my country Cuba and the Unites States. Here, with
hard work, you can make a future for you and your family.
In my country you never can obtain that; no matter how
hard you work. This is a great country. With hard work
and dedication we can make it better for the next
generation.

Different Ways of Living
Life in my country, Haiti, differs from life in the United
States of America for three reasons. The languages are
different, the cultures are different, and the statuses are also
different. First, the languages are different. In Haiti we
speak Creole and French. In the United States of America
they speak English. Next, the cultures are different. In Haiti
Voodoo is very popular. Even though some people are
Christian Baptist or Catholic, most of them still practice
Voodoo. The foods are also different. The American people
like fast food while the Haitian people enjoy eating rice and
beans and other different kinds of food. Last, the statuses
are different. The United States of America is much richer
than Haiti. In the United States of America there is a
plethora of opportunities. The American precepts are
different from the Haitian precepts. For example, in the
United State of America at 18 years old a child is no longer
under his parents’ control, but in my country it is
completely different. In conclusion, life in Haiti differs from
life in the United States of America.
