Passage 16 (2017·陕西)
话题:儿子会双语
词数:346
About 30 years ago,I left Cuba for the United States with my son.After getting settled finally in Brunswick,New Jersey,I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten.Several weeks later,my sons teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
In the teacher’s office,an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)?Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No,no,it cant be.What a helpless,lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet,sweet little boy,instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teachers directions,he told me,and thus,Scola was disrupting the class.Didnt he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry:“Why hasnt your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”
No,I didnt speak English at home,I replied.I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months,and I didnt want him to forget his native language.Well,wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country,never wanting to be a part of this society?”
