How to talk to a foreigner? Students often want to practice their English outside class.One of the best ways to practice your English is to speak to a foreigner.This week's question comes from a student who is eager to start a conversation with the foreigners he sees every day.He asks, “Is it okay to talk to foreigners I see in the street? The answer is yes and no, but probably no.If you see a foreigner who looks lost,it is polite to ask him。”May I help you? But,otherwise(除此之外),you should probably let him get on with his business.Situations,however, do exist where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners.If a foreigner enters year school,classroom,office,shop or restaurant,for instance,feel free to ask them (for example):
--May I know your name,please?
--Where do you come from?
--What do you think of Beijing?
--How long will you stay in Beijing?
There are also situations where it's okay to talk to foreigners in public places.If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant,bar or care, it may be appropriate(恰当的)to ask him or her:
--Is this seat free?
--Do you mind if I talk to you in English?
--You pan probably help them if they are new to China and if they are alone,you may be able to make them feel more welcome.After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not.If they ask you similar questions, or if they give long, informative(提供有用信息的)answers, you're in luck.If not,then give them their privacy(独处).Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place.

Stephen used to work in a company. Unfortunately (不幸地), he got serious heart disease(疾病). He couldn't work for a long time. Thinking he could still do something for others, he decided to be a volunteer at a Children's Hospital. Stephen loved children very much. With his love, he did his job well. Sometimes he lost his children. They died. At that time, he would tell these sad parents that he would soon be with their children in heaven (天堂) and he would take care of them. His words seemed to help those parents.
There was a girl who could not walk because of a disease. She couldn't do anything and she was very sad. What was worse, the doctors said that they could do little for her. Stephen decided to try to help her. He started visiting her, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He put the brush in his mouth and began to draw. He didn't use his hands at all. Only his head would move. He always told her that she could do anything she wanted.
At last she began to draw with her mouth. She and Stephen became friends. By and by, the little girl was getting better and better. She was allowed to leave the hospital. One day. to Stephen's great surprise, she walked to see him on her own feet! She gave him a picture she had drawn. At the top, it read: “Thank you for helping me walk. It's all because of your love.”
Love can sometimes be more powerful than doctors and medicines. Love makes our world more beautiful and colorful.
Stephen died a few days after the girl gave him the picture.
