Lesson25 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?

任务配置：L0+L4

笔记： arrived/ əˈraɪvd/、 last/ lɑːst/、porter/ˈpɔːtə./、 foreigner/ ˈfɒrɪnə/

感悟：foreigner一直都都错了，幸好重新查了音标，真的不能想当然呀，还是得老老实实去查，扎扎实实去积累。
