I always think my spoken English is so poor that I can’t communicate with
native English speakers well. So after going to the college, I take as 36 English lessons as I can. 37 I am free, I go to English corners and 38 English lessons and lectures. To my surprise, I can understand most of 39 of the professors who come from Canada, and the USA. However, I haven’t had more 40 to talk to them in English.
Although I 41 English articles out aloud every day, I am not sure if I can make myself 42 by native English speakers. How I hope I can talk to 43 English speakers for a while. I went to the English 44 as usual last night. Surprisingly, there were three foreigners sitting there. There , however, were several Chinese students around them, too. “I must not 45 this chance,” I said to myself.
“Hi, nice to meet you.” I 46 to one of them.
“Nice to meet you too.” He put out his hand. We 47 hands, what a warm hand! Then I 48 myself to him. When I told him that I had 49 English by myself for three years, he said that it was 50 and my English was so good. His words gave me a lot of 51 . At that time he hadn’t had dinner. He asked us if it was rude or 52 to talk to us while he was eating (a) 53 . We, said we didn’t 54 that, only
if he was 55 to talk to us. He smiled and began to eat his supper.
