Students often want to practice their English outside class. One of the best ways to practice your English is to speak to a foreigner. Most of the students ask, “Is it okay to try to talk to foreigners when we meet them in the street?” The answer is yes and no, but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask him, “May I help you?” But, if not, you should probably let him or her go on with their business. That is, you can talk to a foreigner at some time or places. It is quite OK to ask him or her questions if a foreigner comes into your school, classroom or your teachers’ office. It’s also OK to talk to foreigners in public places. If you see a foreigner and there is no other one with him or her in a restaurant, a waiting room, or a shop, it is the right time for you to ask him or her, “Is this seat free?” or questions like this. You can probably help them if they are new in China. And if they are alone, you may be able to make them feel more welcome. It’s a pleasure to talk to a foreigner if you choose the right time and place.

<p>My parents ran a small restaurant. The restaurant was opened 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And my first job when I was six years old was shining shoes for customers. My duties increased as I grew older. By age of ten I was cleaning tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards and I had to be on time, hard working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made a mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me 10 pounds a week. He said, “OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring in your friends for free drinks?” He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.
