Well, it is a bit embarrassing to tell you the truth that although I have leamed English for half

my life, until now, I still don't have many chances to talk to native speakers. The first time I
attempted to talk to foreigners was about 2 years ago when I was a freshman whose English
level was so low.
At that time I had just finished my final test at university I had lots of time on my hands so I
decided to unwind a bit by going to the movies and catching up on the latest movie
Everything was okay until I got inside the theater and realized that someone had taken my
reserved seat. They were a young American couple. Because it was too dark inside so I
guessed they just mistook mine for theirs, so of course I needed to talk with them about that.
Well, it wouldn't have been a big problem if my speaking skill was a bit better. Honestly, at
that moment I nearly froze and couldn't get any words out of my mouth, Of course my
English was not that bad, I think I cần exchange a few words but I didn't know why I still
struggled to start speaking Perhaps I had overestimated my ability, or just my confidence.
The film almost started and I was forced to say or I would not have my seat. I showed my
ticket to them and recalled all of by limited vocabulary range just to convey the meaning that
They were taking my seat. I even used my body language since through their facial
expression, I thought they didn't actually catch it. Fortunately, the Americans were so patient
to try to hear what I was saying. At last, I did manage to get myself understood. They
instantly stood up and kept saying sorry to me. Of course I didn't get angry but the thing that
really bothered me at that time was the idea that I had to sign up for an English course
immediately. Well, I still enjoyed the film. After that, I met the couple again outside the
theater, they gave me a bottle of soft drink as their apology and told me something I guessed
was about the film. One more embarrassing moment, I wish I could understand it.

1. If I had to choose one, I would say I'm a big picture person. When working with a
group, it's important to me to exploit their potential . Often, this means stepping back
to make sure that the whole team is happy and communicating effectively."

It's hard for me to take into account that both effects of a stroke can cause discomfort and
affect a person's life. If I had to choose, I think I would be sadder if I lost the ability to talk.
The Left Hemisphere’s Struggle: She contrasts this with her left hemisphere’s panic and
urgency to seek help. She couldn’t speak or understand language, struggled with basic tasks,
and found herself trapped in a chaotic and painful experience. Losing memory of the past is
also a sad loss, but I believe that new memories can be created and life can continue.
