Over the years, as the result of our experience and contact with individuals from other countries, we’ve become aware of their frequent need for help to meet the challenges of daily living. In this column, we try to offer advice to “Yin,” a composite of the many professionals, students, and visitors we’ve encountered over the years.
多年来，因我们的经力加上和从他乡友人的交往，我们感到他们应付日常生活的艰难。我们试探给阴提供建议。阴是我们从多年和其他行业的职员，学生和游客交流后创造的人物。
Yin asks: Where can a person take ESL classes in the evening/weekend?
Q: A friend of mine will be coming to Pittsburgh soon for a 3-month professional seminar, and he wants to receive some additional ESL help to improve his English. How can he find out what’s available?
阴问：人们晚间或周末去什么地方能上英语课？我有个朋右要来匹滋堡参加三个月的职业会义。他想再接受一些英语陪训来提高他的英语。他怎么能得到有关信息？
A: Pittsburgh offers a wealth of ESL resources to international students and visitors—in part because the University of Pittsburgh has a program that trains ESL instructors, and many of them stay in Pittsburgh after they graduate. These resources include daytime classes, evening classes, and individual tutoring. The cost of these varies ranges from college tuition (expensive) to free. The website for Carnegie Mellon University’s Intercultural Communication Center--http://www.cmu.edu/icc/family/index.shtml--contains a list of the resources available. We hope that your friend enjoys his stay in Pittsburgh!
匹滋堡给国际学生和游客提供很多有关学英语作为第二语言的服务。因为匹滋堡大学有陪训学英语作为第二语言的老师，很多老师毕业后就呆在匹滋堡了。这些服务包括日间，晚间和私人辅导课，学费从免费到很贵的大学学费。Carnegie Mellon 大学智能信息中心的网站：http://www.cmu.edu/icc/family/index.shtml--提供一个服务系例表。我们希望你的朋右会喜欢匹滋堡。
