Today, when I wrote something in lounge B, a man came in and asked me for help. In fact, I didn’t catch his question, but I got to know it’s something about the TV set in lounge A. So I said what’s wrong with the TV set. Still, I didn’t understand his words, but I catch the word “remote”. Oh, I see. He must have trouble in using the TV set without the remote. Then I said:”I’ll show you.” Then I went to the TV set and show him the button on the bottom of the set. Then change the channels and tune the volume, he said thank you with a smile. I said welcome and really got proud of helping an american in america.
You see, it’s not so hard for you to communicate with foreigners even you don’t catch what they said. Sometimes, a keyword or a guesture can show you the meaning, especially in context of what you talked about. So, be brave to communicate with someone!
