Oh god, you barely speak English.

I was talking with a client from the US. Actually I have been dealing with dozens of clients who are native English speaker. I can make myself understood most of the time. But this time, I feel frustrated. I know my English still needs a lot of improvement.
Here it is. I was told this website, www.eslfast.com, where there are 365 stories written in English. I think it is not about how big your vocabulary database is, but how useful those words are. And how fluently you can speak. I was suggested to read one story each day. And I am doing this.
I would also like to share the stories with you here. We are not alone. Let's be good at it.

1. New to America

Nancy was new to America. She came to America speaking only her native language. She brought her 8-year-old son with her. He was all she had in the world.
They found an apartment in Arcadia. They were there for only two months when a neighbor's dog jumped over the fence. The dog ran toward Nancy's son. Nancy put her body in between the dog and her son. The dog stopped when it saw Nancy screaming at it. She was going to punch it in the nose. The dog turned around.
Shaking, Nancy took her son upstairs. They stayed in the apartment all weekend. Then Nancy found another apartment, close to the school that her son was going to attend.
She and her son walked everywhere. One day her son started coughing badly. He had an asthma attack. All the walking was making his asthma worse.
Nancy knew that she had to buy a car. So she called up the Honda dealer. She talked to a salesman who spoke her language. She told him that she wanted to buy a new car if he could come over to pick her up. The salesman said he would be right over.
**** There are audios available for all these stories in the website.****
