V. Reading comprehension (1,5m)

Have you ever noticed advertisements which says “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money
back. From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on? Of course, it never
happens quite like that. One’s mother language is easier to learn, but it also requires a lot of practice to be
fluent. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War, people usually learned a
foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start
learning one. How they do it? Some people try it at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio
or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the
language only 2 or 3 times a week, it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A
few people try to learn the language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn
the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is
not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors
chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learned
quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students’
work for him.
A. Choose true or false:
17. According to the advertisements, you needn’t pay your money if you can’t learn a foreign language in 6
weeks.
18. Learning a foreign language is easier than learning one’s mother language.
19. The best way to learn a foreign language is to go to the country where the language is spoken.

21. What does the word” It” in line 7 mean?
