Did Naomi say that or did you say that?

Aargh, I don't know why teenagers' writing is so hard to understand. The whole story from head to tail made no sense.

Dude, WHO stopped and said “I’m not Chinese”? You or her?

What does someone being a Chinese national have to do with examples of student work?

How is it a joke to tell your friend that Naomi is a rich Chinese exchange student?

If Naomi is the one who said that she’s Filipino, then why did John say that she’s Chinese-Korean? If you’re the one who is Filipino, did you think that you had to tell Naomi that so she wouldn’t think that you’re Chinese like her?

Naomi told me she was Filipino. I don't know whether to trust John about Naomi being Chinese/Korean.

Ok. What’s her last name (or family name)? It’s pretty easy to figure out someone’s ethnicity from their family name.

Umm, you're editing what they wrote.

>... the next thing I knew Naomi approached me. Paused for 5 seconds...

By omitting (for no reason) the subject before "paused", it leads to confusion because the previous sentence was both about Naomi and "me".
