Patrick arrived in America a week ago.At first he thought his English learned in the middle school was good enough.He was sure he could deal with any situation.He thought he would call a taxi on his arrival and talk with the driver to ask about the American ways.But very different from his idea,he found he could hardly understand the driver,nor did the driver understand him.It seemed to him that his efforts in those years learning English had gone to waste.
Reading his mind,the driver said,“Well,don’t get worried!Never lose heart.In a few months,you’ll be able to speak English as well as I do.”
Yes,Patrick thought.He would put in more practice.He would consider himself as a complete beginner in American English.
