GOALS:
The ESL Program of the Indochinese Self-Help Project is designed to meet the
following goals:
1. To increase the knowledge and use of English language skills, which will
be utilized in applying for and maintaining jobs within the community .
2. To increase the social conversational skills of each student focusing on
pronunciation and correct grammatical usage of idiomatic expressions.
3. To provide the students with a working knowledge of basic consumer/environmental skills necessary for survival within the community.
4. To increase the student's knowledge of and experience with American cultural expectations and attitudes which will be achieved through:
1) discussions 2) readings 3) films 4) guest speakers.
5. To incorporate within our information:
1) discussion on the culture
2) history and background of each individual 3) difficulties involved
in the adoptation of another language and culture with respect to their
own.
METHODS:
The methods by which these goals are met incorporate the interaction of the
educational system, the staff, and the community at large.
1. The program is developmental i n structure.
They are:
Each day and each week's ma-
terials are designed to build upon and be directly related to the previous
da y's/week's instruction.
By this, we will establish a secure foundation
of Conversational English that is geared towards eareer development.
2. The ESL Instructor will work closely with the Job Developer to develop a
daily and weekly curriculum which will meet the needs of the specific
�-2-
students and to find resources by which those needs may be met.
3. The bilingual staff will tutor students in areas where they are having
difficulty learning.
Tape recorders will be used in tutoring sessions,
as well as in daily class -drills.
4. We will draw directly upon the resource personnel of the community by
requesting individuals to speak to the class on such related topics as:
Educational Options for Adults, Skill Training Programs, Insurance, and
Community Services for Children and their Families.
CONTENT:
The following is a list of topics that were covered over the course of the
three months, employing various methods of teaching, including:
class dis-
cussions, small group discussions, role playing, audio/visual materials,
conversational drill, and guest speakers .
Expressions and use of time
Job interviews
Using the telephone
Housing
Money
Food
Health maintenance
Clothing
Insurance
Libraries
Banking
Classified ads
Using maps
Public transportation
Home economics
Prejudice
/
American cultural mores
Idiomatic expressions
Correct grammatical usage was taught as it applied to the days' lessons
only - not as a separate subject.
�-3-
EVALUATION:
Students completing ESL Basic Skills should be able to:
-Ask and answer questions related to daily living and other subjects
familiar to the client.
-Understand simple statements and questions addressed to them within
their limited language scope and be able to ask for clarification
when necessary.
-Be understood by native speakers paying close attention after repetition and clarification, since errors in pronounciation and grammar
will probably be frequent.
-Possess vocabulary adequate for daily living needs, but probably inadequate for complex situations or ideas.
-Read essential forms, numbers, labels, signs, and simple written survival information.
-Fill out essential forms and write name, address, phone number, and
make emergency requests.

PROGRESS REPORT
FINAL
October 1, 1980 - December 31, 1981
Submitted by;
Jacqueline M. Fidler,
Project director
�INDOCHINESE REFUGEES FOUNDATION, INC.
Executive Summary
The Indochinese Refugees Foundation was awarded a small demonstration
grant by the Office of Refugees Resettlement for October 1, 1980 through
December 31, 1981. Enclosed is the fifth and final Progress Report of
the works of the Foundation under that grant. The original proposal was
for the Foundation to provide ESL and Employment Services to 30 refugees
and Support Services to 250 refugees. The Foundation was able to far
exceed those goals by taking a small Self-Help Project and working it into
a comprehensive Community Center by utilizing and organizing the many
invaluable resources within each ethnic group and by working cooperatively
with other service agencies to maximize the resources of all.
Within a few short months, the Project became the focal point of services
for refugees. By establishing an effective referral network, both the
refugees and the service agencies knew where to turn for advice, information
and assistance with their problems. By assuming this lead role as the
community agency for refugees, others were more willing to work cooperatively
in meeting the needs of the refugees.
Within the refugee community we were able to strengthen our own
organization and to provide assistance to the new ethnic specific MAA's
such as the Laos Community of Lowell, and the Cambodian Association of
Lowell. These associations took numerous referrals for interpreter requests
voluntarily. They cooperated with us in organizing monthly orientation
sessions where they were able to share important information. Through
these associations, we became a truly community based organization. Similarly,
we worked with other community groups to organize the Indochinese Refugees
Services Steering Committee, where agencies, church groups and other
providers have met for the past year to plan and coordinate services to
the community.
By working within the community in this manner, the Project had a
rippling impact that went far beyond our original goals. In addition to
coordinating our own local groups and agencies, we attempted to share the
benefits of the grant with agencies and mutual assistance associations from
all over New England. By sponsoring a Cross Cultural Symposium, two grantwriting workshops and by co-sponsoring the first annual New England MAA
Conference, we assisted in the training of over 800 MAA leaders, agency,
health and educational professionals.
In these ways, the Foundation sought maximum use of the funds granted to
us by ORR.
_,
During the last quarter, a financial audit and an independent evaluation
of the ISHP were conducted. Both showed clearly that the Foundation had
effectively and professionally utilized the federal grant to service refugees
in our area.
Finally, the Foundation participated in a highly competitive, open bid
RFP process to the Department of Social Services. Based on the credibility
established through the works of the Foundation during the past year and the
merits of the proposed Project, the Foundation was awarded a contract of $83,000.
The Foundation was the only agency awarded funding in the Lowell area to service
refugees.

OUTREACH/INFORMATION AND REFERRAL

Outreach
One of the greatest strengths of this Project has been the ability of
this organization to reach out to its community.
As an MAA, the Foundation
maintains a direct line of communication with the Southeast Asian Community
which is often inaccessible to other agencies.
During the past quarter, we
continued to establish extensive person to person contact with the refugee
community and to send announcements, calendars, and newsletters.
I-a has examples of this material.
Appendix
We are working in the direction of some-
day transforming the Self Help Project into a multiservice center where
refugees would feel at ease to drop in and share with one another their
personal happiness and their individual problems, from religious worship to
community entertainment.
Information and Referral
During the last quarter, we successfully referred 369 refugees to
alternative services.

The greatest demand is for interpreter services and

such topics as:
The classes emphasized competency based ESL and stressed

Students were tested on a regular basis to identify problems and progress.
Each student did achieve progress during the three months and each received
a certificate of completion on December 22, 1981.

The greatest difficulty to overcome was the students' resistance to
practice conversation.
However, students progressed quickly in conversation-
al abilities and comprehension, more slowly in writing abilities.
We
attribute this progress to the use of bilingual staff and to the curriculum
designed by the ESL Coordinator.
The bilinguals were not only able to provide
much needed interpretation, but also to inspire confidence in the students
to practice their new learned English.
They accomplished this by effecting
a community-like atmosphere at the Project.
English classes did not
begin and end at scheduled times; but often went much longer, giving students
longer periods of practice.
The curriculum offered students ample opportunity
to learn subjects directly related to their lives, which provoked them to
study intensely.
�SECTION IV
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

Employment
In the previous quarter, we placed a total of 41 students in jobs and
8 students into skill training programs, bringing the success rate to
78% of the 70 students who were accepted into our program.
Since that time,
we placed an additional 19 students into jobs and 12 more into skill training,
bringing our total for the year to 60 job placements and 20 skill training
placements.
This more than triples our original goal of 30 placements.
(Table I found in the previous section shows these statistics.)
The success of this component of the program depended on a number of
methods used by the Project staff, both to introduce American employers to
Southeast Asians and vice versa.

In addition to serving as an assessment, these contacts
gave us the opportunity to establish relationships with prospective employers.
In addition, Job Counseling was offered to refugees both on an individual
and on a group basis.
Job Clinics were held in September which focused on
job hunting, resume writing, interviewing, etc.
The staff formed a team approach for Employment Services.
Each client
and staff person had a responsibility in securing successful placements.
The
Job Developer cultivated and maintained communication with prospective
employers in order to develop jobs.
Together with the ESL Coordinator, and
bilingual staff, job-ready clients were referred within 24 hours to prospective
employers to fill openings.
As a result of this strategy refugees participated
in 106 job interviews.
These interviews were immediately followed by a telephone conversation to
the employer to answer any questions and to reinforce the qualifications of the

client and to insure that the staff would remain involved until both the employee
and employer were satisfied.
This process seemed to insure success and to
eliminate problems before they interfered with the placement.

As can be seen, the jobs, for the most part, are in larger firms, offering
more comprehensive and secure benefits to our clients.
These placements will
help to prevent a revolving return of clients to our program and therefore
have a long term effect on the community.
�SECTION V
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
�6.
Organizational Development
On October 31, 1981, the IRF co-sponsored the first annual Regional
MAA Conference geared at developing the technical expertise of MAA's, and
a network of information and support between organizations.
The day
featured speakers such as Diana Bui of the Indochinese Refugee Action Center,
Washington, D.C. and Mr. Pho Ba Long, co-director of the Orientation Research Center, Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, D.C.
Each
offered invaluable insights into the present and potential role of MAA's in
the resettlement and cultural development of Southeast Asians in the United
States.
The afternoon featured ethnic discussions, facilitated by cross-cultural
experts.
These discussions were conducted in Lao, Vietnamese, and Cambodian.
From these discussions came a summary, list of problems and resolutions
which were presented to attending state coordinators.
These resolutions can be summarized into the following areas:
1.
Comprehensive technical assistance programs to increase the capacity
of our refugee self-help groups.
*
Appeal for cooperation from both the public and private sectors.
*
Appeal for support to national and local training and technical
programs to be provided by professional organizations.
2.
Funding to enable our self-help groups to provide quality services to
incoming refugees and to respond to the unique needs of specific
refugee populations.
3.
Community Centers that can initially provide supportive social and
cultural services, later moving on towards the following long-term
�7
goals:
*
Cultural preservation
*
*
Advocacy within both the public and private sectors
Consolidation and economic development of the ethnic community
so as to become a positive force in American society.
There were over 100 participants in this day-long event.
From the
evaluations we received, it seemed that most leaders gained a lot from the
information shared and are anxious to effect more cooperative relationships.
The impact of this conference continues to be felt as ¥.A.A's work with their
newly formed contacts and newly acquired information.
Since State Coordinators
from the three New England states attended, they also became more aware of the
growing need to integrate MAA's into refugee resettlement.
All of the
papers, resolutions, and agenda, distributed at the conference can be found
in Appendix V.
This grant had a tremendous impact overall, not only on our
mutual assistance association; but also on those in our region.
The allowance
for training and consultants in our grant gave our board and staff an
opportunity to grow and develop expertise and to become a credible and effective
provider of services to refugees.
During the year we were able to sponsor a cross-cultural Symposium,
Two grant-writing workshops and an MAA conference.
The total served by these
training conferences was well over 700 leaders, representatives, and service
providers, in addition to the IRF Board and staff.
This will continue to
have a rippling effect and we hope that we can continue to serve the community
in this manner, because as an MAA we are able to bring a unique approach to
to cross-cultural orientation.

