One summer night, on my way home from
work, I decided to see a movie because I knew the theatre would be
air-conditioned and I couldn’t face my 51 apartment.
Sitting in the theater I had to look
through the space between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep
changing the angle (角度) 52 the woman leaned(倾斜)over to talk to the man 53 the man leaned
over to kiss the woman. Why do Americans express such feelings in a 54
place?
I thought the movie would be good for
my English, but it turned out, it was a(n) 55 movie. After
about an hour I decided to give up the movie and 56 my
popcorn(爆米花). I’ve never understood why they give me so much popcorn! It tasted
pretty good, 57 .
After a while I heard 58 more of the
romantic-sounding Italians. I could only hear the 59 of the
popcorn crunching (嘎扎的响声) between my teeth. My thought started to wander(走神). I remembered when I still lived in 60 , I used
to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean-I was really amazed.
He seemed like a good friend to me 61 I saw him again
years later in New York. He spoke 62 English instead
of perfect Korean. He didn’t even have a Korean accent(口音)when he spoke English and I 63 I had
been cheated(被骗了).
When our family moved to the United States from the South Korea six years ago, none of us spoke any English. After we had learned a few words,
it was still a hard language for us. So my mother suggested that we all should speak
English at home. Everyone agreed, but from that day on, our house became very 64
and we all seemed to avoid(避免) talking to each other. We sat at the
dinner table in silence, and avoid speaking the 65 language.
Mother tried to say something in English, but it came out all wrong and we all
burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We have been speaking Korean at
home ever since.
