学了多年的英语，依然只会简单会话，英语英语，隔靴搔痒啊，所以我要重拾英语。
今天跟一位来自London的外教说话，外教非常温和，充满好奇心，问我："Do you like history？"
我说："Yes, I like Chinese history and some western countries ' history. "
外教问: "Which country?"
我说: " France."
外教继续问：" Why？"
于是我说：" France is a freedom country with many artists and thinkers. They are outstanding in the world today."
外教接着问：" which people do you like?"
我想了会儿说: " Have you read the book《The Second Gender 》，written by Simone de Beauvoir (西蒙娜·德·波伏娃), who was a great thinker and writer in the 20th century France. (幸好之前查过该作家，我凭汉语发音大概念出了名字。
外教继续问: " About what？"
我要词穷了，是英语词穷，于是结结巴巴地说： " About the Feminism. The author advocates women should walk out of the family and go to work as men. "
聊到此，我已感到词尽了，其实我脑子里有很多内容，就是很难快速组成句子，并有逻辑性地表达出来，这可能是很多中国人学英语的障碍吧。
学英语，不但要掌握英式或美式的表达方式、语气，还要能够把话题聊开，聊深，这就需要多积累了，除了吃喝玩乐的basical内容，最好能给人special的印象或信息，这样聊天才更有意思。
最后，外教问我喜欢什么电影，我说：" The Astronaut 's Wife".
外教又问：" About what？"
我故意压低语调，凑过头去说："This movie is telling the aliens attack the mankind. It is a horror movie."
老外睁大眼睛: "You are a special girl."
Aha. I win.
