At the congress
A week, a thousand strangers, one language. The sentences you will hear on the first day.
Why these go together
The is a week each summer when a thousand or more speakers from dozens of countries take over one city. Everyone starts with the same questions, and a (a fellow speaker, literally 'same--) will ask you all of them before lunch. ? uses the present tense for something still going on, where English needs 'have been speaking'.
