Why Teach English? Example 3
There’s a brand new bottle of Buttermilk Ranch salad dressing in my fridge that hasn’t been opened since it was bought three months ago. I asked my dad, who has a limited understanding of English, if he knew who bought the salad dressing. “I did,” he said in Vietnamese. “I wanted mayonnaise to use with my hamburger, but didn’t see the salad picture. It’s not for hamburger.”
So. Volunteer to teach English, and save people like my dad an extra trip to the market for a bottle of mayonnaise.
