English both in her class and in the interview, and she regarded herself as an automatic speaker of English though she also admitted making mistakes. However, she was not bothered by these mistakes. She said, “[s]ince I talk to a lot of native speakers, they make a lot of mistakes, too”. Before she went to U.S. for her last year high school education, she was an honor student in the high school where she studied in China, which means that she had achieved remarkable academic record in English. As Dinny claimed, “Before you go there (U.S.), you have to be really good in English”. This also made Dinny different from the other two interviewees, who confessed having forgotten the grammatical rules they learnt in China. Dinny admitted that she still remembered what she had learnt in China and used it in writing more consciously than in speaking. Obviously, she had a more positive attitude towards her learning experience in China and saw herself as a successful learner of the language both in China and in North America.
