BIn Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place. Asians are immigrating（移民） to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than

19、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 S

20、tates, 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.

21、han in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to Southeast Asia to work while their children study in the West.

22、s do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid.” Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” 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 kid

23、” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well.
