What do you think your life would be like if you couldn’t read the signs on the side of the roads, the articles in a magazine, or simply understand what your teacher is saying when she is trying to teach a lesson to everyone? What if you moved far away from where you born or maybe not far away but to a different county? You moved to a new county that was very different from where you came from.
