for the exchange of ideas and information.its meaningless knowing all about a language if you cant use it freely.many students i have met know hundreds of grammar rules，but they cant speak correctly or fluently.they are afraid of making mistakes.one shouldnt be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too.bernard shaw once wrote，“foreigners_often_speak_english_too_correctly.” but the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that chinese students make.theyre english mistakes in the english language.and if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule.what used to be wrong becomes right.people not only make history，they make language.but a people can only make its own language.it cant make another peoples language.so chinese students of english should pay attention to grammar，but they shouldnt overdo(做过头) it.they should put communication first.1according to the passage, language is

area.we talked and i said i had always wanted to teach abroad.she said，“come to our school.”“okay，” i replied，but i wasnt sure if i meant it.we met later for coffee.she answered all of my questions about the school，and gave me the website address and the email address of the person to contact.it took six months for me to finally decide on the job.first of all，in shanghai there are many western places to eat western food and lots of interesting things to do.also，there is a great subway system with directions and stops posted in english.finding your way around is a challenge in a new place.but that isnt hard here.taxis are very cheap；you can always jump in one and get home.there are also a lot of westerners in shanghai，so it is fairly easy to ask for directions.young chinese people are much more likely to speak english and they are wonderfully helpful.i earn almost $1,000 per month and live in a nice rentfree apartment.my biggest expense has been food as i am a vegetarian(素食者)and also on a diet.i still have not got used to the traditional chinese food，but if you like it，youll be in heaven.here i have a good place to live in，new friends，a high salary，and a good job.in the us，getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman.5we can infer that at first the writer _.awasnt interested in teaching abroad at allbwasnt sure whether to accept the
