IV. Read the passage. Then decide if the statements are true (T) or false(F) (1.0pt)
It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules. If you want to pass examinations, then
study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, try to learn English without studying too
much grammar because that will only slow you down and confuse you. You will think about the rules when
creating sentences instead of speaking naturally like a native speaker. Some native speakers do not know so
many grammar rules as non-native students do.
Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain power. This could
be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You may notice that there are also some people
who study abroad and learn very little. That is because they go to an English speaking school, but find friends
from their own country and don’t practice English. Some others can speak English well because they live in an
English speaking environment.
Therefore, why don’t you surround yourself with English? Make rules with some friends that you will only
speak English when meeting up for a coffee, for example. You can also carry around an iPod and listen to
English as much as possible.
