9.Amanda Moore noticed that the new student at school always sat alone at lunch.She felt bad about that.The 10-year-old girl decided to befriend Rafael Anaya,but she also noticed something else-he struggled to understand English.Instead of letting that stop her,she used Google Translate to handwrite a note in Spanish asking him to join her for lunch.Her act earned her the"Student of the Month"award for October at her school.
Rafael had moved to Temecula,California from Mexico at the beginning of the school year.He often cried after returning home from school because he felt so lonely.Amanda didn't know that when she wrote the letter.She simply knew that he spoke Spanish and that he was lonely.She spent the afternoon carefully writing a letter.When she got home,she couldn't wait to tell her mother,Kimber Kinard,about the letter,wanting her to proofread(校對) it.
But Kinard felt confused,because she didn't understand Spanish,either.So Amanda helped her use the app to understand it.Kinard was excited and tearful because she thought it was the nicest thing.The note read:"Would you like to sit with me today?Look for me and I will show you where I sit.We can chat or simply tell interesting stories."
The next day,Amanda handed the note to Rafael.He gave her a hug.But it wasn't until their maths class that he said"yes"to lunch.The two have been sitting together ever since.
The note helped Rafael feel more comfortable and encouraged him to work harder on his English.He really wants to learn English to talk to Amanda.
The two use gestures and Google Translate to communicate now,but they hope it will become easier when Rafael's English improves.And Amanda is learning some Spanish.
