classmates is her age—73 years. She has been studying at college,
a few courses at a time, for 27 years.
When Lilian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to
the bank to borrow money for the further education. The banker
gave her no encouragement. He didn't think that a country girl
should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be
at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lilian
Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of
going to college. Mrs. Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a
higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.
She finds the hardest part of going back to school at her age
is to sit in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as quick
as she used to be, Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around
classes to keep from getting stiff (僵硬).At the beginning of a
course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give
her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained
why she was there and what her aims were.

A Speech about My Hometown
My lovely hometown is located on the south shore of an
island. It's a small town with only about 9,000 people and an area
of about 3.8 square miles.
First, I want to talk about the people in the neighborhood.

The greatest part about the town, in my opinion, is the
