"It's nice to be home," sighed Gloria. "But I did have such a nice time at
Ann's. Friday was nice and warm. I wore my nice blue suit and that nice
white blouse I got for my birthday. I had a nice seat in the train, and the
conductor was very nice about warning me before we came to West Lake.
Ann and her mother met me in their nice new BMW."
"Wasn't that nice of them?"
"What comes next is even nicer. We drove to their place, a nice brick
house, and had the nicest supper. After supper Joe and Tommy, two nice
boys, took us to see a very nice movie, and after that we all had nice big
sandwiches at the Sugar Bowl.
"On Saturday we had a nice game of tennis on those nice new high school
courts, and Saturday night we went to a nice barn dance. Ann looked very
nice in her nice light-blue print dress. On Sunday she and her mother
drove me to the train, and I thanked them for the nicest weekend I've ever
had."

SPOKEN ENGLISH AND BROKEN ENGLISH
By G. B. Shaw
If you are learning English because you intend to travel in England
and wish to be understood there, do not try to speak English perfectly
because if you do, no one will understand you.
Though there is no such thing as perfectly correct English, there is
presentable English which we call 'Good English', but in London nine
hundred and ninety nine out of every thousand people not only speak bad
English but speak even that very badly. You may say that even if they do
not speak English well themselves they at least understand it when the
speaker is a foreigner, the better he speaks the harder it is to understand
him. Therefore the first thing you have to do is to speak with a strong
foreign accent, and speak broken English: that is English without any
grammar. Then every English person will at once know that you are a
foreigner, and try to understand and be ready to help you.
