We also meet her boyfriend Matt who doesn't think much of her dream, and her 17-year-old brother, Kevin, who doesn't think much about the future at all.

We also meet real-life immigrants and students who discuss the similarities between Rebecca's experiences and their own. Go to this unit.
The Best Fun Videos For English Language Learners In 2014 – Part One
I use short, funny video clips a lot when I’m teaching ELLs, and you can read in detail about how I use them in The Best Popular Movies/TV Shows For ESL/EFL (& How To Use Them).
