John had come to an English speaking country to improve his English. He has studied the language for five years in his own country and he could understand written English quite well. What he needed above all was practice in conversation. He enrolled at a school for foreign students. And the school found him a home with the local family. The family was pleasant and friendly. He was delighted to discover that there was a pretty daughter, only a year or so younger than he is. That first night as he was getting ready for bed, he was filled with optimism. A few days later, however, when his class teacher, Mr. Price asked him how he was getting along. He had to admit that he felt a little disappointed. "By Sunday", said John, "I'll have been here for two weeks. But I've had very little opportunity to practise conversation." "Aren't you living with a local family?" asked Mr. Price. "Yes, I am." replied John."But they are always busy." "Aren't there any young people in the family?" "Yes, there is a daughter of 17, but she leaves home at eight o'clock in the morning and she spends every evening with her friends."
约翰到一个讲英语的国家来提高他的英文。他在自己的国家学英语学了五年，他可以很好地理解书面英语。他最需要的是在会话中练习英文。他进入了一所外国学生的学校。学校为他在当地家庭找到一个家。那个家庭很好很友善。他很高兴地发现家里有个漂亮的女儿，只比他小一岁。第一天晚上，当他准备睡觉时，他很乐观。然而，几天之后，当他学校的老师，普赖斯先生问他过得怎么样时，他不得不承认他觉得有点失望。“到星期天，”约翰说：“我就到这里两星期了。但是我几乎没有机会进行对话练习。”“你不是和一个本地家庭住在一起吗？”普莱斯先生问。“是的，我是。”约翰回答：“但是他们都很忙。”“家里没有什么年轻人吗？”“是的，有一个17岁的女儿，但是她早上八点钟离开家，每天晚上都和她朋友在一起。”
