H Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English, but it is
too hard for them to find the best method. Is it better to study in Britain or
North America or to study in your own country?
The advantages of going to a foreign country seem obvious. Firstly, you
Unit Two | 15
will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country.
Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with
other people. In your country, it is always possible to speak your native
language even in the class if you want to, so learning English is slower.
On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to
study. First, you don’t have to make big changes to your life. Moreover, it is
also a lot cheaper than traveling to another country.
So, in conclusion, if you have enough time and enough money, the best
choice is to spend some time abroad. Of course, this is simply not possible
for most people, so being in your country is the only option. The most
important thing to do in this situation is to maximize your opportunities:
to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible
outside the class.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
a. How many people learn English advantage: something that
b. The best way to learn English helps you get a better result
c. English schools in England and North America
2. What is one of the advantages of going to Britain to learn English?
a. There are no people from your own country.
b. You will have to speak English and not your language.
c. The language schools are better.
3. What is one of the advantages of staying in your country to learn English?
a. The teachers in foreign countries aren’t very good.
b. You have to work too hard in a foreign country.
c. Your life can continue more or less as it was before.
4. What should people who don’t have much time and money do to learn
English?
a. Learn English in Britain
b. Try to speak English in class more often
c. Go to a foreign country for a short time
5. Which word in the passage means “easy to see or understand”?
a. Obvious
b. Possible
c. Native
