FROM GRAMMAR TO WRITING highlands, while Washington was built on a
1 Brasília and Washington, D.C. Citizens of Brasília and citizens of Washington, D.C., live on different continents, but their cities still have a lot in common. Brasília is its nation’s capital, and so is Washington. Brasília did not exist before it was planned and built as the national capital. Neither did Washington. Both cities were designed by a single person, and both have a definite shape. However, twentieth century Brasília’s shape is modern—that of an airplane—but eighteenth century Washington’s isn’t. Its streets form a wheel. The cities reflect their differences in location and age. Brasília is located in a dry area in the
swamp. As a result, Brasília has moderate temperatures all year. But Washington doesn’t. It is famous for its cold winters and hot, humid summers. Brasília was built 600 miles from the Atlantic coast in order to attract people to an unpopulated area. Washington, near the Atlantic coast, includes old towns that had already existed. Brasília is home to the national theater and famous museums, and so is Washington. However, as a new city, Brasília has not yet become its nation’s real cultural center. Washington hasn’t either. Washington is its country’s capital, but it is not its country’s most popular city. Neither is Brasília. Many residents still prefer the excitement of Rio and New York to their nations’ capitals.

Ben Fong-Torres was born in Alameda, California, in 1945. He was the son of firstgeneration Chinese parents. His father had emigrated to the United States in 1929, when the Exclusion Act, which limited the number of Chinese entering the country, was still in effect. To avoid this obstacle, his father went first to the Philippines, where he obtained a birth certificate and added Torres to his name. Ben’s mother came to the United States ten years later, when their marriage was arranged by relatives. Ben, along with his brother and sister, grew up in Oakland, California, where there was a large Chinese community. His family owned a Chinese restaurant, in which all the children worked when they were not in school. Ben’s parents, whose views were quite traditional, were a little surprised and concerned by their children’s love for U.S. culture. Ben was an enthusiastic reader or cartoons and a fan of popular music, which he heard on the radio. At the age of twelve, Ben went with his father to Texas, where they opened another Chinese restaurant. It was a difficult time for Ben, among people who had had no previous contact with Asians. Back in Oakland, after the failure of the restaurant, Ben got jobs writing for various magazines and newspapers. After graduation from college in 1966, he wrote for Rolling Stone magazine, which covered stories about contemporary U.S. political and cultural life. His interviews with hundreds of famous musicians included the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Grace Slick, and an interview with Ray Charles, for which he won the Deems Taylor award. Fong-Torres was also a DJ for San Francisco radio station KSAN, which plays rock music, and in 1976 he won an award for broadcasting excellence. Today Fong-Torres lives in San Francisco with Diane Sweet, who he married in 1976.

FROM GRAMMAR TO WRITING
1 Octavio Paz is considered one of the greatest writers that the Spanish-speaking world has produced. He was born in Mexico in 1914. As a child, he was exposed to writing by his grandfather and father. His childhood was hard because of his father’s political activities, which forced his family into exile and poverty. Paz began writing early. He published his first poem at 16. He attended law school in Mexico City, where he joined a Marxist student group.
