Oh ! My God Story NO. 101


My private English lessons - part8  

    Happening

In the first and the second year of my life in America,

 I often experience things like this.
I usually have an interpreter when I have an important meeting with Americans.
I always ask Yoshino to interpret for me.
Yoshino is an excellent interpreter.

But she often comes late.
I think she comes late on purpose.
I'm sure that it is true

 because she says she's never late except for me.

So, what do I do when she is late?
I must speak English with Americans by myself.
The longest time that I spoke with Americans by myself

 was about thirty minutes.
It was very hard.

I use all English words that I know

 from my limited vocabulary and manage to have a conversation.

When Yoshino arrives, I will ask her to see
 if Americans have understood what I have said.
Most of the time, they understand what I want to say.

Of course, I never say anything difficult.
Yoshino is a wonderful teacher who takes her student all the way to take a chance to grow.

Oh My God!
