Min Zhan- Lu Essay

Reading the essay on Min Zhan-Lu makes me realize how easy it was for me to learn. Lu's learning environment was that to my point of view of everyone learning what was needed. She was raised by parents who stressed learning English was important in the world. When she attended school she was the student that stood out from the rest. Lu must of had the feeling of guilt when her classmates only knew the native tounge. I can understand why she felt that way knowing that only she and the teacher were the only people who know of English. In my point of view based of this essay I think everyone should learn a second language. Yes in the United States 90 times out of a 100 you would only need to know English. What about the other 10 times? What are you going to do? I know what I would do, find a way to at least know the basics of another language.
