Anyone wanting to get to the top of international business, medicine or academia(but possibly not sport)needs to be able to speak English to a pretty high level .Equally, any native English speaker wanting to deal with these new high achievers needs to know how to talk without confusing them.

　　Because so many English-speakers today are monoglots（只懂一种语言的人），they have little idea how difficult it is to master another language. Many think the best way to make foreigners understand is to be chatty（健谈的）and informal. This may seem friendly but，as it probably involves using informal expressions, it makes comprehension harder.

　　Speaking slowly helps, but avoiding figurative（比喻的）or idiomatic expressions is more important. Phrasal verbs are another trouble for non-native English speakers; imagine trying to understand the difference between“ I couldn’t put up with him”and “ I agreed to put him up”.It’s better to say “I couldn’t tolerate him”and “ I agreed to let him stay for night ”. The words may be longer but the meaning is easier to understand.

　　The greatest friend to anyone trying to understand another language is repetition; not saying the same thing over and over again，but saying it in different ways.

　　64. English speakers from non-English-speaking countries think that ________.

　　A. non-native speakers speak English even better
