As an ENL student.some time in my another class I don’t ever Know what  Teacher saying .because I don’t know a lot of word.English. It  is too hard for me but I’m good at math. But I don’t have math this year and I got geometry class. I always forget the English words. My Memory is very bad.Maybe soon I will forget  the word I learn last week.

I feel good because I am bilingual in Chinese and English. It is important because I can help people with both languages. I can get a better job in the future by being bilingual.In my native Country, i know 3 different dialects. But it useless cause most people only speak one dialect. Learning new languages is very important and helpful but dialect is useless.                                                                                      

I think dialects are useless, but not 100% useless. All things have their meaning of existence. In my country most people speak Mandarin. But usually people speak their own dialects in their own place. A few people don’t know how to speak Mandarin because they never leave their place and  never learn Mandarin. So dialects are very important in my country. But I think dialects are useless in the US because there are only a few and they are almost the same as English. Even if a person speaks a dialect and another person speaks English, they will still understand what each other is saying.
