I Am Upset

I am upset today! Three things have made me mad. First, yesterday the school gave us a test to evaluate each student's English level. It was not too hard, but to me it was hard. The second thing happened the other morning. My husband and I went to see a doctor. The doctor talked to us about my husband's right hand problem, but I didn't understand much. The third thing is when I want to talk to people in English, but nobody understands me. I have been here almost three years. What is the best way for me to learn English? How much longer do I have to study before I can speak English well? I hate it! It gives me a bad feeling.

Who Was Important To Me

The person who has influenced me most in my life is my grandmother. I admire my grandmother for three reasons. First, she has compassion. She helped poor people when she was not rich. Second, she has patience and determination. When my mother got cancer, she took my mother to the hospital in Shanghai. Third, she was friendly and strong. When her friend was very sick, she took care of her and stayed with her a long time at my home. So, my grandmother has been very important to me in my life.
