10002---背诵为王-02-01-Learning English in a New Environment

   I was a little shy about talking to people when I first arrived in America, but I had a strong desire to broaden my horizons and meet new people.
Once I gathered the  courage to start conversations with people, I found how easy it was to make new friends.Everyday,I heard enough new English expressions to make my head spin.I found that when I was

 honest and asked about  the meanings of unfamiliar expressions, Americans were very helpful and took

 pains to explain them to me. Native speakers of English tend to speak very fast, and at first I was just stunned and looked at them with a dazed expression on my face. I solved that problem by 

asking people to speak more slowly.
