never had a problem Icouldn t solve.As a native English speaker(土生土长的说英语的人),I cango almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicatewith.I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese wouldhave a lot of trouble in my country.Recently,the Li family that I had met in China moved to Canada.Imet them at the airport.My wife and I made meals for them and showedthem around where
