Open your mouth

Since 1996, I have studied English for 13 years. But it is still difficult to communicate with others in English.

Last Tuesday, I went for an interview. The interviewer is a Germany, after said “hello, nice to meet you”, I fell into a silence, and I did not know how to talk to him. Actually, I did prepare an English introduction, but at that time, I forgot everything. So I said: “sorry, I do not prepare an English introduction”.

Own to there is another interviewer on the spot. He is a Chinese. I introduced myself to him in Chinese and he translated what I said to the Germany. During the interview, I noted that the Chinese manager also not very good at in English, sometimes he also do not know how to express some words. But he can use another way to make the Germany understood, and the Germany also can follow him.

I got an inspiration from that. It is not hard to speak English at all. What I need is confidence, and practice and doing some preparation for it.

I also can do it well!
