her first day at the language school, they gave her a test, and the teacher told her, "We'll put you in the top class."

She was very pleased to hear that, and she proudly told all her friends at home: "I'm one of the best students!". Rut

another country!" she thought. At the end of two weeks, her English was much better, but she was happy to return
