The great thing about computers is that they can do a lot of things much faster than a human. Say you’re looking for a specific word on a web page. Instead of scanning it yourself, all you need to do is press Ctrl+F and type the word you’re looking for. There are mountains of shortcut like this, from pressing Ctrl+S to instantly save the file you’re working on, Ctrl+P to print it out, or Ctrl+T to open a new tab in your web browser. It may seem like more trouble than its worth at first, but after you use a shortcut one or two times, you’ll wonder why you ever did anything with the mouse. Check out our list of six shortcuts everyone should know, as well as our shortcut of the day series for even more tricks.

Immigrants’ Day Letters
We (SALC) are funded (given money) by the Massachusetts Legislature to offer free English classes, computer classes, college and career advising, and help to access any other services that students need.
Every year we ask you to write to the legislators to thank them for their support for SALC ; but, more importantly, to tell them your personal stories : Who are you ? Why are you here ? What are your needs, your hopes, and your plans ?
Each of you has a different story to tell, and the legislators need to hear your story in order to understand you as individuals, your lives, and your needs.
Please write your personal « story » : What would you like to communicate to your Massachusetts legislator and us (SALC) about your life ?
1. Why did you come to the U.S. (What was your life like before ? Why did you leave ? What did you hope for in coming to the U.S. ?)
2. What brought you to SALC ? How did you know about us ? What have you found here that has helped you ?
3. What help do you still need from Massachusetts and SALC ? What are the important problems in your life ?
4. What are your hopes and plans for the future ? What do you hope to be able to do for yourself and your family ? What can we do to help ?
5. Anything else you think the Massachusetts legislature/SALC should know about you.
Thank you for sharing your personal story with us.
