Were you born in the U . S . , Melissa ?   No , I wasn't . I came here in 1992 .   How old were you ?   I was seventeen .   So , did you go to college right away ?   No , because my English wasn't very good . I studied English for two years first .   Wow , your English is really fluent now .   Thanks . Your English is pretty good , too .   Yeah , but I was born here ! !
