I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter(搬运工). I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well.The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. He answered me, but he spoke neit
her slowly nor clearly. “I am a foreigner”, I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. “ You’ll soon learn English!” he said. It seems to me that in England each man speaks a different language. The Englishman understand each other, but I don’t understand them! Do they speak English?
