人教版英语精品资料（精修版） UNIT 1 How do you study for a test？趣味阅读Do the English speak English? 英国人讲的是英语吗？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. “Youll soon learn English!” he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I dont understand them!
