2、uld stay at bed and breakfast houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses, they said .“Because we found that
3、most families were away on holiday .” I thought this was strange . Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES meant holidays because Spanish word for holiday is vacaciones they did not go to houses where the sign outside said VACANCIES, which
4、 in English me ant there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this
5、 and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, a word very similar to “DIVERSION” means fun. In English it means that workman is repairing the road, and that you must take a different road when my friends saw the word “DIVERSION on a road sign, they thought they were going t
6、o have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole. English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said Thank you in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! La

11、s feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he
12、did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped
13、 from the highway or off a known path.Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, its still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across
14、 a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the lost situation. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness
15、 may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesnt show up
