Language learners

Richard Susanna Alex

Richard is from the UK and
speaks more than sixteen
languages! He has also studied
more than forty languages.
Richard studies languages every
day, from one to eight hours a
day. He says that if you want to
learn a language, you have to
study it every day. You should
also visit the country whose
language you are studying as
this will help you speak and
understand it better.
Richard wishes that he had
more time to learn more
languages.
Susanna was born in Russia but
moved to the United States
when she was three years old.
She has travelled to over fifty
countries, and speaks ten
languages.
Susanna says that language is
like music to her. She listens to
foreign languages as though they
were songs, and that is how she
remembers words and phrases.
She thinks people need to watch
TV and movies and listen to
music in the language they are
learning to learn quickly and
well.
Alex, a British student, speaks
eleven different languages. He
says that, to learn a language
well, you have to find a method
that works for you. His method
is to travel and live in the
country whose language he
wants to learn.
Alex says that languages open
your mind to worlds you never
knew were there. They help you
meet amazing people in
different countries, and learn
more about yourself.
If you want to learn more
languages, you should travel
more, says Alex.

Part 3
Questions 14-18. For each question, choose the correct answer.
Getting to sleep

Sleep is very important - in fact, it's just as important for your body as eating and exercising. If you don't get

enough sleep, then you won't be able to enjoy yourself. Playing with friends, going swimming or even watching

videos will not be much fun if you're tired.

People of all ages need sleep, but different people need different amounts. Babies sleep about twice as long as

they stay awake. Teenagers need about eight or ten hours a night and older people need less – six or seven

hours. But one person may need more than another even if they are both the same age,

Six out of ten children say they are tired during the day, which means they are not getting enough sleep. So how

can you get to sleep? A good idea is to write down what you are thinking about before you go to bed.Then, make

sure your bedroom is as dark as possible and it isn't too hot or too cold. You can also try counting from 1 to 100

with your eyes closed. Don't drink cola before going to bed and don't do any sport in the evening. Reading an

exciting book or watching an adventure film isn't a good idea either!

14. Sleeping is A not as important as eating and doing exercise.

B more important than eating doing exercise.
C equally important as eating and exercising.
15. Which sentence is true? A Babies sleep more than older people.
B Teenagers sleep less than older people.
C Older people sleep more than any other group.
16. A sign that you are not getting enough sleep A feel tired during the day.
is if you
B write down what you are thinking about.
C have a child.
17. Having a dark bedroom means A your room will be cold.
B you will sleep better.
C you will be too hot.
18. To have a good night’s sleep, you should A drink soft drinks before going to bed.
B do exercise to make you tired.
C not do anything exciting before going to bed.
