It’s the Newcomers[br]High School.

0:00:21.970,0:00:25.210

I’m talking to some [br]of the students now.

0:00:27.680,0:00:31.360
I’m here with Fatima, a student[br]at Newcomers High School.

0:00:31.360,0:00:32.360
Hi, Fatima.

0:00:32.360,0:00:33.489

There are two people here with you.

0:00:56.770,0:00:57.770
Who are they?

0:00:57.770,0:01:00.550

0:01:30.170,0:01:34.130
The rain forest is beautiful[br]and interesting.

It’s fun, too!

0:01:36.259,0:01:37.879
Rachel: [br]It looks fun!

0:01:37.879,0:01:39.719

0:01:48.599,0:01:51.220
And here are some[br]pictures of my family.

0:01:51.220,0:01:52.420
He’s my brother.

0:01:52.420,0:01:54.910
He’s a university student[br]in China.

0:01:54.910,0:01:56.119

Rachel: Fatima, Camilia, and Cai[br]all speak English in school,

0:02:14.330,0:02:16.740
but they speak different[br]languages at home.

0:02:16.740,0:02:20.090
So, Fatima, [br]your first language is Arabic?

0:02:20.090,0:02:21.509
Fatima: [br]Yes, it is.

0:02:21.509,0:02:23.210
I also speak French.

0:02:23.210,0:02:26.050
Rachel: [br]OK, so you speak three languages:

0:02:26.050,0:02:28.780
Arabic, French,[br]and English.

0:02:28.780,0:02:29.740
Fatima: [br]Yes.

0:02:29.740,0:02:30.880
That’s right.

And now it’s time[br]to say good-bye.

0:02:48.380,0:02:52.849
How do you say good-bye in Arabic,[br]Cantonese, and Spanish?

0:02:52.849,0:02:54.749
Fatima: [br]Ma'asalama.

0:02:54.749,0:02:56.029
