This is a story of a girl, who was my friend. She was born in the same town with me. At the age of 8 she became more interested in English language.
Later she met John. John was an American guy with curly hair and shiny eyes. He helped her to learn English. Now she can speak English fluently.
And she started to work as a translator in Parliament. Most of her friends say that she is very intelligent. She made perfect career. But it's not surprising that she found rich senator there and they started to live together. Finally they got married. This is how English can be useful.
