昨天，新上任的川普總統在國會做第一個月的述職報告，川普沒有引用任何來源地表示：“許多人都說，我們總統任期的第一個月……是我國曆史上最成功的一個月。” “更令人印象深刻的是，你們知道誰排在第二嗎？喬治·華盛頓！怎麽樣？我不太清楚這個榜單的來源，但我們就接受吧”。（"It has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency ... is the most successful in the history of our nation," Trump said without citing any source. "And what makes it even more impressive is that, do you know who number two is George Washington? How about that? I don't know about that list, but we'll take it."）
xx teenager Y recently won an honorable mention in Family Travel Forum’s third annual teen travel writing contest. Y’s work, “A French Connection,” was selected out of 8,500 entries.
“I was happy when I found out I won,” Y said. “It’s a good thing to put on a college application and it’s also an affirmation of my writing ability.”
Y’s piece told the story of his time living in Paris for six months while his mother worked at a research facility. He told the story of meeting a girl at his school who spoke Chinese, their friendship forming fast in the midst of French language barriers.
“Her mind shot from one place to another; she’d ask questions like, ‘Would Garfield beat Snoopy in a fight?’ or ‘How many milk duds can I fit in my mouth?'” Y wrote. “She was like those in-between channels on the radio where two stations broadcasted over each other.”
Y is a little shy talking about his childhood romance but said it was cool to put the story down on paper about the girl he still clearly remembers wearing his green jacket on the last day of school.
While Y said he enjoys writing, he is not interested in pursuing it as a career. He likes photography but is also considering medical school.

“I really want to go to college and I am just hoping to get into a good school,” Y said.
