76【MinMin】Train Stop

The other day I was on a train, and there were three foreign girls sitting next to me chatting in English. I wasn’t eavesdropping, but as an English learner, I couldn’t help but pay attention to them. And then the moment came… the train stopped suddenly. Train stops are common in Japan, and it’s usually due to a very minor problem. No one was confused except for the three girls. Unfortunately, the announcements were only in Japanese, and when the train lost power, they seemed worried and wanted to know what had happened. Obviously they stood out on the train. They were using an app to find out what the announcements were saying, but that didn’t seem to work at all. I wanted to explain the situation to them and tell them not to worry, but while I was hesitating, the train started moving again. However, it soon stopped again and lost power again. I told myself. “if I don’t use English now, when should I use it?” I kind of whispered to them, “Sorry, did you get the announcement? “ All three girls turned to me at once, and they looked like they really needed help, so I briefly explained that it was just a small problem, and the train will be running again in no time. The girls said “Oh, thanks, perfect!”, and they looked relieved. I pretended that I was used to speaking English with foreigners, but actually my heart was pounding and I was very happy. I don’t think my English was grammatically perfect but it didn’t matter. I felt the eyes of the others on me… And I have to be honest with you, I felt pretty damn cool! —————————————————————— 🗣Do you study English? Join our club! And why not read your monologue.
