Carla's American Adventure

Carla is from Mexico and visits the United States for a two-week homestay. She wants to learn English and understand American culture. The Brown family welcomes her into their home. They live in a small town with quiet streets and green yards. Carla has her own room, which is simple but comfortable.

Each morning, Carla eats breakfast with Mr. and Mrs. Brown and their daughter, Amy. They drink orange juice and eat pancakes or cereal. After breakfast, Carla walks to school with Amy.
