as a new immigratant from non english speaking country,my biggest problem is language.because under chinese teaching mode,most of us can read,write,but cannot speak fluently,listenning is especially worse.
so compared with u guys,we have to shortcome much barrier to adjust
for new life!
wish make friends with u,not only for improving english  |
