This is Teacher Jennifer from US Citizenship Podcast.
Every week we bring you practice interviews, quizzes, resources,
and the latest news that help you get ready for your US Citizenship Interview.
Before we begin, we would like to mark the passing of Senator John McCain.
In the Democratic strongholds of San Jose and Milpitas,
this Republican senator is held in high esteem
as a warrior who pursued peace out of his deep respect for the Vietnamese people.
His wisdom will be deeply missed.
Because it is the beginning of the school,
we going to listen to an easy Interview of 21 Citizenship questions based on the N- 400.
Then we are going to listen to some geography
and 10 civics questions ending with the number one (USCIS 100:01, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91).
