Where were you born, Melissa?
I was born in south Korea.
Oh! So you weren't born in the U.S.
No. I came here in 1999.
Hmm. You were pretty young.
Yes, I was only seventeen.
Did you go to the college right away?
No. My English wasn't very good, so I took English classes for two years first.
Well, your English is really good now.
Thanks. Your English is pretty good, too!
Yeah, but I was born here!
