(Текст для аудирования)
MICHAEL: I'm from France. My name is Michael. I can speak English quite well. I started to learn English 8 years ago when I was only 5. My elder sister taught me some funny English songs and poems. Then, at school I continued my studies.
My sister grew up and married an Englishman. Now they live in London. I often visit them and my nephews. In Britain, I speak English with my relatives and friends. I can speak English fluently. But I have some problems with my grammar.
I learn English because I often visit Britain and I have a lot of friends there. English helps us to overcome our communication problems.
Besides, I like to read British youth magazines.
They are interesting and catchy.
This summer I'm going to study at a Summer School in London.
HANS: Hi! I'm Hans. I'm from Germany. I learn English at school in Berlin. 1 can read English books and newspapers. But I have some problems with listening and speaking English. I'm going to become a pilot. Every pilot should speak English very well. You know, sometimes English is called the language of the sky.
I really enjoy using my computer. It's so interesting. I can chat with people from different countries on the Internet. I can find the necessary information and new ideas on the Internet. To use the computer I have to read and write English quite well because nearly 80 % of all the information in the world's computers is in English.
These are the two main reasons why I'm learning English.
JAN1S: Hi! I'm from sunny Greece. My name is Janis. Thousands of people from different countries come to Greece for holidays. They speak different languages. But most of them can speak English. So, if you want to make new friends you should speak English, too.
I learn English at school and I can speak English quite well. My English friends say so.
I am interested in modern music. Most singers sing their songs in English. Most radio and TV musical programmes are in English. The most famous musical magazines are in English too. If you want to know the latest musical news you should learn English.
That’s why I learn English though I’m lazy and I don’t like to study.
Read the text. Answer the question given in the title.
You know, of course, some people who speak more than one language. We must not think that only great people can learn many foreign languages.
In modern times, when science and technical knowledge are progressing so fast, all kinds of specialists need foreign languages in their work — teachers and doctors, politicians and actors, engineers and businessmen, and people from many other professions.
If a person doesn't know foreign languages, if he or she must wait for translations, he can't hope to know all the news in his field. If he can't use a computer, read the texts in English on the Internet and communicate with his partners by computer, he can hardly hope to be up to date in his work.
Very soon he will be months and even years behind the times.
"But," you will say, "how can I hope to learn so much? I have enough difficulty learning one language."
The answer is that when we have learned one foreign language, learning a second foreign language is much easier. Learning a third foreign language is much easier than learning the second, and so on.
There are many people all over the world who have discovered this secret. They know that success in foreign language learning is connected not only with a person's natural talent. You must work hard to learn your first foreign language. After the first, other languages are a much easier task.
Decide whether the following sentences are true (T) or false (F).
- Great people are the only ones who can learn many foreign languages.
- All kinds of specialists need foreign languages in their work.
- If a person only speaks his mother tongue, he'll know all the news in his field.
- To be up to date in the work a person should read texts in Esperanto on the Internet.
- Learning a third foreign language is easier than learning a first foreign language.
- You must work hard to learn your first foreign language.
