新概念英语2,Do the English speak English?
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.
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 spoken neither 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 will soon learn English!' he said.
I wonder.
In England, each person speaks a different language.
The English understand each other, but I don't understand them!
Do they speak English?
