What do English speakers learn as a foreign language What are their opinions on learning foreign languages Read on and find out.
Many British people are poor at speaking foreign languages. Last year, I spent my holiday in Spain and Italy, and in both countries I saw British tourists not even trying to say "hello", "please" or "thank you" in the local language, which I think is really rude. I've never lived in a foreign country and I'm not good at learning languages, but I do think it's important to make an effort with them when you're traveling abroad. Martin I hated languages at school, but as an adult I've started learning two foreign languages and found that I really enjoy them. Two years ago I started learning French, just as a hobby, and six months ago I started learning Hindi (印地语) because my husband is from India and next month I'm going over there to meet some of his family members. It's difficult, but really interesting. Liz
I'm fourteen years old and I go to school in Manchester in the north of England. I study two foreign languages, Spanish and French. They're not my favorite subjects, but sometimes they can be quite interesting. But I don't like all the grammar - I can't get my head round all those rules. When I went to Spain on holiday last month, I was able to ask for drinks in a restaurant and also understood a little bit of Spanish TV --I was quite proud of myself. Paul I teach French and Spanish at a school in London, so I can speak both languages well. I like my job, although sometimes it can be a bit frustrating . It would be good if the students cared more about foreign languages. Many of them think it unnecessary to learn a foreign language since almost everyone can speak English. Louise

A.To get a job in India.
B.To finish college.
C.To communicate with her husband's family.
2.Which part of foreign languages does Paul find difficult

A.Martin hates to speak the local language while travelling.

I have a neighbor we call "Happy". I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben's beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an "all-day food festival". We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn't know what was about to take place.
By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o'clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!
Well, the point wasn't so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another's company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben's garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!
6.According to paragraph 2, people wished they also had a garden so that ______.
A.they could grow vegetables and sell at the market
B.they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in it
C.they didn't have to spend so much money on food
7.Which of the following is the same as the underlined word "bounty"
A.Present. B.Kindness. C.Happiness.
8.For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbors to their garden
A.To ask them to attend a birthday party
B.To help them to sell vegetables.
C.To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden.
9.What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the garden
A.He thought it was too short but enjoyable.
B.He thought it was wonderful.
C.He thought it was not as good as he thought.
10.We can infer that _______.
A.Happy and her husband Ben sometimes quarrel with each other
B.Happy and her husband Ben are a generous and warm-hearted couple
C.Happy and her husband Ben live on the food they grow in their garden
