10 We have a tight schedule for your short visit. I hope you don’t mind.
Sentence translation: E-C It has been our tradition to eat rice dumplings wrapped up in reed leaves and hold dragon boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival season. Some people say that the United States is a “melting pot”, while others say it is a “salad platter”. We have a tight schedule for your short visit. I hope you don’t mind.

11 Sentence translation: E-C
We gather here today because we know that such challenges do not respect the borders of our individual nations and that only by working together shall we overcome them. And I want us to do more to support people who are struggling to balance family and work. I've heard from so many of you about the difficult choices you face and the stresses that you're under. So let's have paid family leave, earned sick days. Let's be sure we have affordable child care and debt-free college.

12 Your Honor Mr. Mayor, My Chinese friends, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I feel honored to come here on my first visit to your beautiful city. On behalf of all the members of my mission, I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to our host for their earnest invitation and gracious hospitality we have received since we set foot on this charming land. / I am also very happy that this visit has given me an excellent opportunity to convey to you and to the people of Shanghai warm greetings and sincere good wishes of the government and people of my country. Although we live with a distance of thousands of miles between us, “ Long distance separates no bosom friends,” as one of your Tang poets said. Paragraph translation

13 I graduated from university four years ago
I graduated from university four years ago. I had always dreamed of going, and I know how fortunate I am to have had the opportunity to do so. Brown became my home, my community, and I took the ideas and the experiences I had there into all of my social interactions, into my workplace, into my politics, into all aspects of my life. I know that my university experience shaped who I am, and of course, it does for many people. But what if our experience of university shows us that women don’t belong in leadership? What if it shows us that, yes, women can study, but they shouldn’t lead a seminar? What if, as still in many places around the world, it tells us that women don’t belong there at all? Paragraph translation

16 Paragraph translation
You’ll find restaurants for every situation in the United States. If you are in a hurry, you may just want to grab some “junk food” at a grocery store, or you can get a bite to eat at one of the many fast food chains, like McDonald’s, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, or Taco Bell. // Or you can get a hero or submarine sandwich “to stay” or “to go” from a sandwich shop or deli. Some of these places have tables, but many don’t. People eat in their cars or take their food home, to their offices or to parks.//
