Giving directions

　Last weekend when I was on the street a foreigner stopped me to ask directions. Even Though I listen to the English radio station quite Often, but when the man spoke I still had trouble listening to him; he spoke so fast! I was so excited And nervous that I to k a long breath before I could answer. Actually my mouth could not talk fast enough for all the words going through my head. I took my pen and a piece of paper out to draw a rough map for him. After a few short remarks of thanks he took my paper and left. Everything took place in ten minutes, but I felt this short exchange was the open of a bright new world to me.
