In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called "satellite kids", who live in one place but whose parents live in another place. 1.

Asians are immigrating (移民) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. 2. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.

The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. 3. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. 4. Their parents don't realize how sad it is to be a "satellite kid".

Studies have shown being a "satellite kid" means growing up in a country where you know you are different and where you can't make friends because you do not speak English well. What's more, it means growing up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What will these "satellite kids" probably say to their parents? 5.
