Last weekend when I was on the street a Foreigner stopped me to ask directions. Even Though I listen to the English radio station quite Often, but when the man spoke I still had trouble Listening to him; he spoke so fast! I was so excited And nervous that I to k a long breath before I could answer. Actually my mouth could not talk fast enough for all the words going through my head. I took my pen and a piece of paper out to draw a rough map for him. After a few short remarks of thanks and courtesies he took my map and left. Everything took place within ten minutes, but I felt this short exchange was the opening of a bright new world to me.

上個周末,當我在街上的時候,一個外國人攔住我問路。雖然我經常聽英語廣播電台,但是當那個人說話的時候,我還是很難聽他說話;他說得太快了!在我能回答之前,我很激動,緊張得屏住呼吸。實際上我的嘴巴不能說得夠快,因為所有的單詞都在我腦海里。我拿了我的鋼筆和一張紙出來給他畫一張粗略的地圖。在感謝和禮貌的幾句話後,他拿走了我的地圖,離開了。一切都發生在十分鐘之內,但我感到這短暫的交換是向我開放一個光明的新世界。
