I was in a strange (陌生的) town. I didn’t know anyone, and I could not speak a word of the language. On the second day, I got on a bus. After riding for a few stops, I got off and walked on. I felt happy enough in the first three hours, then I decided to walk back to my hotel for lunch. After walking around for half an hour, I thought I should ask the way. The problem was that I only knew the name of the street and I pronounced (发音) it badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper seller. He gave me a paper. I shook my head (摇头) and said the name of the street again. But he gave me another paper. I had to give him some money and went on my way. Then I met a policeman and asked the way. He listened to me carefully. He said something and pointed (指) left and right and left again. I thanked him and began walking in the direction (方向) he pointed.
About an hour later, I found the houses became fewer and fewer. I came to the countryside! The only thing for me to do was to find the nearest train station.