�SECTION VI
LOCAL MAA DEVELOPMENT

Local
~i.AA
Development
During the past year the IRF worked intensely to effect the formation
of ethnic-specific self-help groups.
The IRF has worked assisting these
groups to provide services to their own people and providing them with
technical assistance in developing their organizations.
By October, the Lao Community and Cambodian Associations of Lowell
had entered a proposal with the IRF to provide Support Services to their
own communities.
The IRF was awarded a contract and has negotiated sub-
contracts with these two groups to provide Outreach, Orientation, and
Interpreter Services.
This sub-contract is a milestone in the development of MAA involvement
in the provision of services to refugees.
It has a tremendous rippling
effect as it draws largely on the human resources within each community
and little on government dollars.
The IRF has worked with each group to
develop a realistic and comprehensive approach to assisting refugees.
Each community has faced the difficulties of any new organization with
determination to solve their problems and differences in order to meet
the long term goal of mutual assistance.
The IRF was able to effect this
cooperative effort by being consistent with community leaders about our
goals, and objectives and the methods we use to achieve them.
For example,
we not only spoke of shared responsibility, we included them in proposal
planning, negotiations, and finally, in sharing the funding.
As an MAA the IRF has always worked toward this goal and is very pleased
in finally achieving it.
There is much work to be done, but this first
grant has allowed us to make tremendous gains toward the development of true
mutual assistance.
�SECTION VII
COMMUNITY RESOURCES
�9
Community Resources
The Indochinese Self Help Project could not have been as successful
without the tremendous support it received from a wide variety of community
agencies and groups.
First, the International Institute of Lowell has
opened its doors to our organization and to refugees.
They have begun
to provide interpreter services, allowed the use of the building on weekends
for ethnic meetings and assisted over 100 refugees in applying for their
permanent resident status.
Church groups have also taken a very active role by providing volunteers,
donations, and various other forms of support to our Project.
They choose
to support our program because of the IRF's goal of self support which is
consistent with their own.
Their contributions have had an invaluable effect
on the refugee community by bringing hope and compassion.
St. Patrick's Church has not only brought a seemingly endless supply of
warm clothing, but has also begun to distribute much needed furniture and other
items.
Christ Church has donated money, volunteered as case workers and is
sponsoring a fund raising event on our behalf next month.
Church sponsored a Christmas Party for over 100 people.
Pelham Congregational
See Appendix for a
news clipping regarding the event.
Other formal arrangements were made with CETA to accept students into
training programs and to provide technical assistance to our staff.
Mr.
Bruce Akashian has sat on our Advisory Council for the duration of the
Project and has given us unlimited advice.
See Appendix VII for the letter
of cooperation that was sent with our proposal.
We have established a very supportive relationship with the City Manager's
�10
Office by working cooperatively in their efforts to integrate refugees into
this community.
Additionally, Patricia Talty, Affirmative Action Officer for
the City, has sat on our Advisory Council for the past year and has facilitated
a number of Orientation Seminars and has also offered advice on job opportunities
for refugees.
We have also been attempting to establish cooperative services
with the hospitals and clinics in the area with limited success.
We are very fortunate to have received the support and encouragement of
these various groups both formally and informally.
Though many of these
representatives were overwhelmed by the tremendous influx of refugees into
the city and consequently into their services, they continue to receive these
new clients with compassion and to put forth extraordinary effort to assist
them.
Appendix VII contains a complete composite of the letters of support we
have received during the past year.
�SECTION VIII
FINANCIAL REPORT
�11
Financial Report
As was mentioned, the IRF submitted a proposal to the Department of
Social Services for $140,000.
We were awarded a contract for $83,000 to
provide ESL, Employment Services, and Support Services.
The Executive
Summary found on page i gives a brief abstract of the current Project.
The unique component of this contract, mentioned previously, in Section
VI is the MAA sub contract for Support Services.
We are very pleased to
offer this same opportunity to provide Support Services that was offered
to us through the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
A financial audit was conducted by an accountant and it was found that
all the financial records balance and are in correct order.
this to be true is included in this financial report.
reports are enclosed also.
A letter certifying
Our financial status
All of the money excepting the closeout costs
of the Board were obligated by December 31, 1981.
is _ attached as well as a final revised budget.
A breakdown of those costs
The only outstanding obligation
of the grant is to print the final report and to distribute the findings.

records of the Indochinese Refugee Foundation for the
yea~
ending December 31,· 1981.

My ..examination was... made in act::orda:11ce with generally
.
accepted auditing standards.
I
.
not~d
that there was an under-
payment of $6.41 for F.I.C.A. and an overpayment of $3.00 for
Federal Tax Withheld, making a net underpayment of $ 3 ·~ 4]. in
the Payroll Deductions Account .
I called these minor dis-
crepancies to the attention of the Bookkeeper and I understand
that corrections we.r e made in January r 1982.
'·.
The balance in checking account . #3873-3 at the First Bank
•.
of Chelmsford, Ma., was $1 0 ,163. 05 and i n the payroll account
-was .83.
~he accoun~ing

'IO WHCM IT MAY O)NCERN:
This is a letter of supp:>rt f or the Indochinese Refugees Fourrlation's
prop:>sal for funding f or the ccming year.
I fully supp:>rt the w::irk of this agency ir1 areas of ESL , job
counseling, and suppcrt services. The Greater Lowell area is highly
.impactErl with a refuge population that is nearing 1 ,000. The high
rates of welfare depend.ency and lack of •services have put a .critical
drain on this City' s resources.
The Indochinese ProjeC't addresses the needs of ~is City for' a
corrmunity-basErl agency that ccx::>rdinates services f or ' refugees. Careful
review of their past perfonnance illustrates that they have a crErlible
and worthwhile progr am. Their prop:>sal for $,140,000 is both costef fective and crucial t o the successful integration of · th refugee
canmnity into low 11 , and I therefor e lend. it my f ull supp:>rt .

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCmN:
During recent conversation with *>. Jackie Fiddler, Director of the
Indochinese Self-Help Project, we learned that numbers of Indochinese
families in have been steadily growing in Lowell. Since the feeus of
the project is to assiat people in obta,ining job ,t raining and employment, we are i n f ull suppor t of its 9cmtin114tion.
The Department of Social Services sees families regularly whose tunotioning i s severely deteriorated. lack of a regular,. sufficient income is a major contributing factor to many families in trouble. .We
view t he Self ~elp Project as a means of preventing unemployinent and
eventual family disruption of the Indochinese residents of ~.
..
.
.
We look forward to a supportive, cooperative relationship with the '
Indochinese Self-Help Project..

Introduction to the United States (YNL Sec. 1, HMH Sec. 1 & 2)
(Please read through pages i-viii in YNL , )
Read 'Background Notes' (YNL, 2).
A.
Resettlement in the United States
Discuss the r e settlement process, and· the role. of . :
t he Volag (Volunt a ry Agenc y) and sponsor (YNL, 3).
B.
Your New life in the United States
There are many problems of adjusting to a new
culture. This is called 'culture shock' ( YNL, S; HMH, 14).
1. Community relations
The U.S. is a nation of immigrants (YNL, 6) particularly so Lowell . Conflicts and tensions
bwtween ethnic groups often occur. Refugees
will occasionally ecperience prejudice. Discuss
thi s expe rience •
2. Religious llfe
Religious treedom in the U.S. is important (YNL,7).
�3.
There is no official 'American Church'. A
refugee is free to practice his religion in
the U.S. Religious groups in the U.S. can help
the refugee in the resettlement process. They
may provide food, clothing and services.
American customs and behavior
Interacting with Americans will be difficult
in the beginning (YNL, 9). Americans are
friendly and outgoing. They prefer informality,
and believe it to be a sign of friendliness.
This can be seen in greetings and the use of
first names.
aJ greetings.
Usually quite informal. Shake hands, never bow.
(See
A New
Start Unit 1, 'Saying
Hello'~)
b) names.
Many Americans use informal shorter names.
Examples Samuel Johnson will be called 'Sam'
by his friends.
The family name (last name) comes second.
Examples John Smith's family name is Smith
(He is Mr. Smith.)
(See
A~
Start Unit 4, 'Names• .)
c) t ime
American time is 'on the dot'. If something
is supposed to happen at 8s00, it will begin
at 8sOO.) Americans value promptness and
may become angry if a per son is very late.
(See A ~ Start Unit 50, 'Time' ·)
d) gestures
They are cultural. What is polite in one
country may be rude in another.
e) l ei sure. activities
Americans schedule leisure time as well as
worl<time. Discuss some popular American
leisure activities.
C.
American Families
The nuclear family - father, mother and children is the basic unit of American family structure (YNL, 12).
D.
The United States Government
American government has three levelss local, state,
and federal (YNL 13). Each level has specific
functions and ofticials who are elected by American
�citizens to terms of stated years. Any citizen
in good standing over the age of 18 may vote.
1. Local governments
Local governments manage everyday matters, such
as gar bage collection, water and sewer service,
maintenance of police and fire departments, and
libraries.
2. State governments
State governments regulate sales and other taxes,
and manage services that are essential to residents of the states road maintenance, issuing
of drivers' licenses, etc.
3. Federal government
The federal government in Washington, D.C. has
three major divisions: the executive, the
judicial and the legislative branches.
II.
Law in the United States (YNL Sec. 9, HMH Sec. 1)
Read
~ Background
Notes' (YNL, 198).
Read through and discuss 'The Story of Mr. M' (YNL, 199).
In t he · united States, laws· are intended to protect your
rights (YNL, 201).
A.
Refugee Status and Citizenship
As a refugee you are entitled to many of the same
basic rights and fair treatment under the law as
everyone else living in· the U.S. (YNL, 202; HMH, 1).
1. When you entered this country you entered with
refugee status. You were given a I-94 form.
You must keep this form with you at all times.
2. Every January, all non-citizens must report their
addresses to the U.S. Attorney Gene ral. A form
is available free of charge at your post office
or INS (Immigration and Naturalization Gerili.ce)
office.
3. Every non-citizen of the U.S. must f ile a change
of address form (AR-11) with the nearest INS
office within 10 days of moving.
4. After you have lived here for one year, you may
apply to change your status to that of permanent
resident alien. You must do this before you can
apply for citizenship (naturalization).
S. After you have lived here for five years, including
six months in the state in which you apply, you
may apply for citizenship (naturalization). (See
6.
7.
HMM , 7.)
Your legal status affects your right to petition
for your close relatives to join y©u in the U.S.
Men must register for the draft if they are 18
years or older and living in the U.S.

