留美老师带你每日说英文 第515期:接受每个人的不同想法

 　　台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

　　We need to get back to being brave enough to accept that we have different opinions, and thats okay. Because that's what America is built on. The idea that we can stand up, speak our minds and live our lives, and not be punished for that, or mocked on the internet, or killed by someone you don't know.
