Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “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 that country.
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of
people start learning one. How do 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 student’s work for him.