Freedom Under Law
In the United States, national laws are made by
Congress. They are intended to prote ~t your rights.
The U.S. Constitution lists the basi c rights of people
in the U.S. They are: freedom of speech,_ press,
religion, and assembly. Laws are made to protect these
rights. A person who violates a law might be fined,
imprisoned, or both. A conviction can have other
damaging effects on a person's life . (YNL, 203). For
example, many employment appl ication forms ask,
'Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense,
other than minor traffic offenses, in the United States?'
Employers may be reluctant to hire someone with a
conviction record. Ignorance or claiming you didn't
know about a certain law does not exempt you from it.
There are three kinds of laws in the U.S.1 federal,
state, and local (YNL, 203).
1. Federal laws
Federal laws apply to every person living in this
country.
2. State laws
State laws apply within a particular state. These
laws vary from one state to another. For example,
many states set the age to drink alcoholic
beverages at 18; in others the age may be 21.
In Massachusetts the drinking age is 20.
3. Local laws
Local laws apply in a certain city or county.
If you are not sure whether something is legal ask
your sponsor or a ~ ti.end to help you find out. In
the U.S. igno rance of the law does not make you
exempt from it.
C.
Some Laws You Should Know About (YNL, 205)
1. Shoplifting (stealing in a store) is considered
a very serious crime in the U.s.
2. You must have a license to drive a car in the U.S.
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
is illegal.
3. Child abuse and spouse (wife/husband) abuse are
illegal in many paBts of the U.S. What is considered
to be mistreatment in the U.S. may be acceptable
in other countries. For example, leaving a baby
or child alone in a home or in a car is sometimes
considered child abuse.
�4.
Pe r mits are required if you want to hunt or f ish.
Slaughtering (killing for food) animals in the
house .is illegal unless you have a permit.
5. Picking fruit or flowers from other people's yards
or public parks may be illegal.
6. Littering is illegal in most places. For example,
if you are caught littering on certain roads or
highways in the U.S., you may be fined $50 to $200.
7. Carrying firearms (guns), certain kinds of knives,
or other dangerous weapons without a permit, is
illegal in many places.
8. Prostitution is illegal. Both the prostitute and
tbe customer can be arrested.
9. You might not be able to go into a store or a
restaurant unless you are properly dressed.
Shoes and shirts are required in most public places.
10. Urinating in public - outdoors - is against the law.
You must use a restroom.
11. Exchanging money in card games or other games,
even at home, may be against the law.
12. Giving false information on public forms is illegal.
You should not give a false b~ rth date, name, or
name of family members to officials.
D.
Family Laws
Marriage, divorce and adoption are legal matters in
the U.S. (YNL, 207).
1. Before marriage you must register with the local
government and get a license. You may have to have
blood tests and to present your refugee or Permanent Resident Alien documentation.
2. There are laws whi c h !govern the age of marriage.
In ma~y states teenagers cannot marry without parental
consent.
3. Legally, a person can only have one spouse (husband/
wife) at a time.
4. Divorce can be complicated in this country. Consult
a friend or sponsor who can direct you to appropriate
legal services.
5. Parents are usually considered to be responsible
for their children J ~ behavior.
E.
Police in the United States
In the U.S., the police enforce the law (YNL, 208).
Here are some things about the police you should reme mber.
1. In the U.S., police are here to help and protect you.
2. Police must not be bribed. Bribery (giving money)
is illegal here.
3. If you are stopped by the poli ce, it is considered
unlawful to run away - you could be shot for not
stopping for the police.
�~.
Legal Assistance
If you are accused of a crime in the U.S., you are
considered innocent until you are proven guilty
(YNL, 209).
If you have a legal problem and are not sure how
to get the services of an attorney, contact the Legal
Aid Society in your town or in a large city near you.

Community Services in the United States (YNL Sec. 6, HMH Sec. 1)
Read 'Background Notes' (YNL, 116).
Read through and discuss 'The Story of Mr. T' (YNL, 117).
The United State s and your new community are ready
to provide helpful services for you and your family,
including public assistance, if you are eligible. They
help people care for their families, find employment,
and obtain more education so they can become self-sufficient.
This kind of help is called social or community service.
The Indochinese Education and Employment Services is a
community service for Indochinese refugees.
Temporary assistance is available to people who may not
have enough money to pay for food, rent, or medical bills.
It continues until they can pay for these expenses
themselves. However, this assistance is designed to be
a ~emporary measure to protect the family until they can
support theymselves. Refugees, like Americans, ~
expected to be self- s ufficient (YNL, 119).
Most assistance comes from the federal, state, and
local governments. It is paid for from taxes collected
by the governments (YNL, 120).
A.
Medical Programs
Basic services such as immunization shots or tests
for tuberculosis or venereal disease are available
to everyone at little or no cost. Medical assistance also helps the elderly or low-income families
for certain costs such as doctors' fees, hospital
bills, and medicine (YNL, 121).
�Additional services may be available for particular
groups of people (YNL, 121).

services. Keep it with you at all times.
5. Show your medical card when obtaining prescription
medicine. You may be able to buy it at a lower cost.
B.
Food Programs
Food programs vary from state to state. They help
provide better diet for low-income families until
they can afford to buy it themselves. They give
either food or food stamps for buying food . (YNL, 123).
1. Food stamps
Food stamps are coupons used to buy food. If
you qualify for this assistance, you will receive
an identification card and the food stamp booklet.
(See YNL, 124 and HMH, 66-)
2. Breakfast and lunch programs
Children whose parents have a limited income
may receive f r ee or low-cost meals at school.
]. Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
Women who are pregnant or who have recently
had a baby may be eligib~e for food supplements.
Children up to the age of five are also eligible
for supplementary foods.
4. Elderly people
Some elderly people cannot prepare food for
themselves. They can go to programs for at least
one meal each day.
C.
Cash Assistance (Welfare)
Ira American culture, being able to support yourself
and your family without government help is important.
People sometimes need financial help,. however, unti 1
they become self-sufficient. These cash assistance
programs are usually called welfare (YNL, 127).
Each state's welfare program has its own eligibility
requirements. Most places require that the welfare
applicant also register with the state employment
office. Other programs allow people who are in certain
job training programs t o receive cash assistance (YNL,127).
�The Indochinese Education and Employment Services
is this type of job training program. Participation
in this program is required of all welfare recipients.

of people waiting for certain classes (YNL, 130).
E.
Employment Programs

IV.
Your Home in the United States (YNL Sec. 5, HMH Sec. 4)
Read 'Background Notes' (YNL, 90).
Read through and discuss 'The Story of Mr. H' (YNL, 91).
A.
Your Home
In the United States people live in different types
of housing depending on geographic region and
their finances (YNL, 93). The main types of housing
are apartments, attached or semi-attached houses called
townhouses or rowhouses, and detached houses.
1 . Apartment
In cities people usually live in apartments.
It is customary in the U.S. for Q!!Q family to
live in ~ apartment. It may have one room
with a kitchen and a bathroom or it may have
as many as three or four rooms. The apartments
in a building share the entrance way from outside. Each apartment is entered through its
own door from the common entrance way or hall . (YNL, 93).
2. Semi-attached house
A semi-attached house is a building that shares
one or more walls with buildings built next to it.
It has its own entrance from outside and is
usually occupied by a single family (YNL, 94).
3. House
A house is usually a solita~y building with
a yard around it (YNL, 94).
B.
In and Around the Home
Most homes, whether apartments or houses, have
different rooms for different purposes. Most places
will have at least a kitchen or cooking area and
a bathroom (YNL, 95).
1. Kitchen
The kitchen is the room used for cooking. It
usually contains a sink, a stove, a refrige~ator,
and storage areas (YNL, 95).
a) stove
Most stoves work on electricity or gas.
You should know how to operate the stove
properly and safely so as not to cause
harm or accidents. Ask someone to show
you the proper way to use a stove.
b) refrigerator
The refrigerator is used to keep foods cold
and fresh. The door of the refrigerator
must be shut. Otherwise the refrigeratax
may break down and the food will spoil.
�2.
3.
4.
c) sink
The sink has hot and cold running water.
Be careful with the hot water - it can
burn. Dishes and cooking utensils are
washed in the sink. Dirty water is all
that should go down the drain. Grease
or food scraps will cause the sink to
break down and it may be expensive to fix.
d) garbage disposal
Your sink may have a garbage disposal.
This grinds up food scraps so that they
don't have to be put into the trash. Be
careful not to put metal objects or bones
in the disposal. Never put your hand in
the garbage disposal - ask how to use it
properly.
e) diswasher
Sometimes a kitchen may also have a dishwasher. This is a machine that washes pots,
pans and utensils. If there is one in
your home, ask how to use it.
Bathroom
The bathroom is where you use the toilet, wash
and clean yourself. Bathrooms usually have
a toilet, a sink and a bathtub or a shower (YNL, 97).
a) bathtub and sink
Ask someone to show you how to use the
faucets in the sink, tub and shower.
Showers usually have a door or curtain
to keep water inside the tub or shower
stall. These must be closed properly,
o~herwise water will spill on the floor.
b) t oilet
American toilets are designed to be used
in a seated position. Usually the seat
is kept down; however, men lift up the
seat and stand facing the toilet to urinate.
Do not stand Q!: squat on the toilet since
it may break. Only human waste and toilet
paper should be flushed down the toilet.
Hair, sanitary napkins, disposable diapers,
tampons, cigarettes or anything else
whould not be put in the toilet. These will
clog the pipes, stopping up the toilet
and flooding the room.
Living room
The living room is for family recreation and
entertaining guests. Sometimes it may be used
as a place to sleep.
Bedrooms
Your home may have one or more bedrooms. In
American families, parents sleep in one bedroom,
apart from the children (YNL, 98).
�5.
Furnishings
Basic furnishings found in an American home
usually consist ofs
a) table and chairs for e ating
b) beds for sleeping
c) closets, cabinets, dressers for storage :·
d) sofa (couch) and chairs for relaxing
e) rugs or carpets for covering the floor
f) curtains or drapes or venetian blinds on
the windows, for insulation and privacy
When you move into your new apartment or house,
your sponsors or friends may give you some
furniture or basic items (such as cooking
utensils, dishes, etc.). If you need furniture
you can save money by buying it secondhand (YNL, 99).
C.
Out si d e the Home
If you live in a house, you may huve a yard where
it may be possible to plant a garden. Ask the
landlord first. If you live in an apartment,
there may be storage areas in another part of the
building. There may also be a play area or other
facilities. Sometimes these are indicated in the
lease. Ask the landlord or resident manager to
explain what is available and how the facilities
can be used (YNL, 100).
D.
Looking for a Home
(See HMH, 34.)
1. In some places, hosing is more difficult to
find than in others. There are various ways
to look for a place to lives
a) talking to your sponsor or friends
b) checking classified ads in newspapers
c) walking around the neighborhood looking for
signs indicating housing 'FOR RENT'
d) going to the office that manages an apartment building to see if any vacancies exist
2. As you are looking at apartments or housez ,
there are some things you should consider before
you decide to rents
a) How much can you afford to pay for housing?
b) Are there extra charges for utilities or
are they included in the rental charge?
c) How much is the rent?
d) Is there a deposit? If, how much?
e) How many people are allowed to live in the
apartment or house?
f) Are there stores, public transportation, nearby?
g) W
here are the schools located?
3. W
hile deciding whether or not to take a place
LOOK AROUND INSIDE to see what kind of condition
it's in (YNL, 101).
�E.
Lease
When you decide to rent, you may be asked to sign
a lease. This ia an agreement between you and the
landlord (YNL, 102). Before signing the lease
be certain to understand what it says and what it
means. If necessary, )ask your sponsor or a friend
to explain it to you. When you sign a lease you
are usually asked to pay the first month's rent in
advance along with a deposit. This is sometimes
called a security or a security deposit. This is
an amount of money which the landlord holds in the
event that there is damage to the house or apartment
(YNL, 102).
(See A New Start Units 86-88, 'Complaining',
'"Requesting' , and 'Insisting' . )
F.
Paying for Your Housing
Usually the rent must be paid once a month on the
first day of the month. The lease will usually give
you the date by which you must pay. If you fail to
pay or if you often pay late, you would be breaking
the lease and the landlord uould have you evicted.
W
hen you sign the lease you should find out about
other expenses you may need to pay that are not
included in the rent payment. The lease will list
utilities (for example, heating, hot water, electricity, gas) which are included in the rent payment
and those which may have to be paid for separately.
The one utility never included in the rent payment
is the telephone (YNL, 102).

Taking Care of Your Home
1. Cleaning inside the home
Your landlord will expect you to keep your
home in clean condition and in good repair.
Americans use a variety of tools to keep the
home clean (YNL, 103).
a) sponges a nd brushes ·
b) mops
A mop is used to clean the f l oo r s ·, us\dal l y
with soap o r a de tergent and water. In
the U.S., floors are never washed by t hrowing
buckets of water on them (YNL, 104).
c) brooms
d) detergents and cleansers
e) vacuum cleaner
f ) washer and dryer
For washing clothes, towels, and linens,
Americans use a washing machine. Sometimes
a house or apartment wi_ J. h~ve ~ wa ~hi ng
l
machine available .

