these two men are speaking to each other and they're both speaking english,
but this man doesn't understand.

so let's read the article and then we'll answer the question.
why does the writer not understand the porter?
then he spoke slowly.
the article says.
I arrived in London at last.
the railway station was big,
black and dark.
railway railway is another way,
we can say train.
i did not know the way to my hotel,
so I asked a porter.
a porter,
this is the porter.
he.
is a porter,
is a person who helps people with their baggage.
at the railway station.
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.
several.
several means.
more than one but not many.
he answered me,
but he spoke neither slowly NOR clearly. I am a foreigner,
I said foreigner.
a foreigner is someone who is born in a different country than the country.
there in or visiting.
then he spoke slowly.
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.
you'll soon learn english,
he said.
I wonder.
wonder means to be curious,
to know something more.
in england,
each person speaks a different language. the english understand each other,
but i don't understand them.
do they speak english?
let's read the article again. I arrived in London at last the railway station,
the train station was big black and dark.
i did not know the way to my hotel,
so I asked a porter the person who helps people with their baggage. 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 more than one time.
and at last he understood.
he answered me,
but he spoke neither slowly NOR clearly.
I am a foreigner,
someone who was born in a different country than the country I'm in.
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. you'll soon learn english,
he said.
I wonder I was curious to know.
something more.
in england,
each person speaks a different language. the english understood each other,
but i don't understand them.
do they speak english?
why does the porter not understand excuse me? why does the writer not understand the porter?
because in england,
each person speaks a different language.
now let's answer some questions about the article we've just read.
number one.
did you arrive at a railway station in London or not? did you ask a porter the way to your hotel or not?
could he understand you or not?
I arrived at a railway station.
and.
I asked a porter the way to my hotel,
but he could not understand me.
number two.
did he understand you at last or not? could you understand his answer?
he understood me at last,
but i could not understand his answer.
number three.
did your teacher ever speak english like that or not my english teacher never spoke english like that number four?
what did the porter say to you,
the porter said?

does each person speak a different language in england or not?
each person speaks a different language in england.
do they understand each other or not? do you understand them?
they understand each other,
but i do not understand them.
now let's learn about letter writing.
when we write a letter,
we address.
the address of the person were sending the letter to.
excuse me,
the address appears at the top right hand corner of the page that's called the heading.
and the address is always followed by the date.
so in the top right hand corner of the page,
we write the address here.
and the address is always followed by the date,
so after the address we write the date.
so what I want you to do is practice writing your home address and remember to follow the pattern above.
write the address,
write your address in the top right hand corner and follow it by the date.
now joining simple statements together to make compound statements.
we can join simple statements together by using such words as and but so yet.

and we can use either or neither NOR not only.
and as well or also.

he went into the garden.
joining them together to make a compound statement says he finished lunch and went into the garden.
