The hilarious, poignant, true story of one teen's experience growing up in America as an undocumented immigrant from the Middle East.

At thirteen, bright-eyed, straight-A student Sara Saedi uncovered a terrible family secret: she was breaking the law simply by living in the United States. Only two years old when her parents fled Iran, she didn't learn of her undocumented status until her older sister wanted to apply for an after-school job, but couldn't because she didn't have a Social Security number.

Fear of deportation kept Sara up at night, but it didn't keep her from being a teenager. She desperately wanted a green card, along with clear skin, her own car, and a boyfriend.

From discovering that her parents secretly divorced to facilitate her mother's green card application to learning how to tame her unibrow, Sara pivots gracefully from the terrifying prospect that she might be kicked out of the country to the almost-as-terrifying possibility that she might be the only one without a date to the prom. This moving, often hilarious story is for anyone who has ever shared either fear.

    最近一直被好多家长安推荐abc少儿英语,出于好奇就上网想了解下英语怎么样,一打就看见代言人是孙俪。说实话,立马对英语怎么样的第一印象就很不错了,毕竟代言人跟产品是息息相关。然后我有问问同事和朋友,反馈都不错,我就给孩子报名了。

    情景表演满足了学生的心理需求,他们愿意向同学展示自己的表演才能。情境表演不仅加深了学生对情境的理解,而且帮助他们学习在什么样的情境下该说什么样的话,使他们善于表达。

    现在孩子的教育问题似乎成了妈妈们必备的课程,每次在一起讨论的不是自己的老公就是孩子的教育问题,当然啦报辅导班是肯定要讨论的,好多家长都是报的实体教育班,前阵子我给孩子报的是英语,效果很是不错的,前几天家长会的时候老师表扬了我家孩子,当然啦要发言的啦,谈谈教育之道,我当然是推荐了英语,当然啦我作为母亲的也是有功劳的啦!

    英语词汇量大,内容复杂,但词汇本身也有一定的规律性。在学习中,只要掌握构词的应用方法,不仅可以提高记忆的效率,而且可以灵活运用。

    不得不佩服小宝贝的眼光,选的老师不仅符合了她要求的年轻、漂亮、长发、最重要超级有耐心,温柔又有爱,上课道具很多,很认真负责。对于小龄的孩子来说,固定老师真的很重要。DaDa”专属陪伴”的理念够抓心。谢谢英语,希望能够继续保持。

    网上看到很多家,难以抉择,还是视听对比,我的孩子对英语兴趣一般,给孩子报的是英语的青少英语课程,这里的教学是欧美外教,孩子上课中,不仅仅学习到英语,这里的老师还会锻炼孩子学习英语的兴趣和培养孩子学习习惯,我感觉到是挺个性化的,比较靠谱。
