练习材料：

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 spoke 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'll 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?

练习感悟：

昨天预习时没注意到原声时长，难怪今天读的时候时间变长了。不过，这好像并没有影响到我去练复述，虽然语句依然是那么僵硬。但总比以前没做复述的好。以前会有点怕自己连较长时间的朗读都做不完，看了是我不太相信自己。总之，至少开始去做，总会有下一步的对策。
