Hello. My name’s Trevor. I’m a
journalist. This is a picture of me.
It’s what the newspaper puts on

both here in the UK and abroad. I
try not to get upset, but it’s sometimes very hard.

holidays or even in our jobs for business, but we know that we
can go back home anytime we want. Sometimes it’s not our
decision to travel abroad, especially when we’re young. Our
parents may decide they want to move to a foreign country.
We have to go with them, even if we don’t want to. It’s diffi cult
for us to leave our friends behind. But most of us can make
new friends easily and the important thing is that we’re with
our families. And, when we’re older, we’re free to make our
own decisions and go back to our home country if we want to.
In fact, when we’re older we can choose to go to any country
