As an English, I can speak three languages—English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners The fact is that they aren't.2·1·c·n·j·y
Some statistics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or pared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.【版权所有：21教育】
And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That's why my people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.21教育名师原创作品
In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don't students continue learning foreign languages at school Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.21cnjy.com
To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.21*cnjy*com
Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!www.21-cn-jy.com

3.People find it difficult to imagine that _______.

4.Many people today are learning ________.
a)Chinese, Spanish or French
b)Chinese, Latin or English
c)Chinese, English or Latin
d)Chinese, Spanish or Arabic
English was once spoken only by people in a part of Britain. But during the twentieth century, it became a world language - a language used by speakers of many different languages to communicate with each other.
Although it is called a “world language”, more than
five billion people - most of the people on the earth - do
not speak English as either their first or second language. However, hundreds of millions of people use it, and hundreds of millions are learning it.
Listen and repeat.
Reading task
Because so many people learn and use English, it may be
hard to imagine that one day English may not be the
world’s leading language. Remember that there were other
important languages in the past which lost their
importance or even disappeared. In Europe, Latin was
used as a common language for many centuries before
people stopped using it. French was once a language
known by all well-educated people, and was more popular
than English. But since the nineteenth century, English has
become more popular than French.
Today, many people who want to learn a new language
are learning Chinese, Spanish or Arabic. It may be that,
one day, instead of English, another language will be used
across the world.

Role play the conversation.
Presenter: Now talk!
Speaker 1: It’s easy to find books, CDs and online courses to
practise English, but I want to talk to a native
English speaker. I went to England and I got lots
of practice talking to people. Then I came home. I
quickly lost my new skills because I didn’t have
anyone to talk to.
Speaker 2: I speak English every week. I use Now talk! It’s a
website that helps you use and remember your
spoken English. This is how Now talk! works.
Speaker 3: We meet on the Internet and have an English
conversation, which lasts for one hour, once a
week, for four weeks. Although it’s not a private
course, we get a lot of speaking practice because
there are only four students for one teacher. We
use Skype. It’s an Internet programme you can
use to talk to anyone in the world.

An invented language
Since the twelfth century, people have been inventing languages, in the hope that a world language would
ease human communication.
Only one of these invented
languages has enjoyed
any success, though.
It is called Esperanto. It was invented by a Polish man named Zamenhof. His language is based on Latin, German and Greek vocabulary. Each letter always makes the same sound, and the grammar rules are simple.
Although Esperanto is spoken by about two million people and a thousand of them have learnt it as a first language, it is unlikely to become a world language.
Why have people been inventing language
What is Esperanto based on
To ease human communication.
It is based on Latin, German and Greek
vocabulary.