-
�For drying laundry, a machine called
a dryer may be used, or the laundry may
be hung from an appropriate place. Clothes
should not be hung on the balcony of an
apartment, on benches, trees or fences
around the house or apartment building (YNL, 105).
If there is no washer or dryer in your home
you may have to take your dirty laundry
to a laundromat to be washed. This is a
business where you can find coin-operated
washers and dryers for public use. If
you do not know how to use a washer or
dryer ask your sponsor or a friend to show
you how (YNL, 105).
(See

a New
Start Unit 83, ' Using a Laundromat ' .)
Not all clothes can be washed and dried
in a machine. Some should be washed gently
by hand; others s hould be professionally
dry cleaned (YNL, 105).
Disposing of garbage and 'trash
In most apartment buildings , there is a room
or place where trash can be placed where it
will be removed by a trash or sanitation service.
Any garbage or trash around the home should be
placed in a bag or container which must be
covered or closed to stop unpleasant odors, and
keep insects, mice, rats or other animals from
getting into it (YNL, 106) .
Temperature in the ttouse
Homes in the U.S. usually have the temperature
inside cont colled automatically by machines.
It is neaessary to know how to adjust the temperature. Sometimes the landlord controls the
temperature from a central location. When a
furnace, heater, or air conditioner are working,
all doors and windows should be kept closed (YNL, 107).
Using other utilities
Most American homes have a vari.ety of appliances
and machines used in cooking, cleaning, leisure
activities, etc. Most of these use electricity
to operate. When you use something that runs
on electricity be very careful .tQ know how to
1!..§g it properl y (YNL , 108).
Never use an electrical appliance near water. If an elctrical
appliance doesn ' t work don ' t try to fix it
yourself (YNL, 108).
�Some stoves, heaters and furnaces use natural
gas or oil. You must be careful about lighting
matches or using flame near an appliance whith
uses gas or oil. It raay cause a fire or an
explosion. Also, breathing the gas is dangerous often fatal. ~now how to~ gas appliances safely
and properly (YNL, 108).
H.
Outside the Horne
Neighborly considerations
There are some things you should keep in mind to
get along well with your neighbors (YNL, 109) .
Many Americans do not like to be disturbed at
night when they usually rest. Loud music,
yelling or loud talking and other noisy activities
can tie disturbing at these times. There may be
certain places around your home where children
are not allowed to play.
(See
I.
Start Unit 100, ' Meeting a Neighbor ' .)
Keeping Your Horne Secure
(See HMH , 4 3 . )
Check to see that the doors and windows in your
home can be closed and locked. If you live in an
area where many people are strangers, it is important
to keep doors and windows secure since crimes do
occur (YNL, 110).
When strangers come to your horn~, find out who they
are and what they want before you open the door
to let them in (YNL, 110).
If you leave your home, lock the doors and windows.
Keep the keys to your home in a safe place. Always
carry a set with you when you leave s o that you can
let yourself in and out. It is a good idea to
give a set of keys to your sponsor , a f ~ end or
someone you trust - in case you lose your keys or
accidentally lock them in the house (YNL, 110).

Here are some reminders for safe living in and
around your home:
1. Cleaning supplies
a) Store cleaning supplies in closed containers
out of the reach of children. Most cleaning
products are poisonous.
b) Never mix cleaning products since dangerous
fumes can be released .
2. Electricity
a) ~ever use an.electrical appliance that is not
in good repair.
b) Never use electrical appliances near water.
c) ~fit£d~gg~iances out of the reach of small

a) If you smoke, use an ashtr? Y• Don't throw
cigarettes or matches or cigarette ash
on the floor or carpet. Be sure cigarettes
and matches are cold before throwing them
in a trash can.
b) Never smoke in bed or near flammable substances
such as gasoline, natural gas, some cleaning
fluids.
c) Never leave irons, toasters or heat-up
appliances turned on if you leave the room.
d) If you go away from your home, turn off
all appliances except for the refrigerator.
The stove, if it runs by electricity, can
be left plugged in, but all burners should
be turned off.
e) Don't store gasoline or flammable substances
inside your home.
f) Never have an open fire in the house.
g) Never burn charcoal sold for barbeQueing
inside the house. If your house or apartment
does not have smoke alarms you should
install one.

Medical Emergencies
(See HMH, 85.)
If you have a medical emergency , such as a broken leg,
a heart attack, or unbearable physical pain, you
should go to the Emergency Room of a hospital near you.
�At the Emergency Room, doctors and nurses are
available to provide immediate care for serious
illnesses or injuries (YNL, 147).
If you, your family, or friend has such a medical
emergency, you should contact your sponsor o r a
bilingual friend to go with you to the hospital
to explain the problem to the hospital staff.
If you are unable to drive or take public transportation to the hospital, then you can call an
ambulance to take you to a hospital. In many
places if you call the police or fire department,
they will be able to send an ambulance to you.
In Lowell, the telephone number for the JPOlice
and ambulance service is the same, 454-0425.
The Fire Department is 459-2444. Keep these
numbers near the telephone.
Lowell Emergency Num
bers :

At the Emergency Room · - When you go to the emergency
room, you must check in at a desk or counter, explain
your problem, and fill out some forms giving your
name, address, place of employment, medical card and
the like. You r sponsor or bilingual friend can
help you do this. Then you will be treated and either
released or required to stay ih t he hospital, depending
on the severity of your problem , (YNL, 148).
Note: In some hospital emergency rooms, you may
be required to prove that you will be able t o pay
for the services given to you. Public hospitals
are required to give you emergency treatment in
a ny case.
B.
W
hat ~o Do If You Don't Feel Good
( Se e HMH, 73.)
When Americans have a medical problem that they
don't understand, they call their doctor prompt ly.
A doctor may be found in a private office or a clinic
(YNL, 149).
If you go to a private doctor, you will have to make
an appointment in advance. If an appointment is made,
always be there on time. If you cannot, call the
doctor's office as soon as you know. Otherwise, you
will be charged for the visit, whether you receive
treatment or not.
If you go to a clinic, you may or may not have to
make an appointment. If you can't keep an appointment, let the clinic know in advance. Generally
public health clinics are less expensive than private
aoctors (YNL, 149).
�In Lowell, the Lowell General Hospital ' s Community
Health Center is one of the best and least expensive
clinics in this area. The telephone number is 454-2323.

3.
Physical examinations
So that the doctor can diagnose your problem,
you may have to submit to a physical examination. Certain parts of the exam may seem
unfamiliar to you ( YNL ·, 150) , such as:
a) blood pressure
b) blood tes t
c) pelvic exam
d ) temperature
e) throat examination
Questions and forms
When you go to the clinic or to the doctor
for the first time, you will be required to
answer questions and fill out forms. Some
of the information may seem personal to you,
but your treatment can be more effective if
you answer as trut hfully and completely as
possible. If the forms seem confusing to you,
ask a friend or your sponsor for some hel p .
Don ' t sign the forms until you are sure you
understand them (YNL, 151).
Drugs and medicines
(See HMH, 76-86 . )
After seeing you, the physician ma y prescribe
special medication for you to take. This
will be written on a prescription. Take this
to a dr ugstore or pharmacy, where the pharmacist can give you the medication the doctor
ordered. Be~ to follow the doctor's directions for taking the medication. For example,
if the doctor tells you to take pills for ten
days and after five days you begin to feel better,
you should still take the pills for ten days (YNL, 152).
Many people will go to the pharmacy or drugstore
when they are sick and obtain nonprescription
medication . If you are sick, it is better to
go to the doctor or a clinic and get your
problem taken care of immediately . (YNL , 153).
Overuse of any medication can be dangerous to
your health. If you are seeing a doctor for
a particular medical problem, be sure that he
knows about the other medications you are taking.
If medicines are prescribed for ymu by the doctor,
never take any others without his permission.
Remember, for safet y, keep all medication out
of the reach of children.

Hospitals
If the doctor thinks you are very sick or require
further detailed examination, he may require
you to go to the hospital for a set period of
time. The doctors and medical staff expect
patients to ask questions when there is something that th~ y don't understand (YNL, 154).
Hospital rules and regulations - There are a
number of rules and regulations you are expected
to know about when you are in the hospitals
a) In most hospitals, ther e are designated
smoking areas. Smoking is llQ£ permitted in
patients' rooms.
b) In most hospitals, there are regular visiting
hours when you can visit the patient (YNL, 154).
c) Quiet is very important in hospitals . (YNL, 155).
d) Your doctor may require a specific diet for
you when you are in the hospital. Food should
not be brought in from the outside without
the doctor's permission.
e) Burning incense, lighting candles, or doing
other such religious acts may not be permitted
in patients' rooms. Ask permission first.
f) Phone calls can often be made in
your
hospital room (YNL, 155).
If you are in the hospital, remember that many
people - doctors, nurses, etc. - will ask you
many questions. These can be about health
history or that of your family, allergies,
type of drugs that you current ly use or have
used in the past. If you are a patient, you
should be as cooperative as possible and try
your best to answer the questions asked (YNL, 155).
Remember, if you have any questions about medical
procedures, eguipment, medication, Q.r treatments ask.
Vaccinations
For children, immunizations or vaccinations to
prevent certain diseases are required by law
in the U.S. (YNL, 156). After vaccination,
you will be given an Immunization record, which
may be necessary for children to show when they
first enter a school system (YNL, 156).
(See HMH, 87 ; )
Dental Care
Denta l care is very important for Americans.
Clean teeth and a pleasing smile are considered
marks of beauty in the U.S. Americans take care
of their teeth by brushing ac· lea st twice daily
with a toothbrush and toothpast (YNL, 157).
�W
hen Americans have medical problems with
their teet h , m
outh or gums , they go to the
dentist or to a dental clinic . Dental care
can be costly in the U. S . but proper care of
teeth is essential for you all-around health .
Many schools have programs for students called
flouride treatment programs (YNL , 157). These
treatments may prevent the need for expensive
dental care in l ater years .
(See A New Start Units 66-68 , ' Making Appointments ', ' Indicating Preference ' , and ' Insisting '. )

Payment for medical and dental services
For most Americans, health care and medical
care are not free . Each time a person visits
the doctor or dentist , he/ she must pay for the
doctor ' s or dentist ' s services . Medical and
dental care are expensive . Americans have
medical insurance to help cover the high
cost. However , insurance does not usually cover
all medical costs (YNL , 158) . To help people ,
the government has various assistance programs
determined by the amount that a patient is able
to pay (YNL , 158).
Preventi ng illness
It is very important to dress appropriately
for American climates. In colder areas you
must wear shoes, s ocks , and appropriate outerwear. Otherwise , you may become ill .
Also to maintain good health, it is important
to live in a clean environment. Especially,
kitchens and bathrooms should be kept clean
and free from stale food and garpage . Toilets
should be kept clean , and water should not be
left in the sink or t ub after use .( YNL, 158).
Health-related customs in the U.S .
In the U.S . there are a number of practices which
are considered impolite and unhealthy. You
should know about these . (YNL , 159) :
a) Always use a handkerehief or a kleenex to blow
your nose in public places or inside a public
building .
b) Never urinate in the street . This creates
a smell that is offensive to Americans . They
also believe that it causes disease . Always
use a public restroom or your bathroom inside
your home .
c) Spitting in public is c onsidered impolite and
unhealthyr · use a kleenex or handkerchie~ .
d) Picking your nose or your ears in public is
frowned upon in the U.S. If you must do these
things , do so in private.
�e) Americ ans believe that children , no matter
what age , should have their bottoms cl o thed
when out in public - regardless of the temperature . Also, children should be shown how to
use public restrooms. Diapers should be used
while in public with younger children . If
paper di ape rs are used , they should be thrown
out (not flushed down the toilet) when soiled .
Cloth di a pers are washed and dried after
being soi led.
f) Americans feel that it is very healthy for
mothe rs to breastfeed their babies . This
is done in private , however.

