/kloc-a 0/7-year-old girl from China was admitted to Harvard and Yale with a composition. What happened?

/kloc-Cassandra Hsiao, a 0/7-year-old Chinese-American girl, has received admission notices from all rattan schools. In addition, Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Northwest University and other famous schools also extended an olive branch to her. Xiao Jingtong * * * applied for the writing or journalism department of 14 school. Up to now, all the schools she applied for have opened their doors to her.

Xiao Jingtong was born in Malaysia. His father is from Taiwan Province Province and his mother is from Malaysia. Xiao Jingtong moved to America with his parents when he was 5 years old. He has experienced language and cultural conflicts and sufferings since he was a child. When she first arrived in the United States, Xiao Jingtong and her mother were often ridiculed because of their nonstandard pronunciation and great obstacles in communication. Because of this, Xiao Jingtong's mother began to pay attention to cultivating Xiao Jingtong to speak correct English. In this process, many interesting things have happened, and there are also many inhuman bitterness to others.

The experience of joy and tears when I was young just contributed to Xiao Jingtong's success. Xiao Jingtong described his family, a first-generation immigrant family from China, all kinds of ups and downs in the process of learning English. The article describes the characteristics of new immigrants, with real details and touching plots, which touched the admissions officers of many famous schools such as Bateng School.

In our family, English is not English. Not in the phonetic sense, like short? Answer? Is it for? Apple, but in pronunciation-in our home? Snakes? Is it? Snacks. Words can't roll out of our tongues correctly-however, I, she was called out of class to see a language expert, my mother from Malaysia, who pronounces? Movies? As? Movies, understand each other perfectly. In our family, English is not English, not English in phonetics (for example, A stands for Apple), but English in pronunciation. In our family, "snake" is pronounced "snake" (snack). We can't blurt out English words correctly I am often found in class and ask a language expert to correct my pronunciation. My mother from Malaysia always says "movie" is "movie". But we can totally understand each other.

In our family, is there no difference? Actor? And then what? Cash, that's why people make fun of me at the church retreat. Drive away the devil. " Until my teacher corrected mine? Hammock? Spoons, and? Siphon. Because of my pronunciation, my classmates all laughed? Accept? As? Except,? Success? As? Saces. I am in the creative writing library, but I can't find the right words when I need them most. In my family, there is no difference between "investment" and "cash", which is why people often make fun of what I call "cash exorcism" at church retirement meetings. I didn't realize the difference between these two English words until the teacher corrected my pronunciation of hammock, spoon and siphon. The students laughed at me because I regarded acceptance as an exception and success as success. Although I have participated in creative writing, I often can't express my ideas.

Suddenly, understand? Flowers? Is it? Flour? Not enough. I refused English, which never seemed to be broken before. This language nurtured me and taught me everything I knew. Everyone else's parents spoke with an accent that was dissatisfied with the positions of doctors and university teachers. Why can't mine? It suddenly dawned on me that it is not enough to know that "flower" is pronounced the same as "flower". I began to get rid of the English that taught me everything when I grew up. Since other people's parents can speak English as fluently as doctors and university professors, why can't my parents?

My mother spread out her sun-tanned hands and said, "This is where I come from." She made up a story in her self-taught English. My mother spread out her hands tanned by the sun and said, "This is where I came from", and then told a story in self-taught English.

When my mother moved from her village to a town in Malaysia, she had to learn a brand-new language in middle school: English. In an era of encouraging humiliation, my mother was unprepared for the cruel words from the teacher, who criticized her paper in front of the whole class. When she began to cry, the monitor stopped her and said, "That's enough." When my mother was still in Malaysia, she moved from a small village to a town. When she was in junior high school, she had to learn a brand-new language: English. At that time, many people took pleasure in humiliating others. She can only endure the teacher's severe criticism of her composition in front of the whole class. When she began to cry, the monitor stood up and said "enough".

"Be like that monitor," mom said with tears in her eyes. The monitor protected her and patiently corrected my mother's language mistakes. "She stood on the side of the weak and fought back in her own language." My mother said with tears, "Be like that monitor." The monitor defended her everywhere and patiently corrected her language. "She stood up for the weak and fought back in her own words."

We all cried. My mother asked me to teach her correct English so that the old white lady at Target wouldn't laugh at her pronunciation. It's not easy. I felt guilty when I sewed her letters together. Long vowels, double consistency-I'm still learning it myself. Sometimes, I let this hurt so as not to hurt her self-esteem, but maybe I hurt her more so as not to hurt my self-esteem. We all cried. Mom asked me to teach her correct English, so that the old white lady in Target would not laugh at her pronunciation. It is not easy. I felt guilty when I put her words together. Long vowels and double consonants, in fact, I am still learning these myself. Sometimes, she doesn't speak well, and I pretend not to know, so as not to hurt her self-esteem, but it will only hurt her more.

As my mother's vocabulary began to increase, I improved my English myself. By performing poems in front of 3000 students, interviewing people from all walks of life and writing stories for the stage, I oppose neglect and become a spokesman for the homeless, refugees and neglected. With the increase of my mother's English vocabulary, my English is also improving. At the end of the semester, I read poems in front of more than 3,000 people, interviewed people from all walks of life and wrote stage plays to stand up against ignorance and speak for the homeless, refugees and vulnerable groups.

Use my words to refute the ridicule of an old Asian street performer on the new york subway. My mother's eyes are reflected in the poor ESL children. They have too many stories to tell, but they don't know how to tell them. When they made tapestries with needles and threads, I filled them with words. I used my own language to respond to the voices of Asian elderly people who laughed at performing arts in the new york subway. I seem to see my mother from those disadvantaged children whose mother tongue is not English. They have many stories to tell, but they don't know how to tell them. I teach them to speak English, and they can also make up their own stories.

In our family, the way we talk to each other is beautiful. In our family, language is not broken, but full of emotion. We built a house with words. There are friendly snakes in the cupboard and snacks in the water tank. This is a crooked house. It's a little messy But this is where we settle down. In my family, the way family members talk has its own beauty. In my family, our language is not so much "broken" as full of emotion. We built a house in our own language. In this house, there is a harmless snake in the closet, but there is a snake in the pool. This home is a bit different and messy, but because of this, this is our home.

Xiao Jingtong's exquisite writing not only touched all the admission judges, but also made many Asian families sing for it. Many immigrant families have experienced many obstacles in the process of learning a language capital.
