4. So at the end of that first week, I had gone out to the convenience store to get something. And when I was walking back, I noticed my speaking class was at a restaurant next to the convenience store.
5. So I saw them. They saw me. They were waving at me, so I went in to say hello.
6. Now, these are University students so the table was just covered in these green soju bottles. And soju is … just the … probably the most popular alcoholic drink in Korea.
7. I sat down and we started talking and you know they were a little more chatty. I think most of them had a little bit to drink.
8. But the one person that really stood out was the girl to my left whose English name was Ellen. So Ellen was very shy and reserved. She really didn't speak that much in class. She only spoke when spoken to.
9. So that night I learned something. I learned that Ellen was by far the most competent speaker in the class. She just kept talking. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. In fact, she wouldn't stop talking.
10. She was asking me about travel, what I thought about Korea and even the other students were asking her questions about how to say things in English.
11. But the thing is that night Ellen was pumped up on the liquid courage of soju. That it had lowered her inhibitions. She did not care about making mistakes. She just wanted to speak.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
