At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where      people can become rich.

“       don’t I go to America?” he said to himself, full of hope.

So, my father came to America. “ I had thought it was easy to     money in America,” he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire（雇佣） me because I spoke      English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables,      dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was      for the first few years.
