since i was in primary school, my parents hired a tutor to teach me english, because they knew the importance of the international language. though i have learned english for many years, i n*r had the chance to talk to the local people. the chance came as i went to high school. the school had a * to promote the communication between countries, so there were some foreign students studied here for a year. i was lucky to become a foreign student's partner. my job was to assist her in solving the daily problems. we talked in english. at first, i was so nervous and spoke very slowly, then my partner encouraged me and she wouldn't correct me. as we communicate *, she taught me some local language, which made me sounded like a local person. this experience is such valuable for me.
在我在小学的时候，我的父母就请了一位家庭教师来教我英语，因为他们知道国际语言的重要性。虽然我学习英语已经很多年了，但是我从来没有机会和当地人交谈。我上高中时，这样的机会就来了。学校有一个项目，为了促进国与国之间的交流，所以有一些外国学生在这里学习一年。我很幸运成为外国学生的搭档，我的工作是协助她解决日常问题。我们用英语交谈。起初，我很紧张，说的很慢，她就鼓励我，她也不会纠正我。随着我们深入的交流，她教了我一些当地的语言，这让我听起来像本地人。这对我来说是很有价值的经历。