The U.S . is a very large country with many types of
climate and terrain , different time zones , and a variety
of people and lifestyles. Most places have developed
their own transportation systems. You need to learn
the one in your area. Communication systems are usually
the same throughout the U. S .
A.
Travel
.
(See HMH, 108 . )
1 . Local travel
People in the U.S. get around their communities
by walking or bicy€le, bus, car , or subway.
First you should know exactly where you want
to go and about how far it is. Then you can
choose the best type of transportation (YNL, 19) .
a) by walking
Walking is a good way to become faimiliar
with your neighborhood. However, there are
some important things you need to know
about walking in your community (YNL, 20).
Learn the meaning of ' WALK '
·_ ' DON ' T WALK '
signs when crossing the st ceet.
�Do not accept r ides with strangers.
Do not walk alone at night.
(See A New Start Unit 16, ' Simpl e
Di rec ti ons' . )
b) by bicyle
In the U.S. bicycle riding is usually
for recreation and exercise. Some people
ride their bicycles to school or work
In some areas, there are trails for bicycle s
Q.n1Y which are usually marked by a sign
(YNL, 21). (See YNL , 21 for bicycle riding
rules.)
c) by bus
Traveling by bus is the most common means
of publ ic transportation. W
hen you take
a bus you must know where to ~et on and
off. Before you u s e your : bu s system, ask
someone to help you get a s chedule and learn
to read it. Bu s es usually arrive at the
stop at a specific time so be sure you
are there at the correct time (YNL , 22).
Boarding a bus - Make sure you get on the
bus by following those in front of you.
In some cities, you must have the exact
fare. In Lowell the fare is SO cents.
Exiting from a bus - Just before your
stop, pull the cord or push the button
over your seat and the driver will know
to stop for you. The exit door in the back
usually has a light. When it is green,
you can get off the bus. ( W
atch how other
people do it.)
Before trying to use the bus system by
yb urself, ask a friend or your sponsor to
explain you local bus route and costs . (YNL, 22).
In Lowell, the bus system (Lowell Regional
Transportation A
uthority) runs from Monday
to Saturday, until 6:00 P . M. The fare is
SO cents, and you must have the exact change.
(See A New Start Unit 63, 'Describing
Travel Routines'.)
d) by car and motorcycle
In places with little or no public transportation, the most common and convenient way
to travel is often the automobile. However,
it is very expensive to own a car. The
�owner must have enough money to pay for
gas, oil, maintenance, insurance, and
sometimes monthly car payments. Many
retugees have bought new cars and then
found that they could not afford the payments
or insurance. Consider buying a cheaper
used car. Ask for help in choosing it.
Some facts to know before owning or driving
a car or motorcycle (YNL, 23)s
Every driver must have a license to operate
a vehicle.
The vehicle muzt be registe~ed in the state
where the owner lives.
It is illegal to drive if you have been
drinking alcohol.
You must be 16 or older to get a license.
The laws for motorcyles are much the same
as for cars. It is safer to wear a helmet
while on a motorcycle.
Remember, always use seatbel t s in the car.
2.
(See HMH, 112.)
e) by taxi
Taxis are found in large cities and often
in other areas. The fare is expensive
and the taxi drivers usually expect a 10%
tip after the trip. You can call a taxi
from your home or anywhere at any time
of the day or night (YNL, 24).
In Lowell, the names and telephone numbers
of taxi services are located in ~ he yellow
pages of the phone book, under TAXICAB.
f) by subway or train
In some large cities, there is a fast train
called the subway, which travels under
and above ground. To use the subway, you
must know where the stations are located,
how to pay the fare, and where the trains
go (YNL, 24).
Long distance travel
It is legal to travel on all public roads in the
U.S. However, traveling between cities and
states is different from traveling in your
local area and can be more expensive. You can
choose to travel by car, bus, train or plane (YNL, 25).
a) by car
. (See YNL, 25.)
b) by bus
Tickets are bought at the bus station. Get
to the station early to buy a ticket.
Know the time the bus leaves for your
destination. (Buses usually leave on time.)
�3.
Toilets are usually available at the back
of the bus.
Observe rules about no smoking, eating,
drinking, and playing music.
c) by train
It is more comfortable to travel by train
than by bus, but it is also a little more
expensive and trains do not go very many
routes (YNL , 27).
(See YNL, 27.)
d) by plane
Traveling by plane is usually the most
expensive means of transportation.
You can travel by plane to most cities and
many large towns in and outside the U.S.
Discount t ickets may be · available if
purchased in advance.
All passengers should report t o the ticket
counter at least 45 minules before the flight
leaves.
Airlines have rul es about luggage and what
they can allow.
Ask your friends or sponsor for information
about plane travel (YNL , 28).
Outside safety
While you are usually safe in the United States,
crime is a problem in some areas of this country.
However, there are precautions you can take t o
help prevent being the victim of a crime (YNL, 29).
a) Avoi d dark places where you cannot be
easily seen by others.
b) Beware of places where there is nobo&y else
present. It is less likely that you will be
bothered if there are others around.
c) Avoid walking alone at night.
d) Keep your children home at night. It is
danger01s for them to be outside along after dark.
e) It is a general rule that you should be wary
of strangers. Warn your children not to
-. a ccept rides or gifts from people they don ' t
know. Women should be particularly careful
of men they don ' t know, because there is
always the danger of rape.
f) It is generally unsafe to carry cash or
valuables with you. If you must, keep them
in a pocket or purse, out of the sight of
potential thieves.
g) Most impo rtant , do not hesitate to call the
police if something happens to you or if you
are suspicious of someone . It is better to
call the police unnecessarily than to jeopardize
your own safety . You are entitled to the
protection and assistance available to all
Americans .
�If you are a victim of any crime , call the
police iiiiiiiectiately . In Lowell , the phone
number for the Police Department is 454-0425 ,
the same as the number for ambulance service .
In most areas you can dial an emergency number 911 - to reach the police . You can also dial
' 0 ' to reach the telephone operator who will
heil p you .
EEK
B.
r/.
Communi c ation
There are many easy ways to communicate with your
friends , relatives , or anyone you want to co ntact.
The most common ways are mail or telephone . If
you have a very important message that must get
there quickly, you can send a telegram but it is
expensive (YNL , 31) .
l. By mai 1
a) sending mail
When sending a letter , you should write
the address in English clearly and completely .
The address m st have : (YNL, 31 ):
u
1) name of person
2) street address of person plus apartment
number (or P.O. Box number)
3) city and state
4) zip code
Your name and address should be put on the
envelope also . Put it on the upper lefthand
corner or on the back of the envelope . If
for some reason the letter cannot be delivered ,
it will be returned to you.
To send mail, you must use stamps . .
Stamps for the correct amount of postage oan
be purcha sed at the post office.
Letters going outside the U. S . ~ !.!!Q£g expensive
to mail .
Aeo rograms are less expensive to send .
Post offices are usually closed on Sundays ,
holidays , and sometimes on Saturdays .
M i lboxes , usually red and blue, are outside
a
nea r the street , and at the post office .
Packages and t a pes can be mail e d at the post office.
Never send cash through the mai l. (Send
c ertified bank drafts.)
When moving to a new address, inform the postal
service. ( Forms are available at the post office.)
When sending important documents , ask the
post office about registered mail.
�b) receiving mail
Mail arrives at your home daily except
on Sundays and holidays. In an apartment building , a box is assigned to you
and usually is located near the main
entrance.. Some people receive their mail
at the post office , where they rent a box .
If you receive unfamiliar mail or mail
with someone else ' s name on it, don ' t open
it. Ask a friend to explain (YNL , 32) .
·(see ~ New Start Unit 93 , ' In the Post Office ' .)
2.
By telephone
The telephone is the most useful and popular
form of communication in the U.S. There are
many places where you can find a phone to use.
There are public or pay phones, or private
phones in offices , stores , and people ' s homes (YNL, 33).
a) making a phone call
Each phone has a separate number. Every
number has an area code (000) and seven
digits (000-0000) . For local calls in
your area, use the last seven digits only.
To call long distance, use other numbers
plus the last seven digits. To use the
phone (YNL, 33):
1) pick up the receiver
2) listen for the dial tone
3) dial each number separately
4) wait for the person to answer .after
it rings
5 ) speak
Busy signal indicates the person·• s phone
is not free.
(See~
New Start Unit 25, ' Requesting Information ' .)
b) private phones
To have a phone installed in your house or
apartment, contact the local phone company.
Be careful not t o buy services that you don ' t
need (YNL , 34).
c) long distance
If you want to call someone in another town
or state, you must use long distance calling.
There is a monthly charge for local calls
but each long distance call costs extra.
You a r e charged by the minute so the longer
you talk the more expensive it is . These
charges come on your monthly phone bill.
There are two basic types of long distance
calls: direct dialed and operator assisted
(YNL , 34).
�1) direct dialed - You use a combi nati on phone number (1 + area
code+ phone number). You call
directly to the other person and
don ' t talk to the operator (YNL, 34).
2) operator assisted calls - Each phone
has a n ' 0 ' to indicate operator
assistance. You must dial ' 0 to
start this type of ccall and talk
to the operator. You can call
' collect ' or ' person-to-person ' (YNL, 34).
(See HMH , 120.)
(See A New Start Unit 31, ' Making an
Apology ' - wrong number.)
d) your te 1 ephone book ·
The white pages have telephone' numbers
listed by people ' s last names, which a re
in alphabetical order. The ' yellow pages '
have the numbers of companies or services (YNL, 35).
e ) phone bill
~
{See HMH, 126.)
Phone bills come every m
onth and must be
paid on time. If not paid, the phone company may disconnect the phone (YNL, 35).
Caution: Long distance is expensive!
f) public telephones
Public telephones can be found at gas
stations, res taurants, shopping centers,
at . some street intersections, and at the
airport, train , and bus stations (YNL , 36).
In using public phones , keep the following
information in mind (YNL, 36) :
1) I nsert change in the slot. The
cost for a local c all is 20 cents.
2) A long distance call requires a
large amount of change. An operator
must assist you to make this call
and tell you how much it costs.
3) If the person is not at home or their
line is busy, your money will be
returned when you hang up.
g) hot-line and toll-free numbers
Some long distance numbers can be called
at no cost . For example, to call about
orientation information, call ORC
(Orientation Resource Center)at: (800) 424-3701
The 800 at the beginning means a free line1

Telegrams
If you need to send a telegram, call the
telegraph office, tell them the message, and
give them the address. You can also send
money through the telegraph office . It is
an expensive way to communicate and should
be used only when necessary. Post offices
do not provide telegram service (YNL, 36).

