I'm a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look incredibly good when you're in a foreign country. The list below introduces 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language! You can download them for free.
Babbel : Learn Languages
Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step when learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments. The downside is that for full access to everything you need to pay a monthly subscription, but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor!
Duolingo : Learn Languages Free
The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences. It's all completely free too! It is incredibly well designed, looks great and will help you learn, remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day.
Tandem : Language Exchange
Rather than have you work through tasks and memorise different things, the app lets you match with people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text, voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language, and in return you learn theirs, all by simply communicating with each other. It's a great way to learn with only $1 a day.
Busuu : Learn English
This app is perfect if you want to learn English. There are all sorts of audio and visual learning aids. You'll find yourself working through interactive tests and learning tools for vocabulary and dialogue. You can enjoy advanced functions by subscribing to the service.

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house chatting with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) landed on their window edge.
The father asked his son, "What is that "
The son replied, "That is a crow."
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this "
The son said, "Father, I told you just now. It's a crow."
After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, "What is this "
This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, "It's a crow, a crow."
After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, "What is this "
This time the son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again I have told you already, 'IT IS A CROW.' Are you unable to understand this "
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn't feel angry at all, but instead felt affection for my son.
If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will respect and take care of my old parents in the best way no matter how they behave."
24.What is the purpose of the passage
A. To tell us the function of a diary. B. To call on us to love our parents.
C. To teach us what a crow is. D. To introduce a father and son.
25. What does the underlined word "affection" probably mean
A. Puzzlement. B. Hatred. C. Worry. D. Love.
26. We can infer that the father wrote that piece of diary at the age of _____.
A. eighty B. three C. thirty-eight D. forty-five
27. The old man brought out the diary, which he had kept since his son was born, because _____.
A. he forgot what had happened B. he would like his son to read it
C. it could remind himself of the past D. he wanted to find what a crow was
C
Snow leopards(雪豹) are so hard to photograph that scientists aren't even sure how many of these endangered animals still live in the wild.
The Snow Leopard Conservancy (SLC) set up 20 cameras in Russia in 2010 to learn more about the big cats. After a full six months, they had exactly zero picture! That's when the organization understood they needed help. And the only people who could help them in finding the leopards were the very people from whom they wanted to protect the animals—local hunters(猎人).
Hunting snow leopards is against the law in Russia, but in the terrible climate of Siberia, the few people living there had to turn to poaching(盗猎) to feed their families.
In 2013, Russian naturalist Sergei Spitsyn approached Mergen Markov, a local hunter, and told him his project. Markov agreed to set up the camera where he knew he would find leopards, and it worked.
Markov, once a poacher, works full time for the conservationists now and has 10 cameras monitoring leopards. "I visit each camera once a month. I have known this whole region since I was a child," he said proudly.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) began working with other local villagers in 2015. The village would be paid 40,000 rubles at the end of the year if the image of a snow leopard is caught. The WWF also rents horses from the villagers so that they do not need to make money by poaching anymore. "Today there are far fewer leopard poachers but leopards still get caught in traps set for other animals, so I have to stay watchful," said Markov.
Changing guns for cameras has made a big difference in the lives of these former poachers, the village, and the Russian snow leopards. The number of snow leopards has been rising and their population is expected to recover to normal levels within 10 years.
1. Why was no picture of snow leopards taken in six months
A. SLC's 20 cameras failed to work properly.
B. The number of snow leopards in the wild was too small.
C. The local poachers destroyed these cameras on purpose.
D. The researchers knew little about the animal's living habits.
2. What did Sergei Spitsyn persuade Markov to do
A. Find the poachers. B. Repair cameras in the forest.
C. Catch more leopards. D. Work for the SLC.
3. Why did the WWF begin working with local villagers
A. To get some pictures of snow leopards.
B. To help villagers make a living.
C. To prevent villagers from hunting animals.
D. To rent their horses at a low price.
4. How can we describe the WWF's cooperation with the villagers
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Curiosity kills the cat.
C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Old habits die hard.
