It was the first time Moham went to a restaurant in his new neighborhood. He looked up at the menu board, and 1 how he could understand what all of these strange names meant. Moham decided that he would 2 ask the waitress for ice cream in a cup. She smiled brightly, wrote down his 3 and disappeared behind the big glass display case（陈列柜）.
A moment later, she came back with a tall paper cup. 4 it was a long straw（吸管）and some kind of drink. Moham, quite 5, took the cup and thanked her, thinking about the possibility that he had used wrong words.
"It's the soda you ordered, "6 said, "an ice cream drink in a cup."
He smiled at the waitress, pointed at one of the 7 in the display case, and said, "That one, please, "which seemed to 8 better.
Moham took the cake and his unexpected soda to a table and sat down to eat. Why was it that English had been so 9 for him in his classes in Tunisia, but when it came to 10 speaking, he couldn't even get what he wanted to eat？
Just then, a girl, who sat at the next table and had watched the whole 11, smiled at him and said, "Hey, welcome to our beautiful city！Don't feel 12 about your English-you'll get better at it 13 you've lived here for a while. I'm from Spain, and the first time I tried to order a salad here, I 14 with a plate of pig's feet. At least you got a soda！"
Hearing this, Moham felt much better. He wasn't the only one 15 to communicate, and his new city began to feel just a little more like he could call it home.
