[00:32.04]I did not know the way to my hotel,so I asked a porter.
[00:38.18]I not only spoke English very carefully,but very clearly as well.
[00:46.09]The porter,however, could not understand me.
[00:50.82]I repeated my question several times and at last he understood.
[00:58.80]He answered me,but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly.

[01:31.22]'You'll soon learn English!'he said.I wonder.
