Because the packet was in English? How's that one. Think about it. These guys were on their way to Montana for English enrichment. Must be a reason for that.
You're assuming alot there. You have no idea whether the packet was in English ONLY, or that they had no knowledge of the English language at all. If they were coming here to learn the English language, why would a college send them packets in English ONLY and not provide appropriate instructions through an interpretor for them to follow? You're not a social worker are you?
