以下是访谈的其中一段内容！
Lily：When I was at the orientation, there was this question constantly popping up in my head, I know there are lots of students who probably speak really minimal English, (Alexis: Yup, very true!) Would they understand you?
我问：当我在新生训练的时候，我的脑海里总是闪出这样的问题，我知道有很多学生来这里学习时只说很少的英语，（Alexis：真的！）他们会理解你吗？
Alexis:
One reason we use the powerpoint, is to help students who have very low English, we use photos, we use pictures, we use numbers to help with seeing, also what we were saying. And you know, sales offices, before students come here, also know all of this, and I ask them to also communicate with and maybe in their native language, which is very helpful.
Alexis回答：这也是我们为什么用投影片来帮助我们的英语程度较差的学生，我们用照片、图片、数字来帮助他们理解我们说话的内容。然后，在学生居住当地的办公室的销售人员也会知道我们讲的东西，他们会在学生来之前用母语帮助他们理解这些细节。
And sometimes too, we will have other students, you know, let’s say there’s someone having trouble and I know there’s a C-level student who speaks the same language, and I’ll say, you know what, let me grab so-and-so, and hey, do you mind helping me? We’ll have a conversation where it’ll be translated…also it’s nice to meet someone that speaks the same language, so there’s two things so that’s really good.
有时候我们也会找高级班的学生，我会拜托他们帮我翻译母语给这些学生，然后他们也有机会认识彼此，这样可以一石二鸟，真的很棒。
