I wonder if she speaks fluent English ....

My roommate's mother came to United States to visit her son, and stayed at the townhouse we living in. A while ago I woke up from a 3 hour sleep (yeah somehow I had an urge to sleep for a while) and chatted with her while she walked by and gave me souvenirs . She came from Singapore, and so she probably speaks fluent English. Yet since she started talking to me in Mandarin, so I naturally responded to her with Mandarin.

It must be ultra painful for her to understand my broken Mandarin, but we still managed to chat for 10 to 15 minutes.

The main thing she said: walk around after using computer for an hour, and drink a lot of water.

OK.
