To some students, it seems that only foreign language to learn is English. There are, however, nearly 7,000 languages in the world. After Chinese, the language with the most native language speakers isn't English--it's Spanish! Learning English is very useful, but it is wise to learn at least one other foreign language, if possible.
There are many reasons why people learn a foreign language. Many students choose to study one of the languages that are spoken at the UN, as they think it means better job chances in the future. The UN has six official languages: Arabic,Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.
Listening text
They are spoken by around 2.8 billion people as their native or second languages.
Some students, though, choose to study a language because of family or friends. One American girl chose to learn Danish because her grandparents were from Denmark. When she was little, her grandpa used to read letters to her in Danish from their relatives in Denmark. Another young lady started learning French because she had several friends from African countries where French is spoken.
What do you think Which other language would you choose to study and why

3. Listen to the paragraph read by two different speakers. Which speaker has a British accent and which has an American accent
English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.... We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it pig. And why is it that writers write.... but hammers don't ham (Richard Lederer)
British accent (woman)
American accent (man)
“茄子”里没有egg却偏偏叫做eggplant，
“菠萝”里没有apple却偏偏叫做pineapple； [ pa n pl]
“糖果,果脯， 蜜饯”不是肉偏偏叫做sweetmeat，
“（食用的小牛或养的）胰脏”是肉偏偏叫做sweetbread；
“淡水”不是甜的偏偏叫做sweet water；
“厕所”不是用来休息的，偏偏叫做restroom；
“炸薯条”不是法国发明的，偏叫做French fries；
“气管炎/佝偻病”并非英国特有，偏叫做English disease
