English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two
languages when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As
for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is
very necessary and useful. Travelling to the country where the target language is spoken
is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well enough you will certainly have
troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, listen to the radio in the
language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I
personally think newspapers and magazines are better. However, getting some knowledge
of the language is the most important thing. Grammar and vocabulary should be mastered
first.

VIII. Part 3. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The last two decades have seen enormous changes in the way people's lives are
affected by IT. Twenty years ago, few people had access to a computer whilst today most
people use them at work, home or school and use of e-mail and the Internet is an everyday
event.
These developments have brought many benefits to our lives. E-mail makes
communication much easier and more immediate. This has numerous benefits for business,
commerce, and education. The World Wide Web means that information on every
conceivable subject is now available to us. Clearly, .for many people this has made life much
easier and more convenient.
However, not all the effects of the new technology have been beneficial. Many people
feel that the widespread use of e-mail is destroying traditional forms of communication such
as letter writing, telephone and face-to-face conversation. In addition, the huge size of the
Web means it is almost impossible to control and regulate. This has led to many concerns
regarding children accessing unsuitable websites. In conclusion, developments in IT have
brought many benefits, yet I believe developments relating to new technology in the future
are likely to produce many negative effects that will need to be addressed very carefully.
