When I arrived in the US, I felt very sad because life in the US was different from life in my country. My first day of school was at Takoma Park Middle School in March last year. I was very nervous in that morning and I didn't want to get up. When I went to my first class, I didn't know what to do because I didn't know what the teacher said. But there were many people who spoke the same language as me, while some of them were laughing at me, because they came before me and they understood the language better than me. But there were three girls who helped me. Their names are Maryori, Jezabel and Beverly. As the days passed, I had some new friends and Beverly became my best friend. She always helped me with my study. Three months later, the school year ended and I had to come to Blair High School. On my first day of school at Blair, I felt it was different from my first day in middle school because it was a beginning of a new school year and there were many new students. I felt better because I knew that I wasn't the only new student. That day I met new friends.

It seems to be strange that there is a blind spot in the eye. Here is an interesting experiment that can make something _ when one eye is open. Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters "L" and "R" on it. "L" is on the left and "R" on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you can see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter "R" only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you'll find the letter "L" disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed; you'll find the letter "R" disappearing. Why do the letters disappear? It is because there is a blind spot in the eye. When the image of the letter falls on the blind spot, it won't be seen. That's why one of the letters disappears. The writer of the passage thinks that _ there is a blind spot in the eye.
