Cross - Cultural Encounter

As I waited for ESL students at my table Two students came an sat near me They had come last week One woman hailed from Bangla - Desh The young man from war - torn Yemen I went over some points of English grammar with them As we reviewed prepositions I began to wonder what the fighting is all about They know I'm a Jew They are trying - like millions of others in this metropolis to build a decent life for themselves here They have probably never heard of the Turtles But I have found that bridges can be built between cultures Believe it - if we persist Then bridges can be built!
