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!
