（2024·安徽芜湖·一模）In many ways, my interest in language learning began with my grandmother. She moved from Switzerland to England when she was young and I was always amazed that she spoke English to me, Italian to my grandfather and French or German on the phone to her relatives and friends. I always imagined she could be a translator of books, she didn’t learn English at school, but picked it up by herself when she came to England.
It’s hard for me to understand how someone can speak several languages so well. I can just speak a bit of Italian and German by listening to her. And I hardly use other languages in my own job. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to learn other languages. In my eyes, being able to ask for a meal in a restaurant on holiday in a non-English speaking country would be great. Most important of all, it would be nice to talk with people from around the world.
In fact, language learning is easier now than ever because of new technology. For example, recording your voice helps you see how well you’re doing and helps you continue to improve. There are apps to help you learn new words. However, I still think going to class improves conversation skills and helps you quickly deal with mistakes. So, it’s better to combine different methods.
7．How many languages can the writer speak （不超过5个词）
8．Why does the writer want to learn more languages （不超过10个词）
9．What does the writer think of new technology （不超过15个词）

Sammie Vance, 14, knows there’s nothing worse than feeling left out. For years, she’s been helping kids who
feel lonely make friends by running Buddy Bench (友谊长凳) Program. The idea is that anyone at school who is feeling lonely can sit on the “buddy bench”. That lets other kids know someone needs a friend.

To reduce costs and be environment-friendly, Sammie decided to make the bench out of recycled material. So she asked her community to collect bottle caps.

Before long, Sammie was helping other schools get benches. She has given away more than 200 benches to schools and parks all around her country, and in Mexico and Australia. Her work continues to spread kindness far and wide.
