B

A new family moved in next door and I got to meet the mother of the family, Lydia. Lydia is Korean, and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school. We started talking, and she was apologetic about how bad her English was, but I didn’t care. I knew how hard it was to learn a second language. I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play.

It was what came next that challenged me: Lydia asked if I’d be willing to help her with her English. N ow, I am not a teacher. I admire teachers, and I’m grateful for teachers, and it’s because I admire what they do so much that I was very, very sure that I couldn’t do it myself. But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help. I was doubtful. I wasn’t sure my “help” was even worth being called by that name. But because she asked me, I said “yes.”And that was the beginning of our friendship. Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper, and as we did, she asked me questions when she had them —questions about language, yes, but also questions about the new culture she found herself in.

In turn, I asked my own questions, growing curious about her home country and culture. We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs. When I complimented (恭维)her cooking, she began to teach me about Korean food, eventually leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city. Because of Lydia, I learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself.

I’m still not sure that I’m any good as a teacher. But I’m grateful I said “yes” when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English. That meant spending extra time with my neighbor, and that extra time meant she didn’t remai n just my neighbor. She became my friend.

4．What was Lydia sorry about?
