B.Reading (8marks)
Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the
best method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country? The
advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all
the time you are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever
you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people.

In Egypt, it is always possible, in the class, to speak Arabic if you want to and the learning is
slower.
On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to
make big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it
is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in Egypt, I
think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school.
So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is
to spend some time in the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in
Egypt is the only viable 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.
Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
1. This text is mainly about how to………
a) adapt to life in the UK. b) travel easily from the UK to the USA.
c) improve English whichever method you choose. d) use English in real situations.
2. According to the passage, going to Britain gives you an opportunity to..............
a) be exposed to English all the time. b) use English whenever possible in class.
c) pay less money to acquire language. d) gain the American as well as the British accent.
3. The underlined word "viable" means…………
a) difficult. b) cheap. c) applicable. d) old-fashioned.
4. According to the passage, staying in Egypt gives you the opportunity to………….
a) earn more money through teaching a language. b) keep your lifestyle while learning English.
c) achieve the results of living in the UK. d) make big changes to your life.
5. According to the passage, to spend some time in the UK you must…………
a) maximize your opportunities. b) speak only English in class.
c) have the strong will to do so. d) be able to afford the expenses.
6. The writer of the passage thinks that it's still a good option to stay home as you............
a) don't have to go to school. b) can find a good teacher.
c) can achieve the results of living in the UK. d) can speak Arabic in class.