A.
Your Finances in the United States
Money and financial practices in the U.S. may be
very different from those you are used to. Careful planning, caution and an understanding of the
American economic system can help prevent problems
in this area (YNL, 165).
1. The money system in the U.S.
American money can be either paper (bills) or
metal (coins). Bills come in amounts of one,
two, five, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollars. All
bills are the same size and color regardless
of their value. You must look carefully at
the number written on the bill to see how
much it is worth (YNL, 165).
There are 100 cents in one dollar; coins
represent amounts of one dollar or less.
Coins can be confusing because their size does
not indicate their value (YNL, 166).
a) The one-cent piece is called a penny.
b) The five-cent piece is called a nickel.
c) A dime, while smaller than a nickel and a
penny, is worth ten cents.
d) The most widely used coin is the quarter,
worth twenty~five cents.
e) The half-dollar is also known as a fiftycent piece.
The symbol¢ mean s ' cent ' . It only appears to
denote amounts of less than one dollar.
The symbol$ means ' dollar ' . Dollar amounts
ar~ alway? placed to the left of a decimal
poi. nt , whi. 1 e
�2.
Doll ar amounts are always placed t o the left
of the decimal point, while cent amounts are
placed to the right.
For .example , 50¢ can also be written $.SO.
Two dollars and forty-three cents is written $2 . 43.
A comma is used to represent ' thousand ' : $1 , 243.43.
Other ways to pay Many Ame ricans use other means t han cash to pay
for goods and services . Common means of payment
include the check and the credit card. Two
other useful methods of payment are the traveler ' s
check and money order . They are used just like
cash but can be easily replaced if stolen. You
can buy them from a bank. If you need to send
money by mail, to pay for such things as
utilities, use a money order or check. Never
send cash Q.y mail (YNL , 167).
(See A New Sta rt Unit 13 , ' Re quest~ng Change ' ,
and Unit 29, ' Adding Up and Counting Change '. )
3.
Banks
(See HMH, 89.)
Most banks are open from 9 A.M . to 3 P.M. M
onday
through Friday. Some banks are also open Saturday
morning. It is advisable to put your money
in the bank rather than keep it in your home.
The government guarantees that you will not
lose your money if something happens to the
bank, such as fire or theft (YNL, 168).
If someone writes a check to you, you may cash
it by signing your name on the back of the check.
This is called endorsing . Always endorse
your check just before you cash it or deposit it.
Never endorse your check ahead of time , If it
were lost , someone else could use it.
Opening a bank account is so simple that it takes
only a few minutes . When yo~ go to the bank,
take s ome sort of identification and your first
deposit. This deposit can be in the form of
aash, check or a money order (YNL, 169).
There are two types of bank account s :
a) savings account - You keep your money
in the bank as savings. You can withdraw
your money at any time, using your passbook ,
or bank book .
b) checking account - You keep your money
in the bank and use checks to pay for
things;
If you have jewelry or valuable documents, do
not keep them in your home . Go to a bank and
rent a safe deposit box. Your possessions will
be protected in the bank ' s vault , but you can
get them out any time the bank is open (YNL , 172).
�Many large purchases - such as a car or house are financed or paid for by a loan. If you
have a good job , you may be able to borrow money
from your bank, then pay part of the money back
to the bank every month for a period of years (YNL, 172).
B.
Taxes
(See HMH, 146.)
A tax is money that eve ry person must pay to the
federal, state or local government so that these
governments may operate and deliver servi ces (such
as social services , maintenance of roads , and law
enforcement) (YNL , 173) .
1. Kinds of taxes
The amount of money you pay in taxes depends
on how much money you earn and the property
you own . Usually the more a person earns ,
the more taxes a person pays; the less a person
earns, the less taxes a person pays (YNL, 173).
There are different kinqs of taxes:
a) federal income tax
The federal income tax must be paid by
everyone who lives in the U. S. , even noncitizens. Most employers automatically
deduct federal income tax payments from
each paycheck. Every year around Jan. 31,
each of your employers will send . out . a W- 2
st atement. this f o rm:·
shows the amount
of money you earned during the year and
the amount deducted for taxes. It is very
important to keep the W-2 statement in a
safe place . You will need it to complete
your income tax return (YNL , 174).
Every year you must complete a form to
send to the governmEnt. This shows how
much money you earned and how much tax
was paid through deductions. This form is
called an i ncome t ax r eturn . It must be
completed and sent to the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) by April 15 (YNL, 174).
b) Social Security tax (F.I .C. A.)
Social Sec urity tax is usually deducted
from a person ' s paycheck in the same way
as federal income tax . It will provide
you with retirement benefits when you are
old enough to retire or disability benefits
if you are injured and can no longer work.
c) s tate income tax
State income tax is paid to the state government, and it is similar to the federal income
tax.

d) property tax
e) merchandise tax
Tax Se rvices
The American tax system is complicated. Because of
this, most government tax offices offer free help
and advice to peopl e with questions or problems (YNL , 176).
Insurance
Life if filled with many unforseen events, such as
accidents or serious illness. If things like these
occur, they can be very expensive for people and
cheir families . Many times people cannot afford
to pay for costly medical bills or for replacing
or repairing damaged property. Because of this,
most Americans buy insurance , which helps them pay
for unexpected large expenses (YNL, 177).
W
hen you buy insurance, you pay a cer tain amount
of money to an insurance company . In return , the
insurance company guarantees to pay you a previously
agreed upon amount of money if one of these unfortunate events occurs (YNL , 17 7).
1. Types of insurance
There are many ki nds of insurance. The most
common types of insurance that are important
for newly-arrived refugees are health
insurance and automobile insurance (YNL, 176)&
a) health insurance
Health insurance can cover the costs of
staying in the hospital, as well as some
of the treatment you receive while you
are in the hospital.
Health insurance is often paid for in
part by your employer and may cover members
of your family as well as yourself. When
this is done, the employer pays for part
of the costs of insurance, and the rest is
deducted from your paycheck (YNL, 178).
If an m
mployer provides insurance, the
policy will be terminated if you leave
your job (YNL, 179).
b) automobile insurance
Automobile insurance should be purchased
when you buy a car. In some states it is
against the law to drive a car that is
uninsured. If you are in a car accident
and do not have insurance, you would have
to pay for .all of the damages yourself.
Automobile insurance also pays for hospital
and doctor bills for people who are injured
in a car accident (YNL , 179).
c) ~ roperty insurance helps pay for possessions
�2.

c) property insurance
Property insurance helps pay for possessions
that are lost because of fire , theft or
other accidents.
d) life insurance
Life insurance provides financial sevurity
for the members of a family if the wageearner for the family dies .
Buying insurance
If you need to buy insurance , ask your sponsor
or a friend for help (YNL , 179) .
Unemployment insurance
Another kind of insurance that may be impornant
to you is unemployment insurance , which provides
you with money if you lose your job . This
insurance is run by the state government, and
most employers pay taxes to the state to cover
the cost of the program . The rules determining
if you are able to get unemployment i nsurance
are different in each state. If you quali f y ,
the payments you receive will onl y be for a
specified amount of time : they will not continue
indefinitely (YNL, 180) .

Consumer Educ a tion
America is a country of ' consumers ' . W
herever you
are, you will be encoura ged to buy everything from
cars to candy . Television, magazines and newspapers
are filled with advertisements for all kinds of
produc ts . Do not be tempted by the availability
and quantity of goods that you see. Plan your
spending carefully and buy only things that you
can afford (YNL , 185).
1. Budgeting
(See HMH , 105 . )
A budget is a pl an to spa nd your money wisely.
Add up your income and then determine your expenses.
Your income should be more than yamr expenses (YNL , 185).
2. Preparing for shopping
Before you do your shoppi ng, decide which store
will give you the best values. ·] f you can ,
visit various stores and compare prices for
s imilar items . The following list of suggestions
may help you (YNL , 186)1
a) l ists
vrite down the items you need to buy. At
the store you should try to buy only what ' s
on your list . This avoids overspending and
saves time.
�b) coupons
You can find these in the newspaper or
in magazines. They look like sma ll
cards with the picuure of the products
and the amount of money you will save if
you buy the product. For exa mpl e, a coupon
ma y save you 20c on a jar of coffee. Don ' t
buy~ product you don ' t need just bec ause
you have~ ' money saving ' coupon (YNL, 186).
c) sales
During a sale , the regular price of merchandise is lowered. By watching for
sales and comparing prices, you can s a ve
a significant amount of money on things
you need (YNL, 187).
d) You can ask sponsors , friends , and neighbors
where to shop . Remember that most stores
in the U.S . have fixed prices. This means
the . store has given an item one price ,
which cannot be changed . Never try to bargain
for anything in a store unless you are sure
sure than bargaining is acceptable (YNL , 187).
3. Places to shop
Most people in the U. S . do not shop every day.
They make all their purchases dur ing a once-a-week
trip. If shopping areas near you cannot be
reached by public transportation, ask friends
with a car if you can shop with them (YNL, 187) .
a) supermarkets
These are the most common places to buy

Other ways of shopping in the U.S . are by
mail orger, from door-to-door salesmen ,
and through telephone sales. Because of
communication problems, it is best t o avoid
shopping through these methods .
(See

A New
Start Unit 38, ' Store Signs '. )
At the store
W
hen you enter a store , you may be asked to
' check ' the bags and parcels you a re c arrying.
A clerk will take care of your belongings
in the front of the store. You can pick them
up when you leave . Why are you asked to do
this ? Shoplifting (stealing) is a serious
crime in the U.S . Many people try to hide items
in their bags or purses without paying for
them . Do not put anything into your purse
or pocket even if you intend to pay for it.
Most stores have detectives and television
cameras watching you as you shop. Also ,
smmking is not allowed in most stores . Put
out your lighted cigarette before entering a store .
(YNL, 190).
a) shopping for fo od
The food that American3 eat may seem strange
to you at first . The American diet emphasizes
protein (meat , milk , cheese , eggs) and may
use less fish , rice, and fresh vegetables
than you are used to. The frozen and
canned vegetables in the supermarket
taste different, but they are practical
and economical ( YNL , 191).
(See HMH , 55 .)
�(See 8 ew Start Unit 14, Making Simple
Requests ' and Unit 21, ' Making a Pricise
Request ' ; )
1) packages
Are you puzzled by the variety of
packages on the shelves? Some may
have pictures on the outside that
identify the contents. If you are
confused about package contents ,
ask your sponsor or a friend to
identify them for you. Items in
supermarkets are usually grouped
by categories - for example, all
the meats will be together .
American food stores often package
meat and produce to help keep it
fresh . Be careful in selecting
packaged items, since they ma y vary
in cost . Do 1iot open pre -wr apped f ood
items . If you have a question about
an item , ask a store clerk .
2) labels
Information on package labels can
help you to know if you are getting
good value for your money . A label
will list the ingredients of the product . On perishable items , like milk ,
there will be an ' expiration date '
( Exp . Jan 10) . It is the last day
the food should be bought.
Food in the U.S . is measured in both
the English and the metric systems.
It is often cheaper to buy large
amounts .
3) convenience foods
Busy people buy these because they
cook quickly. But they are costly .
Anything that says ' instant ' , ' readyto-eat ' or ' heat and serve ' is a convenience food.
Storing food - When you c ome home from the
supermarket , store your food properly ( YNL, 192) .
Meat, eggs , dairy products, and fresh produce
must be refrigerated. Canned goods , rice,
flour, sugar , oil , and jars of spices can
be put in cupboards or on shelves. Once
you have o pened a bottle or a can, s t ore
what is left over in the refrigerator.
�b) shopping for clothing
In the U. S. , you can find clothing suitable
for any climate and activity (YNL, 193).
(See HMH , 23.)
1) winter wear
In parts of the country where the
climate becomes cold in the winter,
you will need a heavy coat , sweaters ,
long-sleeved shirts , a hat, gl oves ,
and boots.
2) buying c lothing
You can find serviceable, reasona bly
priced cl othing in department stores
and discount stores. In the store ,
you will find racks and shelves of
of coa t s, dresses, pants, shirts,
underwear, and socks arranged according
to size. If you do not know your size,
a clerk can advise you. Or you c an
select a few pieces of cl othing tha t
look like they might fit. Tell the
clerk you want to ' try them on ' .
The tlerk will show you to a fitting
room. There you will have the privacy to put on the clothing and see
how it fits .
(See A New Sta rt Unit 17, ' Colors and
Clothing ' .)
3) caring for clothes
Label s sewn inside the clothing will
tell you how to t ake care of it.
Some fabrics have to be ' dry cleaned '
(cl eaned by a professional) . Blue
jeans and corton clothing may shri nk
when washed in hot water , and the colors
may fade .
(See HMH , 24 .)
4) returning merchandise
If you buy something that is defective
ar the wrong size, o r that you do not
want , return it to the store . Take it
to the l customer servi ce ' desk and explain the problem. You must take the
item back within seven t o ten days.
It must be unused, and you must have
the receip t o r sales slip . The store
may give a cash refund , replace the ite m,
or tell you to select something else
with an e qual value.

