Lesson 25
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 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?
