“Talking in the New Land” by Edite Cunhã. 

The story is about Edite’s experience of moving to Massachusetts from Portugal when she was seven years old. She began learning English in her new school and by the time she was nine, she could speak English very well. 

Her father bought a big house on Tremont Street and they moved there. Edite loved playing in the lawn at the side of the house which was covered with tall lilac bushes. 

Edite’s father couldn’t speak English very well, and he always call Edite to be his voice whenever he needed to communicate with someone. Edite had to talk on the telephone to a woman who wanted some old dishes, but the woman didn’t seem to understand what Edite was saying. Every few days, the woman would call and Edite would have to talk to her again. 

Once the woman came and talked to Edite’s father personally about the dishes. But Edite’s father refuse her request. Edite and her mom try to persuade her father to give those old dished to the woman, but he didn’t agree. He mentioned again and again to the woman, everything in the house were belong to him, because he was the house owner now.

Edite’s father would always call her to do something only she could do, and she would have to drop whatever she was doing to take care of it.
