走路去学校
基本都是走路去学校，半个小时，正好锻炼了。几乎都是一个人走，边走边听英语，这是我每天坚持学英语的时间，所以即使有校车，也宁愿走路。
今天早上像往常一样走路，出了家门拐了个弯，看到两个美国学生正过马路，然后就在我后面走了。离的很近，我想让他们走前面吧，可是他们也不着急，我走前面呢又走不快，感觉有些尴尬。心里想他们可能走到下一个校车站的地方就在那儿坐车了，于是无视他们继续走路。
下个车站在路口，过了之后拐弯，结果发现他们还在我后面走。唉，尴尬。。。
终于其中一个美国人快走了两步跟我打个招呼，解释说：明显我们都是走着去学校，这样一前一后不说话有些尴尬，所以就上前介绍认识。感谢他们上前打招呼，免了剩下的一路怪异。
边走边聊，其中一个人还比较爱说话，另外一个很腼腆，基本没说两句话。其实很多美国人挺腼腆的，尤其面对外国人，你不主动开口，他们也不会。
哈哈，在美国待了近两年之后，终于可以听到人说我英语好，欣慰自己的努力结出果实。可是，谁听见美国人夸美国人英语好了？所以我的英语离Native English Speaker还差的远，还需要继续努力！
P.S. 后来发现其中一个人竟然和我上同一个课，怪不得我总觉得在哪儿见过。
