| students.He was a good conversationalist, and | | | | play.The sea was a little calm and quiet and |
| though he was not fluent in English, he | | | | they went a few meters away from the beach |
| managed to express himself excellently.He | | | | and now we couldn't see them as the beech has |
| always asked me after every word whether his | | | | a steep end towards the sea - level from our |
| pronunciation was correct, because the same | | | | sandy beach location.If we wanted to have a |
| word in English and German have different | | | | look at them we would have to standup, for |
| sounds.He told me in the middle of our | | | | they may go further towards the deep-sea |
| conversation that the Germans in the northern | | | | area.They were there in the sea for nearly |
| part of the Germany are very intelligent | | | | half an hour and returned back to the |

| sixties to the teens, with a mixture of men | | | | stars in the dark sky over the Indian Ocean |
| and women.There is a girl in her late teens, | | | | through the wide window-less side - wall of |
| who attracted me a lot as she was directing | | | | the restaurant and then turned my attention |
| her staring eyes to everything in the | | | | towards the happy Germans' fun and fantasy in |
