To Have a Try or to Give up To Have a Try or to Give up Two weeks ago, a friend of mine told me that one of her friends eventually had found a home stay for her son near the middle school which is called Hendersonville Christian Academy, Tennessean, US and she would not have to accompany her son reading any longer. She is coming back Beijing in the middle of next January, but she still has two months’ renting left in the USA. So my friend thinks it a good chance to take her son to live and read there for a short time, but she cannot speak English and has never lived in the US before. Her son and my daughter were classmates during the period of their primary school. That reminded her of me. She advised me to take my daughter to share the house and two kids try reading there together. My daughter and I were all very excited about the idea when we heard of the news, because we have never been to the US before. But my husband was strongly against the plan due to one question that we really have no answer and even never think of, that is, ‘Are you sure you will be totally safe there?’ I am still at the fence after both my friend strongly persuaded me of going there and my husband was firmly against me of doing that. 两周前，我的一个朋友告诉我， 她的一个朋友在美国田纳西州Hendersonville Christian Academy中学附近，终于给儿子找到了一个寄宿家庭，所以她再也不用陪读了。她打算明年1月中旬回北京，但她美国的房子还会剩两个月租期。我的这个朋友就想，这是一个带她儿子到那住下并试读那所中学的好机会。可是她不懂英语，也没有在美国住过。 她儿子和我女儿是小学同学，于是她想起了我。她建议我带女儿跟她们同去，让俩孩子一起试读那所中学。我和女儿一听这消息就非常兴奋，因为我们从没去过美国。但是我丈夫坚决反对这个计划，出于一个问题：“你们能确保在那安全吗？”我们真的无法回答，甚至从来都没想到过这个问题。 在我朋友的极力劝荐下和我丈夫的坚决反对下，我仍在犹豫不决。 I would be very appreciated if someone could correct some parts of it.
