我的新邻居明天就要搬过来了。我和劳工都企盼着新邻居会和过去两个一样好。在
我们住这里的6年中，这已是第3个了。
第一个邻居在我们入住一个月后也搬入了。（两所房子同时在卖）他们是一对伊朗夫妇，两人都很友善，有一儿一女。丈夫自己开了个药房，早出晚归，除了周么平时很少见面，但每次碰面，他总是停下来很友好的聊会儿天儿。妻子在家看孩子，她叫EM[

说来很是惭愧，来美国13年不仅我英语没有达到水平，而且把汉语还丢了大半。
刚来美国时，我的英语基础极差，ESL上倒数地二级。为了尽快掌握英语，我
天天读英文书报，看英语电影，用英英辞典，交不会说中文的朋友。完完全全把自己包容在英语环境中，我抛弃了中文。大约不到两年，我参加了TOFFEL考试，没想到竟然考了600多分。然而，正当我踌躇满志的上护士学[
