One morning, I was on the underground going to work. A voice came from the speaker (喇叭). It said, "This 1 is Shady Grove Park." I heard a little voice 2 it and then I looked back. That was a young girl and she said it again, "This stop is..." 3 and slowly, and with a little roll of her hand, she said it over and over again. It was like she was 4 a little child.
I looked around and then I understood she wasn't teaching a child. She was teaching her 5! I listened and heard the mother 6 someone in English. She said that she was Japanese and that she was learning 7 from her daughter. The mother could say some English now, but she 8 had a long way to go. Being Japanese, she said that she found it not easy for her to 9 "th" and "t" clearly. Luckily, her daughter was very patient. When she 10 got them right, her daughter smiled and gave her a high 11.
At the next stop, the mother said the name of the stop with 12 pronunciation, "This stop is the Railroad Station."
It was a lovely start to 13 day. All day, I thought of that girl and her mother and felt 14. With a(n) 15, the girl taught her mum English very patiently all the way. Most special, moreover, was the mother's willingness to learn from her daughter.
