A Long Way
Last semester, I worked in a restaurant at my spare time. At the beginning, it was extremely hard for me to learn the roles and remember the recipes. I had to stand there and smile. At the end of the day, I was so tired that I almost could do nothing.
After a few days of working, the head waiter told me that I could take charge as a chief. I knew if I worked hard, I would take charge of a room. It meant I can get more tip. I was glad to do that.
As new, it was not an easy thing to serve all customers well. Sometimes, I dished up wrongly. Or I forgot the customer's requirements. What is worse, I overturned the plates twice. However, I could not be defeated because of these difficulties.
One day, I was about to be off duty when three foreigners came here. Because other colleagues could not speak English well, I had to stay to serve them. It was my first time to talk with a foreigner. However, suddenly, my mind was blank even though I had memorized 3000 words. How can I talk to them? I began to speak slowly, but think fast.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you? " I said it word by word. At the same time, I showed them the menu.
"NO, we order ··· with some rice. " They said so quickly that I seldom couldn't know what they wanted.
"Pardon? " I asked with embarrassment.
"Oh, we want tomatoes and eggs. Look at this, 'xi hong shi chao ji dan', " He showed me a note with some Chinese characters.
I tried my best to calm down. His pronunciation was different, which is not similar to my past study. So the communication seemed to be a little difficult. It made my colleagues laugh.
"I got it. What else? " I tried my best to keep calm as I could. I had no reason to laugh at them because of my bad English.
"Water, please. " Then, a pot of tea was on the table.
The more terrible thing was that the rice was sold out. How can I explain this to them?

追答
They talked to me; I stumbled to respond to questions. How long the way was. I complained that why I couldn't remember any words. However, I began to talk to them and adapted to this atmosphere gradually. I restarted to pick up my confidence again. They praised me for my self-confidence. Oh, I just said it word by word. Even I did not know how I could talk with them for such a long time. I swore I must learn English well, especially spoken English. Never make it happen again.
It is memorable. Each for it was the first time makes a dent in my heart. Gaining self -confidence means half success. I believe myself and won't lose confidence any more.
