My brother, Tom, is a college student. Last year he went to Italy and stayed there for two months. I was surprised(惊奇的) that Tom stayed there for such a long time, because he had no money. “How did you manage (做到) it, Tom?” I asked. “I thought you were going to stay for two weeks.” “It was easy,” Tom answered. “I got a job.” “A job?” I asked in surprise. “What did you do?” “I gave English lessons to a shop manager,” Tom answered. “His name is Luigi. We have become good friends.” “But you are not a teacher,” I said. “I told Luigi I couldn’t teach, ” Tom explained (解释). “But he insisted (坚持) on having conversation (会话) lessons. He wanted to practise his English. He had a lot of American customers (顾客), so it was important for him to speak English. I spent three hours a day talking to him. In return he gave me a room, three meals a day and a little pocket money.”
“Did your pupil learn much English?” I asked. “I don’t know,” Tom said, “But I learnt a lot of Italian.”
