If you are learning English because you're going to travel in England and wish to be（16）
there，don't try to speak English perfectly，（17）
if you do so，no one will understand you．In London ninety-nine in every hundred people speak（18）
English．You may say that（19）
they don't speak English wel l themselves，they can（20）
understand it when it is well spoken．They（21）
when the speaker is English．But when the speaker is a（22）
the better he speaks，the（23）
it is to understand him．
No foreigner can（24）
stress（重读）the syllables（音节）and make the tone（声调） （25）
and fall in question and（26）
exactly as a（27）
does．（28）
the first thing you have to do is to speak with a strong （29）
accent，and speak broken，that is，English without any（30）
．Then every English person you（31）
will at once know you are a foreigner，and try to understand you and be ready to（32）
you．He will not（33）
you to be polite and use grammatical phrases．He will be（34）
by his cleverness in making out（弄清） your（35）
and being able to tell what you want to know．
