課文內(nèi)容:
I arrived in London at last. The railway stationwas big, black and dark. I did not know the wayto my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spokeEnglish very carefully, but very clearly as well. Theporter, however, could not understand me. Irepeated my question several times and at last heunderstood. he answered me, but he spoke neitherslowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then hespoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! Theporter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it.'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a differentlanguage. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speakEnglish?
