Read the story and answer the questions:
Johnny asked Dotty how her first day in her Duarte ESL class was. It was terrible, she told him. She didn't understand what the Level 4 teacher said. He spoke too fast for her.
When the teacher asked if there were any questions, she told him that she didn't understand most of what he said. He told her not to worry; she could take the class again if she failed it the first time. But she didn't want to fail.
He gave them homework the first day, of course. They needed to write a paragraph with 15 sentences about their country. Dotty said she couldn't write it in English. She showed Johnny the textbook. When she tried to read just a few pages it gave her a headache. On top of that was all the new vocabulary on each page. "I'm going to drop the class," she said. She wanted to cry. When was she ever going to learn this language?
