　　It was very late when I arrived in London. The railway station was big and dark. I didn't know the way to my hotel, so I asked a man. I spoke English very slowly, but the man still could not understand me. I said my questions again, and at last he understood. He answered me, but I couldn't understand him.“I'm not English,”I said. Then he spoke slowly. But I still couldn't understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The man and I looked at each other（彼此）and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it.“You'll soon learn English!”he said. I thought, in England, each man doesn't speak the same language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them. Do they speak English?
