The first interviewee is I . Belmonte . He said he simply wanted to stay in the United States and live in New York all his life (Belmonte , 2007 His reasons include the following

First of all , the person he loves the most lives in New York City (Belmonte , 2007 . He said that she is not ready to move to another place so he decided he might as well stay (Belmonte , 2007 . Second , his work is in New York (Belmonte , 2007 . He is a medical doctor and it is also where

he is known for his specialization , which is neurosurgery (Belmonte , 2007 . All his friends and clients are all just around and near New York City , thus , he feels that if he moves then it might be the end of his career as well (Belmonte , 2007 . Last but not least , he already built his dream house in New York City and so he does not want to live in any other house or any other place anymore (Belmonte , 2007 He built a house with the best kitchen , extremely nice bathrooms , cozy library , colorful playroom , wine cellar etc (Belmonte , 2007

Meanwhile , I interviewed M .C . Pintoy and she told me that if she were given the opportunity to live in a certain place , that would be in the Philippines (Pintoy , 2007 . She said that she traveled to the Philippines along with her family a few years ago and stayed for a two-week vacation (Pintoy , 2007 . She claimed that out of all the places she 's been to , Philippines is where she experienced being treated so nicely by the people (Pintoy , 2007 . She said the people are extremely friendly in spite of the fact that Philippines experiences economic crisis (Pintoy , 2007 . Another reason why she desires to live in the Philippines is that , children are well trained to respect people who are older than them , it is a part of the Philippine culture which she admire most and would like her children to learn as well (Pintoy , 2007

On a final note , similar to I . Belmonte , I would also love to stay in New York because : the one I love most lives there as well 2 ) my career is at its peak and I feel that if I leave , that would end my career as well and 3 ) my dream house is built there too References