W rk is very important t o Americ ans . Both men and women ,

many also work bec ause they enjoy it . Most Americ ans
believe that people who are able should work and should
not depend on others f o r support (YNL , 43).
You can see this attitude in the way American pa rents
teach their children at a young age the value of work
and self-reliance (YNL , 43 ).
Americans believe that people 'should wo rk if they a re
able to . Many Americ ans re j ect the idea of retiring
at 65 by continuing to wo rk whil e they still enjoy good
heal th (YNL , 44 ).
Most Ame ricans also feel that some people need special help.

A. Types of Employment
( See HMH , 129.)
Generally speaking , there are three types of workers
in the United Sta tes : unsk il l ed . workers , skilled
workers , and professi onals . In the United States ,
per son may work ful l time or part time , depending
on the type of job , family constraints , and other
considerations ( YNL , 45) .
1. Unskilled workers
Examples of unski l led wo rkers are janitors ,
diswashers , waiters , and busboys . They are
easy to find because they do not requi r e a
skill or a good knowledge of English . Many
refugees work in these j obs and study English
or a skill at the same time , hoping to find
better employment ( YNL , 45) .
�2.

B.
Skilled workers
Examples of skilled workers are auto mechanics ,
plumbers , hairdressers , typists . These jobs
require some training and fairly good English ,
and salaries depend on the worker ' s experience
(YNL , 46) .
Professionals
Examples of professi onal s are teachers , engineers , pharmacists , doctors , lawyers . Most of
these jobs require a t lea st a college degree
(YNL , 47) .
Full-time employment
Usually , a full-time j ob requires 35 to 40
hours of wo rk per week. Since m st bu sinesses
o
in the U. S . operate from 9i00 a . m. to 5:00 p . m. ,
Monday through Friday , these are also
the most common hours of work for m
any occupations (YNL , 48 ).
Part-time employment
The hours of a pa rt - time ]ob wi l l vary according
to the job itself and the employer or place of
work . Part-time j obs offer m re f l exi bility ,
o
enabling you to work and participate in other
activities at the same t i me ( YNL , 48) .
Looking for a Job
( See HMH , 136.)
Looking for a job takes time and pate ence . Even most
Americans are not offered the fir s t j ob for which
they apply (YNL , 49) .
1 . Friends and sponso rs
Refugees often find j obs through the advice or
recommend a ti on of a sponso r , friend , or acquaintance .
Mut ual Assistance Associations ( MAAs ) and the
Voluntary Agencies (Vol ags) can be especially
helpful . The IndDchinese Refugees Foundati on
is desi gned to help you f i nd a j ob m re easily .
o
2. State emplo yment a genci es
Publ i c empl oyment offi ces help you find suit a ble
jobs free of charge . When you regi ster with
one of these agencies , a job counsel or will
help you establish your file and advise you
a bout j obs that are available in the are a .
You should contact the Department of Employment
Security for information .
3 . Signs on bui l dings
Information about job vacancies in a particular
area is also available at public libraries ,
large private companies , and ma jo r government
offices . Many restaurants advertise by putting
up signs on the windows saying ' Help Wanted '.
If a sign interests you , wal k inside and ask
to speak with the manager ( YNL , SO) .

The newspaper
In the employment section of a newspaper ' s
Classified Ads , you will find a list of
job openings arranged alphabetically, s uch
as Auto Mechanic , Dishwasher , Typist .
Each advertisement usually contains a brief
description of the job, its requirements ,
and the salary offered. It also will have
a telephone number or ~n address to call or
write to f or j ob appli c ations (YNL , SO) .
Private employment a gencies
These places can refer you to lots of jobs,
but of ten charge you o r your future employer
a fee if you are hired.
Applying for a Job
1 . The Social Security \Card and I -94
To work in the U. S . you mu st have a Social
Security number (Y L, 51). Ya u can apply
for a Social Security number at the Social
Security office . After your application for
a number has been processed, you will receive
a card with your Social Security number on it.
This number will always remain the same . It
doesn ' t matter whether you move , marry , change
jobs, or change your name , you will always
have the same Social Security number. W
hen
you go to apply for a job, you shoul d bring
your Social Security card and your I-94 with
you . These two documents .show that you have
permission to work in the U. S . ( YNL , 51) .
2. The f act sheet (resume)
Before you begin you r job hunt , you should
prepa re a fact sheet , usuall y called a resume.
In bhis you give information about your
background and experience . This will h~lp
you to more easily fill out the application f orm
available at your prospective employer . The
fact sheet will usually include the f ollowing
(YNL, 52):
a) your name, 1addre ss , and current telephone number
b ) your Social Secu r i ty number
c) names and addresse s of your current · ~nd/o r
previous empl oyer
d) you r salary history, dates of empl oyment , and
a brief description of the duties and responsibilities of the positions you ' ve had
e) schools attended, including vocational training
courses , dates attended , and degrees earned
f ) three references with names, addresses, and
telephone numbers
g ) othe r relevant experience , including activi ties
and volunteer work in , for example, the community,
church , or camps
�3.
The interview
W
hen seeking a job, the first thing you should
do is to contact the employer or his representative .
This is usually done by phone. Most jobs require
an interview . An interview is a talk between
you and the employer . During this talk the
interviewer will ask you many questions to find
out if you a re qualified for the job or if you
will be a reliable employee. The interviewer
will probably ask you how long you have been
in the U.S . and where you have worked and
studied before (YNL , 53) .
To prepare for your job interview, you should
anticipate the questions that the employer
may ask about your background, experience , and
job interests . You c an then have your answers
ready. Before you go to an interview , remember
to do the following things (YNL, 53) :
a) Be on time .
Do not come too early or t oo late . You
should get to the appointment place about
five minutes before the interview. Americans
value punctuality highly .
b) Be neatly dressed .
Dress appropriately for the type of work
you are being interviewed for and be sure
to have a neat appearance.
c) Bring an interpreter , if necessa¥Y ·
d) Bring a fact sheet ( resume) .
Having a f act sheet in hand will enable
you to fill out the applicati on properly
and accurately . On the fact sheet , include
work experience in your native country and
in t.he U.S .
e) Be confident and calm.
During the interview , you should give the
employer the impression that you are capable
of doing the job and will enjoy doing it.
Look at the interviewer in the face when
you answer his questi ons so that he will
feel you are honest and self-confident .
f) Be tactful .
Since your job during the interview is to
answer the questions asked by the employer ,
confine yourself to asking him ont y necessary
things if you are invited to do so . Make
him feel that you are very interested in
the work . Onl y ask him about your salary
and benefits at the end of the interview,
if he does not bring up the subject .
�g) Follow-up the results of the interview.
Before the interview ends , you may ask the
employer to tell you when you wi ll hear
from his. An interview does not mean that
you will get the job . If the interview
goes well and you a re optimistic a bout it ,
it is a good idea to write the employer a
short note when you return home , thanking
him for taking the time to talk with you .
It ma y take several days or weeks to know
if the interview ha s been successful and
if you will be offered the job . Be patient
and continue to look at other job.s whLle·
you are waiting t o hear .
WEEK 10
D.
Job Responsibilities and Benefits
When you are offered a job , there are seve ral things
you nee d t o find out from your employer(Y L , SS) :
1 . Work hours
Find out which days you are to work and what
time you start and finish . Time is very important in the U.S . Employees are expected to be
at work at the required time . If you are fcequently
late or absent from work without a good reason,
you can lose your j ob .
2. Company rules
Many wo rk places have rules for employees .
These rules may include : how much time you
get for lunch or other breaks , what kind of
clothes you wear , whether you can smoke or eat
on the job . There may also be safety rules
and regulations which you need to know about.
3. Fringe benefits
(See HMH , 130 . )
Depending on the type of company you work f o r
and its policies , you also may be eligible
for several other kinds of c ompa nsation besides
your s alary. These are called ' fringe benefits 0
and include health and life insurance , unemployment compensation , retirement benefits , and
annual and si ck leave .
E.
On the job
Once you have started working , you may need to know
about (YNL , S6):
1. Time cl <DcR
Some companies use a time clock . A time clock
is a machine tha t records the amount of time
each employee has worked . Employees use the
�•

7.
machine to record when they arrive at work
and when they leave . They do this by pl a cing
a card into the machine which then records the
time on it. This is called ' punching the time
car ' . Each employee has his or her own card.
Calling in
If you are going to be absent or late , always
let your employer know ahead of time . If necessary , call your employer or supervisor to tell
them you will be absent or late and to let
them know the reason.
Probationary period
Many companies have what is called a ' probationary period ' . This refers to the first several
weeks or months that a person works for an
employer. This is considered a ' trial ' period.
The employer evaluates you and your wo~k to see
if you a re a good employee.
Getting paid
Find out from your employer when and how frequently you will receive your pay . Also ask
if someone will be coming to give your pay to
your or if you must go to some central point
to pick it up.
The paycheck
You ma y be paid ei Lher every week , every two
weeks, or once every month. A paycheck usually
has two parts : one part , with your name and
the amount of money you earned , is the check
its~1f; the other part is called the ' stub '
or receipt and lists deductions that have been
made from your total pay.
Every employer makes certain deductions from
employees ' paycheck& There are usually three
deductions (YNL , 57) :
a) Social Security tax (F . I . C. A.)
b) state tax
c) federal tax
Companies which offer fringe benefits (such as
health insurance) to their employees usually
deduct a part of the cost ' of these benefits
from the employees ' paychecks .
Be sure you save all of your check stubs.
Cashing your paycheck
After you have received your paycheck, put' it
in a safe place .
s soon as possible , cash it
or deposit it in a bank. Don ' t sign your name
on the back until you are ready to cashit .
Union and guild dues
( See HMH , 130 . )
In some companies , employees may belong to a
union or guild. To belong to a union , you
must pay a fee , called dues.
�F.
Advancing in a Job
Bec ause man y refugees come into the U.S . with little
English and no job skills they can use right away ,
they usually begin as unskilled workers. However , it is
pn ssible to advance in a job or ot move from an
unsk illed to a ~kill e d job . This i s usually done
by acquiring additional skills through education or
training . (YNL , 59).
1. Learning a skill
M
ost areas of the U. S. have training programs
where you can learn a job skill. Some of these
prog rams are supported by the government.
Others charge tuition . Most of these programs
require some knowledge of English.
a) adult education
Many communities have skills training classes
for adults. These programs provide English
classes and vocational training for people
age 16 and over . The classes usually meet
in high schools in the evening . The re
is a tuition , but it ' s quite low .
b) community colleges
The tuition is usually higher than in
adult education classes . These courses
usually require a good knowledge of Engli sh .
c) vocational-technical schools
These schools specifically teach vocationaltechnical skills. Tuition for these schools
varies.
d) p rivat e schools
For more information about training programs ,
contact the state employment agency, Depar tment

skill s training to students who are seriously
interested in finding skilled jobs (YNL , 62) .
3. Job Corps
This special vocational training program provides
youths aged 16 to 21 from low-income families
with opportunities to finish their high school
or college education and to study a skill at the
same time (YNL , 62).
G.
Changing Jobs
When you are with a company , you may look f or a
bette r job elsewhere and change to your new job
without making your employer angry . However, before
you leave your job (YNL , 63):
1. M
ake sure that you a re certain of another job.
2 . Give your employer at least two weeks ' notice,
so he will have enough time to f ind someone to
replace you .

