Janet spoke slowly, even though she came from the city. She spoke English slowly since it was her second language. She spoke French slowly because it was her third language. But mostly she spoke slowly because she was an interpreter. When she spoke slowly, other people also slowed down when they spoke. This made communication much better. Everyone said what they meant to say when they spoke, and they spoke clearly. Janet was a clever interpreter.
