Were you born in the U.S., Melissa? No, I wasn’t. I came here in 1992. How old were you? I was seventeen. So, did you go to college right away? No, because my English wasn’t very good. I studied English for two years first. Wow, your English is really fluent now. Thanks. Your English is pretty good, too. Yeah, but I was born here!!

Can you help me, please? Is there a public restroom near here?  I’m sorry, but I don’t think so. Oh, no!! My son needs a bathroom. Well, there’s a department store on Grant Street.