2. Private schools
In additi on to the public schools , there are

Most areas have schools for children who are
younger than six , sometimes as you ng as two .
These schools are usually called nursery schools
or pre-schools .

these programs , sometimes referred to as ' d a y
care ', children are fed , taken care of , and
given opportunities to play and learn . They
are for children under the age .1of t wo a nd for
other young children not enrolled in pre-school
( YNL, 73) .
5. Enrolling your child in school
It is important that you enroll your child in
school as soon as possible. You must first
find out which school your child should attend.

the school to find out where and when you should
come to enrol l your child . Find out what
documents ~o bring with you. Documents which
you may be required to bring along with your
child include (YNL, 74):
a) I-94
b) any record of your child ' s age , such as
a birth certificate
c ) all of your child ' s available medical records,
or , in some schools , a form completed by your
doctor stating that the child has had a
physical examination
d) immunization r e c ords
e) a document such as a driver ' s license or
a letter that shows you reside in the area
served by the school
If your English is not good, you should bring
someone along to interpret for you and help in

cour ses in certain basic areas of study.
These usually include reading and writing ,
mathematics, history , science , and physical
education (YNL , 77) .
b) teachers
At the elementary leve l, usually one
teacher teaches all subjects to the class .
At the secondary level , different teachers
teach each subject .
c ) styles of learning
Americans believe in ' learning by doing '.
Students are encouraged to acquire knowledge
ac t ively rather than receiving it passively
from the teacher (YNL, 78).
d) counselo rs and nurses
Some schools have counselors and nurses (YNL , 78) .
e) evaluation
Students are evaluated in a number of
different ways. These evaluations are
usually based on attendance , completion
of assignments, tests , and participation
inc ass (YNL , 79).
�f) physical educ ation
Americans believe that an education should
develop the body as well as the mind.
For thi s reason , sports a nd physic a l activity
in schools are popular for both boys and
girls (YNL , 79).
g) sex educatuon
Many schools offer a class that gives
information on the human reproduction
system. Thi B class usually gives the
students information on family planning

clubs after school (YNL , 80).
i) vocational education

is absent from school or arrives late ,
parents are usually required to send a
written note to the school explaining
the student ' s absence or lateness (YNL, 81).
The discipline or punishment may vary,
but physical punishment is not permitted
in most public schools in the U.S. (YNL, 81).
Students are expected to work , learn , and
talte tests independently. Sharing answers
or looking at ano t her student ' s paper is
considered dishonesty and cheating (YNL , 81) .
8. The role of parents
Americans believe that parents should play
an active role in the formal education of their
children. Parents are occasionally invited to
observe their children in school and to discuss
their children ' s progress with the teacher (YNL , 82).
Schools usually send report cards home which
tell parents how their children are doing in school.
M
ost schools also have a Parent-Teacher Association
(PIA) (YNL, 82) .
9. Working and attending school
Many students also work while they are in school
(YNL, 83) .
10 . General Equivalency Diplomas (GED)
Adults who have not finished high school can
attend special classes , even while they work ,
and take a test to get their GED . This is
generally accepted as the equivalent of a high
school diploma.

Beyond high school
Free public education usually ends with high
school. After completing high school , a student
may decide to work or to attend a college or
a vocational/technical school . Things to keep
in mind about study after high school: (See YNL , 84) .
Education for Adults
Most Am ricans believe that you are never too old
to go to school . They respect adults who continue
their education .

take a class that will help them get a better job.
Others take a class only out of interest ( YNL, 85).

want to study English . Most places in the U. S.
have places where non-English speaking adults
can learn English . Some are free ; others
c harge tuition. You £ili1 study Engl ish~
while you are working. The practice you get
in using your English onthe j ob will be very
helpful (YNL , 85) .

�TEACHER'S NOTES
A few suggested drills and activities are included iri the text.
In general the focus should be on speaking and listening, with
reading and writing assigned as homework if desired.
time should be to enable
The aim of class
the student to understand and use the vocabulary
and grammar orally.
Therefore, all terms should be introduced orally and visually first.
When possible real items whould be used in class.
Flashcards and written
dialogues and stories should be used for reenforcement and review.
Choice of drills are left to the teacher's discretion, but those that
require the highest percentage of student conversa:filfllare recommended.
After students can produce the dialogues comfortably, they should use
other vocabulary items
and terms from their own previous knowledge.
Where supplementary vocabulary items are indicated, or if a class
has a low level of English proficiency, the teacher should concentrate
on the most important vocabulary items and attempt to finish all the
topics withinithree-month term period.
Employment orientation is composed of numerous topics related to
employee5 1 performance and job satisfaction.
In some weekly units
vocabulary for ESL and EO are presented separately. In others these
terminologies are integrated.
EX)
terminologies or concepts should be
explained in the most simple form to assure full understanding on the
part of the students.
A review of the company regulations and its
personnel policies by the teacher is essential.
Interpretation services
of bilingual counsellors are strongly recommended.
In addition,
arrangement should be made to involve management staff and personnel
office staff in class presentation.
Curriculum is structured on a daily unit during the first month
of/t~~ining program. For the last two months it is structured into
weekly units.
The following texts can be used in conjunction with this curriculum:

result of a general willingness to give and take and to deal honestly and intelligently
with whatever problems may arise.
Your supervisor is responsible for your fair treatment, therefore, you will usually
find that a talk with your supervisor is the best way to resolve any problem.
However, if you are unhappy with the results of the discussion, you may talk with
the Union Representative who will, in turn, discuss the problem with management
and hopefully resolve the dispute to everyone's satisfaction.

Our management team starts with the supervisors: stitching, finishing, shipping,
and office.
Your supervisor was chosen on the basis of having experience and
training in these areas.
The main responsibility of a supervisor is to direct
and help her or his department so that it will contribute to the efficient and
successful operation of the company.
The stitching supervisor reports to the Production Manager, whose main
responsibility is to coordinate the work flow of goods to meet production deadlines.
The manager also is responsible for the costing of styles and setting
piece rates for styles going into production.
She works closely with the planning
department headed up by the Vice President of Manufacturing.
is based on sales contracts issued by our customers.

�Paying Taxes
In January your employer gives you a W-2 form that shows how
much money you earned during the previous year, and how much
money was withheld for taxes. The federal government Internal
Revenue Service sends you a booklet of federal income tax forms
and instructions. If your state has a state income tax, you also receive a booklet of state income tax forms and instructions.
If you are self-employed, you will not receive a W-2 form. The
instruction booklet explains what other forms you need to fill out.

tain conditions of work. These deal with such things as the proper payment ot craft . minimums, the maintaining of piece-rate schedules, methods
ot distributing work, assignment io other jobs, proper allocation•ot overtime and so on.
YOUR UNION CHAIRPERSON,---------- ELAINE GALLO
To help make sure that these Union conditions are maintained and enforced
through the work day, there is an elected chairperson in every ILGWU factory. The chairperson's responsibility•is to be available to each member
when advice or help is needed, and this includes taking up any complaints
you might have directly with the employer. When you have a question or a
complaint about anything connected with your working conditions or Union
benefits, take it up with your chairperson.
SHOP COMMITTEE,

take up any complaint concerning piece-rates. Each department usually has
a steward to take care of complaints respective to their departments with

PIECE-WORKERS •••• HOW RATES ARE SET
.
&
HOW TO FIGURE YOUR EARNINGS,
Our contract calls for an "ADD-ON" PERCENTAGE on top of the basic piecerate earnings. This percentage figure varies according to the department
and will increase along with contractual increases in craft minimums.
ILGWU contracts also provide a device for establishing minimum piecerate protection, Under this "RATES SHALL BE SET TO YIELD" clause, the
employer is obligated to set rates _ that the average piece-worker has
so
an opportunity to earn over and above hia or hers craft minimum.
At the end of the work day, a worker would figure her or his earnings
thus,
NUMBER OF DOZEN x PJ:BCE~R.t~E• · PIEBE-RATE EARNINGS x ADD-ON PERCENTAGE
S
= TOTAL EARNINGS
REMEMBER, Records are importe.nt---make sure you keep a record of work
you have done and be certain to keep a note of any time lost due to machine breakdowns, waiting for work or other loss of time.
If you have any problems figuring your earnings--SEE YOUR CHAIRPERSON.

III.
PLANT CLOSE-DOWN
Lowell Lingerie closes down its plant twice a year. One time is before
Christmas and the other time is at the beginning of July. When the
plant is closed down, most employees do not work. If they are
eligible for vacation pay, they may request and receive their
vacation pay at this time.
IV.
LAY-OFF
When there is not enough work to do, usually it happens in
January or February, some employees will be laid-off. Lowell
Lingerie will ask some employees not to come to work for one, two
or three weeks.
First the company will ask for volunteers. Some employees may want
to be laid-off so that they can go visiting friends or relatives.
Sometime they just want to get some of their personal works done
at home like paint their house, fix their car, etc ..•
If there is not enough employees volunteer for the lay-off, the
company wi. 1 decide who is going to be laid off. This decision is
1
based on seniority and make-up pay.
Do not get up-set if you are being laia-off. This lay-off is just
a routine. For the past five years nobody was laid-off for m~re than
three weeks and all laid-off employees are called back to work.
While you are being laid-off, you may be eligible for unemployment
benefits. You should go to the Division of Employment Security
and file a claim for unemployment benefits. The Division of
Employment Security is lo.cated at 291 Summer Street in Lowell,
Massachusetts.
A clerk at the Division of Employment Security will help you to fill
out the claim form. He/she will tell you if you are eligible for
benefits. If you are eligible, the clerk will tell you how much
money you will get per week. He/she will also tell you the time and
the day of the week you should come in to the Division of Employment
Security to collect your check.

�MONTH 3, Week 4 continued.
V.
TERMINATION
If for some personal reason, you do not like to work for Lowell
Lingerie any more, you are asked to give a 2 week notice. This
notice can be verbal, just tell your immediate supervisor that
· you will stop working for Lowell Lingerie in two weeks. You do
not have to give a reason why you do not want to work for Lowell
Lingerie. You can also give a written notice. Write a short note
to tell the company that you will stop working in two weeks and
bive this not to your immediate supervisor.
Lowell Lingerie needs a two week notice from you so that it can
hire somebody else to replace you. It is not a good practice to
leave a company without a notice.
You may want to talk it over with your immediate supervisor about
taking a leave of absence before you decide to leave the company.
If you take a leave of absence now, you may be able to come back
and work for the company later on without loosing your seniority
and your benefits.
