题目内容:
In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellites kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are immigrating (移居) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. In Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result. Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West. So these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kids”.
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kids” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kids” means to grow up in such a country, you know you are different and you can’t make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are not here.
