我的新鄰居明天就要搬過來了。我和勞工都企盼著新鄰居會和過去兩個一樣好。在
我們住這裏的6年中，這已是第3個了。
第一個鄰居在我們入住一個月後也搬入了。（兩所房子同時在賣）他們是一對伊朗夫婦，兩人都很友善，有一兒一女。丈夫自己開了個藥房，早出晚歸，除了周麽平時很少見麵，但每次碰麵，他總是停下來很友好的聊會兒天兒。妻子在家看孩子，她叫EM[

說來很是慚愧，來美國13年不僅我英語沒有達到水平，而且把漢語還丟了大半。
剛來美國時，我的英語基礎極差，ESL上倒數地二級。為了盡快掌握英語，我
天天讀英文書報，看英語電影，用英英辭典，交不會說中文的朋友。完完全全把自己包容在英語環境中，我拋棄了中文。大約不到兩年，我參加了TOFFEL考試，沒想到竟然考了600多分。然而，正當我躊躇滿誌的上護士學[

昨天發生的槍殺事件，使人們又談論起了槍支控製。本人很讚同加緊背景檢查及槍支加鎖等安全措施。但我認為取消個人擁有槍支的權利是不可行的。擁有槍支和言論自由詩美國立國憲法，是一個自由人的基本權利。如果個人不需有槍我們舉無法保護自己。就如同昨天的事件，有一個教授用自己的身體頂著門試圖阻止歹徒進入教室，歹徒不僅槍殺了他還有他的6個學生。如果此[
