Some of the students in Speaking/Listening class have been assigned to make a presentation in front of the class on Monday this week. The instructor recorded everybody's presentation and will give comments later. Everyone seemed to do this well except me. The following script is something I shared in the class.
Hi, everyone. Today I wanna share the experience of my tour in the eastern coast. Last summer, I made a trip from New York to Philadaphia to Washington. I planned to call on a friend of mine in Baltimore. He is studying bioengineering in Johns Hopkins University. It was a lovely morning as I was moveing off Philadaphia and heading to Baltimore by coach. After two and half an hours riding, the coach driver drop me off at a plaza. Suddenly I found that there is nothing but a large parking lot. There are two highways surrounding and a building nearby. It looks like a hotel, but I am not so sure. Then I took my luggage and headed to the building. And then I was getting around near the building. About five minutes later, a cab came, and the driver asked me where do you wanna go? I said I wanna go to Johns Hopkins University. At that moment, a woman came and said she wanna go to the airport. And then the driver told me "sorry, I'm gonna take this woman to the airport". And then the cab was gone. At that monet, I felt helpless and I wonder if there is another cab coming to rescue me. Fortunately, a cab came, and unfortunately the driver is an indian. He put on a turban. And the driver asked me something but I didn't really understand what he said. But I guess that he asked me "where do you wanna go?" I said I wanna go to Johns Hopkins University. And then I entered the cab and was happy to leave this hell place. The driver keep asking me something but I don't know what he is getting at. Gradualy, I realize that there are two places called Johns Hopkins University. One is Johns Hopkins University, the other is the campus of Johns Hopkins University. And then I told him the campus of Johns Hokins University. On my way to Johns Hopkins University, the driver keep gossping something I don't understand. That's the whole story I wanna share.
