What can students expect? Students will learn a second language in exciting new ways using technology and
focusing on communication or speaking. Learning a language is not just learning grammar and vocabulary. It is
learning new sounds, expressions, and ways of seeing things; it is learning how to function in another culture,
how to know a new community from the inside out.
How much can students learn? Depending on how long students study, they can gain different levels of fluency.
Don't worry; they're not expected to sound like native speakers. To a greater or lesser degree students will,
44
however, be understood, get where they want to go, read magazines or books for information or pleasure, and
meet and talk with a whole new group of people. It's a great experience! Of course, it doesn't happen overnight.

In 2008, when he was 12 years old, Thomas Hircock visited India with his father. One day during
their
trip, they passed some villages in Jharkhand. There, Thomas learned that only around 20% of local
teens went to school. But when he asked villagers what they need to help educate children, they didn't
ask for paper, pens or books. What they really needed were bicycles. As Thomas learned, many
children have to walk up to 20 miles to get to school. And because the area has many dangerous
animals like snakes and leopards, these journeys are very dangerous.
When he returned to the USA, Thomas set up a charity called Access to Education to raise money to
buy bicycles for children in India. In fact, the charity has sent around 500 bicycles to school in India.
These bicycles are manufactured in India and are strong enough to ride in forest terrain.

independence. The ao dai, with different designs and materials, was traditionally worn by both men
and women. Over the next several years, despite the popularity of western clothing, which becomes

For many people the language of the Internet is English. “World, Wide, Web: Three English Words” was
the name of an article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few years ago. The article went on to
say: “If you want to take full advantage of the Internet, there is only one real way to do it: learn English.”
In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. But although Internet services are rather easy
to use, you will have considerable difficulties if you are not familiar with English. In fact, a good
knowledge of English is one of the most important aspects that help you use the Internet. Learning to use a
new Internet service may take a few hours, a few days or some weeks, but it takes years to learn a
language so that you can use it fluently and confidently. Of course, when you know some English, you can
learn more just by using it on the Internet. But at least your English should be good enough to understand
commonly used words and to know what to do on the Internet.
1. It is not easy to learn to use Internet services.
2. We should learn English to take full advantage of the Internet.
3. Learning to use a language fluently may take a few weeks.
4. If we do not know English well, we will have many difficulties when using the Internet.
5. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The benefit of using Internet in English.
B. The benefit of English in using the Internet.
C. The purpose of using the Internet.
D. The purpose of using English and Internet.
6. Should we learn English in order to use the Internet easily?
A. No, we shouldn’t. B. Yes, we should. C. No, it shouldn’t. D. Yes, it should.

both men and women.Over the next several years,despite the popularity of western clothing,which
